Olbermann calls for mass imprisonment of Trump supporters

[Occam's Banana]

Keith Olbermann calls for the mass imprisonment of Trump supporters - just for having supported Trump.

He doesn't even bother to specify any particular crime for which they should be prosecuted - just support for Trump.

Here's a tweet embedding the video clip (I haven't found it on YouTube yet):

"Trump can be and must be expunged. The hate he has triggered, the Pandora's box he has opened, they will not be so easily destroyed. So, let us brace ourselves. The task is twofold. The terrorist Trump must be defeated, must be destroyed, must de devoured at the ballot box, and then he and his enablers and his supporters and his collaborators and the Mike Lees and the William Barrs and the Sean Hannitys and the Mike Pences and the Rudy Giulianis and the Kyle Rittenhouses and the Amy Coney Barretts must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society while we try to rebuild it and to rebuild the world Trump has nearly destroyed by turning it over to a virus. Remember it, even as we dream of a return to reality and safety and the country for which our forefathers died, that the fight is not just to win an election but to win it by enough to chase, at least for a moment, Trump and the maggots off the stage, and then try to clean up what they left. Remember it, even though to remember it means remembering that the fight does not end November third, but in many ways will only begin that day."

This is what they did in the USSR.
This is what they did in Nazi Germany.
People say, "It can't happen here."
It can. It has already started.
This is how.

This guy is freaking unhinged. The voting Democrat must be brainwashed or insane to support this rhetoric.

Gullible enough to believe anything their government tells them to believe.

This should surprise you in no way, given the events of the middle section of the twentieth century.

It is a sad truth that the average human is a beast, only that is a gross and unjustifiable insult to beasts the world over. Human beings are the most dangerous creatures on this planet... and probably on many, many others as well. I can think of nothing so terrifyingly dangerous as a frenzied mob of humans.

If you want to see a prime depiction of this, however fictional, watch the scene from The Sand Pebbles when Steve McQueen's little coulie helper is being chased by the raging mob, only to be caught, trussed up, and his chest laid open with a blade as the first gesture of blind, raging hatred just before the fun was to really begin, prompting Steve-0 to take up a Springfield and put a bullet through the poor caught bastard's heart for the sake of mercy.

Oh, and in case you're wondering what life may be like after Nov. 3, consider that someone has authored a "guide" for the left that people of that bent may organize and disrupt and destroy, ostensibly in defense of free and fair elections. If you want to read it for yourselves, go here: Stopping the Coup: The 2020 Guide - Google Docs , part of the raft to be found at The Disruption Project

These people are serious, well funded, sly as foxes, apparently eager to employ useful idiots as canon fodder, and therefore extremely dangerous. Will they act on their claims and other assertions? I've no clue, but I would never assume that they are hot air.

If chaos is brought, all I can say is that you guys who claim to be lovers of liberty had better have your $#@! wired right and tight, which will mean being prepared to kill in defense of your rights because if they are not just blowing steam, they are going to take any opportunity to destroy you, your families, and anyone else .who gets in their way or so much as displeases their grasping, shrieking, infantile selves.

Things are gone sideways and stand to get lots more squirrely. Be ready as best you can, mental preparedness being most important. I am ready to walk away from my life. Are you?

This Christian either

The fun realization in this delusional communist's screed is that libertarians and many other similar people that do not support Trump will suffer the same fate as those that do. The only litmus test will be whether you are a true believer in their cause and once all of the nonbelievers are expunged, then only then will they do the same to their own number in an endless litany of purity tests and power grasping.

Be physically and mentally prepared for strife. Form tight knit groups that work together with a common purpose. If chaos does not come, then all the better... but it might.

Purge their own? Never. They are doing all this for the people! Equality! S/

Come and take them.

This doesn't sound like they are on the winning side for Team Joe Biden and Harris when they are threatening to imprisonment of Trump supporters. This is exactly what the fascists did agaisnt their opposition.

[Anti Globalist]

$#@! like this just makes an ass kicking more justifiable.

How many guns does he own? Doesn't he realize most of the members of the military and police support Trump?

Cops will follow orders, no matter how heinous and authoritarian.

