its because people online now are looking for victories not conversations

Most people dont give a fuck about your side bc theyre working 50 hour weeks and slacing to get home to do chores

People have been petty and politically violent since the dawn of man. The difference now is that society is very dependent on electronic communications, and due to convenience, society allowed the vast majority of it into the hands of a few thousand people in San Fran.

A big part of the issue is that even a lot of conservatives are irrationally hostile when conversing with liberals.

Some people don't seem to understand that calling them SJW snowflake fags to their face isn't an effective method of reaching common ground with them.

@AnthonyLaCosaNostra exactly

There -has- to be mutual respect and civility.

Lol working america doesnt give a fuck about most things the "internet" freaks out about

/\

@Zykritch bullshit

the left is violent

And they just laugh at companies who react to it

Not all of the left, Contro.

Some of them.

A large portion, sure. But not every leftist is a radical Antifa member.

agree not all of the left but the majority of the alt left

The right is violent too, by those standards.

the right has been violent but recently how violent have they been ?

The problem is that we have come to believe that everyone is participating in the culture war when that is simply not true

Well, they killed a woman a year ago

I've met a number of leftists who are genuinely good people who **think** they're on the correct side, people who sincerely believe they hold the moral high ground. They're just misguided.

News flash were human, were animals, we are violent

And a couple cops

many americans are gonna go about their days like any other despite all this

And tried to kill a black guy, but the gun jammed

It's the reason you have the #walkaway movement at the moment.

No theyre going to vote once every two years

And that was all on the same day

Lol

anyone seeking ingroup validation for a prescribed set of principals will have a hard time convincing me they actually have any principals. not that i would say that to their face, not because im afraid to. Just unproductive.

tbh i think #walkaway is cowardly

one person on the left dies and all of a sudden the right is more violent than the left which has killed more than one person

reform dont run

if a party is actively working against your interests, why would you stick with the party?

@Rabbi Shekels Show me the antifa murder

i never said its just antifa

Because I can show you a whole slew of neo-Nazi slayings

Lefties killing righties? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Congressional_baseball_shooting

i know that topics flow and all but we seems to be getting away from things

They see the tip. Of the iceberg of most politics. If what they see frightens them they vote the opposite way of the people who frighten them. As of today is democrats. Chanting abolish ice. Blocking streets on a workday. Crying about random shit on the internet. Calling people racists. It scares the average american
