Poe’s Law is in force. This is played so straight:
Um, dude, that’s textbook racism.

Can I get a list, please, of what American Values are? Because, goddammit, it sure seems to depend on who it is that’s talking about them.
I vote “not for real.”
I realize it comes across as terribly smug for liberals to claim that a conservative poster must be a troll. But honestly it would be more bias-confirming for me to think **Construct **was sincere. His posts are easily the most over-the-top of any poster here, save maybe one or two well-known cases.
He used the word intersectionality in a thread. The Venn Diagram of overt racists who know that word is pretty much just two separate circles.
He does seem to be good at matching whole rows of racism bingo in his posts.
His posts are generally memorable for their complete lack of substance in my opinion.
He also used “beg the question” correctly. I was amazed.
But yeah. He’s either a troll, or David Dukes.
You’re incompetent and this is a bad pitting. I deserve better, so here are some of my more memorable posts (bolding added):
(this one got a mod note)
The problem is one of progressive’s own creation; bleeding heart liberals who are desperate to save criminal scum make mountains out of every molehill in the execution process. The reason the government can’t use the safe and effective drugs veterinarians use to put down animals is because public pressure campaigns instituted against manufacturers of those drugs (of course, by death penalty opponents) have prevented those drugs from being sold to governments that use the death penalty. This then forces the government to use marginally less effective drugs, and of course progressives are happy to complain about a problem that they themselves created.
The real issue is that the debate is on false pretenses. Criminals didn’t give their victims painless deaths, and so the state has no obligation to do so either. But the debate has been co-opted by one side who argue about whether the drugs are perfectly painless, when we really should be discussing whether murderers and traitors deserve comfortable deaths at all.
(this thread was even in GQ at the time)
Yeah, giving tens of millions of people whose only relation to Europe is a tiny toehold conquered via warfare and who aren’t part of the European cultural tradition free and permanent access to Europe is surely a good idea. Diversity is our strength and everyone knows the concepts that comprise the Western way of life, such as freedom of religion, non-violence and constitutional republics, are very important to Muslims.
The Muslims may have been stopped at the border of France and then at the gates of Vienna, by the grace of God, the third time will be charm. They have a force more powerful than any army – they have millions of leftists desperate to signal their support for ‘human rights’ and Islam on their side.
If you don’t agree that Europe needs some cultural enrichment from people who earn 10K/year and whose polity was in near-continuous decline for three centuries, you’re obviously Islamophobic and probably also racist.

This is most of it, though there’s a couple less notable posts I left out.
Knowledge of Latin America is not his strong suit. Pinochet most certainly did not create a western-style government, he overthrow one, replacing it with a military dictatorship of extraordinary brutality. Then again, Construct appears to be confusing economic arrangements with political ones.
Of course, I don’t think Construct is for real so it doesn’t much matter.
ETA: I didn’t see Construct’s post above before posting mine. Case closed.
The Pit that Pits itself … well done Construct
Not just anybody doubles down like that. I’m impressed, albeit appalled.
What the hell is wrong with this board’s moderators? Why isn’t he banned? God this board is only good for lulz now.
He seems like your bog standard white nationalist, nothing unusual. They don’t tend to be particularly liberal, though I’ve seen a few.
Dammit, this is what I get for being so amused by hi post. Everyone wants to take away my fun.
You’re incompetent and this is a bad pitting. I deserve better, so here are some of my more memorable posts (bolding added):

I’m thinking, “no”.
Where’s the line between trolling and reductio ad absurbum?
…Of course, I don’t think Construct is for real so it doesn’t much matter…

Well, his username is “Construct”. I’m guessing he’s a caprophobic bridge-dweller, who’s in it for the evulz. Thus, not worth engaging.

Poe’s Law. It’s not like this board hasn’t seen a lot of others with similar opinions.
Though this thread might provide some more discussion fodder for them…
(I’m not sure if the sequel belongs here, or in the IMHO thread. I’ve posted it to both.)
… Zimbabwe probably should abandon Marxism, fly in Chicago school economists, and establish a government based on Lockean principles, they almost certainly won’t. It’s not impossible for non-White societies to create Western style governments, as Pinochet’s Chile and Singapore can attest, but it is very uncommon. And as such, if the US wants to maintain a traditional American government and way of life, we need to maintain traditional American people: Whites.
How about blacks, whose ancestors have been in U.S.A. longer than Irish, Italian immigrants, etc.? Or 2nd-generation immigrants from Asian and Hispanic cultures? Or 1st-generation immigrants for that matter who become U.S. citizens? Are they incapable of voting intelligently, or do you just not like how they vote?
Knowledge of Latin America is not his strong suit. Pinochet most certainly did not create a western-style government, he overthrow one, replacing it with a military dictatorship of extraordinary brutality. Then again, Construct appears to be confusing economic arrangements with political ones.

Yes. But Pinochet is a go-to paradigm for Hyperlibertarians to point to as a real-world paradigm. Other examples proposed include (1) U.S.A. before FedRes, SEC, EPA, SocSec etc., i.e. 1920’s-era America; (2) Somalia(!), (3) medieval Ireland(!!).
(Nevermind whether the troll would present as HyperLib if probed. This post isn’t about him.)
IOW, who else they got? The opportunities for new economo-political systems arose at the Soviet Fall, but Russia finished with a thugocracy. The Adventure in Iraq was undertaken by many as a demonstration by the NeoRepublicans – they would nurture a prosperous and vibrant new democracy, (which would then gratefully return much of its oil revenue to its liberators). With the Adventure failing, the Hyperlibs are stuck with … with what? Pinochet’s Chile is the best to be conjured up!?! Appropriate since the Hyperlibs are about nothing if it isn’t Property Rights, and such rights do dictate armed forces adequate to protect property owners.
(In fairness to HyperLibs: Although GWB hired young Republicans to administer Iraq who were demented enough to fall for the italicized clause, most toilet-trained Libs are smart enough to reject the whole Adventure against Gog and Magog in Iraq.)
