#Tolerance of the #Left…

callmesnake72-deactivated202407

Sadly, this is completely accurate.

progressivefuture-blog

Because the left is defending himself from the hatred and violence of the rights words.

It’s amazing that gun fuckers don’t believe in self defense when someone doesn’t use a gun to do it.

Words are violence. The progressive world understands this. Only backwards people do not.

WORDS ARE VIOLENCE

“Violence of the rights words”

“violence of words”

They are not even pretending the comic isn’t true, look at this exchange I just had.

Stop validating sterotypes, people!

I like the part where PF linked to the laughingstock of a UN report. Even the target audience pretends it doesn’t exist.

reasonandempathy

I hate being the “both sides do it” guy, but give me a break.

Only the left gets into fits of rage and irrationality?

Come on. Don’t be so dense. Don’t pretend your own bullshit doesn’t exist.

siryouarebeingmocked

I think it’s more about committing violence in lieu of counterargument, which, currently, is the domain of the American left.

I like how “arson, mass assault of peaceful people, and widespread Nazi hysteria bordering on McCarthyism” became “fits of rage and irrationality”, as if its just people posting angry tumblr rants or throwing a tantrum in public.

reasonandempathy

Arson

Mass Assault of peaceful people

In 2015, U.S. abortion providers were targeted in three murders, nine attempted murders, and 94 reports of death threats. The numbers briefly “leveled out” in 2016, said NAF President Vickie Saporta, but they’re still higher than they’ve been since the ‘90s. And, according to Saporta, violent sentiments began to cycle upward again after the election of President Trump.

widespread Nazi hysteria bordering on McCarthyism

Are you serious?

Right-wingers don’t fear-monger about dictatorial takeovers?

They actively told people Democrats are going to kill your grandparents

And they’re doing it again

Not to mention McCarthyism is literally a product of the right-wing.

“I mean, it’s not like right-wingers are acting like right-wingers have in generations past.

Let’s not forget the Patriot Act while we’re at it.

became “fits of rage and irrationality”, as if its just people posting angry tumblr rants or throwing a tantrum in public.

I was minimizing both sides you dolt.

hominishostilis

So let me get this straight, lmao

You think that because in the past, people associated (and people like the WBC, who do it for profit and were founded by …a democrat) with the right have attacked abortion clinics have done this crap, that’s somehow a “gotcha” to pointing out this bullshit now??

Then link to, respectively, a legit argument concerning tighter and tighter gun laws implemented by the Obama administration, people concerned about a FEMA camp - “Trump’s gonna round up all the gays and kill them!!!”, and then you cite SARA PALIN of all people to “prove” the general right is telling people they’re gonna be subject to triage?? I brought up McCarthyism for a very specific reason, and yet you still managed to miss it and then spell it out for yourself like its a “gotcha” - funny, that. I mean, I went out of my way to specifically acknowledge that extremism in hysteria has existed on the right in the past, and somehow you missed it. The point was that it was DAMAGING, you idiot.

Can you show me where I, since you chose to respond to ME, said anything about people on the right being completely innocent of these actions? Or was I just pointing out that you only “minimized both sides” in order to be the guy who “points out” slightly comparable instances have happened “on both sides”.

Nah, you’re just waving a red herring around as a) if both aren’t equally bad and b) The Patriot Act wasn’t upheld and actively used by Obama throughout his ENTIRE two term presidency in order to spy on citizens and drone bomb people without trial.

Don’t pretend you’re some kind of impartial voice of reason, you’re as biased as they come you jackass

reasonandempathy

I’m sorry, 2015 is too far in the past to be relevant? This isn’t some “oh in the 90s” piece. This has been increasing significantly in the past two years.

Then link to, respectively, a legit argument concerning tighter and tighter gun laws implemented by the Obama administration

He hasn’t done that. Sources 1, 2, and 3

people concerned about a FEMA camp

Yeah, it’s fucking ridiculous to think of, isn’t it. But that’s been a right-wing fear-mongering piece of crap for years now.

and then you cite SARA PALIN of all people to “prove” the general right is telling people they’re gonna be subject to triage??

Not triage, death panels. That when you hit (I think 70) you’ll be put before a panel of judges and your medical treatments will be decided by them, not your doctor.

Sarah Palin, you mean the VP-pick from McCain, who was running in 2012? Who had a paid gig as a commentator on Fox News? Not an establishment-republican figure? She was supported by a whole fucking slew of republicans:

Newt Gingrich, Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, and others all backed it. 30% of people thought it was true.

