A swing and a miss, mate. It's totally different in person. Usually actually quite cordial. I wouldn't have the career I do otherwise. The internet is where my shadow plays most often, and it's because everyone else's shadow is just so rampant and out of control... plenty of energy to dance with.

I prefer not to have to live two lives, but you do you mate.

Oh I'm hard pressed to believe you're this much of a dick in person, but I mean nobody bats 1000.

When I lived in western Colorado I asked a local buddy why there was a church on literally every corner and he said it was to make sure there weren't any corners left for Mormons, lol

Boomerang result. (Link below.) If the left had condemned the violence against Kirk alongside MAGA, this wouldn't be happening. The public assassination of someone who was only exercising their freedom of speech should be a non-partisan issue, but leftists went and screwed it all up again.

It's amazing how many people are turning back to Christianity or discovering it for the first time because it's become the cultural alternative to celebrating the death of someone like Charlie Kirk. I'm immune to falling into it, but even I feel the pull for solidarity that is happening right now and sweeping across the nation.

It's amazing... how MAGA keeps growing more because the (far) left has just become so shitty and brainless on how they approach these issues and not really because MAGA has anything new to offer they haven't been preaching for years already.

its crazy how obsessed racist maga is with george floyd, and how insistent you personally are in conflating the two events, the public reactions, and the aftermath.

you're an intellectually dishonest person, people can see that, and it severely undercuts your desire to change minds and be taken seriously.

How are you gauging "global attention"? Share your metric please.

I'll concede that you are correct here, in that left-wing extremism engages in far more property destruction than any other political ideology. But when it comes to violent attacks on humans? Right-wing extremism commits the majority of ideologically-motivated violence.

Since I'm sure you didn't intentionally avoid my posts subject matter, here's a link to my post that referenced a study on ideological violence: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/29342106#29342106

I obliterated his argument earlier with a thorough six point take down and the only thing he could muster in retort was restating the same thing I just logically dismantled. He appears to have an entirely undeserved opinion of himself and his abilities. It would be laughable if not for much of the MAGAs  being similarly level-capped and in sufficient numbers to exert undue influence (along with the underhanded techniques) over our political system.

I am curious as to what happened to these internet raised kids that so severely stunted their ability for discernment and the resultant susceptibility to manipulation. Do they not teach kids how to properly evaluate the validity of ideas anymore? I also wonder if gamer culture (concurrently with trolling braggadocio of social media) warped their sense of confidence and assessing their own abilities.
