Dammit, what happened to the Ameripol thread?
HEY PEOPLE, NEONIVEK WANTS TO KNOW HOW MANY HAVE BLOCKED HIM! SOUND OFF!At the risk of sounding like an idiot: Where moderation logs?
Quick Edit: Pfft. Look at the newest moderation log.
Ooh! I could block you! You want me to?! I'll do it if you ask!
I'm pretty sure people use the block function much less than you think. I've never used it for example.
, I am probably the most blocked non-troll right now.I've been on forums with strong "no-politics" policies. Too bad toady doesn't have that here...
I can't help looking in here occasionally, and I almost never see anything good.
Lets cool this before someone gets banned or the thread locked. also people really need to just stop using the vague "left and right" they don't mean anything as they are too vague as terms for groups.
Pretty much each and every single most you made in the last few months has been about Trumo getting a bad rap, or neonazis getting vilified, etc..
Sort of. They are also the loudest proponents FOR bigotry.
Ugh... I'm done. You have completely and utterly lost me.
Neo, he was found guilty of everything from racial profiling to the deaths of inmates resulting from his prison conditions. In court. He proudly takes responsibility for these things, he just doesn't accept that he did anything wrong. These things are publicly documented, go look them up. Everyone here already has.
Ok, and that conjured literal nazis up on the streets of Charlottesville?
Both Bernie Sanders AND Hillary Clinton Sang the "Racism, Sexisms, Homophobia" song... So this environment is COMPLETELY 100% created by the Left... They are now living in the world they created...
Wait, what?...
You will have to explain this much better, because I can only interpret this as a claim that the reason we have bigots marching on our streets now, openly and proudly proclaiming bigotry, is because the left is opposed to bigotry.
the left is opposed to bigotry
Do you not see any problem with looking at the actions they committed and saying "what they believed didn't matter, only what they did"? Or in particular, coming in to a discussion and demanding we don't consider their beliefs but only their crimes in isolation? They acted because of what they believed in.
And, in the case of an elected official, they acted in ways designed to increase their odds of getting reelected. Arpaio was a racist tyrant, but he was specifically a Republican racist tyrant who made his inmates wear pink underwear and live in terrifying conditions partially because it polled well.
Somebody gets hit with a bike lock, and everyone remotely associated with the political concept of "the left" has to walk on eggshells for months to not be characterized as out of control violent with hunt mobs.
Are you actually saying that whether or not the left is properly treated over things like that bike lock are somehow on par with, and therefore have bearing on the things that Joe Arpaio did?
Being ok with pardoning Joe Arpaio is like being ok with pardoning Al Capone for tax evasion because hey, no one can prove he's a murderous crime lord.
Except we can absolutely prove that Joe Arpaio was a horrific tyrant who broke the law on the regular
It's because you don't apply this attitude consistently. Your inconsistencies follow a trend. It's hard for this to go on for so long without people eventually interpreting it as a preference.
Because if I know something, I typically don't ask questions.
But then how do you know you know something, Neo? If you only verify things you don't initially believe, you run the risk of a lot of false positives.
