They're allegedly your fucking people, The Donald. You know, when you show utter disrespect for anyone who isn't halfway up your asshole, you can't really say much when people treat you the same way.

As fucking overwrought as that video was with all its slow zooms and blackouts and ominous music (way to keep it dispassionately professional), I'm just seeing a reckless dipshit playing with fire more than I do some sort of radicalized racist ideologue.

Yeah, I'm mystified by the defense I'm seeing for their wings, which in the two occasions I've been (neither were my choice, I promise!) were pretty soggy and disgusting.

No, I merely said that hitting people when it's not out of self-defense is the law, and a good law. If you have a problem with peaceful resistance, take it up with Gandhi and the Dalai Lama.

My point is you're a smug, argumentative bastard, and trying to deflect by calling me one is the height of hypocrisy. I reply in whatever tone is brought to me. You brought that tone, now deal with it.

Because one is words and one is actions. People say lots of shit. Don't listen to them. Demean their ideas. Shun them. But if you punch them, you've crossed a line and you should be charged with assault.

"You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the arguments being put forth."

Educate me then. What exactly am I confused about? That it's illegal to punch someone? That it's good that it's illegal to punch someone? Like I've now said three times, there are laws I disagree with, but this is not one of them. I like that it's illegal to punch someone who says shit you don't like. Because

Yes, I called you an anarchist is response to this:

Okay, I said earlier (to you) that I don't agree with every law. But there are some laws that seem pretty solid, and not punching people I don't agree with is one of them. Fine, you're all for the punchings. So vote for a pro-punching ticket, and campaign for the pro-punching agenda. Pretty soon you won't have to

I'm not protective of Nazis. I'm protective of the rule of law that says you don't punch people you don't agree with without repercussions. Great, some dipshit got punched in the face. I cry no tears for him. But I also don't think this constant 'rah rah' celebration and support of it is a good thing. Lots of

"Entail the necessity"? So you don't even have to advocate for violence per se, you just have to express ideas that someone could possibly extract violence acts from? No, you cannot punch them now. You can engage them in a spirited political debate however and feel confident that you have the winning argument.

Is it against the law to punch someone who is not attempting to assault you? Is that a law that most reasonable people can get behind? If you celebrate defiance of one of the core precepts, not just of democracy but any formal government structure, then yes, you are glorifying anarchy. I don't like this guy or what

Okay then. Meanwhile, you go sign up for the Thought Police and be ready to come out swinging the second somebody says something that hasn't been signed off on by Big Brother.

Fair enough, I will proudly wear my pussy hat then, and continue to think that it's better to engage in the discussion than throw fists. And maybe one day we can meet and you can punch me in the face for it.

We do have those boundaries. Like the boundary that says you can think and say what you want, but you cannot act violently on those thoughts or words. If you're afraid of rhetoric, then you'd better do a better job of expressing your arguments.

Do you think sucker punching a guy on the street does anything but make you feel good in sort of a revenge-y way? You ever come across a Westboro Baptist Church protest? Or even just a curbside preacher ranting about the evils of homosexuality? How many of them have you punched? Who's the pussy now? You go ahead

Alright, go for it. Good luck in prison.

This has nothing to do with "liberalism", it has to do with civility. There are lots of people who say lots of things I don't like, and things I think could be ultimately dangerous if taken to their logical extreme, like for instance, what you're saying. So I will argue with you about it, and I suspect I'll get

Yes, he's disappeared for a whole week. Racism has been solved, and all it took was a public assault.
