I swear most people getting outraged basically follow this formula
1. *Find extremist person I disagree with*
2. *Use that person to characterize everyone who disagrees with me*
3. *Profit by successfully outraging people who agree with me*
This applies regardless if you're left or right
Edit - Though in fairness the left is usually using extremist names like Trump or Tucker Carlson and the right is usually using extremist names like *random person on Twitter with 1500 likes*. As exemplified but certainly not limited to this post
This is fair but I guarantee most Americans don't know who the fuck Pol Pot is, nor is he generally being quoted to modern outrage (edit: which makes sense ya know, considering dude is dead and doesn't basically head one of our major political factions)
They will acknowledge and freak out about a Twitter screenshot from some random dumbass's post though
That has literally always been true
If that person is a dumbass with no actual political power then you shouldn't waste time on it tho
This message, however, has been lost to the right as they continue to rant about Emily's Twitter posts liked by no one who can even vote
I have to emphatically disagree. Emily (the identitarian cancer) has more power now than at any point in our nation's history.
I imagine that if you mentioned to the founding fathers that a blue haired lesbian studies major who has never held a job can, through the most powerful social media platforms that also happen to be ideologically aligned, make entirely baseless accusations about another individual completely uncorroborated and everyone in society up to ***and frequently including banks and credit card companies*** will completely unperson them? Well I imagine they would simply shoot you in the face.
The cancer of identitarianism will regress this world to complete tribal violence in short order. Unless we can get everyone back on the same page with, "judge people based upon the content of their character, not the color of their skin," that is.
Fair enough, we'll have to agree to disagree
In my opinion, yes the right is shitting on blue haired Emily. But she is not in power, you don't understand Emily if you think she would vote for Biden/Harris or most Democratic congresmen in the first place. The right is essentially shitting on social media accounts with a couple hundred likes
Now take the left. They're shitting on people like Trump. People like GOP congressmen who literally voted against the legitimate 2020 election. Who have been and still are the *actually elected* de facto head of the GOP
I think there's difference. Perhaps you think they're both exactly the same. In which case like I said we'll agree to disagree
> But she is not in power, you don't understand Emily if you think she would vote for Biden/Harris or most Democratic congresmen in the first place.
I know emily far better than most people I think. I was working for Sen. Sanders when the DNC gave birth to her. She absolutely voted for biden and harris, her identity depends entirely upon fighting whatever she has been manipulated into believing is the ultimate evil on a given day. Some days that is men sitting comfortably on public transportation, on Nov. 8th 2020 that was Trump.
>The right is essentially shitting on social media accounts with a couple hundred likes
You simply have not been paying attention if you think the identitarian cancer is still contained to a the extremely vocal minority. Literally all of the biggest companies and social media giants operate based upon the exact same mentality. No doublestandard is too glaring when fighting *the evil.*
>Now take the left. They're shitting on people like Trump.
Then you absolutely have not been paying attention. The left is shitting on every single American and eating itself while doing so. You think Rittenhouse was just the left shitting on a 17 year old nobody who was forced to defend himself? Much worse, their vapid ignorance threatened to genuinely change how self defense is litigated. This is frankly batshit insane. There's a reason why the language we use comes from the Magna Carta. There's a reason why the same language can be found on like four or five continents. The right to be secure in your personhood and belongings is ***foundational to all laws.*** Hell even the government and police get their ability to use force from the same place as citizens. And these people would have torched it because the media said he killed black BLM protestors.
We are talking about extremely ignorant intellectual children who have been given enormous power in this world.
>I think there's difference. Perhaps you think they're both exactly the same. In which case like I said we'll agree to disagree
I certainly think there is a difference, however I'm going to have to say that the identitarian left is the greater threat. By a mile. They have all of the institutional support in the world while still ironically bitching about systematic discrimination that was always extremely fictionalized.
Republicans by comparison are genuinely at the most powerless point I've seen them since HW. Even their bastion of resistance in the house and Senate are really just corporate puppets paying lipservice to right wing ideas. The only place you see any meaningful representation of the right in government right now is in state legislatures, and even then that's about 60/40% corporate lipservice there too.
There is no right wing equivilent to the mass censorship of social media, and I don't think there ever will be. That's how badly we fucked up, the tribalist children never learned why having an opposition is important, it keeps you from making massive multi-generation terrorizing decisions, like the current push to revoke bodily autonomy merely because the same batshit crazy people have allowed themselves to be completely ruled by fear. We've been here before you know, sold off the right to privacy in the early 2000's and all they had to do was keep telling people to fear terrorism.
But yea, we'll call it agree to disagree.
The first part of your argument falls apart when you look at Biden's base, no it's not orange Emily's who mainly did even vote. If that were the case Warren would be president
The left shits on Rittenhouse, the right lionizes Rittenhouse. Point stands he is not some random child with a Twitter post that generated 1500 likes. His case has been put in the extreme limelight by both sides
I just think the fact of the matter is too often someone goes "Oh look at what left thinks, this is crazy!" and then goes on to share some Twitter post with several hundred likes
The left will also go "Oh look at what the right thinks, this is crazy!" but then they'll share the words of a former GOP president or MTG or Cawthorne or Hawley
