This thread isn't about you and satisfying your demands so you can drive yet another thread off topic.



Ah the tactic. This thread has been all over the frickin place. The one central theme is the event that sparked it, but beyond that it’s been about all sorts of stuff. So yeah me responding to your pals claim that three people in here supported that politician isn’t thread derailment (was his post, or yours?).

The killer flashed the alt right OK sign in court. The same one employed by some Trump supporters.

The murderous lump of garbage in human form behind the massacre stated a goal was to sow division and inflame Left Vs. Right division. When a terrorist tells you he is going to do something so that the reactions he expects will fulfill his agenda, most rational people from the left or the right would refuse to play along.

It also seems to be a goal of Rush Limbaugh

Limbaugh : "There's an ongoing theory that the shooter himself may in fact be a leftist who writes the manifesto and then goes out and performs the deed purposely to smear his political enemies."

Because of course he'd say something like that...

Fucking Limbaugh. He pushes the most absurd shit & is somehow believed. He's the Godfather of the GOP base.

How many posts did you spend whining that white people were demonized?

Anning got what he deserved there. I wonder if there will be some charges laid from that video due to excessive force to restrain the kid.
Dunno. I think he probably deserved a bit worse than an egg.

Violence is not the only alternative to "civility." You're drawing a false dichotomy. I am saying civility is useless now...

I spoke a great deal more than just opposing violence. I spoke of political action.
Do you think you can lure in more voters by... being uncivil towards them?

I see building hope for a better future as the key method of disarming and of diminishing the threat Trump poses. His only strength is he got to lie to the voters and promise them a fairy tale. That is a stage and an arena for which he stood alone in 2016. There was no competition in the realm of positive ideas, in terms of appealing towards and luring in the hopeless victims of trickle down.

When I see you desire an end to civility, I see you wanting to tell those potential voters to go !@#$ themselves. Instead of trying to win an election. I see you trying to fulfill your vision of a dead America.

Keep in mind these are the same voters spouting off the vitriol I posted in the previous page. They are unreachable, gaslighted, bigoted and uneducated morons. You will never be able to change their mind with facts and rational arguments. They operate purely on dogmatic, sensationalised and demonstrably wrong views. Yes a portion of them will go through their lives and eventually end up changing camps -- how many? I would wager a tiny sliver. By then, the damage would have been done and it would have been a lost cause.

Just remember, liberals have been meeting them in the middle for the last how many decades. What do you have to show for that? A fascist, extreme right-wing white supremacist owned by Russians, destabilising the States, vilifying Americans and cozying up to dictators and murderers. You can't meet in the middle when it comes to the point of them deciding which group of Americans they want to kill off, now can you?

Steve King waves hello from Congress. Did the dipshits acknowledge they own this guy because he's right wing yet?

Or is he still No True Scotsman?

The dude circle fingered the world and you looked. He’s an evil, violent....troll essentially. It wouldn’t suprise me if the reason he did it was to stir shit with people who think it truly is an alt right white power symbol. The guy seems to eat live breathe internet and his massacre is laden with internet memes. It’s twisted in bizarre.

Meh..of course I "looked". He flashed the sign for some form of recognition, from who?. He knew he was on camera. When this photo was shown in NZ why did the NZ authorities censor/blurr this "hand gesture". Maybe you can tell us what it really means and why he did it.

A terrorist who murdered a bunch of people finds inspiration from the same place as some ot the President of the United States' supporters, and discussing that fact is where the problem lies in your mind?

You can continue to "hand wave" away where this guy got inspiration and motivation to carry out this act. But, hopefully more and more people will start paying attention..Carry on..

Show me the posts in this thread where somebody supported him. Who were those three again?

Here's the post.. s0me0nesmind1 supporting the terrorist and making excuses for him.

Cite SPECIFICALLY where this shooter is "far right". With facts.

