Don't you have some MS-13 gang members to defend from being called meany names?
This is good stuff, a creative piece of verbal humiliation in my opinion. But if you look closely, I think, you will find that the satisfaction you derive in its execution, while it may feel terrific, is superficial temporally speaking. It will not last and you will feel an urge to repeat that satisfaction over and over again. I think it may have been Socrates who pointed such things out 2000 or so years ago, that for so many their notion of happiness amounts to the desire to have an itch one can enjoy scratching forever. It's like having a hurt you spend your life avenging instead of healing the wound. Good luck.

You complete me.*













*I'm the top half.

OK, before I rain shit on the lefty's holy war, I just want to say this is the funniest goddamned thing I've read all week. Bravo.

I am 100% for having horrible human beings reminded that they're horrible human beings until they publicly denounce their actions and reverse course, or step far out of the hallways of power. Call 'em. Mail 'em. Yell at 'em at restaurants and on the sidewalks. Make them unemployable.

Here's the thing I don't think the lefties comprehend. Morality is highly subjective and personal. Political discourse is now considered "war" and those you disagree with are all horrible and should be unemployable. It won't be long before some enterprising conservative nerd hacks into Planned Parenthood's servers and outs women and children who've had an abortion....because, you know, horrible human beings need to be reminded they are horrible human beings. This is war after all. Find them wherever they are, scream and shame them, make them unemployable.

This is what you idiots want and this is the shit you idiots will be served. Congratulations.

You got that wrong. What people here are contemplating is levelling with the right and engage them at their own game... So if anyone is catching up its the left... alt right declared war years ago..

Edit: And dont worry about hacking the abortion clinic, the second that makes for alt right gain your ally in crime Putin will get that hacked for you.. You idiots are tools just like the skinheads, while the psychopaths move you around like pawns on a chessboard.. Guess who gets sacrificed first? You.

Your bizarre revenge fantasy aside, it’s frankly baffling that you think whether or not some conservative decides to do that is based on what liberals do.

Where do you think up this nonsense?

Not fantasy, just a prediction. I don't post here much anymore because of the poison this shit represents....and if you don't think that some conservative will decide to do something because lefties are perceived to be doing it to them, just witness this thread for a good number of lefties are enjoying this tactic because it's what conservatives have been doing to them. Just the latest example:

I find it interesting to see the conversations going with the moral relativism argument now. While I agree that morality is subjective and personal, it is only to a point. A society must agree on some minimum level of morality for it to hold together. We are not arguing over some obscure points of morality, or even ones that are mostly irrelevant. We are arguing over basic decency, and standards of behavior that are needed to maintain a civil society.

Yes I’m sure some conservative had the opportunity to hack planned parenthood and expose that database and said ‘nah, liberals are nice people so I’ll just put this data back’.

I mean think about how dumb that sounds.

Oh I definitely do, haha. Whether or not someone would take the action you described depends 0% on how mean liberals are.

You said something transparently silly and acted out some weird revenge fantasy.

Yeah, abortion doctors have already been literally murdered, but for them to hack an abortion clinic, well it takes a liberal to do something like that first...

It’s a variation on the idea that conservatives voted for Trump because liberals were mean to them.

Apparently in our society only liberals have agency and responsibility for their actions.

You don't understand what's happening here. "War" as used here means exactly what you see. A few people venting and believing that posting on a semi dead forum is in some way damaging the evil right. This is it, this is the big play, this is how they're going to defeat Trump and his deplorable minions. I recommended voting, and was vilified for suggesting such an absurd idea.
Don't take any of it seriously. There are one or two that only know how to express themselves with vulgarity, just add them to the ignore list. Not that I have any issue with being vulgar, it's just that they aren't the least bit creative about it.

I really don't understand Corn's post either... His "side" is the one that changed the rules a few years ago and now that the dems are slowly (somewhat indiciously) growing a set of balls NOW it's a problem? What the living fuck is wrong with these bubble dwellers. I won't give disingenuous cry babies the time of day...

I cant speak for anyone else, but I just joined the party, I will be one of those nutters using my spare time to put up posters and signs come election day and in the rally crowds ill be just another drop in the bucket.. As a software engineer, super nerd and national guard practitioner I am sure we can find other good use of my skills towards the cause as well.
At least I can tell my children that I tried.
Fuck the right.

edit: someone politely pointed out a spelling mistake.

We are arguing over basic decency, and standards of behavior that are needed to maintain a civil society.
The argument is over who decides what the standards are. Case in point is the recent drama over enforcing border laws. Two factions are involved. One wants to enforce the law, the other wants to ignore the law. That's the battle. Hard and fast rules with deviations being a rare exception or fluid rules that suit moods and desires or that can be ignored all together based on whims.

This thread was started with a declaration of war. I see no reason to not take that declaration seriously. Confirmation requires only to read through the posts in this thread. The thing about wars is that they sometimes escalate. This particular war has everything required for that to happen. Anyone paying attention will understand that in fact it has already escalated. The Internet makes it very convenient to conduct that war with words. But it has spilled over into actions. A year ago it was a gunman shooting at Republicans practicing for a baseball game. That's not going to be the end of it. Ask any progressive if that accomplished their goal.

The faction that lost the last national election will not accept that they lost. They're mad, war has been declared right here and it's Purch approved. Their website says right on the home page "We're doing great things".

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. - George Orwell

Who wants to be the first to call this peace?
