You’re a sack of shit for suggesting that the community endorses this kind of violence by anyone. Your pathetic ass needs to go away and I have a feeling that your time has finally come. ---

Where have I supported an insurrection? The hive needs to get out of the habit of making stuff up. Please provide a cite where I support mob violence, extrajudicial violence, or insurrection. I’m not like some of you damaged souls wishing for prison rape, for politicians to die, or for the mass extinction of inconvenient demographics. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > Where have I supported an insurrection? On the part where you ignorantly claimed this is ok until violence takes place. Thing is, and thanks for showing too that you are a mollusk that can’t read, that already violence and even a bomb was defused by police and destruction of doors and windows was seen made by the trumpsters. And there you go again willfully ignoring that I was not in favor of past violence, that alone is perfect evidence that you are not able to think properly with your tentacle brains. ---

I never claimed it was ok. Be angry about things that actually occur. I said it’s no surprise that when political violence is excused it will escalate. ---

Yeah, Democrats were the party of white supremacists before the white supremacists migrated to the Republican party. 150 years ago, I woulda been a Republican (or, rather, Fusion party 120 years ago), and you woulda been a Democrat. I don’t give a wet fart about parties. It’s the white supremacists I’m talking about, whether you’ve got a D or an R or a K-N lapel pin. ---

Your reading is as bad as your knowledge of history. Just because you are pro mob violence and I am not does not make me a Democrat of today or in the past. Favoring process over mob violence is not white supremacy you simpleton. ---

Oh for Christ’s sake, we’re really still pretending we never heard about Atwater’s “southern strategy”? I don’t know if you’re really this dense, or just that committed to your particular comedy bit, but shit like this is what makes you look like an absolute joke.
