What percentage of pittings are against liberals? I would guess most are against conservatives. I wasn’t trying to defend conservatives. I picked Bricker because his pittings are ones I remember popping up a lot and checking some of them out. I remember thinking that most of them were over relatively small things. Here’s a more recent thread from '17: # Bricker is a Pile of Shit Sculpted into Human Shape which was because of this:
That thread was a bit of a mess and drifted around a lot, but the title was a snappy insult and the thread floated around the “Latest Posts” for almost 7 months. The change to the title naming at least keeps that stuff in the thread.
My point about the conservatives was that the conservatives are pitted because of pent up rage about them rather than because of whatever they did in the OP of the pit thread. Eventually someone’s rage boils over and they start a pit thread about some minor thing just so they can get their anger out. If you don’t know who the pittees are or their background and just look at whatever is in the OP, it doesn’t really seem all that bad whatever they’ve done. It’s not like Bricker was trying to bring back slavery or anything. They mostly seem like NC-17 ad hominem attacks rather than trying to clear up an actual issue. But I guess that’s the point, so everything is working as it should.
