Do Magellan and Ditka and these other idiots come through a membrane from a different reality? Because their grasp of our reality is completely confused. Or maybe this is the way stupidity gets reinforced in post-rational America. Even for the most mundane stories, Magellan, Clothahump, etc. provide cites that point to [StupidityIsUs.com](http://StupidityIsUs.com), Nonsense\_Lies.ru, Dumb\_rightwing\_troll\_posting \_from\_his\_parents\_garage.org and “news sources” of that ilk. Do they have no self-awareness? Do they have even a clue how stupid they appear to the rest of us? It would be really hard to believe that Alex Jones and Sean Hannity had millions of viewers, except that we can see the evidence right here with Magellan et al. Heaven Help America. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > If I’m parsing this correctly, you are trying to say that slugging a Nazi for killing a black person is worse than the Nazi actually killing a black person because it’s morally ambiguous and some people might approve of it? That specific example does make my point look ludicrous. But no, I’m saying that there is more danger to society in giving up freedom because of noble sounding reasons than when a threat to freedom is obvious. The reason I take a harder line with Antifa on these boards than I do with Nazis is that everyone knows real Nazis are bad and they are a very fringe movement with very little support. But the idea that free speech or freedom to assemble as concepts might be problematic is actually a real danger on college campuses and at left wing political rallies. Furthermore, the arguments used to restrict these fundamental rights are seductive and can and have spread. Public universities have illegal speech codes. That’s s problem. Outside of stormfront where do you find Nazis? ---

> [@RTFirefly](#): > > Bombs, tiki torches, mass murders, a President and his political party routinely pushing the conspiracy theories that rouse the rabble to commit mass murders and send bombs through the mail…all coming from one side of the political spectrum. This. that side has cliven Bundy (and company), Proud Boys, KKK, Nazis, “unregulated militias” (heavily armed racist assholes), bombers, church burners, etc etc etc etc. NOTICE for all the talk about “taking back” and civil war, they are very careful to only go after “safe” (as in unarmed and unprotected) targets. And Trump refuses to tone down any of his hate rhetoric. Instead he amps it up and blames the victims… enemy of the people media, synagogues that should have armed themselves, etc etc etc. These cowards and their coward leader turn my stomach. ---
