Once again, much of Left wing thought in this country is easily understood if it is comprehended that it acts as an excuse for higher class, economically speaking only, whites, to pour vials of wrath on the heads of lower class, economically speaking only, whites, and to feel virtuous while engaging in raw hate. When the tables are turned upon them, they usually react with blind fury.
Much of the political debate in this country is disguised class warfare. But the people of Martha’s Vineyard need not worry, the playground of our rich elite will doubtless not long be troubled with the diversity the elite trumpet for everyone else.
Told you:
The wealthy elites of Martha's Vineyard couldn't handle a very small influx of illegal immigrants for even 24 hours. AMAZING. Amazing. Bused them right out. https://t.co/75iKBESoue

There's something extraordinarily ironic about top level Democrats crying over Republicans sending illegal immigrants to deep blue areas. You don't get to champion your altruism while someone else foots the bill, then play victim when that bill comes due. pic.twitter.com/7KqPlDBrGT

How soon will (TDS) Trump-Derangement-Syndrome become (DDS) Desantis-Derangement-Syndrome?
When the media tech lords say so and when the army of flying monkeys absorbs it.
The media will attempt (is attempting). Real question is: are a majority of flying monkeys really that dumb? It’ll be interesting to see if DDS gets off the ground.
I think the flying monkeys really are that dumb, but they don’t like to look stupid and they’re really going to look incredibly stupid if they exchange TDS for DDS.
Ironic, isn’t it, that the very same man who so brilliantly presented a visual and literate history of Civil War I is so all-in on the tactics being used in an attempt to start Civil War II? Is this simply more proof that leftists cannot conceive of irony at all, at least when they are its cause?
Burns has always been a left wing loon. He was saved on the Civil War series from his worst instincts by Shelby Foote. His current argument that the US should have bombed the rail lines to the extermination camps, ignores that the extermination camps were at the extreme limit of US bombers, that until 44 we did not have fighters in the numbers with the range to fly as escorts, that bombing the rail lines would have involved continual raids to keep them out of operation, that the Nazis could simply have used trucks, alternate rail lines, set up new extermination camps, etc, and that all of this would have diverted the bombers from essential strategic targets. All this was considered during the War, when our knowledge of the magnitude of the scope of what the Nazis were doing was hazy, and bombing the rail lines was rejected as a futile effort that would not materially aid the victims of the Nazi madness, and that the only way to help them was to bring the War to a victorious conclusion as soon as possible.
“ Burns has always been a left wing loon. He was saved on the Civil War series from his worst instincts by Shelby Foote.”
Thanks, Don. I probably should have known that. 😁
You wouldn’t punish your worst enemy by asking them to board with the likes of Spike Lee, Chelsea Handler and Rosie O’Donnell.
Additionally, someone needs to fly in a couple dozen homeless and violent criminals they arrested and cut loose on zero bail. Maybe they could invite to brunch some antifas and BLM arsonists and looters.
Small incidents are sometimes telling. In 2007, Burns made some public commentary on the case of three Duke University students accused of raping a stripper. The state attorney-general took the case away from the discredited local DA and determined the three accused were innocent of the charges (in fact, no rape had occurred). The three young men had endured a year’s worth of defamation courtesy The New York Times, Newsweek, the Durham Herald-Sun, and employees of Duke. Their families were out hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in legal fees. Burns described what happened to these three young men as ‘an inconvenience’, for which he was duly taken apart by Prof. KC Johnson. He’s a deeply obtuse man and should be ignored on any subject he tackles. Of course, PBS has been keeping him in clover, because Burns is not the only deeply obtuse man employed in the media.
As for his latest thesis, it’s been addressed by an actual scholar:

Here is KC Johnson on Burns.
Democrat President Roosevelt turned away an ocean liner with Jewish passengers fleeing Nazi persecution. The ship instead went to the Dominican Republic

I think your memory of the story in question is garbled.
Neither Roosevelt nor Churchill had any particular interest in efforts to do something about the Jewish persecution. Strangely, those with the least resources, the Danes and the Dutch made the greatest efforts, along with the Pope’s efforts in Italy, that saved thousands. The French Communists also had a few operations but they were looking to enhance their position in postwar Europe.

See Rubenstein’s work.
That aside. Denmark’s Jewish population was small and could be readily sent out of the country. The Dutch populace may have been quite sympathetic, but the Jewish population there had a high mortality rate just the same. The bulk of Italy’s small Jewish population survived and the Bulgarian population also survived. IIRC, French officials assiduously protected the native Jewish population but turned over the post 1927 immigrant Jews.
A headline reads: “Migrants Flown Into Martha’s Vineyard to Be “Voluntarily” Moved to Military Base on Cape.”
OMG this is embarrassing. MV couldn’t handle 50 migrants and the called up the Guard!
It’s not like they have houses for rent that will work if you do five to a room….

More popcorn please.
I’m loving this.
