POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD

[Tactical Nuke]

hey politically speaking if your end goal isn't the eradication of human suffering (or as close as you can get) then what exactly is the point

to gain power? authoritarianism is a thing, you know

[Ad Bot]

[Drydess]

it's generally agreed upon on the right that punching people over their politics is evil, as is shutting down people for their politics

you'll definitely see more people on the left doing what I described than on the right

politics are a reflection of your ethical values. sorry but richard spencer deserved a punch in the face regardless of whether it was the right thing to do

the problem there is who decides what are good and bad ethical values?

that's what Charlottesville was

Is there any kind of objective method to get to this point? What happens when there's a shift in mainstream political opinion and you become the target of "the right thing to do"?

I guarantee you all the people murdering gays in Uganda are doing it because they wholeheartedly believe it's "The right thing to do".

I just think it's interesting how many leftist riots we've seen as opposed to... one, I guess, if you really want to count Charlottesville as a right-wing riot, and considering leftist agitators were there trying to start stuff, It seems to me that lefties have a 100% riot rate during this election lol

[PhantOS]

honestly riots over something like philando castille being shot are more or less expected, but riots over like, Annoying Orange being elected and petty stuff like that isn't worth it in my mind. sure you have the right to protest a president but not the right to burn down a bunch of cars n stuff

no he really didn't

The strangest SJW encounter I've had was when like 8 people randomly stopped me and recognized my American after asking me to get a drink with them at the on-campus bar even though they were all total strangers. Then they kinda interrogated me about who I voted for in the election while simultaneously demanding that I answer with "Hillary Clinton". That's probably just normal leftist behavior, but the strange part was that they were all polish.

This definitely happened

except the right doesn't have the backing of the media, the entertainment industry, academia and all the other important institutions (minus the government)

meaning that the left has done a pretty good job convincing people that they are the evil, selfish ones

The L E F T has the backing of media, entertainment industry and academia, institutions that don't actually govern or really make any kind of public policy

For conservatives it always goes back to cultural resentment and cults of personalities around celebrities.

the dude thinks people with a different skin color are inherently inferior. yea he did

Yeah it's pretty hard to believe that anybody from Poland is a left-winger, especially when you realize how few terror attacks they suffer from.

Pretty telling how conservatives turn a blind eye to any kind of political violence against minorities, yet when some glib national socialist in a suit gets punched in the face it's abhorrent behavior.

[PhantOS]

i think white people are inferior to blacks, i guess i deserve a punch too... :(

[TristanLuigi]

Don't be a loving idiot
People hate social justice because it's political friendry beyond all belief. What's really funny is the social justice warriors of the previous generation were moral guardian, evangelist christian bigots who wanted to shove their christ roosters into everything they could. Now, we have moral guardian, far left social marxist rejects trying to shove their "equality" roosters into everything they can. Even people on the left see through the social justice veneer and into the dark heart of identity politics. I mean forgets sake, really? Come on fam

i would like to make an addendum to godwin's law, anyone who calls something "marxist" when the topic is in no way related to marxism immediately looses the argument

it's funny how willing "conservatives" are to defend the alt-right
you would think they would be trying their hardest to distance themselves

We should just slide "Anything that disagrees with the left" under Godwin's law so I can keep tallying up my morally higher ground boy points without actually having to acknowledge that half of my political agenda aligns more with fascism than the people I'm calling fascist

This is pretty much the same logic rape apologists use to victim blame. Is it just a hot-blooded spur of the moment thing? Is there a list somewhere that dictates what is and is not okay to respond to with physical violence? Who does it benefit and why does it benefit them? Why do some things get on the list when other things don't? Who has control of the list and why are we entrusting them with upholding the correct morals?

Y'all mind if I add C O M M U N I S M to that list?

[LeisureSuit912]

So much for the tolerant left
