You dont make yourself very clear at all you just argue for the sake of arguing - your logic itself is entirely inconsistent you seem to just justify whatever you feel like under the guise of you being open mindedSorry your having a hard time interpreting my posts correctly. I don't understand why you think I'm being inconsistent, but I will attempt deliver my message in a more simple approach:
That's a poor argument and you know it. There is no "they," it's you and me. We make the rules, or at least, we used to. If we're not going to stand up for anything, that's how con-men like Annoying Orange get into power and erode our democracy like this.We are a democratic republic - and we do make the rules, to a certain degree. If you vote someone into a position of power and they abuse it, you have to vote them out. That's how it's supposed to be, and for most state & local level government this remains true. However, the modern federal government system pretty much does whatever the hell they want because it's grown out of control. Big federal government is exactly what the founding fathers were worried about and why they wrote the constitution to protect our rights. This brings to mind one of Charlie Kirk's speeches, where he talked about the second amendment and why it was put there - which is so that citizens should be able to protect themselves against the government and any other threat to their wellbeing or personal freedom.

Oh that happened to me too, it's just forum jank, remove any special characters and make sure everything is web safe. It's usually quotation marks and em dashes the forum can't stand

The founders put the first amendment into place exactly because of issues like this. The crown controlled printing, if you said something in a pamphlet criticizing the king you had your printing license revoked and were charged with libel.
The president also stated that he believes he should be able to pull networks' licenses if they air overwhelmingly negative coverage of him - rhetoric that even Republican Senator Ted Cruz called "dangerous as hell" and compared to "mafioso" tactics.
all anyone had to do was not be nasty about their ideas. as of now we've gotten to a point where everyones going to be nasty about their ideas and throw around nasty words to each other. but in 2015-16. when people were bringing up gamergate or the immigration crCIA in europe or even something as crazy as pizzagate. if we could have had a normal conversation about it instead of being called national socialists or white supremacists or tribals or conspiracy theorists or whatever ist or ism, this wouldn't be happening right now.
they still do it to this day. why bring up a white guy specifically? why national socialist stuff? this charged language has been a thing since 2015 and is exactly the kind of thing that has forgeted all of this up. i was willing to have a conversation until i was deemed an enemy simply because im white and i dont care.
i feel like you're imagining the absolute worse case scenario which would be me just going around and saying nasty words to people because i can, which couldn't be farther from the truth. all i was advocating for is that people have the right to say this stuff if they want. im not an idiot. i know how to treat people with respect and not make their lives a living hell. i wouldn't have the relationships i have or the jobs ive had if i was some spiteful evil person.
i just think basing your interactions with people of color based off these factors is weird. respect their culture and their history (obviously) but these people aren't untouchable. its okay to forget with each other every now and then if you like and respect each other

whatever rule they want because it's the government and they make the rules. I don't like it anymore than you do but that's just how it is
what you're doing is okay, but it's not, and shouldn't be, out of respect for those people, their culture, and history, that we white people do not have in commoni feel like you're imagining the absolute worse case scenario which would be me just going around and saying nasty words to people because i can, which couldn't be farther from the truth. all i was advocating for is that people have the right to say this stuff if they want to. im not an idiot. i know how to treat people with respect and not make their lives a living hell. i wouldn't have the relationships i have or the jobs ive had if i was some spiteful evil person.
