Link N. D. B. Connolly, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins University, urges liberal protesters to ‘start throwing rocks’ to drive out those with whom they disagree. While stoning has a long history in Arabic culture, it has not typically been a feature of Western civilization, except in such notable literature as Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land and Shirley Jackson’s short story, The Lottery. Connolly deploys a shaky metaphor of ‘rock paper scissors’ in an effort to justify his demand that liberals take up stoning as a form of protest against ‘neo-Nazis’ and ‘segregationists’. "Segregationists have again assumed their pedestals in the Justice Department, the White House and many other American temples. Paper alone won’t drive them out. Start throwing rocks." It is unclear how Connolly intends to identify the individuals he wishes to be stoned. Rock, paper, scissors (RPS) is a strategy game dating back to 18th century Japan that involves making simultaneous hand gestures, one of which always overpowers the other. Rocks beats scissors, and scissors beat paper while paper beats rock. According to players at the World RPS Tournament, a safe bet is to throw scissors, and a winning bet against an aggressive opponent is to throw paper. In Connolly’s calculus, paper is liberalism, scissors is white supremacy and armed self-defense or non-violent direct-action is rock. Ostensibly, when Connolly calls for the throwing of rocks, he means that white supremacy must be challenged with stoning in the form of armed resistance, where non-violence does not work. "Resistance, be it forceful or clandestine, threatened or explicit, stands as our “rock.” Rocks can look like armed self-defense or nonviolent direct-action campaigns. They appear, too, as blunt, bald public speech about the hatred arrayed against the dispossessed." According to Connolly’s own metaphor, white supremacy (scissor) is the least likely choice, and against an aggressive opponent (rock), liberalism (paper), or the war of words and ideas, is the winning strategy. Stoning remains legal in fifteen countries around the world. It is unlikely to become legal in the United States of America, despite the support and advocacy of elite university professors like Dr. Connolly. |

These loons are going to start getting shot and sooner rather than later.
They really are working themselves up to a frenzy. |

Sick SOB needs to be visited by the FBI and fired by the university.

This kind of talk is acceptable now, as long as it comes from the "correct" side. This selective application of laws and selective recognition of rights is leading to a very dark place, and it's a place where even these assholes will regret going to.

Lol, Segrigationists have occupied the White House now? You do know that BLM was started under and gained legitimacy(in the media) under King Hussein with his direct support, right?

Things I learned from Kent State, the US Border Patrol, and the IDF:
Don't throw rocks at people with guns. |

Did that article really just define what Rock Paper Scissors was

Here's seriously advocating committing assault on anyone he disagrees with.

Sooner or later he'll run into a sociopath that doesn't care.
When he gets his ass handed to him, for his actions, he'll cry racism, it's the one trick pony he rides. Beaten into a coma, no fucks given. |

Unpossible. That side is incapable of violence. Or so I hear.

This country does appear to be headed for some type of confrontation. View Quote I will defend myself and family, but I won't be rushing to the front lines. I figure the useful idiots will be plentiful for that. But I do expect the left to throw the first shot. |

So all those liveleak stoning videos I watched are really just people standing up to racism and oppression, maybe?
What part of RPS is it when they put a tire over the guy's body and light it on fire? |

View Quote At that point, the propoganda media can accelerate the pace and elevate the rhetorical calls for police violence against the right and .gov intervention. Keep in mind that the Intifada in Israel was preceded by stone throwing ...and it has blossomed into an industrial military effort with international backing. The hand of Obama is strong in this one. https://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2017/01/economist-explains-12 |
