No, you're just making false equivalences. Regardless, today it's the jihadis coming for your ass. When they come to where you are you will say "but I defended you on the internet! I shat on my own people who care about me in favor of you!" and they will say "you are very stupid!" and then they will saw off your head.
And Christians have been dicks to people, but it's not in the same league as jihadis.
Ignore the particular insult. The point is any reasonable reading of history, of what muslims believe, of how they behave once they have achieved a certain population density and it's obvious one should never allow Islam to take root in your nation. You're just dooming your kids or your grandkids to civil war. But no amount of calmly pointing to similar historical situations like Lebanon, showing someone Pew Research polls about what muslims believe, obvious common sense will get your average brain-dead person to wake up and say "hey, stop letting muslims immigrate to the west." You need to scream about goatfucking rapefugees if you want to get anyone's attention.
Just sayin', when people say they saw a UFO, the g-man comes out and says "no it's just swamp gas reflecting off a weather balloon." Podesta and the people connected to him exhibit very strange behavior and there's no explanation except "FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS!!!" If someone can't come up with a better explanation for their behavior and communications then it'll never end.
It would be nice if Podesta and pals would explain the in-jokes then. After all, nutjobs are taking it seriously and someone might get hurt. Also just for my own curiosity I'd really like to know what a pizza-related map handkerchief is.
So are you agreeing Pizzagate is not fake news? It's a conspiracy theory. Nobody just made it up. They found weird emails with weird statements that no one would make that look like some kind of code and weird social media accounts with weird stuff posted to them. And nobody's bothered to explain "oh...this is what a pizza-related map handkerchief is, don't you feel silly now?" Or explain how one...I can't remember what it was "plays dominoes better on pizza or pasta" or whatever that weird message was.
I'm not saying it's true. I doubt it...it's probably confirmation bias. But screaming "fake news!!!" isn't going to make it stop. Someone needs to offer an alternative explanation to the weird language and debunk the conspiracy theory. When people think they saw a UFO the g-man needs to explain that no, it was swamp gas reflecting off a weather balloon or whatever. You can't just stand there saying "nothing to see here move along."
Sure, but conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory keeps coming true. If 20 years ago you were rambling about government mind control experiments, the CIA letting crack into black neighborhoods and the government recording all your phone calls people would think you were crazy. All that stuff was true though.
Doesn't mean this is true, of course. But I just think we're kind of past the point where one can say "lol conspiracy theory" and have that be an argument.
Even Fox News don't seem to have covered this as anything other than a conspiracy theory.
Actually the thing I find weird (from the media point of view that is...the whole thing is weird) is that they're wrapping it up in this "fake news" narrative. Pizzagate isn't fake news...it's a conspiracy theory. Nobody sat down and said "oh man we're gonna make up this thing about this weird pizza place!" People followed clues and made connections (which are likely just a perfect storm of confirmation bias) but conspiracy theories are different than "fake news."
Whether or not the businesses that used similar symbols were aware of this is unknown (and unlikely), but there are symbols pedophiles use to signal to other pedophiles their preferences.
Tone policing is an interesting form of thought control in that regard. People aren't rational. They make emotional decisions, and then they rationalize them. If you want to change someone's mind, you need to do so via emotion, not reason. Shock them out of the complacency of their current mode of thought. Humor is effective. So are pictures of dead Syrian kids or whatever. Stopping "hate speech" is basically outlawing rhetoric emotionally powerful enough to change a mind. So sure they'll go after someone mocking "pedo-worshipper" muslims, but probably never anyone mocking Christians for worshiping a zombie or whatever.
If one side gets emotional pleading, and the other side is stuck with boring facts and reason, the emotional side will win every time. In the large scale and long term that is.
It's still all dumb. Don't bother evaluating someone's ideas for truth, just label it an -ism, denounce it, and move on. We must end ismism, because the ismists are killing our ability to think.
