Only one of the two is an actual threat. And it’s not the people coming here to pick our lettuce.
Just too dumb.
What the fuck is this anyway? I thought we had a deal. You said you wouldn’t respond to me as long as I kept insulting you. Well here I am holding up my end by saying that you’re, “Too fucking dumb to get out of your own way,” and you’re going back on your word by responding anyway.
What a douche.
When did I say I wouldn’t respond to you?
This is a tiny, tiny minority position and I am unaware of any major public figure who advocates it, nor is it the position of the Democratic Party. So against whom is the White Power Caucus arguing? Who are you talking about?
Somewhere in the middle of your non-stop defense of a racist manifesto, that even known racists are backing away from, you implied it. Honestly it’s very difficult to sift through all your posts defending a racist manifesto to find it, and I can see why you’d forget it among all the posts you made defending a racist manifesto.
Really, what’s it like being the kind of person who defends a racist manifesto for two straight days? What do you get out of two days of strawmanning and sealioning in defense of a racist manifesto?
You made the claim; you should back it up.
I could easily back it up if I felt like it, I even know the post number, but I don’t feel like it, so fuck off.
If you can’t keep track of all the stupid shit you posted in this thread, I’m not going to do it for you. Not my problem and I don’t feel like playing your sealion games.
You stated that I’m going back on my word. I’m perfectly content to see you add the claim that you could back it up but won’t — that’s what plenty of folks would say if they couldn’t, after all — and I’d be just as content if, every time you make a claim going forward, you’d add that you, uh, could totally back it up, but, er, just don’t feel like it, is all, yeah, that’s the ticket.
I can see why you’d want to change the subject. I’d be embarrassed too if I posted the shit you did in this thread.
However, focusing on a battle you think you can win (you can’t) is not going to erase your days long defense of racism. You’ve been revealed to be an enormous piece of shit and that won’t change whether I back up my claim or not (I can).
This deserves to be on a plaque on the SDMB wall.
So the Greene-Gosar Manifesto goes down in flames, showing there still are some things that will make the American Ultraright go “NO, man! You DON’T come right out and SAY it!” That just shows what happens when they try to do it themselves instead of paying one of the professional bullshitters like Bannon.
(BTW didn’t The Formerly Orange One also seem to have some sort of bug up his fundament about modernist architecture in public buildings? WTF is it with these people and architecture?)
Meanwhile, if there is ever a People Organically Unable to Back Down Caucus, they would have a rich recruiting pool among current and former SDMB posters.
They’re attracted to mighty erections?
That’s only if her goal was to form a caucus or do something governmenty.
If her goal was to get a bunch of money - this was exactly the right move.
- Propose a flat out racist, but sure to fail idea, the racists rush out to give the PAC money.
- Pull it back after two or three days, with a flimsy excuse.
- Have “people” float the idea that it was pulled back due to liberal badness of some sort (cancel culture, un-American-ness, chronic halitosis, whatever… it isn’t really important.) and the people who might not have been motivated by the racism, will definitely be motivated by hurting libs and give even more money.
- repeat every 4-6 months
It’s nice, simple, legal, and has the side effect of disrupting the Democratic agenda.
They all think they’re Howard Roark.
Check out posts 176 - 178. The implied bargain he perceived you to be offering is pretty clearly there.
That’s a better analogy than mine. Some people find it seems really great when they first start swallowing it; it’s addictive; and it’ll destroy you and everything in your life that you thought you cared about. And the lives of innocents about you who refused to try the stuff.
If that’s what you want, the people who wrote that caucus policy document are most definitely not your friends. They are rather less your friends than the people inviting you down for that nice vacation at their lovely condos if you’ll just give them your birthdate and credit card number.
Wow.
So you’re perfectly willing to believe that anyone and possibly everyone who says they don’t want open borders actually does want or can easily be gotten to approve entirely open borders; and to use that as an excuse to not vote for people whose policies are exactly what you say you want.
But you’re not remotely willing to believe that people blatantly talking about the need to make the USA an “Anglo-Saxon” country could possibly be white supremacists.
Doesn’t twisting your mind around like that make your head hurt?
No, I said “some of ‘em wouldn’t budge into getting it wrong”. Said it right there in the bit you copy-and-pasted.
No, I’m willing to believe that, too.
::shrugs:: If so, he’s incorrect: he is welcome to insults if he prefers them, like I said; and, if he changes his mind, I am obliging. His claim: “You said you wouldn’t respond to me as long as I kept insulting you.” That’s — not what I said. His claim: “you’re going back on your word by responding”. But I’m not going back on my word; I didn’t give him my word.
You’re right. I missed that bit, there at the end of all that language about how many people who say they don’t want open borders either are lying or will go along with them anyway. My head was already spinning from the rest of it.
So you’re agreeing that the people who made the statement you’ve been defending are white supremacists?
Yes, specifically Brutalism, which was pretty oddly specific. It would sort of make sense if he were only into other styles such as classical or mediterranean, if you ignore the governmental micromanagement, but the original Trump Tower is in the same vaguely-minimal wing of modern architecture but still manages to be as ugly as his gold-plated boardrooms.