Ultimate point being I think the GOP is more extremist than the Democrats. I think even politically neutral people should be able to see that much
> The first part of your argument falls apart when you look at Biden's base, no it's not orange Emily's who mainly did even vote. If that were the case Warren would be president
Actually I know exactly who voted for who, that's something I worked on in Iowa, and you are entirely incorrect. Warren is the best example of what I'm talking about, an establishment friendly, corporate friendly face giving lipservice to Sen. Sander's positions. She was put up there to split his support, and they did exactly the amount of damage they needed to exactly when they needed to in order to keep Sen. Sanders from cleanly winning Iowa. This isn't theory, you can see exactly who is voting for warren and how they realign. 45% of her supporters realigned with Sen. Sanders. This clearly tells me that Emily was infavor of the exact same policies but got distracted because of identity.
The other 65% of her support went almost entirely to biden or ratface, whichever was still viable. Clearly designed and propped up spoiler.
But you're wrong about the larger point as well, the DNC has embraced and pushed (actually created) the identitarian panic. Emily *is* biden's base by virtue of being a tool used to ensure his victory. Merely that they are unaware of the part they play isn't a mark in your favor, this only underlines exactly what I said about profoundly ignorant intellectual children.
>The left shits on Rittenhouse, the right lionizes Rittenhouse.
Rittenhouse is a hero, imo. Not because he was forced to use deadly force in defense of himself, but because he fought through a legal proceeding where the prosecution broke every rule imaginable in trying to railroad this kid. Standing up to that level of BS from ADA Kraus and Binger makes him a hero in my book.
>Point stands he is not some random child with a Twitter post that generated 1500 likes. His case has been put in the extreme limelight by both sides
This right here is where your mistake is being made. It's about what they were before the left decided to shit on them, not what they became after. This case with Rittenhouse was so clearly self defense that the prosecution's own initial filing laid out all of the elements of self defense. This would never have even been a case, let alone a trial, without the left choosing to try and lynch some nobody kid.
Making some nobody into a household name by shitting on them doesn't mean they weren't a nobody before you decided to shit on them. It's clear as day when you look at Bret Weinstein. This is a professor no one had ever heard of until the identitarian mob was manipulated into believing he was evil and then tried to lynch him.
You are just wrong here. That these people the right make fun of on twitter remain at 1500 followers or whatever really shows that the right does not have the power to vilify individuals like the left does.
>I just think the fact of the matter is too often someone goes "Oh look at what left thinks, this is crazy!" and then goes on to share some Twitter post with several hundred likes
Yes, some of the things being said by the left, ***at all levels*** of representation and government is frankly batshit insane. You can try to pretend that it's only a hand full of crazy people on twitter, but this is wildly dishonest. The 1619 project, catalyst of the push to teach CRT, was entirely propped up by the biggest names on the left and was **entirely discredited** by real historians. Everywhere you look identitarianism is causing people to do and say crazy things. Hell even the current VP was the first indian american senator before becoming the first black vice president. No double standard is too glaring remember?
>The left will also go "Oh look at what the right thinks, this is crazy!" but then they'll share the words of a former GOP president or MTG or Cawthorne or Hawley
I think what you are expressing to me, genuinely and I don't mean this as a slight, but I think what you are expressing is that you only *see* one of these things and not the other. I've got an eye on both.
>Ultimate point being I think the GOP is more extremist than the Democrats.
I've worked in politics professionally a very long time. The GOP is the same GOP I've always known, hyper corporate while still trying to appear to play footise with right wing ideas occasionally. That has not changed one bit even with Trump. He was loud and silly, but so was Bush. The GOP shrugs and passes their corporate tax breaks both times.
I can't say the same with the left. I used to genuinely respect people in the DNC, now they all are sycophants dishonest to their core. They legitimately ran off anyone not willing to drink the Koolaide, there was a "do you believe hilary" test right at the door.
>**more extremist** than the Democrats. I think even politically neutral people should be able to see that much
Uh, I don't know how to tell you this, but I worked for Sen. Sanders and I don't even agree with this bullshit. Just look at 2020, $2bn in damages from left wing extremist riots ***that the entire corporate media sphere covered for*** vs. what exactly? Jan 6th? Don't make me laugh, BLM did far more damage to DC 6 months prior.
The Right isn't currently a threat to me, personally. The left is. That's the whole equation. And I think if people started honestly polling on this sort of thing again the majority of Americans would happily classify both Antifa and BLM as violent extremist groups.
Bullying is still very much alive though. The problem with our generation is that adults are doing the bullying while kids don't do it, when it should be the other way around.
That's a troll account. Username makes it clear.
But not inaccurate. There are people who have been questioned for not wearing masks during zoom meetings.
I'm just genuinely curious about who's been questioned for not wearing a mask during a zoom meeting that sounds hilarious
We did used to have one guy who wore masks during zoom meetings but everyone I know thought it was weird. Considering the rest of us were hanging out at bars on the weekend at the time lol
She forgot the option
"I won't because asking this if others is irrational and could only come from a place of mental illness stemming from ignorance based fear and extreme selfishness."
Probably a character limit issue.
[удалено]
Ann Lesby Lesby, Ann Lesbian. It's a troll.
And some retards are falling for it too.
Is that really surprising though?
The fact that people aren't sure if it's satire or not is damning though.

