Here is another activist journo piece calling for "civil disobedience"

It's funny how after watching Tims video a political Discord server I'm in started having the right and left arguing about who would win in a civil war.

And some calling for it too.

Lel

Ppl tend to write lefties off

The lefties were talking about "how they are the majority" and "they have guns too".

In china commies drowe capitalists into the ocean

Also how Liberals will "stop playing nice soon".

In US there is also the geographical aspect of it

Its no longer north vs south

But coasts vs inland

the inland will riiiise agiiin

problem with UKIP is they split off votes from torys... all you end up with is a labour gov

followed shortly by communism and death

in parliament the tory chancellor threw Mao's book at the labour chancellor .. kinda funny

I was thinking about him having to go to a book store and actually buying that book just for that

If this hypothetical civil war were a traditional military confrontation then yeah, the right would probably win. Even putting aside the people involved just the terrain held by each at the onset is enough to swing it in the right's favor. The lefties would be besieged in a few cities, cut off from food and water supplies.

BUT it's not going to be a traditional military confrontation.

It'll look more like cartel violence, at least at the beginning. Assassinations, bombings, arson, etc.

All with a coordinated media campaign.

It's not so easy to pick winners and losers under such conditions.

The right-wingers have a fuckload of guns and ammo but they won't have targets or the will to employ them.

I sometimes hang out on gun forums and they're just as delusional as the lefties.

@Timcast ive listened through all of @Starscream92 (ChefLeopard) video and it sounds very important to me. its basicly a story about fake news that never got any attention. its about a "journalist" who got into various bernie sanders support facebook groups during the election who collected information on the people inside it then once bernie lost the primarys this "journalist" went to various news outlets spreading a story that these people were russian bots. then when the people there tried to get the story corrected it never got contact with the news companys that ran the story and they have faced backlash both politically and personally for it

Sargon is right though, that is more or less what politics is about. Developing narratives to maintain support and getting away with lying

That's why I like Trump. He's not a politician.

Well one reason anyways.

Trump has his narrative and is using it to maintain public support

He doesn't try to hind behind fake words like most politicians though. He says what he thinks.

Most of the "lies" he has been caught in are partial truths, so anyone critiszing him is forced to acknowledge the underlying truth. If they dont point it out or at least nod in its direction then trumps supporters have a built in rebuttal.

Many people would agree with you, they've grown discontent with both sides of the staus quo. To them trump represents a break from the stale political dialogue and a chance to see actual govenrment action to solve issues.

@Arch-Fiend if you need anymore information about this, don't hesitate to contact me or @Canucklehead

If true. Ugh

These are the same pro net neutrality companies

Proves that they aren't in it for "the people"

It's almost as if two different things are not the same thing...

Almost, almost as if

Holding an opinion on one subject does not necessarily indicate your opinion on a different subject

Almost, almost, almost as if

Just because someone is pro-net neutrality, that does not mean they're automatically pro-privacy, or pro-consumer's rights in matters not related to said net neutrality.