As I said NUMEROUS times - and no one can manage to debunk my point... Racism isn't a conservative agenda.

Everything in his text indicates he is far left you insignificant buffoon.

"They" are all the same then?
Do "They" all deserve the same fate?
That's the sentiment of the shooter.

Pro tip... groups of people are not monolithic. The outcome of different elections changes. You do not seem to understand or appreciate this so I will spell it out. Clinton was President. Then Bush. Then Obama. Then Trump. And you dare tell us it is hopeless to reach out and inspire voters? To change the outcome? To win an election?

Doesn't even have to be right wingers we reach out to and inspire. But it takes hope for a better future. It takes a tone of civility to reach out and inspire people in this way. So that you do not mis-communicate, trample sacred cows, or risk being see as threatening them or attacking them. Saying civility needs to end means hostility. Means there will be collateral damage among voters who could otherwise join you.

I view the subject as a matter of pushing people away, or reaching out to get them to join you.
I see a person telling me America is dead, and I see that they intend to push people away instead of building a better future.

Well, I found out about the massacre here. I took people's advice and didn't look for or watch the video. I held onto the thread because it was discourse, it was communication. Yes, there are absurd apologists defending divisive ideologies, but I see through those and fortunately there are quite a few intelligent, sentient and rather eloquent people here to counter them. I watched ABC news later, it added little. Of course, they showed Trumpie further disgracing himself, there's no end to that other than him falling off the media cliff, which he will one day (the sooner the better!!!). I will be glad to celebrate that. Hopefully, we'll still have something to build on at that point.

That is such a loaded concept.

The "middle", as defined by what? I say reach out and inspire. That does not happen through mediocrity, or by an ineffective response against trickle down. People can be inspired by bold changes that promise a better future. That are large enough to have an impact. Large enough to work. Granted, that makes it all the more difficult to achieve, but that makes it all the more important to push and pursue and to rally votes for it.

Have you heard nothing of my policies? I appear to be left of Bernie Sanders and when I say reach out and inspire people, I do not mean for the status quo.

Trump won by taking a bold stance against normalcy. People hoped for change. I say it's time we returned the favor.

This is where the US has ended up with one side making concession after concession while the other side consistently lies, cheats and incites hatred and vitriol ad nauseum. If you really believe that, then your sentiment is better voiced towards the Trump supporters -- the uncivil ones, to put it extremely lightly. Not to the folks who have made endless concessions to these deaf, uncivil imbeciles in the first place.

And many of you seem to live in a world where conservatives are evil fascists. Civility matters because without it we have this unsustainable political war going on and it’s eating the country apart. Unfortunately the most vocal on both sides of the aisle are the fringe and they seem to drive the ship. Working with the opposing party is frowned upon on compromise has become a four letter word. There’s no reason for that and yes both side (another four letter word it seems) are very much guilty of it.
Dude, you should educate yourself. Your prose isn't even high school level. Do you read much? Do you have the capacity, the will, the ability, the self respect to review your rants before you hit the [POST REPLY] button? Check yourself out. You don't come off well.

Every politician does that. None of them say they will bring the same ole same ole. The people who voted for him were fools, every one. He's really just another politician, in fact he's more a politician than most of the people in office because his concern is getting support, getting people to his rallies and hearing cheers. He has no desire to educate himself. He purported to be different, but the irony in it all is that he's more of the same. Not just more of the same, but a heaping helping of the ignominy of which he pretended to be the antithesis. Such is the state of our nation.

So break down my post on what you disagree with other than just an empty reply on how I need to read more to check my prose.

What is your solution to this real world problem? Constantly pointing out that Trump isn't the entire problem gets us nowhere.

You see, we can do something about Trump. And Trump clearly is contributing to this problem. We can't do anything about Islamophobes and other hate mongers in foreign countries. Except that some of them may well be inspired by Trump. Like this one.

If other countries see us doing the right thing by jettisoning Trump if can give others hope
