What's it going to take for you idiots to admit something is wrong? Bread lines? I mean seriously you people are mind f_ed. Is there no corporation that you guys won't shill for.

Also private company crap goes out the window when they are censoring at the behest of the government.
Something is wrong alright--multiple generations of rural Americans have been brainwashed by right wing media since the Fairness Doctrine was repealed. They've then gone on to elect representatives who do not actually represent their best interests, only the interests of a handful of donors and corporations. Hurting Democrats has become an end to justify the means of grabbing and holding on to power.

What corporations are Democrats shilling for in your alternate reality?

Big tech isn't just removing content willy nilly to satisfy Uncle Tom—they’re often doing it at the behest of their own users! We’re sick of seeing debunked conspiracies spreading in our feeds.

Lies that have repeatedly been debunked. Lol. Sorry no amount of propaganda from the leftist media will dissuade me from believing my own eyes. I saw a facility that was supposedly under water that wasn't. Told everyone to leave and pulled out boxes from underneath a table to start counting.

Again, you are repeating lies that have been debunked. I am not at all surprised that you decided anyone telling you things you didn't want to hear was lying to you though.

This is just common sense as surely the Republican secretary of state would have prosecuted her when confronted with this. Oh, not him? Is he in on it too?

Well then surely Georgia's Republican AG will prosecute when confronted with this ironclad evidence. Oh, not him? Is he in on it too?

Well then surely Georgia's Republican governor will step in when confronted with this ironclad evidence. Oh, not him? Is he in on it too?

Well then surely Trump's Republican AG would have stepped in when confronted with this ironclad evidence. Oh, not him? Is he in on it too?

Now ask yourself if this is some massive conspiracy or if maybe you just bought into yet another one of Trump's lies.

The phone call is stupid and imo just Donald Trump being a dumb ass. Trump is very possibly corrupt as Joe Biden or the Democrats.

The phone call was very clearly Trump asking for the secretary of state to corruptly influence the election Trump lost.

There is zero evidence of even a single restriction or ban that was done at the behest of the government. Not a single one. They are banning conservatives because conservatives behave badly on their platforms. If they behaved better they wouldn't have any problems. Regardless, Twitter can ban you because it doesn't like your face, it doesn't need a reason.

If you don't like it, you're free not to use their service!

Yes, we all know you only drink deeply from the leaden fountain of right-wing propaganda.
No. Actually I have found that most if not all of msm is corrupt. Including fox news. It's a game they play to keep the easily entertained confused. Alternative media is the only reliable source of information. And it tends to lean right because you know truth and all.

Right but you just repeated a bunch of easily debunked lies so if it's really a reliable source of information how are you so badly misinformed?

So what do you consider to be credible sources? And do you have specific links for the issues you have raised in this thread? So far you're literally just making claims with absolutely zero evidence to support any of them not even links to sources that many may find questionable.

Big pharma, big tech, and now not surprisingly the war machine. Whatever MSM tells y'all is whatever y'all believe. We went from the worstest virus of all times to now gearing up for ww3. It's almost comical how quickly and efficiently the brainwashing has taken hold.

No. I have numerous sources of information. I can think rationally and am very cautious about what or who to believe. I'm definitely not stupid enough to believe msm which has been caught lying more times than I can remember just in the last two years. Make sure to get your fourth booster soon as they are gearing up to start that back up soon.

No, quite simply you saw video you have no idea is of what, and were fed a false narrative as to what it shows.

When presented with iron clad evidence that narrative is false, you scream "BIAS" and completely ignore the fact that you've been intentionally misled.

Big pharma? Might wanna check the numbers on Dems vs. Reps voting against common sense reforms on drug prices or allowing the government to negotiate pricing on behalf of all Americans. Yes, we’re responsible for Joe Lieberman, Manchin, Sinema and a few others who’ve leveraged their outsized influence as lawmakers, but the list of GOP sellouts is like 3x longer at least.