Death panels are still being brought up today. By sitting republicans. Literally over the weekend.

How about four days ago where congressional republicans were trying to use Death Panels as a reason to get rid of Obamacare? Sitting republican representatives in Congress. Today.

Or was I just pointing out that you only “minimized both sides” in order to be the guy who “points out” slightly comparable instances have happened “on both sides”

“slightly comparable instances”?

I literally went point for point and detailed explicit examples of right-wingers doing exactly what you brought up. Arson, assaulting innocent people en masse, and fearmongering. I could even bring in fear-mongering explicitly from the right-wing and quote Wayne LaPierre calling out about “jack-booted government thugs“ wearing “ Nazi bucket helmets and black storm trooper uniforms“.

I mean, I went out of my way to specifically acknowledge that extremism in hysteria has existed on the right in the past, and somehow you missed it. The point was that it was DAMAGING, you idiot.

You did no such thing.

a) if both aren’t equally bad and b) The Patriot Act wasn’t upheld and actively used by Obama throughout his ENTIRE two term presidency in order to spy on citizens and drone bomb people without trial.

Look up. Scroll up.

Where in this entire chain did I say the Left is innocent?

Compare that to:

I think it’s more about committing violence in lieu of counterargument, which, currently, is the domain of the American left.

They are not even pretending the comic isn’t true

Sadly, this is completely accurate.

#Tolerance of the #Left…

Yeah, in a thread where almost everyone is in a circle-jerk to say that the political left is a stark-raving mad collection of fools, while the right is calm, collected, and completely mature, it needs to be pointed out, explicitly, how wrong that characterization of the right is.

And you trying to dismiss and trivialize that with a pithy and shallow retort is nothing more than a poor attempt to write off that critique, and your “well, you responded to me” line is a sack as useless as a phantom limb.

You replied to what I was saying. Except you didn’t even @ me so you were hoping I just wouldn’t have seen it at all.

But no. You’re done here. Move along, you two-faced waste.

Even as the ink is drying on his "Conflicts Plan," did Trump's business interests affect the scope of his refugee order?

It may have been.

He’s adamantly refusing to follow Federal Court injunctions.

That is most definitely an impeachable offense.

It’s been one full week of his presidency and we’ve already had two Constitutional Crises (this and the emoluments clause). Keep track of them.

frostmagic-ed-blog

I just want to throw the opinion out there that impeaching him at this moment isn’t a great idea.

I’m fearful of what Pence would do with LGBT rights, mostly.

reasonandempathy

Honestly?

It’s a choice between LGBT rights and the continued adherence to the Checks and Balances system of government of the U.S. where the Executive Branch actually listens to the Courts. Last time that happened (off the top of my head) the Trail of Tears was the result. This time the Executive Branch is ignoring the courts over executive orders, it’ll only ever get worse.

And the LGBT community has a much stronger lobbying and resistance arm on both sides of the aisle than the Muslim, Immigrant, Indigenous Peoples, and other at-risk populations.

frostmagic-ed-blog

I mean, I get you. I’m on mobile at the moment so I can’t easily source the stuff, but theres a whole slew of pence acts that show he doesn’t give two shits about lobbiests.

I don’t know if it’s the inner coward in me but I’m of the mind set that after his first 100 days we are going to have 600 (ish) days of mediocrity from Washington, then everyone is going to turn up in RECORD numbers and vote blue for congressional positions.

reasonandempathy

Oh, trust me, I know about Mike Pence. He’s an absolute shitshow for LGBT rights and on abortion. It doesn’t need to be clarified.

And it isn’t as though counter-presidential swings are uncommon in off-year elections. The country is going to swing back after the ridiculousness of Trump and Pence regardless of what happens, and pence is seemingly less likely to kill America in the process.

mr-cappadocia

There's a huge difference between rebelling against an oppressive establishment, as in 1984, and preaching ethnic cleansing and the superiority of the Aryan race. If you really think white supremacists should be treated as harmless until the non-whites start getting killed then you have learned nothing from history. Please stop misusing the term "thoughtcrime."

There’s a big difference between hateful rhetoric and engaging in literal violence against… whomever?

You don’t fucking say?

See, the danger in your position, and I don’t think I can stress this enough, is that whomever you decry as “oppressor” suddenly can be punished mercilessly, brutally, horrifically without fear of moral repercussions.

