FYI, you are the problem.
Never fails to fucking amaze me the people who will claim exercising one's free speech to be critical of another's speech is somehow an infringement of free speech, just so they can apologize for speech that advocates genocide.

The entirety of that dishonest shithead's post was to say that we, as mere toddlers beneath the disdain of his mighty intellectual elitism, don't have any rights to speak up against our supposed betters. Because to him, free speech requires that our betters be allowed to speak without criticism, even when that speech demands murder. And even if we did speak up against those who would wield political power to kill us, it would bear no fruit for us, but mere toddler peons. That is some sick freedom-hating shit.

It's kinda funny, a lot of this is more easily understood if you go back to our tribal roots. If you're thinking something that, in a tribe of 50, saying it would probably have someone kill you in your sleep and throw you off the nearest cliff, you probably shouldn't say it at all, and you should probably think about why you're thinking it to begin with.

So what you're saying is that the problem is the people who are alarmed that the spirtual advisor to the likely next GOP Presidential candidate wants some 30 million Americans put to death, and not that the spirtual advisor to the likely next GOP Presidential candidate wants some 30 million Americans put to death?

No, I'm saying that the problem is idiots who give this guy attention either way.

If you think the result of any of this, in any imaginable reality, would actually result in 30M americans put to death, you've lost your mind.

It's just another nutjob that should be ignored.

It's not a higher moral ground to get all wound up, and stir up hate, with no possible, positive outcome. It's just a waste. Hatin' on people does not change them.

You're doing nothing constructive, including attempted name calling. When did this start happening, the failure to connect with reality? Some people here want to argue so hard, desperately even, as if it makes any difference.

I'll keep an eye on the news waiting to hear them tell me "well we were going to do this and that, but then we saw a topic on anandtech's forum and did a 180."

Apparently TDS lasts far longer than his presidency did. If he were re-elected, which I hope doesn't happen, I'd imagine some people will have a stroke. Unbelievable how stressful it must be, to waste time venting and have it never make any difference.

For idiots who think genocide isn't possible I'll introduce them to Milosevic.

For idiots who think genocide against gay people isn't possible I'll introduce them the country of Uganda who wrote laws putting gay people to death. Guess who helped the Ugandans write those laws? Republicans in this country.

Idiots who think a President of the United States being indoctrinated by a gay hating fascist is a good thing, your head is in the sand.

But ignore it and it will magically disappear.

Nice. I have made this same point in the past. A modern solution I would support is that those making claims that others should be put to death be required to prove their their opinion isn't just an opinion but the absolute truth. Failure to supply absolute truth of the veracity of that opinion should result in their own execution. I think such a requirement would reduce the number of people making such claims by attrition if nothing else.

Hit the church in the pocket book. Take away their tax exempt status. Church’s should be safe for all people

Ah... so you've given up on your false argument that dissenting speech is an infringement of free speech but are sticking to your guns on the whole we're just supposed to ignore that the spirtual advisor to the likely next GOP Presidential candidate wants millions of Americans executed. Nothing to see here, folks!
Lol.. I'm sure you'd feel the same way if Biden's spirtual advisor said he wanted conservatives killed, right?

Right?

You mean like ignoring escalating hate filled rhetoric and not seeing that end badly?

See Rwanda
See China's treatment of Muslims
See religious conflict in India
See literal fucking Nazis and WW2
See white supremist radicalization in the US and attacks
See an attempt to overthrow the government on 1/6/2020.

Do I need to go on? Your silence ENABLES the very behavior you claim to be against.

YOU ARE THE FUCKING PROBLEM

Do I support putting people to death for (any reason) ? No.

I do support the right to free speech, even if it's illogical, morally wrong, hateful, etc. There is a limit to hateful though, trying to spread hate is what is going wrong with this country, and your topic is a good example of that.

You PRETEND that you are on higher moral ground and that justifies spreading hate, but in the end, you are the problem.

That nutjob is not affected by you, most people don't follow what he states and are happy not to know, but you can't help yourself to try to spread hate even if the only thing it accomplishes is more hateful people. Double fail.

You need to get a life instead of giving extra attention to the bad things in the world. Instead, focus on the good and spend your time getting people active into supporting positive things.

What you do instead, is just dig a hole and fill it with poo. No respect at all for this disgraceful nonsense.

You have a choice. Do positive things, or do negative and pretend they're positive. It's not the same.

I'm certain this idea flies way over your head because you're too stuck on seeing red in everything, but there is another way to live, one where instead of focusing on destruction, you focus on construction instead.

It's the difference between mentally being a toddler and being an adult. You've kept at this so long that you don't even recognize your pattern, but many of us have noticed but didn't bother to post anything because there's no point, if it just results in the few remaining participants in this forum, being aligned towards that agenda because sane people opted out of participating.

Do you realize the difference? No matter how right you think you are, the point is the outcome and how better to spend time towards your goal. What you are doing, simply isn't achieving any goal unless all that goal is, is to waste people's time and spread hate among the very small population on AT forums. It makes no sense at all. It makes no change in the world. It just reinforces your rabid madness that has some kind of misguided presumption that venting here does anything useful.

It hasn't worked yet has it? Will this topic fix everything, suddenly you're whole again? No. This is just a continuation of the same mind-trap that leaves you wasting time and accomplishing nothing.

I do think you have a point to some extent, but that you are too far gone to find a productive way to make change with it.

Words can be powerful but can you give me an example of any positive thing that your hateful words have accomplished, outside of faux-nonsense where all it is, is people in this forum agreeing with you?

We are not congress, the supreme court, or any such entity. You need to stop wasting your time where it bears no fruit. Anything less is madness.

You will reply and argue, and it will be madness because it accomplishes nothing. Besides that, I had no intention of writing this much into a vacuum where it has no purpose/benefit/outcome that makes any useful change in the real world.
I heard many good people say President’s Biden’s Spiritual Advisor is calling for the death of every caucasian Republican registered male. Now that would be constructive right? Right? I mean bigly constructive.

you debating on tech forum with point of we shouldn’t be debating is single dumbest thing I ever read outside of every Moonbeam post.
