But here's the issue. The hate comes from Perception. And you can't do anything about that.To be fair, he's not necessarily. He might just hate us all so much he wants to annoy us irrespective of what he's actually arguing. Of course, what tends to happen is that doing so genuinely radicalises. People start trying to merely aggravate other users or playing devil's advocate with no investment, but they end up increasingly believing in their argument.
Although I think you have to get the mindset of some people. Houseman posted a cartoon which I think sums up how many conservatives - and possibly Houseman himself - views lefties. There's a nice, neat, respectable MAGA-hatted, cleanly shaven man calmly drinking coffee being raged at by a scatty girl in what a conservative might call slutty clothes, with messy hair and ripped tights.
They think progressives are scum. Chaotic, messy, disreputable, irresponsible, hysterical scum who upset their nice, orderly world. They are disgusted by progressives, and disgust is a very powerful emotion. That I suspect is why AOC dresses with near-military orderliness: because she needs to visibly show she is not the rabble that they want to think she is. When they storm the capital, that's not a mob, that is them protecting themselves from you. They are the people of law and order, and they are still the people of law and order even when they break the law and cause disorder, because that's the only way to protect REAL law and order from progressives.
The way Italy dealt with MussoliniWe're talking about deprogramming for simply millions of people. How does one even begin tackling that?
You want him to become a Martyred Saint? Better to have the legal system show evidence of all of his crimes and have him pay for it.The way Italy dealt with Mussolini
It isn't a lie. A person did get shot. We have video of it. That person is dead.We have members who continue to push the lies that got a person shot today.
Reread thatIt isn't a lie. A person did get shot. We have video of it. That person is dead.
YesShould we be reporting Houseman here? I mean, I'm pretty sure that open support of terrorism should get you in some trouble with the TOS. Would the Escapist be okay if I was openly pro-ISIS for example?
You have said that you do things to get reactions out of people
Maybe because in just about every thread you post in, you do the same damn thing.What? No I don't, why would you think that?
Better report BLM supporters, too. They've done way worse.
Bunch of snowflakes. "Very nice people".So, this is fun, it looks like trumps manic tweets have gotten a bunch of his supporters to storm congress, stopping the counting of electoral ballets.
Trump summoned supporters to "wild" protest, and told them to fight. They did
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The chaos in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday unfolded after President Donald Trump spent weeks whipping up his supporters with false allegations of fraud in the Nov. 3 election, culminating in a call to march to the building that represents U.S. democracy.www.reuters.com
Sounds like the members of congress are hunkering down in their offices since no one has any idea the motives and potential weapons these people have but the DC mayor has issued a 6pm curfew and it sounds like the national guard might be on the way.
Pretty much. Also the woman who was shot has died so now there is a body count. We shall see how things develop now that the curfew is in effect. I'll bet most of these people will disperse and there will be nothing tomorrow, but we will probably see something else like this on inauguration day.Bunch of snowflakes. "Very nice people".
You could just block me, and then you wouldn't be able to see my posts unless you click a button. I wouldn't want to stop you from enjoying this site.In any case, to everyone else, I'm going back to my self-imposed vacation / exile. Just reading this one thread raised my blood pressure by a significant amount, and I don't need that in my life.
To any of y'all who have me on steam or discord or whatever, DO let me know if Houseman ever leaves the site for good, otherwise I'm unlikely to stick my head back in again.
No. Blm never stormed congress.Better report BLM supporters, too. They've done way worse.
They did burn down a precinct, and other residential and government buildings, as well as cars and other things.No. Blm never stormed congress.
