“Ferguson/Occupy/Garner” anarchists proving Durkheim’s theory of “anomie”
Coach is Right ^ | 12/12/14 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

The early 20th century sociologist Emile Durkheim’s theory about the divide between the greater society and some individuals still holds up.

Durkheim called this condition “anomie” and described it as “a condition in which society provides little moral guidance to individuals.” He saw anomie as a, “breakdown of social bonds between an individual and the community…..rejection of self-regulatory values.”

As Durkheim saw those who had fallen into anomie, they were “deranged and had an insatiable will.”

Were he alive today Durkheim would recognize the mismatch between societal standards and the non-existent standards of the “Ferguson/Occupy/Garner” protestors who are running through our streets making believe they matter.

The genius and foresight of Durkheim, who explained his theory in his 1897 book, “Suicide,” is astounding.

We are seeing the reemergence of anomie in today’s “Ferguson/Occupy/Garner” social misfits. They believed Barack Obama would remake our country into a socialist paradise. They believed in “knowledge for its own sake” rather than, “knowledge for power sake.”

Because they did, if they finished college they graduated with a degree in Peruvian Folklore, Feminist History or something equally useless. Now that the cruel reality that no one wants to hire them...

If you ignore the videos and articles we have seen showing the communist party organizing these events then this guy doesn’t seem like a total idiot.

If.

I would use another word that starts with ‘a’ to describe them.

Simply put: they are gullible, brainwashed insecure lunatics with a LOOKITME attitude. Anyone who paid attention to the facts of Martin, Brown, Garner can see these idiots are wrong on every count and are being used by the race pimps and manipulative politicians.

The left-wing anarchist does not really believe in "no government". He just wants government to stop protecting private property from seizure by the mob. Once all means of production have been seized by the mob, it opens the door to socialism/communism.

One thing I’ve noticed about these protests is they are all asking for disarming the police now. It must have become apparent to organizers that a gun grab would never work, even after mass shootings they so love to embrace.

Now they’re asking for the rule of law to be disarmed without ever thinking that’s the line keeping many armed citizens for taking up arms themselves against them.
