I kind of think that either outcome isn't a bad thing. Not that I want a civil war or something but if it does happen it will allow for the purging of the radical/authoritarian left and bring the US back to a sense of normality.

I meanits a way of burning excess

The extreme views will die out.

But you can expect the people in the middle to become more extreme.

Well, more in comparison, not actually extreme

Radical centrists lel.

Talking like, I didnt care abotu free speech before, now Im aware and support it

It's not going to be a left vs right thing. It will be crazies vs non crazies.

Thing is everything is so tribal now

Well yeah that's the two party system for you.

That even mild difference in opinion results in all out anger

Society is too complex for 2 parties.

But people are too simple to think beyond yes and no

Nobody wants to sit through hours of tests to see which party they will agree with

Alot of people agree with trump policies but hate it because of the name behind it

I'm actually in camp #2. We know humor tends to get attention and I think the kinds of people in the camps is actually shifting.

I actually was thinking of the Social Justice stuff when I posted this. In the case of Social Justice, you're not aiming for votes. You're aiming for minds. Rather, I think it's too easy for the Social Justice types to hide, shame and intimidate.

I love the idea of mocking them to force them to show themselves for the fools they are. Much harder for them to hit people that way and forces them to really overplay their hands.

I do have this feeling that social justice crazies are alot like the fundamentalist religious right. I suspect they probably don't understand irony very well either.

It works on keeping the group together

Trump knows that by creating all those nicknames

And trumpers have nicknames for each other and their own injokes

Im talking shit like coats, bricks, the trump train

You need both really

You need to make fun of high-profile people, to show them they're not indomitable, and to show the people that you can win

And you need to shitpost, to push back against their poor argumenting and showing how bad the people are, and gather people who agree

Just make sure it looks like you are having more fun than the other side

Leftie memes are bad because theres alot of stuff thats not allowed to be made fun of

true, Milo for all his fakeness got that part right,

Leftists can't stand Laughter, it is the best power

^ This is why I get reminded so much of the Religious Right. I still remember the crusades against Harry Potter and Pokemon.

because you're not allowed to laugh

The Left are the new puritans.

i must thank the far left. they made me realize that religion is a symptom, not a source.

Can we upload images here?

No

That is a violation of my 1A rights

Took my crap to the firearms chat in protest

You can at rank 10

Aye someone said so at the fake-news room but you can never trust the fake-stream media

But still you can't upload images in this text channel

Read the description

reading is for nerds

tru

Lol

I really enjoy Tim's work and am watching the backlog. The narrative he keeps pushing about the SCOTUS cake decision and that you should just "bake the cake" is wrong. The gay couple specifically targeted that baker because of his religions beliefs and the baker was willing to sell them a generic cake off the shelf, he just did not want to support their wedding message. Naturally this couple made a stink of it as was their goal and got a court case out of it. Freedom of association should be preserved and the government does not have a right to order a business to do service. If the public finds a business is discriminating, they are free to send their own message by not doing business there and causing its destruction.