This has already been made clear.

So will the military, especially the officer corps that have been trained and indoctrinated in the same Marxist filth all the civilians have.

[Occam's Banana]

Cops will follow orders, no matter how heinous and authoritarian.

And most people will meekly comply - including many (most? all?) of those who bizarrely fly the Gadsden and "Blue Stripe" flags side by side.

I wondered what Mike Lee's sin was to make this list. Here you go. The mouth breathing baboons on the left found these (correct and non-controversial) tweets from Mike Lee's "crazy".

Olberman is a tool.

[oyarde]

olbermann and those like him will have to be protected in the cities by the demons that serve them or they will not survive . Useless eaters .

[ProBlue33]

The rhetoric of every authoritarian ideology ever, imprison or kill anybody with a different political ideology, it's what radical national socialism has led too in the past, and can lead to again.

He might as well start wearing a brown shirt, a Sturmabteilung.

[Philhelm]

Seems reasonable.

[Anti Globalist]

Seems reasonable.

Reasonable is not a word I would use to describe Leftists.

It has occurred to me that I may have been overly charitable to Olbermann by saying that he called for the "mass imprisonment" of Trump supporters.

He never actually says that they should be imprisoned. He says that they "must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society" (italic emphasis added).

Given the "destruction" rhetoric in his rant (e.g,. "not [...] so easily destroyed" and "must be destroyed"), "remov[al] from our society" may well indicate something rather more direct and permanent than mere imprisonment ...

Remember what I said in that other post about all of us having a date with a guillotine blade?

Remember what I said about how all these murderous Jacobin and Bolshevik mobs need to get them going is another Robespierre?

We are going to find out real soon if those 400 million guns and 1 trillion rounds of ammo are nothing but expensive paperweights or not.

Psychopaths like this should be locked up if anything

This is equally as bad as the "Psychopath" calling for others to be locked up.

Government isn't going to fix this, government caused the rift on purpose.

Is that what Olbermann is really calling for or is it some sort of final solution to the Trump problem? There are real crazy and violent people out there that listen to this $#@!, they've been getting their heads pumped with the most ridiculous propaganda for years now to the point these demoralized individuals think they are living in literal Nazi Germany. These PSYCHOPATHS have blood on their hands for all the violence they've provoked and I hold them personally responsible. If this freak wants to advocate violence against his political enemies then he is a danger to himself and others.

Actually, no. The question turns on the premise of who's right v. the wrong. The sovereignty of the individual, as well as the absolute nature of the principles of proper human relations, all of which are readily demonstrable as being objectively correct, define the right.
Anything else is provably wrong. The relativism of the progressives is utter nonsense.

Given this, those who not just refuse to accept objectively correct principles of such relations and who endeavor in materially effective ways to bring insurrection against those who live by those principles, forfeit their claims to life for precisely the reason that they strive to violate those very claims held with equal authority by their fellows. Exterminating such people is no different that a man who shoots and kills another who attempts to bring him harm.

Equal rights, non-aggression and all that apply only where relations are properly and mutually respectful. The moment a man departs from such relations, he places himself in immediate peril of his very life. It matters no whit whether he does so seriously or in jest. It matters no whit whether he does so in words or more physically obvious and substantive actions. The moment one issues a threat against the property rights of another, he places his life in the hands of others and if he loses it, the doleful result rests with him solely. That is why proper manners and respecting interpersonal boundaries are so vitally important to free people. The casual ways in which people approach and treat one another is anathema to liberty. Sadly, that casualness is abetted and even advocated by law (at least in America). I could go on about the how's and whys, but that stands to be a long discussion.

My apologies for not being suitably coherent.

The point I was trying to make in a single sentence was that calling for government to "lock up" your nemesis is patently synonymous to having street minions fight social battles in your stead as the "Psychopath" would do.

"Government" as an entity wielding powers over the masses might represent some segment of society or even some of societies collective ideas and mores but in the end her agents should not be relied on dispense justice simply because no entity can truly represent the individual.

Nonetheless you are correct in that one opinion sits squarely in the right while the other is clearly wrong and I failed to clarify that.
