If you think that these white nationalists are just a tiny fringe, then you’re absolutely delusional. One of them is running as the GOP candidate for Congress in an Illinois (I think) district. The fact that this rally had an embarrassing turnout doesn’t mean that they aren’t an incredibly despicable group that’s capable of very dangerous things.
I’ve made a lot of posts that make no sense, but my last post in here made perfect sense.
EDIT: Trust me, I’m a very stable genius.
And once again, there’s a total failure by most of the rightwing to unequivocally condemn the Nazis themselves. The fact that some of the anti-Nazi protesters attacked police and journalists does not mean that the anti-fascist demonstrators are just as bad as the neoNazis themselves. I’m getting really tired of this false equivalence.
I like how you characterize apologetics and whataboutism into…how dare you draw a false equivalence - even if nobody is doing that. What does the rightwing have to do with that Vox article?
I don’t really care about Vox; I’m talking about the phenomena in general. I’m also talking about the rightwing apologetics and false equivalences that they do every time violence erupts at a Nazi rally. They did it at the first Unite the Right rally too. The president himself even refused to condemn neoNazism and blamed “both sides” for the violence. Thanks for ignoring my point, by the way. I always enjoy having my argument ignored completely in favor of some obnoxious gibberish. I really don’t even understand your post. The apologetics for the alt-right has always been that aspects of the left are just as bad. Trump’s “violence on both sides” bullshit is the very definition of a false equivalence.
I get really frustrated when people, primarily on the right, constantly try to act as though harassment and violence against gay and trans people is something that’s unique to Muslim countries. It’s definitely worse in those countries than in the United States, but our country is full of subhuman shit like the people plotting to terrorize this kid. I’m glad that the school seems to be taking some kind of action at least. Usually they’d just ignore it completely. Hopefully all of these terrorists will go to prison, and if not then hopefully some upstanding citizen will beat the shit out of them.

It still holds up as a zombie movie. Seriously, it’s really good and still looks great today.
It isn’t a joke. It’s a fact based on observable reality.
You guys really think that Patrick Stewart looks like Harrison Ford? I’m just not seeing how you could compare the two, they are completely different.
The Star Trek canon and timeline has always been extremely convoluted and contradictory. It was just as daunting to get into in 2005 as it is now.

The reason Trump won’t condemn alt-righters and other neo-Nazis today is the same reason why he didn’t do it after the neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville. It’s a simple reason and it’s that he sympathizes with the neo-Nazis and realizes that they’re his supporters.
Others have been completely screwed by having a 30 minute span of time they couldn’t shop there in the middle of the night. (Although they should have warned him sooner)
You say this is though it’s unreasonable to be pissed off that a store was so incompetent that it couldn’t sell you things while they’re open for business.

This is why Disney buying them out was a really horrible thing.
I’m almost 60, and I’ve been hearing this Fall of the Roman Empire stuff since I was in elementary school.
True, but it’s always been applied to the USA in general, not to ‘the left’.
Hmm, not so sure about that. I’ve always heard of it relation to things like homosexuality, abortion, drugs, less Jesus, etc., the usual social battle cries of the right.
This! All of those things are rights that liberals advocate for so if they aren’t saying the left is crashing and burning, that’s definitely the implication.
Jordan Peterson is not against identity politics. He’s constantly talking about how oppressed men are.
It was a recurring topic in That 70s Show too.
That’s not fucking around. That’s working.
Same thing.

They’re not synonyms, but they usually go hand in hand. Most unintelligent people are very uninformed and vice versa.
They were putting boxes on shelves.
Please keep my name out of your mouth, if you don’t mind. Thanks.
Lol. He’s not supposed to reference comments made by the site administrator?
If you left the thread because you found the discussion toxic, I wouldn’t be in here mentioning your name, especially in reference to a post you made elsewhere. If he has a problem with what I said, he can bring it up in the thread I said it instead of posting it in a topic everyone knows I’m deliberately avoiding because I said as much.
He probably forgot which thread it was in and it’s relevant to this thread. If I made a political comment somewhere and someone brought it up in this thread and I wouldn’t hold it against them. It’s actually one of the few things that even I wouldn’t hold against somebody.
What you find bothersome isn’t relevant. And whatever thread it involved, I made it clear that I didn’t want to participate in this one anymore, so I don’t appreciate my name being brought up in attempt to goad me into defending something I never said. Address what I posted where I posted it and leave me out of this mess.
And I don’t know why you guys keep bringing up the fact that I’m the admin. It has zero relevance.
When an admin of a site makes a demand, there’s an implicit threat behind it. It’s very obvious. It’s like if your landlord tells you to stop doing something.
And like a landlord, I would cite the lease if you were in violation of the terms and suggest you act accordingly. Did I cite the rules? No. I told him to get his shit straight.
If you feel threatened, that’s everything to do with you and nothing with me.
I don’t feel threatened at all. I’m just saying that being an administrator and then making demands has implicit threat of banning behind it. Obviously. I find it weird that you say the things that you say and act the way that you act and then expect people to be cordial with you. I didn’t say I was bothered by anything, so I don’t see why you brought that up because, you’re right, that is irrelevant. I wasn’t goading you either. He obviously wasn’t. He was just bringing up a comment that you made. I don’t even think he got it that wrong because being “uninformed” and “unintelligent” are often interchangeable words. And you obviously do read this thread regularly if you’re so ready to jump back in and police it and then continue to bicker when you claim to be checking out of the toxic conversation. You’ve contributed to the toxicity too. Not as much as I have, of course, but you’ve contributed nonetheless, so I find your whole attitude to this thread weird.
Well most stores won’t open the doors if they aren’t open. I believe he just dropped in at a bad time, which unfortunately does happen in business that keeps their doors open 24/7 (Which most bigger Walmarts do), however it is unfortunate he was not warned by someone prior to going to the checkouts. I mean granted in the middle of the night there won’t be a ton of workers but surely someone could have told him. If they were closed they should have locked the doors and put up a sign, or at least have an older employee stand at the doors and warn people coming in, which is what my Walmart would have done.
There were workers everywhere in there. At least 10 employees were fucking around in the aisles.

If they are charitable enough to be considered charitable organizations then I’m okay with them being tax exempt, but they should absolutely not be tax exempt just because they’re religious institutions.
