    The Tangent, Derail, and Argument Thread

    Because at least when it's the farmers calling the shots, we have fucking food and water. This is NOT the case when it's the big cities calling the shots, as demonstrated well by California routinely fucking over its own agriculture by diverting water to the cities, which then fucks over the...

    Most controversial or unpopular political/economic/social opinions?

    Authoritarian is generally used in accusations of state power being used to enforce social standards, rather than being limited to legal ones. For example, the "Moral Panic" conservatives (though it was once-a-fucking-gain Democrats doing the legislation) are name-called as Authoritarian due to...

    The Tangent, Derail, and Argument Thread

    I'm autistic. I'm pretty damn sure I'm in the line of fire a hell of a lot before them, or not exactly far off in the slightest. If the point was to bring up where the train of logic ends, then this is something that needs mentioned in the same post, instead of as a way of dismissing everything...

    The Tangent, Derail, and Argument Thread

    Are you suggesting that all people with mental disorders should be put in an asylum? Are you saying I deserve to be put in a mental asylum? Because in that very quote, I point out that I'm autistic myself. Which is a large chunk of why the sort of response you're giving here pisses me off...

    The Tangent, Derail, and Argument Thread

    As should be clearly indicated by the message quoted in the post you replied to, the goal in question is to prevent mass shooter levels of radicalization. As mass shootings only take one nutjub, the better path is largely to leash the nutjobs in how far off the deep end they can go, rather than...

    Are Trump Supporters Racist?

    This is about excusing his supporters, not Trump himself. As per the thread topic of whether or not his supporters are racist. If you pay attention to politics now, you can't get away from a constant barrage of shallow accusations, ones that are easily argued as xenophobic or nationalist if not...

    Are Trump Supporters Racist?

    I have a simple counter-argument: He's been the President the last four years. Everyone with even small amounts of attention given to politics can't get away from him being called racist over the last four years. In terms of serious incidents, I'd expect not, but in terms of the actual...

    The Tangent, Derail, and Argument Thread

    Except that's actually more reason for citation, because you have wrong information to counteract. They provide lies, you provide truth while simultaneously disproving those lies. You have never engaged in this with me. Even though I've specifically asked for it. Many times. And changed my mind...

    Are Trump Supporters Racist?

    You can support him over only that, and most of the accusations of him being racist are over that, in case you've been buried under a rock the last four years. The policies of immigration restriction can be supported for racist reasons, xenophobic ones, purely opposition to the left-fringe open...

    Are Trump Supporters Racist?

    Once again, nationality is not race, and xenophobia is not racism. Wanting a hard border and using punitive deterrence to enforce it, which is the actual policy position taken, is not actually racist, and doesn't have to be xenophobic. It fundamentally can't be because it concerns itself with...

    Ravelry bans support of Trump

    See The Tangent, Derail and Argument Thread for my responses.

    The Tangent, Derail, and Argument Thread

    Social democracy, and there's a rather important difference: See my previous post for why this entire block including me is wildly off base. Also, do you have anything to show that inequality is actually any kind of point of the policy? That isn't inference of what can very well be...

    The Tangent, Derail, and Argument Thread

    (moving to Tangent and Derail Thread because this now has nothing to do with Ravelry) The initial statement rests on the fact they and/or their families come from shithole countries and are calling for large changes. How the government is to operate. They have relatively easy claims to...

    Ravelry bans support of Trump

    It's a matter of "go prove your ridiculously outside the norm plans actually fucking work before you bet America on it by unfucking where you came from with those plans". Or, to use your comparison, "Go overthrow Castro and get it working over there before you demand socialism in America". The...

    Ravelry bans support of Trump

    To give the actual text of the tweets that started these accusations: "Then come back and show us how it is done". Go to their shithole homelands, fix those places, then come back to tell Americans how they did it.
