Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2019 4:44 pmWell if we want to paraphrase things it appears clear to me he just called for the genocide of Peruvians in that tweet.
Someone report him to the police.

Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2019 4:44 pmWe must be reading different posts.
I guess glossing over white nationalistic terrorism is fine though? Since you only criticised Vass.

Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2019 4:45 pmTwo wrongs and whatnot. I think there was an unwritten agreement that you two would do this without saying it, but to actually come out and admit you would give less prominence to certain terrorist attacks...well you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
Civil war creeps ever closer.

You know, I'm still trying to figure out where I glossed over anything.

I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. It is far more powerful, faster, and smarter than the current standard. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind. There is no reason that we should be lagging behind on.........
....something that is so obviously the future. I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies. We must always be the leader in everything we do, especially when it comes to the very exciting world of technology!
He is talking about 5G and 6G in the present sense. It's okay to admit that Trump is an old grumpy bastards who knows nothing about technology. No need to pretend like he is talking about discovering new technologies when he clearly just made a mistake. I mean, jeez, choose your battles. Don't try to mount a last stand over every single slip-up he makes.

That is not a mistake. He could not have said "4G and even 5G" because 4G is already the standard.

The only people talking about an impending civil war are right wing white nationalist extremists who finally want a reason to use their ridiculous arsenal against people they dislike. No serious person is expecting the US to descend into civil war.

You know, I've been on the internet long enough to know when someone fucked up and they're desperately trying to cover up that fact.

Yup. All this talk of growing polarization and racial divide was just fluff right

Nothing what you underlined means that Trump thinks 6G doesn't exist yet. He talks about them in the same sense. So, does he think that 5G hasn't been invented yet? or that 5G has?
1. 'Even 6G' doesn't mean anything
2. He could literally have either said 'right now' or 'as soon as possible', because 5G requires infrastructure to build.
3. Online shopping is also the future while it already exists. It's a phrase. Again, because those sentences pertain to both 5G and 6G, either he thinks both have yet to be invented, or both do not exist.

In the 60's people were lynched. If that didn't trigger a civil war, this won't either. It's bad, but no-one but the extreme right is clamouring for a civil war.

Then you must have noticed that a lot in Trump, right? I mean, have you heard him in speeches? Even when he makes a perfectly understandable slip of the tongue he has to pretend like he meant it.

For someone who touts your education level so much, you really are shit at making deflections; they not teach rhetoric at your school?

We are talking about Trump, right?

'Even' is the operative word here and if you refuse to recognise it you're just being deliberately obtuse for no reason whatsoever other than own the fash
"I want solar and even fusion power" does not mean you want fusion power right now.
Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2019 5:09 pmWe were talking about a Trump tweet.
You said you somehow immediately sniff out when someone tries to cover up a fuck-up.
And I tell you that Trump is notoriously bad at that.
And I am deflecting?
