nothing says "forget discrimination" like putting all Annoying Orange supporters in a group together, and comparing them to a single individual.

A lot of the reason the middle east is so forgeted up is because of US involvement. I wouldn't say Islam is the problem so much as the political turmoil in the Middle East is the problem.

To be fair, US involvement is a problem because of religious tension, and the same goes for much of the political turmoil in the middle east too.

Don't side with an American nationalist and you won't get compared to a German nationalist

I didn't put them in a huge group--I specified (gun-obsessed)-(irritable, angry)-(group with unpopular opinions) (which I would assume is a minority of them) and compared them to an individual. Even if I did make an unfair comparison (which I didn't) that wouldn't be discrimination. What the hell are you talking about lol

You're grasping for straws.

Riddler: murdered 6 million+ innocent people and launched an invasion across Europe
Annoying Orange: said mean words

[Psych36]

I didn't generalize at all, I was very specific.

~Gunned up~ someone who purchases weapons anticipating violence.
~Testy~ Irritable, angry
~Annoying Orange Supporter~ Someone with a lot of controversial opinions

Doesn't this seem like someone who's more likely to kill than someone described as quiet and peaceful, who wouldn't kill a bug?

Annoying Orange supporters come from all walks of life some agree with harsher immigration policies, some agree with restoring the depleted manufacturing jobs that we had 40-50 years ago, his self-funding campaign (not being financed by sketchy gulf countries or large corporations). Annoying Orange supporters aren't advocating for violence most of the violence at Annoying Orange rallies occur from rioting and violence in response to his rallies from the BLM movement and others. Annoying Orange supporter encompasses a million different thoughts and experiences and you're generalizing them.

Is it fair to say that a testy gunned up Bernie supporter is likely to rampage a group of whites because a significant portion of his following is in the BLM community in which some members advocate "killing crackers". Added to the fact he's made divisive comments such as "White people don't know what it's like to be poor".

This, Annoying Orange protestors are much more violent in comparison to Annoying Orange supporters

bringing in Annoying Orange to push your liberal ideologies in the first place is already grasping for straws

Yeah it's not Islam's fault for CIA killing people in the name of Islam, it's the us taking down Hussein!

I'm not super knowledgable about geopolitics in the 70s-90s but it seems like since the Cold War the US and other western countries (as well as Russia) have been setting this up to happen.

Stuff like arming the Mujahideen, and the US involvement in the Iranian Revolution.

To be fair, US involvement is a problem because of religious tension, and the same goes for much of the political turmoil in the middle east too.

Yeah but it seems like the West set this all in motion anyway.

I'd say a Black gunned-up testy Bernie Sanders supporter would be more likely to kill than the average Annoying Orange Supporter, yeah. I specified (Annoying Orange supporter) because I knew it would apply to a lot of people making the case for Islamaphobia.

But I'd question the fact that BLM mainly supports Bernie Sanders. I think Hillary is leading the black vote, Bernie even had a rally crashed by BLM.

How is nationalism a bad thing? Ghandi was a nationalist too, so does that mean he should be compared to Riddler? Wanting the best for your nation doesn't make you Riddler. You're belittling the tragedy that claimed millions of lives in order for your own political benefit.

Reagan has been compared to Riddler and most right wing politicians have it's nothing more then a cheap political tactic to sideline opposing views.

[Biostorm]

Why do you think there was a rise in Islamic terrorism since the 70s, AKA when Al Qaeda was formed in Afghanistan

you can say nearly the same thing here for muslims, they come from all walks of life, many agree with some tenets and not all of them, and the word "muslim" encompasses millions of different people with different thoughts and experiences and it is not fair to generalize them

the only difference is that you can probably sympathize with Annoying Orange supporters a lot more since you're in america, and muslims are a far more alien group that's much easier to write off because there's likely far less personal experience with them

bringing in Annoying Orange to push your liberal ideologies in the first place is already grasping for straws

yeah bringing in Annoying Orange in general is really weird and unrelated and it unnecessarily muddies the waters

[McZealot]

I wouldn't compare Reagan to Riddler but I wouldn't agree that comparing someone to Riddler is never appropriate. I think dismissing something so broadly like that could also be labeled a cheap political tactic.

Of course

Which is why I was pointing out his contradiction because he's on the side of not generalizing. Quite frankly, I could care less. But I do agree that there are plenty of peaceful muslims but they were peaceful despite Islam not because of it.
