Yes, I’m sure a few backpats totally make up for having your suicide attempt mocked…
Not saying that, you neutron star dense nattering nabob. As even your last post showed to all, you still have a lot of reading comprehension problems. I just said that clearly you and other posters fail to notice how manipulated they were by the right wing, even when evidence for it is presented, the manipulation is also ignored.
One big example was the manufactured CRT controversy, it is not an old thing and the reasons why it is being opposed by many bigots are also old.
You engaged me. I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you were willing to have a non-condescending conversation, sans petulant eye rolling, etc. I see that you still can’t help yourself and continue to be a complete bellend. Do you see why I see no point in engaging with you?
1063 posts deep into a thread that is largely about how GIGOBuster cannot distinguish “disagreeing with me” from “being a conservative” and we’re still getting “we know people who oppose CRT are conservatives because they oppose CRT, which makes them conservative” - in response to posts that have nothing to do with the correctness of CRT, of course.
You could set your watch to it, if the engineering skills needed to make mechanical watches weren’t being driven out of education by CRT race-war training.
See, this is where you sound like a complete and utter loon. If only you’d stopped with the previous paragraph.
Wrong again, even I’m aware that many Democrats in the past were fooled by the bigots back then. The point stands, you were taken for a ride by conservative propaganda regarding CRT. That your next post will likely show to others that you don’t care that you will follow the designs of the bigots of today regarding that issue is not my problem, but yours.
Because you don’t have an actual valid answer for why you’re defending transphobic bigots over their own victim, so would rather play possum? But I’m the “petulant” one? There aren’t enough in the world, motherfucker.
Fuck off to Snowflake Land, then, wanker. I’m certainly not going to spare such a pitiful “both sides flounced, so they’re no different” argument any of the eyerolls and invective it so richly deserves, asshole. Condescension is more than that shit-for-brains excuse for a “conversation” deserves
And one correction here:
One big example was the manufactured CRT controversy, it is really an old thing and the reasons why it is being opposed by many bigots are also old.
Got a “not” there by mistake, and there are ancient reasons why the right wing in the US has also swallowed yet another conspiracy theory now.
Seek help.
Learn what “not engaging” means, first, asswipe.
The truth is, the internet is not a safe place, and neither is the SDMB. Especially not the SDMB (see The Pit). Any message board is going to have a wide variety of members with all different degrees of support for different causes. There are people on all sides of the discussion. If a subset of the people saying harsh things causes someone to leave, then truthfully, the SDMB is probably not the place for them. The discussions we have about any kind of social, political, or racial issue will often be very contentious. It’s very likely that some people in the thread will say things that might seem offensive, but many people in the thread will also say things which are not. If someone can get so offended by what one person says and ignore what other people are saying, then they probably won’t enjoy hanging around here no matter what is being discussed.
Getting back to the OP, there are boards which are completely liberal. So rather than saying that the conservatives should be booted from the SDMB, the people who find conservatives offensive could go to the boards which are only for liberals. Then they could have the one-sided, non-controversial discussion with just liberals and not deal with the conservatives being contentious.
I have a special message for conservatives: The Democrats want you to avoid the vaccine. How do you feel now?
They want you to avoid strychnine too. The nerve. You can show them a thing or two.
Question: How the fuck isn’t there a band called Strychnine?
I’m glad we’ve established that I’m not a conservative (Democratic voter, got vaccine as soon as I was eligible, have been pushing others to get it and supporting vaccine mandates - note that this will definitely not stop GIGOBuster from accusing me of being an anti-vaxxer at least one more time in this thread).
Question for you - given that vaccine refusal in the U.S. is highest among black populations, do you think that:
*The reasons for vaccine ignorance might not be exclusively due to people pledging loyalty to “conservative” politicians or ideas?
*The rhetoric around race in the elite spaces that influence policy over the past 2-3 years, which makes it impossible to attribute any negative behavior or mores to any black American no matter what they say or do, has directly led to an increase in black people suffering consequences from covid up to and including death, and to the general failure to bring the pandemic below herd immunity levels?
I’m speaking directly to the demagogue righties who deny science on tv and elsewhere. Dr Ronny Jackson for one example last night. Lying his own people to death.
Black people may or may not fit into this group. Some do and some don’t. Why do you care? Do you always bring up black people in every conversation?
I haven’t seen that many black public figures out and against the vaccine. Have you? Black people may have reasons other than demagoguery to avoid medical advice.
There’s trump conservatives and non trump conservatives. Which ones are the ones this thread supposed to be about? Conservatives chime in.

I voted against Trump…

Honestly the fact that it’s a song by an influential band makes it even more egregious that it isn’t a band name.
Well…what about that sound? It was exactly right, right?