But way more white people are attacked by blacks than the other way around. And if we're talking just about political violence, this past election cycle it was white Trump supporters getting attacked in the streets by blacks and latinos, not the other way around. Leftists will jump through hoops to call it justified of course. After all, left wing violence is speech and right wing speech is violence.
You're proving the AC's point. "Kill whitey" is fine because fuck whitey, not because hate or violence are wrong.
Hate is an emotion. That everyone feels about some things or another.
Hate is even good and useful. Psalms 97:10 says "Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked." Hating slavery, poverty, injustice, are all good things.
This hate speech nonsense is just political control and has nothing to do with "hate." They'll only ban the types of "hate speech" that come from the opponents of those in power while letting their allies run wild.
Then you have no idea what you're talking about. There are probably not even a million white nationalists in the US. Trump also got ~40% of latinos and 12% of blacks. Were they white nationalists, too?
But you think there are, because of mass delusion and media fuckery. This will cause the left to continue to lose massively because they're standing there screaming "RACIST!" at people who know they're not racists, are not voting for racial reasons, and are likely not even racially conscious.
If I told you I can read your mind, and I know that even though you claim you're voting for a tax and foreign policy you believe are the best for your country, I can read your mind so I know you're really voting because you believe in magical purple unicorns who tell you how to vote, would I have earned your vote?
This is what happens when you scream "racist" at people who aren't racist. They don't vote for you. You just prove you're insane by failing to understand them while claiming you know what they're thinking and feeling. The left is going to keep doing this, and keep losing.
Sure, but I'm also saying the people who are staggering across the border, or the people we're dragging in from Somali to work cheap and vote Democrat...these are not doctors and engineers. These are people coming from places where the average IQ is in the 80s. I would consider that "semi-retarded."
The older I get, the more I realize that everyone has an agenda.
Exactly. Everything is propaganda. Bias is a part of human nature. I prefer when people clearly state their biases as it's easier to see where they're coming from. I think a large part of the problem we face is people who believe that such a thing as "unbiased journalism" exists. There are people who don't think CNN has an agenda. And that agenda is not always congruent with the best interests of the viewers.
This is turning into a real problem. When Trump won the NH primary Huffington Post's cover page said "NH GOES RACIST, SEXIST XENOPHOBIC!!!" Literally that. All caps. I wondered what would happen if Trump wins the whole thing. Will people who believe Huffington Post wake up and realize "Oh, people in New Hampshire voted for Trump because they're tired of $10 heroin on their streets, not because they hate blacks and Mexicans and women, and Huffington Post has been lying to them." Or will they freak the ever loving fuck out because they believe there are secret nazis EVERYWHERE! From my FaceBook feed, the answer is the latter.
People need to read the narrative, read the counter-narrative, check the sources, and see who's lying about what in which cases. But instead here we've got the mainstream media trying to propagandize the people that anything that doesn't come from them is "fake news." Stay in that bubble kids! Never look for an alternative point of view! Do what we tell you vote how we tell you!
This is among the reasons you lost, and if you don't fix it you're going to keep losing. To win, you must know your enemy and know yourself. You do not know your enemy.

For the past 30 years we've been rolling over and playing dead. Maybe try something else for a bit?

Do you always answer a question with another question?
Metaphors are hard.
No, the Treaty of Versailles and the failures of the Weimar Republic brought about the rise of the third reich. Stay in school, kids.
Actually, don't, the schools are crap these days and teach kids garbage like if you say mean things Hitler will appear.

Keep this crap up, yo. Democrats will never win another election.

About 60 million people voted for Trump. Do you think there are 60 million white nationalists in the US?
You should read this if you still think there's EBIL RAYCISTS EVERYWHERE!!!!
This is among the reasons you lost, and if you don't fix it you're going to keep losing. To win, you must know your enemy and know yourself. You do not know your enemy.
What's the difference?
Actually you're a faggot.