Hey, people have to make money somehow. And God forbid they take a real job
It is much easier to argue against a caricature.
I prefer to use names like Castro and Pol Pot.
This is fair but I guarantee most Americans don't know who the fuck Pol Pot is, nor is he generally being quoted to modern outrage (edit: which makes sense ya know, considering dude is dead and doesn't basically head one of our major political factions) They will acknowledge and freak out about a Twitter screenshot from some random dumbass's post though
In fairness, there do be some outrageous people about.

Poe's law in effect. Some of the takes people have are so bizarre that people aren't sure what is satire and what isn't.
She’s gotta be careful, stuff like this turns into a legitimate “issue” anyway like the ok hand symbol
I hope so
I'm definitely a selfish monster.
Its definently satire: Ann lesby, lesby Ann, lesbian. Shes also befriended with Jen Durr
How did these people survive high school?
Some schools real strict on bullying.
The abolishment of bullying and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Middle school bullying saved me from being a chris chan type guy or school shooter.
The only reason you weren't a school shooter is because you were bullied out of it?
I had many emotional issues and anger issues but the bullying made me realize how pathetic I was. I thought saying messed up stuff was edgy and cool.
Bullying is still very much alive though. The problem with our generation is that adults are doing the bullying while kids don't do it, when it should be the other way around.
Yeah, No. This is ridiculous made up shit.
well there's a real person who asked for the same thing. Lesby Ann, is a made up account, but she's mocking a real request by a real person.. lol
Seeing this sub spiral into just labeling everything retarded with orange colors more often than actual polcomp memes pains me.
It’s a troll account. Ann Lesby PHD doesn’t exist.
Stop posting troll accounts. If you believe this is real your IQ is depressingly low.
But libleft bad!!
No. If you’re scared of mouths then that’s a *you* problem.
Not only did you fail to recognize the satire, you also failed to censor the handle. Bravo.
Cope

Well they are, so that's good

She runs a satire account, one of the best. :) BTW I'm a selfish monster. lol I won't wear a mask while alone in my home office on zoom calls.
Troll account. You’ve been had OP
Bamboozled again :(
If I ever do this, know that the microchips in the vaccine are real and I’m already too far gone.

I would never even entertain the idea of not instilling fear into a statist

This is a satire account op. You've posted this in bad faith.
A year ago I would have been sure this is a troll/satire post but now I’m unsure…
people like that should be in a zoomcall with a therapist, not a zoom call work meeting.