Big Tech is an animal that the Bushes and Clinton let loose and nobody has tried reining in until now. Dems don’t own that.

War machine? Have you met the neo-cons???

The worst virus of all time is still here—BA2 is ramping up and some European cities may be thinking mask mandates soon. But, in case you missed it, nobody cares anymore because the vaccines work and Paxlovid is here. Anti-vax Q-tard scum can take zero credit for opening the economy back up.

Actually I don’t know if I would classify you as stupid, easily gullible sure, easily manipulated, most definitely, but stupid? Probably not. In fact since you claim to be rational I’m guessing your education level is perhaps higher than others, I say this because studies have shown smart people to be the strongest believer in wrong information.



I always love when a “both sides bitch” pops up in a thread, it’s like a flashing neon sign that says, “look at me! I’m too intellectually lazy to fact check anyone so everyone must suck”.

Btw, I thought your first post in this thread was a parody mocking the right, turns out it was just you projecting.

Its amusing seeing the clowns trying to claim this is a far left message board when I have to nearly constantly tell guys on here to stop talking about women purely as sex objects (whilst they show Ben Shapiro level of ignorance of actually knowing how to please a woman...), to maybe not label people openly displaying fascist behavior as a "fan of history" and other bonkers bullshit that constantly defends and enables far right behavior.

I just struggle trying to figure out which category some people/posters fall into.

1) Too stupid to understand how wrong they are
2) Understand exactly what they are doing and playing dumb
3) Actually want this type of behavior (it's nuanced from the first two)
4) Troll/intentional divisive postings with no purpose other than to rile up people

I tend to look at forum join time, posting history and overall posting style to try and categorize. If you only post in CPU/Video card/hardware forums and then lob a grenade in P&N you are almost certainly #4 and if you do that and come in spewing propaganda almost word for word of Russian talking points I'm going to call you out on it.

The other three are more complicated and I'll give some people benefit of the doubt for being in #1. Unless they keep doing it over and over again which lands them in #2 or #3. And then it's basically your earned penance for being that way.

There's a 5th option. Its the "knows they're an idiot, but doesn't know just how monumental of a moron they truly are, but chooses to troll and be as stupid as possible knowing it bothers basically anyone with a fully functioning brain, wanting that behavior because its the natural state of their broken brains". This seems to explain all the remaining right wingers that post on here.

Another aspect I find rich about the right wingers complaining about people being mean is how they'll still try to act all tough in OT while simultaneously openly complaining that they're too fucking chickenshit to even post in here any more (they'll dip back in very occasionally before running off again pretty much immediately though). They do exactly what they bitch about and then get pissed off when its thrown back in their face. That's the real truth. They start with the shit, then can't handle it the instant they get any of it in return.

Just more bullshit attempt to reframe their own abhorrent behavior and project it onto everyone else. AKA, the standard behavior of conservatives/right wing/fascists.

You apparently aren't that cautious about what to believe as evidenced by this thread, haha.

Yes, it's probably a smart idea to get a 4th shot when they are available. It's free and easy to get - are your news sources anti-vaxx too?

This you?
Democrat run cities are shit holes. States are the same way. People are fleeing for their lives. Literally.

I can't wait until blm burn your entire cities down. You think these people are going to stop because an old white man Joe Biden is in office. Wait until you fools don't get legislation passed that they support. They'll burn your fucking house down. You idiots don't know what you have started. Enjoy. And BTW don't run to our finely run red states. We've had enough of y'all's bs.
Or this?

Or here?
(But at least here you briefly acknowledged what you've bcome)
I know this sounds like crazy right wing wacko racist nazi talk but... What if people have made a well informed logical decision to walk away from the left because they have allowed entire cities to be taken hostage to hostile and violent protestors? What if they weren't happy when they saw police that were ordered to stand down while they raped and pillaged hard working Americans businesses?
Don't mind me though. That's just racist, far right, fascist talk.

