Re: MAGA rioters storm the Senate
OMG, are we about to question Admiral X's ethnic background again?
If so, then maybe I should just refuse to, say, take Fuzzy Necromancer's claims at face value that that user was just peacefully protesting. Or that Dragon Ball Fan has a cop relative.
Because you see once we fall down that rabbit hole, how easy it is to never trust anything?
All those aforementioned, I do believe in, BTW.

Re: MAGA rioters storm the Senate
I don't think that's what's going on here; I think X was using 'tribe' colliqually, i.e. Democrats. And well Best is arguing that talking about the anti-police thing is irrelevant and derailing.Captain Crimson wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:28 pm OMG, are we about to question Admiral X's ethnic background again?

That is correct TGLS.

Re: MAGA rioters storm the Senate
FWIW, I sure didn't take it that way either. I am indeed referring to political tribes as it applies here.

You can't be serious.
You need to learn that you are not the center of the universe.

So, I should just ignore the psychos within BLM until they hunt down and murder my whole family either for being cops or being related to cops?Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 1:49 amI'm going to tell you something my father told me.Dragon Ball Fan wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 10:45 pmWhy do you pretend protestors who made death threats to my family, on the virtue of them being directed at any and all police officers, don't exist?Draco Dracul wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 10:30 pmThe funny thing is that not only are you trying to equate the attempted murder of potentially hundreds of elected officials with vandalism and looting, we have significant evidence that much of the vandalism and looting during the BLM protests was instigated by right wing agitators.Admiral X wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 9:26 pmAnd yet another example of how you ignore wrongdoing on the part of your tribe while trying to highlight the wrongdoing of another.Draco Dracul wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 9:09 pm So we have one group of people that protested decades of police brutality and systemic racism, and another group of people that set up a gallows, stormed the Capitol Building, and chanted "Hang Mike Pence" and it's the former group that are brownshirts?I am very serious.The funny thing about Trump and the media is that they spent the better part of the last 5 years treating him with kid's gloves,

You need to learn how to discuss and contemplate other people's problems without bringing up your problems as a Gotcha. It's part of being a decent human in a functioning society.
