The point was that you find the threat and actual use of violence to push an agenda acceptable--so long as your commie buddies are the ones cracking heads.
You have no issue with using intimidation to get a point across. So yeah, I find it funny that you would sit here and pretend that you do in your attempt vilify ALL the protesters demonstrating nationwide due to a fraction of them exercising their 2nd Amendment rights--None of whom have shot or aimed a gun at anyone, to my knowledge.
I'm not of the mind to dismiss and/or condemn protesters' legitimate economic and civil grievances just because some of them are open-carrying or because their racism isn't as refined as the Left's.There's a bigger picture to consider here.
The Left has gone too far, and is using senseless charges of racism to dissuade anyone from challenging or questioning the Safe at Home narrative and to accept a "new normal" of total dependency and being controlled without making a peep.It's disgusting, despicable, exploitative as hell, and I resent the fuck out of it as a Black person AND as a fucking American.
Concern over the the suspension of civil liberties and the mass suffering, hardship, and death that WILL result from an impending economic crisis is not intrinsically racist, nor is it trivial. Lives are indeed at stake on both sides of this equation and "We the People" have a duty to remind governors of that every day so long as they're sending the message that such matters are inconsequential in the face of this virus--Nothing could be further from the truth.
The longer these lockdowns continue (particularly if continued without clear justification),the more it will become clear to ordinary people that their lives stand to be irretrievably decimated in the Dem's game of political one-upmanship. They won't give two fucks if dreadful, two-bit POS liberals like you are blaring the "Wacist!" trumpet--and they will resist.
NOTE: This forum has rules, so you should care about quoting members accurately. See #18.
Your "renegade" quoting style of deleting usernames from your responses fails to alert member that they are being addressed by you, and you're reproducing members' content without giving proper credit/citing your source.
That last bit is a VERY good point. I know I’ve occasionally left a member’s name out of a quote for various reasons, and I can see how it might fall into the ‘quoting others inaccurately’ prohibition.
I’ll try to bring it up with the Admins for a definitive ruling (but don’t hold your breath - visits by those people are as rare as pandas).
Thanks for pointing it out.
