So you think that leftists only pay a lip service to equality? That is a valid criticism given by leftists themselves.

It is important to keep in mind it was the progressives, which includes liberals and leftists, who are the ones responsible for desegregation and just about every other social justice issue in our modern times.

They did not do it by force either. They convinced people and used their social currency to cause voluntary change in the hearts and minds of people as well as policies in the government.

In the US, trying to lay the blame on them for family separation and caging children is pretty far fetched. Did they play some small part in it? Probably.

It was not their policy and to be frank they would have never had to take a centrist position if the conservatives did not try to make it into a political issue in the first place. Conservatives have used their grievance culture of hate to turn people against each other for far too long.

So Kwane Ture’s biggest criticism is the liberals don’t try hard enough? That because they don’t tear the institution down they are just as bad as the oppressors. That because they see it is wrong and try to make a change that they are actually taking power away from the oppressed.

This is all a common criticism in the vein of Malcom X and many before and after him. It of course ignores that the progressives are actually made up from the oppressed. That everything we consider part of what makes life livable nowadays is because of progressives.

We would already have cheap or universal healthcare, equality of the sexes, elimination of discrimination, reformation of policing, living wages, free education, and a slew of other amenities if the conservatives did not decide to turn all these issues partisan.

The fact that the Democratic party marched to the right is the response of 60+ years of hateful propaganda spewed from the conservatives to divide our populace. They are the ones responsible for dragging the country right.

Having said all that I do agree with his sentiment. The progressives have grown complacent. We still don’t have a equal rights amendment added to our constitution. We won’t protect the rights of 50% of our society. As a man with four daughters it is very disheartening.

Sooooo… A task force of racists?

You have some interesting beliefs for sure.

Liberals who are most often defined by equality typically align with the so-called left. Although it is important to point out what country you are from can drastically alter this perception. I was born and raised in North America.

The right which is often synonymous with conservatives have pushed back against racial and gender equality. They believe in rigid hierarchies keeping control through rules that bind others but not themselves.

I get the feeling you probably believe in a lot of right wing propaganda. Hence the whole inflicting moral outrage on others being such a boogey man. It really isn’t as conservatives have no problem ignoring it.

Detailed records showing Trump sitting on Twatter all day and watching Faux Newz.

It leaves little doubt he helped orchestrate it instead of just passively watching.

It blows the whole “he transferred peacefully” out of the water.

It also makes it clear he knew he lost and lied about everything.

Something worse probably and I am an optimist.

Just to be clear you are an unbelievably toxic troll. Everyone was right about you. I really tried to give you the benefit of the doubt.

This is not a government run website, you have no rights. You are incapable of self reflection which is bizarre considering your username.

I will call you out for being a troll because it is the unfortunate truth. Peace be with you.

“I’ll keep posting what I want, when I want, where I want, and respond to people how I want. Whether it is “working” or not. Thank you!”

You keep confirming you are a troll, time and time again.

My advice would be to only discuss the points of the article and stop trying to defend yourself in such a ridiculous manner. You don’t need to at all honestly and at this point it only further solidifies people’s perception of you.

You can only control yourself and pointing your finger at everyone else is never a good look.

Surely you can see what you have been doing is not working. Try something else.

This was a discussion about you behavior. You did not address this behavior in your post.

The links are okay, but your responses are ridiculous just like the one here. The passive aggressiveness is palpable.

The constant need to disproportionally defend yourself definitely is trollish.

If you wish to address this fine. Otherwise there is not much else to say. I wish you good luck in the future and do hope you will change.

These are pretty much my thoughts as well.

Makes perfect sense about the links. Now their conduct of being defensive/borderline trolling in all the responses is not okay.

Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Try harder please. I have read several articles posted by OP. They clearly have an agenda and have engaged in a lot of trolling behavior.

So the question is having an active troll/propagandist really good for the community. Maybe you could argue that they generate engagement or that we need to protect people’s right to disagree.

The community should carefully weigh this moving forward. If accounts that act like bots are allowed then this place will follow in the footsteps of Digg or Reddit.

Personally, I would have already set them straight as a moderator. I have never been impressed by edgy people who add very little to the conversation.

It is clear they should be banned already.

I think it does bring up some larger issues though. Like should limits be placed on accounts. Do we really want users like this? Are they adding to the experience?

His campaign should continue highlight how much we were lied to about Biden’s mental health. It is hilarious to hear them beat that drum when they are not even running against Biden anymore and Trump is the only deranged old man running now.

This is a nonstarter because there is a quarter pound of salt in every gallon of salt water. A small town of 50k would easily produce close to a million pounds of salt a day. Now try to scale that up to 20 million people in LA for instance.

Yes, a bunch of had to evacuate their homes. This is why the government has come down so hard on them. Disproportionate? Sure, but then the government has never been known for their reasonableness

I think we can pretty much agree on this.

You act like it is the Democratic parties responsibility to inoculate against all the problems the Republicans created.

The conservatives lost because the Democratic Party did their policies better than they could. They moved to the right and instead of trying to counter them the conservatives just went off the deep end.

I don’t feel sorry for them nor do I applaud the direction the Democratic party went.

The Democratic party should play to these young men’s insecurities, lie to them, and turn them against society am I right?

This is propaganda, psychological manipulation that the conservatives are using. Fear following into hate is a very effective tactic.

There is no effective counter because now you have to convince a incel they are wrong. People believe what they hear especially if you are using the best of psychology to fuck with them.

This is a dumb take. The artist doesn’t listen to the clay when he molds it. This is not about listening. It is about telling.

Impressionable young men being propagandized to. Manipulated to be political about topics they don’t understand.

Being fed lies that will hurt them and everyone around them the rest of their lives so someone can get their money and their votes.

They are not tapping these young men’s reality. They are creating it.
