Like Middle Eastern politics
@(import (srfi 151)) not half the people you think are "alt right" actually are.
The left is the one indoctrinating people into hate, not the right. The left is the one accusing others of being racist, of hating religious people, demonizing those that would choose to save an unborn child, using congressional investigations to harrass, ect. It is not the right.
A leftist pipeline will result in people starting to listen only for hate speech when their opponents speak rather than listen to what they are saying
The left is driving up crime in minority areas by fostering mistrust with the police, falsely claiming they are racist, which results in increased crime and drives buisnesses away, decreasing opportunity in those areas for minorities
A leftist pipeline will result in people thinking democratic socialism, which has wrecked Venezuela and many other countries, is a good thing.
and now it's the "you're a fucking idiot" lightning round
"the left is using congressional investigations to harass people"
"the left hates religious people"
"the left mistrusts police"
"socialism destroyed venezuela"
"false accusations that police are racist"
"the left indoctrinates people into hate"
obligatory COINTELPRO mention to throw more fuel on the fire
“False mistrust with the police” my sides
"the left hates police!"
t. the side responsible for waco, ruby ridge, and basically every other standoff
@DA GOMMIE JOO see? You show that you have been manipulated because you linked a statistic about unarmed people that were killed by police without the context of the statistic about the percentage of violent crime each race committed (it's not equal)
I think you saw a source that only showed stats you linked without context
Yikes look at these people
@Apple O'Day do you have any arguments to make?
>ignores every point except the one about race and crime rates
so I guess that whole "the right is perfectly capable of and is indeed often responsible for hate and violence" bit went right over your head
Hello
Jim Fucking Sterlin
Yes I do have arguements to make but I don't have lots of time to look back
The USA today story is a single case which is irrelevant to a discussion about national trends
The npr story is a single case which is irrelevant to a discussion about national trends
The rest were memes
As for Venezuela there are always going to be excuses
Next time socialism fails it will be due to... X
Then it will be due to... Y
The reality is... That it is socialism and not X or Y
@(import (srfi 151)) if you want me to make an arguement then say something in response to my initial statement that is substantial enough to argue with
Ok done for now
I like that the server is more of a politics server now
so the complete collapse of exports had nothing to do with the collapse of the venezuelan economy?
Of course it did!
Let's say Japan was a 3rd world country still and had one of the worst economies...
And you said it was because of atomic bombs being dropped
Like yes, but they should be better by now, I would say, and it reflects poorly on them
