I’m not sure what you mean by “read things personally”. I can say that, yes, I don’t have other people read things for me.

I didn’t say any of that. Is that the only way you can justify your beliefs? By telling others what they think and phrasing it in the most racist and misogynistic way possible?

I don’t think that you have to be a progressive/leftist to be glad to see these two people go down. I’m much more towards the opposite side of the political spectrum and I’m happy to see these guys get convicted of these financial crimes. Good riddance. Unfortunately, it took a Special Prosecutor to do it and there…

Yeah I like Floyd’s version better - it has that emotional damage overtone that so many can relate to. I don’t really understand the “We’re all Human Beings” point either.

If Kevin Spacey’s movie had been at a theater near me, I would have gone to see it. He’s a great actor and I’ve enjoyed a lot of his movies.

Every time I hear someone try to justify the violence put forth by antifa (and others) at these counter-protests it goes back to the 2017 Charlottesville murder. Yes, that was horrific, but it can’t serve as justification for blanket violence by other groups for eternity. Simply wearing a MAGA hat now seems to serve…

There is a certain mental model that requires extreme distortion of facts to preserve a deeply flawed hypothesis so as to not question one’s own irrational, personal biases.

So you’re saying that cops are pro-white supremacy?

Are we suggesting that these idiot white supremacists are the same threat as the Nazi’s were because they share the same ideals? If so, then are we suggesting that antifa, BLM, etc. need to implement the same solution that the Allies did in WW2?

You’re assigning cause and effect to predict the future in a questionable way. If these guys went out and rioted all of the time, they would have trouble pulling permits for their demonstrations and they would be the ones in scuffles with law enforcement. In other words, the problem would solve itself instead of…

I get stuck on this line:

There seems to be a lot of hate on both sides of the political spectrum, with the media and politicians doing their best to fuel it. If you stand back and look at the optics of this objectively though, it positions the political Left in a worse position: You get a couple of dozen idiots that show up and march, but…

Why do we give these idiots any attention? There was what? A couple of dozen of them? Who gives a shit? Just ignoring them would make them look like an even bigger joke than they are. Instead, Antifa feels the need to show up and riot against the cops. In the end, the idiot white supremacist assholes end up looking…

yup

Here and there and everywhere, explicit violent threats against members of the media are on the rise.

But for a country that has never faced real consequences for their role in terrorism, and who more than anyone are the direct cause of the 9/11 attacks, it’s probably best to avoid images of airplanes and skylines altogether.

Well we’re talking about buying a car here; not a statue of Steve McQueen.

The tweets were not racist; they were jokes about white people, which is a different thing that is not racism.
