This post actually made me laugh uncontrollably. Like, people aren't pissed over the tip. They're pissed because HE LEFT A HOMOPHOBIC MESSAGE AND SLUR OVER THE NOTE THEN PRETENDED HE DIDN'T TIP AT ALL AND BLAST THIS OVER THE INTERNET. What the hell?!

The gay dude who eats multiple black richards nightly left homophobic remarks on a receipt. Obviously it wasn't seriois, and I'd be more concerend with the tip considering my background as a long time waiter and bartender.

who are u?

I'm the dude.

it's literally just as easy to pull up anecdotes about crazy things that conservatives/libertarians/greens/etc believe.
The vast majority of liberals don't actually believe those things, and the people who do are confined to the ultra-liberal SJW circles that normal people can't stand.

There are dozens of millions of liberals in this country, and it's statistically impossible that there aren't radicals in a group that large.
If you're looking to confirm your biases against them, you will always be able to find anecdotes that support your beliefs.

As much as I generally disagree with you politically, that's a pretty great point.  

The entire left is not calling for assassination, etc.  Not even close to a majority either.
Trying to reaffirm an existing confirmation bias against the entire left via recent events is a shame because there are legitimate ways to deconstruct and destroy bad leftist arguments and ideas with logic.

For reference: The chances of there not being a single radical left-leaning person if the chances of a left-leaning person being radical is 1 in 10,000,000 would be less than .00001%

That's a discussion I'm happy to have, since at least it involves constructive dialog rather than a pissing contest over who can pull up the most egregious anecdote about the other person's political creed.

See but that's not brown townogous. This would be like if a black person went online and trolled people by acting like a kool kids klub member/national socialist. It's not any less inflammatory, infantile, and stupid just because the hate speech isn't genuinely what they believe.

For the last time, no matter how loud you scream into your pillow everynight, milo isnt a national socialist, or any equivalent.
But this groupthink mentality sure is interesting.

He probably doesn't mean it, but it's definitely evidence that he's just an attention-starved child in the body of a homoloveual man.
This is the same logic fat people give on why they think the "poster patriarchy" are so thin. 'Oh they're just anorexic' [proceeds to consume pastry isle].

'Oh, he's just attention seeking' [proceeds to live lonely, antisocial life].

Maybe, just maybe, this is fun for a rich man to do? Visit and tour america while speaking your personal politics, and stir the pot and watch as people go loving full (ironically enough) fascist, and try to shut it down for no good reason.

Sounds like one hell of a time to me.

I think your opinions on liberals are founded more on alt-right outrage videos than on reality.

Ok.  Are these videos making things up?  Because usually it's just showing the exact source with context and reacting.  The Sally Boynton Brown's speech is available in it's entirety, the more you see of it the worse it gets.  It's not taken out of context.  I went to a university you know, I saw this stuff forming.  I actually got one of my professors to break down into a screaming fit because I refused to accept his moral relativism around female genital mutilation and loving communism.  If I was 10 years younger I'd have cell phone video of it.

There are dozens of millions of liberals in this country, and it's statistically impossible that there aren't radicals in a group that large.

No doubt, but you've lost control of university administration, the mainstream news media, Hollywood, and the democratic party.

Also, I looked into the stats on affirmative action, and a Gallup poll shows that 32% of white conservatives and 50% of white moderates support it.

Sounds like a lot less than half the country.  The only reason it's even that high is because: 1. The newspeak name "affirmative action" doesn't even describe what it is.  If you called it "race testing" or "segregated admissions", support would plummet.  2. There's an implicit threat that if you don't agree you're a tribal.  3. White guilt perpetuated by the media.

but notice that both Brown and the crowd are white



Ah yes, look at those fine white people laughing in the background when she gives their fellow whites a good roasting.  

That's the difference between racism against a group in power, and racism against a group that's not.

This right here is the problem.  This isn't some far flung extremist view, it's the mainstream, it's you.  Everyone on the left thinks this and it's the most tribal bullstuff I've ever heard.  The homeless guy getting the stuff kicked out of him at a BLM protest is not "in power" just because his skin is white.  White people do not get billions of free dollars just because they have vaguely the same skin color as Donald Annoying Orange. You can't just group people together by skin color and say they're all the same without being a tribal.  It's bullstuff that you get to say this and go home feeling like the good guy.  At least the trolls on /pol/ know they're being tribal.

I realize that paragraph is not going to convince you or even advance the discussion productively but I don't really care.  I've heard this stuff too many times.

From inside the room where the speech was, before you get too roostery.

Even Breitbart sponsors that claim, saying the main focus of the presentation was "sanctuary campuses": http://www.breitbart.com/milo/2017/01/31/milo-horowitz-start-campaign-sanctuary-campuses/amp/

Multiple students were aware of this aspect of the presentation beforehand: http://www.sfgate.com/news/amp/UC-warns-campus-group-Yiannopoulos-event-could-10901517.php

Great, so you're misrepresenting it then because informing people how to report crimes to the proper authorities is not the same as doxing individual students.

Side note: embedding twitter images directly like that doesn't seem to work.  Rehost them on imgur or a similar site.

reason why i dont partake in political discussion:

Republicans: DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL AND STUPID I KNOW IM RIGHT AND THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY

Democrats: REPUBLICANS ARE EVIL AND STUPID AND I KNOW IM RIGHT AND THE REPUBLICANS WANT TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY

im not even exaggerating that badly here, just get rid of the caps lock and boom it's accurate.

When did Badspot get so based holy stuff

I'd be interested in his political compass position

well that's why I stay away from identifying myself as one or the other, because the moment you do that it locks you into a bunch of dumb, stuffty identity politics. I just have my views and that's all.

Disproving arguments of the ignorant are not done for the ignorant, but rather for the misled.

Disproving arguments of the ignorant are not done for the ignorant, but rather for the misled.
Every viewpoint here is so polarized that we're all ignorant, but none of us are misled, because 'misled' is a completely subjective word to use for a viewpoint. There are, however, people here who express their viewpoint incorrectly, which is where ignorant comes in. You and Polliwhirl fall into the latter category, which is the one that makes everyone else look bad.

The misled can have their opinions changed. The ignorant can't, as their brains are too warped to even conceive of rational or intelligent political discussion. That's why nobody bothers to disprove you, we just dismiss it before you bring down the standard even further.

the government suppressing knowledge so that they can stay in power vs the people protesting (even if violently) the government doing things they think are wrong
not really the same. u conservatives really like to claim you're being censored, huh
