Octopus here's your own thread to shit all over

Nah, I’m more of a Boomhauer.

You clowns who infest at least two forums for the purpose of stirring up snark and drama have no room to talk about trolling.

Funny how when the peaceful protests of the burn, loot, mayhem movement were attacking a federal court, occupied and trashed police stations, terrorized businesses, sexually assaulted people, etc. all under the implicit and sometimes explicit approval of democrat mayors, governor, and DAs you snakes aren’t bothered at all. You hypocrits need to be disgusted by what you see in the mirror instead of the one holding the mirror.

1125

Look this is not a thread for your sadistic religious nuttery. Can you please share your mentally disturbed rantings where witnessing is more appropriate?

1126

I think most people were bothered by it. But it’s a whole other level of deplorable to try to subvert democracy by storming the seat of government while they’re trying to certify election results.

“One of the darkest days in American history,” is different then “somebody broke windows at Old Navy.”

1127

That’s a false analogy. Burning police stations, courthouses, and attacking police and state property is a better comparison. You don’t see me posting to complain that the hive didn’t condemn every instance of petty crime do you? No. I posted that the left supported and supports mob violence directed against state and private property and individuals in order to advance a political agenda. The anger you see directed at me is that the leftist members of this board know I am right and are engaged in yet another one of their games of misdirection.

It’s not an issue of right or wrong for the leftists here. It’s a matter of control.

1128

The same violence that most of us here on the Dope as well as most democratic politicians like Joe Biden already condemned? Fuck off, troll.

1129

Oh you belatedly agree? I guess that is progress.

1130

I never supported the opportunistic criminals who used the protests to loot, and I said so at the time, you sad sack of crap

1131

Nope, not funny that you willfully ignore that me and virtually all democrats and many other posters did not approve of the violence.

It is clear that you can’t face that simple fact because then it would show your incapable tentacle brains that you are even wrong about your “hive” mind accusations.

1132

So you are beginning to think for yourself. Maybe the hive is not for you. You truly think minimum wage is useful so :octopus:-land is out. I’m not sure what column to have you under in the spreadsheet.

1133

I wouldn’t come to :octopus: -land except as part of a Calamari raiding party :wink:

Eta: this was meant in jest, I do not advocate that we eat @octopus

1134

Shouldn’t it be obvious that if one doesn’t fit under a characterization then I’m not referring to that person? I don’t see this tsk-tsking when the subject is re-education camps for the right.

1135

Uh, Babale explained that thinking for himself took place a long time ago, you still need to activate many of your brain cells.

1136

Not when that was explained to you many times in the past, but thanks for giving others evidence about your willful and fake ignorance when going for the wide brush accusations in your replies.

1137

I don’t see a single poster here using 400 pages of qualifiers before making an assertion. I’m not adhering to a double standard of expectations to spare the feelings of the woke.

1138

My feelings aren’t hurt. At most I get exasperated that conversations in written form are so much harder than verbal.

1139

Only that me and others did, but thanks for showing others how incompetent you are too.

1140

You come in complaining that leftists on this board are giant hyoocrites, without distinguishing among us at all, implying that somehow we’ve all been holding pitchforks and celebrating the violence that broke out at some BLM rallies - a categorically false claim - and you expect not only that we shouldn’t feel offended by your gross mischaracterization, but also that we should be interested in anything you have to say. I think this is unreasonable.

I think the real problem here is that you’re preaching to to the goddamn choir but you’re so caught up in your ideology you don’t even realize it. You’ve beat the horse to death. An overwhelming majority here believe that violence is bad. Let it go.

1141

I feel the opposite way. If this were an in-person conversation I’d splutter in silence and finally come up with a response five hours later.

But it’s definitely harder to read tone in a message board post.

1142

You’ve been claiming that a random subset represents the whole of the Democratic Party incessantly for over six fucking months, you disingenuous shitwhistle.

And if anyone has trouble decoding my “tone”, PM me and I’ll clarify.

1143

While denying that such claims apply at least equally to a much larger subset of the Republican Party.

* Tiny, and strongly rebutted, minority of Democrats/liberals thinks that protestor violence/looting/rioting during BLM or anti-police-brutality protests is justifiable *

octopus: You Democrats/liberals are just so disgracefully violent and anarchistic and hypocritical! That does it, I’m voting for Trump just to show you how unfit I think Democrats/liberals are to be trusted with governance!

* Large majorities of Republican/conservative voters and politicians express support for the openly mendacious, irrational, incompetent, anti-democracy, corrupt Trump administration and endorse his baseless fabrications about electoral “fraud” and other imaginary conspiracies *

octopus: How dare you Democrats/liberals try to condemn Republicans/conservatives in general for the actions of some random subset of them!
