What are you, 12 years old? 'cos that’s the mentality of a person who pats himself on the back for “doing something” despite it being un- (or counter-) productive.
Who got followed to their home there? And is that supposed to make it OK now?
Say it with me! If you want to beat them, BE better than them. Good cannot come from evil, light cannot come from darkness, be the change you want to see, etc, etc…
No, I didn’t say they were about stopping the hate. I said they were holding signs that said “Stop the hate.” There’s a difference. I described. I didn’t advocate. You read what you wanted to read instead of what was actually there.
Conservatives used to be a lot better at looking at the basic facts. Now they embrace conspiracy at every turn instead of looking at the actual picture. No wonder Trump got elected.
I agree that I don’t give a shit if Tucker Carlson feels safe. I do however think that the optics of a protest are one of the most important aspects of it. Being seen to be the sociopaths does not fucking help anyone, and makes you a selfish asshole to do it.
And we don’t just have the guy’s word for it, which I would agree would be suspect. We have actual posts from them that got them banned from Twitter.
I’m all for protests and fighting. Even civil disobedience. If the other side starts the violence, I’m okay with you defending yourself. I’m okay with dressing in intimidating ways and showing that any violence will be met in kind.
But the second you cross into threatening to harm the person you are protesting, you are just selfishly expressing your anger. You aren’t helping anyone, and the entire point is to help people.
I’m even okay with Antifa being a bit of a boogeyman, scaring people in the shadows. That can work. Actually threatening violence on someone who is not being violent towards you, though? That always makes you look like a bad guy.
I hate Carlson. I don’t really want him to feel safe while promoting bigotry and shit. But I still unequivocally condemn this protest. And I fucking hate that we’re going to have to try and clean up their mess.
Just because there is no fixed doctrine doesn’t mean they can’t have generally agreed upon a symbol.
LGBT people don’t have a fixed doctrine, but there are flags for the various subgroups, as well as the group as a whole. Christianity has separate groups with doctrine, but nothing everyone agrees on, but we have symbols that mean Christianity.
There is an anarchy symbol. It is a particular stylized capital A in a circle.
The Tuckers of the world won’t even admit that their shitty hate speech helps to cause actual violence. but they whine like there’s no tomorrow when people get in their face for being a piece of shit.
This man has plenty of defenses, in fact he has a national bullhorn to protest his treatment. He targets people who can’t defend themselves against the onslaught of hate he spews.
So yeah, yeah I don’t agree with the threats and stalking because it doesn’t help overall, but truthfully, I’m not gonna lose any sleep over it. And some of it (the fact that he was uncomfortable) may even make me sleep better. He deserves to be uncomfortable.
You can yell about Jews and Blacks and accuse people of faking their birth certificate, specifically blame the left for creating fake news but when people start throwing buckets of shit at your head, I won’t be throwing any but don’t look at me for a defense or support.
Just for context, Christine Blasey Ford, for the crime of coming forward about being sexually assaulted, still needs a security detail and has moved 4 times because of persistent rape and death threats. Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson got protesters in front of his house and some spray-paint on his driveway for the crime of… turning “spreading racist conspiracy theories” into a full-time job.
I hadn’t thought of his kids (I feel about as bad for his wife as I feel for the wife of any other goddamn nazi; she knows what he’s about) and that’s on me. They deserve to feel at least as safe as any of the asylum-seekers Carlson has repeatedly smeared. But god damn. If Carlson got a functional pipe bomb in the mail and lost his pretty, punchable face, I’d feel about as bad as he felt for George Soros, i.e. not at all. He’s an incredibly charismatic propagandist for the worst parts of humanity, and him dying would probably be a good thing.
Fuck him. Fuck anyone that looks like him. Fuck the horse he rode in on. He’s been spreading lies and hate. Time for him to get a taste of what he’s been peddling.
What?’ That’s not nice? It’s not civil?
Fuck him, that stinkin’ snowflake bastard.
That’s just doing away with PC and tellin’ it like it is. Can’t handle it? Fuck him.
