I won't be playing the game of what-aboutism. Authoritarianism is bad no matter where it appears. It exists on both sides of the political aisle, and it should be rebuked every time, regardless of how prevalent you think it is on your team.
@JasSmith @Phyrin @BrokebackHampton
Can you show me an example of a hard-leftist shoving their ideology down someone else's throat?
How about a Hard-Leftist that crafted, then got passed a law that restricts the choices of the hard-right?
Are there numerous cases of Leftists driving through crowds or maybe shooting up a synagogue, that I'm unaware of?
I'm not saying the Left is perfect, but I call bullshit on the equivocation of the 2 sides.
Sure. Last year Biden issued an executive order to enshrine gender transition for children across the entire nation. The vast majority of Americans oppose "gender affirming care" for children. In red states, support is even lower. Biden should have left this up to individuals, parents, and states, but instead decided that his and his party's values should be shoved down the throats of the entire nation.
Here is one mass shooter. Aiden Hale was trans, and killed students and teachers at a christian school. Aiden wrote a manifesto, but the police are yet to release it.
Here is another. Kimbrady Carriker is a BLM and pride supporting, cross-dressing, mass-shooter.
Here is a "non-binary" shooter.
Here is another trans shooter.
And another.
I fully expect you to play the game of "but they're not REEEEEAL leftists," and I don't care. I'm not claiming that both sides are equivalent. I'm saying that authoritarianism is always bad, no matter where it appears.
Joseph “nothing will fundamentally change” Biden is a hard-leftist now?
@NXTR @Phyrin @BrokebackHampton @JasSmith
You would have to ask JasSmith that question.
I'm asking you, now directly, to stop quoting me in every single comment. Jeez dude.
@BrokebackHampton @Phyrin @JasSmith @NXTR
Solving that problem right now!
This is what I get for replying while distracted
Interesting how you neglected to bring up all of the straight, white, male, conservative, cisgender mass shooters that outweigh LGBT/BLM shooters by several orders of magnitude. Acting like the issue doesn't skew drastically in one direction is disingenuous at best.
This may be the dumbest, least accurate thing I have ever read. Are you Mike Lyndell?
@JasSmith @Phyrin @BrokebackHampton
Lets start with the easy one:
So Biden's trans-gender EO is forcing children to transition?!?!
OR
Giving them a choice?
I could not care less about what "Red States" want, since they haven proven they've lost their minds.
They don't want, they DEMAND, a religious nation, under their personal God, because he's the bestest one, in a country founded, in part, on religious freedom.
I'm at work, but I'll take a look at those shooter articles.
@JasSmith @Phyrin @BrokebackHampton
As far as what you "fully expect", that's mostly why I plan to exit this conversation. Not because I don't have rebuttals, but you've already made your decision about who I am, what I think and what I'm going to say, so, honestly, why bother?
and there it fucking is
I think they're rebuking people for being hypocritical and not actually paying attention; like fascism really is the bigger danger rn, while most people in the US at least have like kneejerk negative reactions to the concept of communism
like it is not a "both sides are equally bad" thing