Haven’t you ever asked yourself WHY Nazis could look at something like this:

and feel nothing? Not compassion, nor pity, nor remorse? Hasn’t that ever struck you as… bizarre?

It’s because the German citizen was trained to view the Jew as their oppressor. The shifty Jew who controlled the banks and sat in privileged positions of power.

This was how the German convinced themselves they were owed a pound of flesh.

When the Communists murdered five million of their own upper middle class what do you think the justification was? That they were oppressors. Literally they labeled them, and I’m not making this, “The Tightfisted”.

“bloodsuckers, vampires, plunderers of the people and profiteers, who fatten on famine.” Stalin describing the Kulaks.

You’re being manipulated into labeling a group of people “The Oppressor” to justify the truly heinous shit that’s to come. Like the Nazi, and the Communist, and all the rest you’re no really different from, you’re following the same timeline, you’re just earlier on it.

Wake up.

roninart-tactical

^^^^^^^

100% correct!!!

down-w-hate

Wait [EDIT] Nazis saw Jews as their oppressors..? I didn’t know that. Huh.

kittyinhighheels

That’s not true what the hell

The whole ideology was that Jews were LESS than Germans and therefore had no right to live in our “Aryan” country. They saw them as stealing thugs.

mr-cappadocia

They called them the November Criminals… Jews in power (among others) who had subverted, betrayed, and destroyed the German people.

You’ll see this dual nature of the “inferior powerful” in lots of propaganda. According to Nazi propaganda Jews didn’t become powerful economically through good choices, or business acumen… but from being ethically and spiritually bankrupt as a people. Thus placing these inferior people in power over a German people the Nazis claimed the Jews betrayed and used and took advantage of.

matt-ruins-your-shit

“That’s not true.” cries the person who has never read nazi propaganda and desperately wishes to ignore the parallels to their own ways of thinking. Simply believing you are superior doesn’t breed hatred, we believe we are superior to dogs and yet we love dogs more then people sometimes. The reason Germans were so convinced of their moral justification for hatred of the jews was because they were trained to believed the jews oppressed them. It wasn’t just nazi soldiers following orders, average citizens women and even their children would hurl rocks and spit at them as they were being rounded up and shipped off to camps. All because they were viewed as the privileged oppressors, if you change jew to white/male it wont just sound like nazi propaganda it will be nazi propaganda. You don’t even need to speak the language to understand what these posters are trying to convey.

reasonandempathy

Two things:

1) Nazis didn’t do that. At least, not your standard Nazis.

In the beginning of the war SS officers and troops were the ones used to just make mass graves. These were SS officers and soldiers, the most desensitized and violent members of the Third Reich, and they couldn’t handle it. Large Swaths of them developed what we believe to be PTSD (called “war neurotics”) and couldn’t just kill every Jew they came across. The human body and brain are just immeasurably geared against it. There’s a litany of academic sources that demonstrate this, and Nazis were, while more willing to kill than the general population (especially members of the Hitler Youth), hardly immune to this.

2) White Supremacy and white supremacists aren’t just some idea, the equivalent of any other. There were people in Nazi Germany and the Weimar Republic who, just as people are doing today, denounced and showed the flaws and holes in Nazi and White Supremacist ideology. The arguments they used are the same arguments that exist today; they are important and they are attestations to the core liberal values that unite and define Modern Western Society.

Fascism doesn’t make an argument. It’s not ideas that form a coherent and logically sound argument; it’s a collection of promises meant to coddle the afraid. You don’t try to stop a fire by yelling at it; you don’t try to calm a madman by logically pointing out that dragons with acid breath don’t exist.

It is something that exists on an emotional level, with no internal consistency other than “those people are hurting you, let me save you.”

To break them you need to remove the pain; to address the economic (and it’s always economic) suffering that their target audience is going through. You also need to crush the messenger.

The form of white supremacy we’re engaging against was designed to be this way.

It belongs in the Free Marketplace of Ideas just as much as the molotov cocktails belonged in the buses of the Freedom Riders.

These Women’s March rallies are massive. That’s trouble for Donald Trump and the GOP.

The fact that these gigantic anti-Trump protests are taking place on Trump’s first full day as president — far sooner than the Tea Party galvanized anti-Obama protesters — is troublesome for Republican prospects for the 2018 midterm elections.

The immense opposition to Trump at the outset of his presidency is a warning for Republicans on their quest to implement Trump’s agenda, including building a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border and cutting Affordable Care Act provisions. Read more
