Liam Neeson: Rape, Revenge, and Race Relations

[Athene]

That I think SJWs are screechy nitwits, and would like them to stfu and listen to reason, is not the same thing as wanting them silenced.  The only consequence I have in mind for them is to tell  them what I think of their hysterical posturing.  The consequence they have in mind is often the loss of a position or the permanent destruction of someone's reputation.  It's mob rule, and it's ugly.

Understand the difference, here, because it's an important one.  It is my position that extremists on both wings, being the loudest, dominate the airspace, making rational conversation impossible.  I'd like the more rational leftists and rightists to dominate the air space.  I'd give Shell, for example, as an example of a person who will tolerate contrary positions, express her own concisely and (mostly) without insult, and will get listened to; with her quieter words, she has 1000x more chance of swaying my views on things than you do.

I'd categorize yours as being so excessively hostile and screechy that it's unlikely ever to persuade.

I'd categorize many of my own posts as being hostile, as well, because people don't like words like "screechy," and obviously I know that.  However, I consider myself left of center, and I think the hysterical left have damaged the brand so goddamned badly that they've spawned the orange-haired antichrist.

Seriously, if the goal of any particular subset of society had it as their goal to guarantee that the Dems never win an election again, it's the PC left.

What makes you think I'm attempting to win hearts and minds here?  

We may have similar political views but I have no interest in persuading you to become my "ally". An ally that demands my silence is not an ally at all, as far as I'm concerned. As I mentioned earlier in this thread; I don't believe that most adults are actually capable of divorcing themselves from their -isms, so I make no particular effort to sway folks like you to my side. 
I save my gentler, more persuasive tactics for when and where it's likely to make a difference. As for folks like you...brutal honesty, disdain and a touch of mockery here and there is about all you're going to get. As lost causes, you simply don't warrant more than that.


ETA: I capitalize a FEW words within my posts to place emphasis on those particular words, and I don't necessarily like the way they look of italics. If it was meant to denote yelling or screeching the MAJORITY of my post would be in all caps instead of the reverse. That nothing accusation is just you clinging to any excuse to dismiss any and all of my salient and reasonable points as "SJW screeching".

Pretty pathetic, IMO, but if it comforts you to pretend that I'm screaming at you, then oh well....Go for it.
