Calling people Nazis doesn't help anything, but I bet it's emotionally cathartic. Safe spaces were specifically founded to be an escape from contrary opinions and a man like me who is constantly bombarded by them can never develop PTSD due to constant exposure to the stimulus.
Triggering is a PTSD-like response to trauma. It is part and parcel of your feminist allies and has nothing to do with watching morons on the internet scream about TEH NAZIS. Telling Americans that they are TEH NAZIS is so cliche today, and so false, that it makes rational people question the sanity of anyone who does it.
I thought I would just point out a few things: (1) the alt-right is a few thousand people. They wouldn't fill a high school basketball auditorium. Constantly shouting that anyone who disagrees with you is a Nazi is a child's approach to argument. (2) Xenophobia is an irrational fear. It is not irrational to fear the holy warriors of Islam. If they ever win, they will throw people like you off of buildings.
So, your solution to injustice is more injustice. Do you or do you not know this has been tried about a billion times and doesn't work? You do not fix some people's problems by harming other innocent people. It just generates resentment which results in negative outcomes. It does make leftists feel better about themselves, though, which I suppose is the whole point.
So, once again America is wrong and evil and letting people die, and the problems are so sore that we need to adopt socialism right now, without a vote if necessary. You'd think in such a vile country people wouldn't be lining up to get in. Of course, I get it. You aren't comparing us to any country that exists, you're comparing us to a utopia that exists only in your head. Measured against a fantasy like that, no wonder we look like savages. I mean, we're literally killing people because we're greedy and stupid, why would you want deplorable citizens like that to prosper?
So you're one of those morons who doesn't have a passport. How do you expect anyone to take your deplorable parochialism seriously? Normal people are on an airplane several times a year at least.
The really hilarious part is thinking that the Left gives a shit about the deplorable working class. The very idea that the Left should help them is so wrong I want to bust out laughing. The working class is the enemy. Hillary nailed it.
Oh God, give the Nazi thing a rest. DURR HURR AMERIkkkA IS TEH NAZIS EVERYBODY PANIC. How do thinking people keep their brains turned on during emotionally motivated ranting like this?
That's the wrong reply. You're supposed to point out that Al Gore isn't a climate scientist, etc. I can't help but notice the emotional nature of your "argument" and I see this a lot. When you see evidence that contradicts your position, you get angry because I'm violating the Holy scriptures of your secular religion. Like most believers, you can't deal with the fact that your high priest might be in error and react emotionally. Besides, doesn't your religion also say that humans are evil and the cause of all problems? It is suitable they should be punished by loss of their cropland. See? I can quote your Holy book chapter and verse.
Whenever someone asks what drives this social justice thinking, I inevitably give them this talk by Evan Sayet entitled "Understanding How Modern Liberals Think". Evan also happens to be Jewish & grew up in New York as a liberal but eventually noticed some serious problems with the Left's way of thinking.
I can't do his talk justice, but essentially the premise is that the Left wants/believes in equality so badly that it ends up punishing those who've make correct decisions and supporting those who've made bad ones in order to reach equality of outcome.
Over the last few decades, as Western society has weakened, victimhood has become very powerful tool - because for some reason...people think that the weaker someone can claim to be, the more power we should hand them.
I love how whataboutism is used to gloss over the very real cultural destruction that the holy warriors of Islam visited on the nations and peoples they conquered.
Those poor Asians. They get discriminated against in university admissions with the blessing of the federal government and SJWs, and now they're not even included in discrimination lawsuits any more. In fact they're named right up with the evil white males as being part of the problem. I really feel for them, they have to work twice as hard for the same result that everyone else gets.
Geek culture in general and tech in particular are populated by white male reactionary bigot misogynist nazis. I have to ask, where have you been the last couple of years? This site has covered the topic extensively.
The problem is that when you give people this free stuff, they have absolutely zero gratitude for it. Because fuck you, that's why. In order for people to feel they own something, they have to work for it. Then they feel a sense of ownership. Give people something for free, and they abuse the shit out of it, because why not? Take, take, take and never give. The system only exists for them to exploit and the idea of contributing sounds absurd. They have no pride.
Why? What compelling interest do the American people have in a distant foreign country like Niger? I heard an elite talking head say they were "defending America". What a crock! They're not defending us at all, the elites are just playing World Police, which makes the world hate us even more. Boko Haram didn't come out of nowhere, they were born out of frustration that imperialism was fucking up their culture. USA out of Niger! Bring the troops home!
Will of the people? In government? You're joking, right?
Smoking was banned due to the hysteria surrounding secondhand smoke. Vaping? Gimme a break. This is just a government reaching for more control, because that's what government does. They have to justify their existence and expanding their budget.
Funny, when we had all the articles that mentioned Trump and Russia, those were important issues that needed to be discussed and transcended issues of tech. Now that we're talking about something inconvenient, politics suddenly needs to be banished.
When Bill Clinton received a $500,000 check from a Kremlin-linked bank in 2010 to give a speech in Moscow it served, to the FBI, as further evidence the Russians had unleashed an influence campaign designed to get access to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
FBI agents were 'surprised by the timing and size,' the Hill wrote, of Bill Clinton's half-million dollar speech, which has raised conflict-of-interest questions about Hillary Clinton, as the transaction occurred around the same time she was being asked to sign off on a uranium deal, which gave Russia 20 percent of the U.S.'s deposits.
'There is not one shred of doubt from the evidence that we had that the Russians had set their sights on Hillary Clinton's circle, because she was the quarterback of the Obama-Russian reset strategy and the assumed successor to Obama as president,' a source who knew of the FBI's evidence told the Hill.

Uber + SJW = Slashdot story.
Wait a minute, I thought you can't judge a religion by the actions of a small group? Or does that only apply to Islam?
I love how whataboutism is used to gloss over the very real cultural destruction that the holy warriors of Islam visited on the nations and peoples they conquered.

Islamic art is named because if Muslims draw a person they will be killed. Thus it's all geometric shapes and such.

When Nazis vote for you, it's hard to tell the difference.
Ah, the good old strawman argument, with America-shaming thrown in at the end for good measure. Triggered
