I don’t agree with his extent of crazy, but if one were to believe his views, and the Right consists only of murderous thugs, then yes, it would make sense that only violence can stop murderous thugs.
It’s not like the Right hasn’t been constantly expressing their desire for the mass murder of everyone that disagrees with them.
“At this point, we’re living under corporate and medical fascism. This is tyranny. When do we get to use the guns?” the man asked, to applause from the crowd. “No, and I’m not – that’s not a joke. I’m not saying it like that. I mean, literally, where’s the line? How many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people?”
Charlie Kirk rebukes man who wants to kill Democrats. It's not enough
In case anyone has already forgotten “medical fascism” meaning asking folks to wear masks in the middle of a fucking plandemic pandemic.
Perhaps brevity is not the soul of wit.
I know where Eyeore lives, in his pitifull small house in the Hundred Acre Wood.
I don’t think you were clear at all, but maybe everyone else got it?
but his friends love him anyway, and they never try to make him be someone else or get him on meds. Same with Tigger and Piglet and Rabbit.
I made a comment right after Trump was elected.
I was reeling like a lot of us were. And my comment was a bunch of my rationalizing how we should keep our Dem. Heads down and just get thru this 4 yrs.(Not knowing exactly what was coming down on the USA).
He said I(people like me) was the problem not the solution.
I didn’t mind the comment, I’ve been told I’m a problem before.
But what did he want a person to do? Go on a killing spree or send poison letters.
Personally I’d rather help than destroy. In my small way.
His posts are sad. He’s a sad individual. Nothing positive, nothing good, everything bad and negative. Am thankful I don’t have that outlook or mindset.

Me too.
There’s a little good everyday. You just gotta find it.
I hope he really isn’t so sad and fearful.

I used to mock Der relentlessly: I apologized for that in ATMB and my apology stands. Trumpism vindicated Der’s worldview. Liberals have a small blindspot for deception and a large blindspot for malice, and Der is a corrective for that.
-
Der has unhinged posts, but also an iron will. He consistently obeys moderator instructions.
-
I predict Der won’t respond to this thread, which is smart because it would probably devolve into a pile-on. Again, iron will.
Der’s style doesn’t mesh very well in philosophical threads, and he doesn’t appear to be aware of that. Though bad faith definitely exists in the world, there also exist good faith arguments for bad positions. We’re here to fight ignorance so proper discussion shouldn’t be limited to cynical amateur sociological observations of the conservative grouping.

@kimstu said it best: someone needs to gift Der a big box of qualifiers.

(Der’s response is that he tried that once and was accused of using weasel words. But honestly only one poster liked to make such accusations and I think he’s left the board anyway. Weaseling exists, but good writers know how to strike the proper balance between clarity and accuracy.)
Agreed. When this first popped up yesterday I briefly wondered if he would post in this thread. I thought about it for a second and reached much the same conclusion. I’m sure he’s peeked in here just out of curiosity, but I don’t expect him to post. I’m sure he is very aware of his reputation on the board and what other people think of him. I don’t think he much cares if he gets pitted.
Well, of course. Those who dislike him are motivated by the desire to murder him and grind his body into food for eels, while those who support him are also motivated by the same desire but just don’t say it out loud.