And earlier in 2020, you were going to vote Democrat, apparently?
Probably could play this same ad with ____ democratic politician and it works as well. I'll vote democrat this fall but I'm not under some illusion they are the going to save us all. Hopefully they won't be actively trying to kill us like the Republicans are.

Guess something happened after May, huh?
Like I said earlier I'm on the fence on a lot of issues. Probably 50/50 honestly. I can go either democrat or Republican. I was on board with Trump mostly because I agreed with the Republican party on more issues. I assumed his ignorance and stupidity was mostly harmless at the time. Now that we are facing the virus it's become obvious to me what a incompetent dipshit he truly is. What used to be funny or "that's just Trump" is now life and death for a lot of people. My wife and I are not at a huge risk from this virus but just enough to get my attention for sure. I definitely don't feel the Republican party has our best interests at heart. You vote for what is best for you and your family and for us it's the Democrats as of now.

I think because they think everything is fake news. Also because the reality of it hasn't set in yet mostly because it's just something that is going on somewhere else, not here. Also they think climate change is a hoax. I really don't understand their thinking. Mostly they are pretty stupid.

It's not irrational to fear this. We as a country are woefully unprepared for this. I read an article in a local paper that the DFW hospitals have like 800 ICU beds available for about 3 million people in the metro area. That's not including the nearby rural areas which have zero beds and would have to transported to the bigger hospitals. So if we have an major outbreak it would be bad. Death panels and what not. That's pretty fucking scary to me.

Sorry we don't like killing babies like you do. To us evil republicans we'd like to not see babies murdered before they have a chance to live. Why do you hate black babies? You think it's a coincidence abortion clinics are usually placed in low income black areas? How racist of you.

There is no talking with these people anymore. This is why Democrats are dumb. There is no more dialogue to be had with the vast majority of the GQP. Prepare to fight on their level and longer term, prepare for war. These people are the evil that have destroyed other countries from within throughout history. They are our Nazis, our Stalinists, our Maoists.

Why is OILFIELDTRASH not happy enough to keep TRASH in their OilField, and why are they determined to bring their TRASH out in the real world, where humans live?

I don't get it.

No one with the name OILFIELDTRASH isn't not extremely proud about this name that they give themselves, and in so doing drop the gauntlet about the very pride of their gritty community of oil-bathed trash people--hence the name--which of course only means that this person is extremely insular. And proud of their insularity. And their ignorance. And their general illiteracy.

Why, then, would such a prideful insular person deign to walk into this forum of elite ..eh, ave+ IQ people and proclaim that their proud illiterate tradition of being dead mud people that both hate you and love to be away from you, the elite of the barely-IT capable mid-level management hell...suddenly need to of course also be better and therefore superior and wiser and most more brilliant than you? And suddenly less illiterate? and suddenly less insular?

why is this?

it makes no sense.

Why, then, doesn't TRASH keep it's TRASH were TRASH belongs?

Far left liberal ideas and hate are what P&N is all about. If it wasn't for the few that actually think there wouldn't be any reason to visit at all.
Ask yourself a couple of simple questions. How many regular posters here can discus a topic without anger and personal insults? How many of those believe that their hate is completely justified and proper?
Even your response above follows the same logic "it's the republican's fault".

LOL far right white washing and playing dumb is what "greenman" is all about. If it wasn't for the fact you can't think at all you might have a point. What are you even doing here other than satisfying a contract you have with Future PLC? Go fuck yourself and your I'm A Victim Shirt. No, it's YOUR fault. Stop trying to pawn off your shortcomings and the game you play here on other Republicans. You are the bitchboi that wakes up every morning and logs in here, on cue.

He's pretty far gone. He tries to claim some moral high ground, but it's all an act. To him, far left liberal ideas == fair wages and affordable healthcare. To him, hate == calling ignorance by it's name.

I remember when he thought a "adorable deplorable t-shirt" was pretty cool. when called out on it, he's like "huh? whuh?", and true rube.
