MAGAThread XVII: All Things NOT Impeachment

[The East Marches II]

Speaking of the free press:

KNUS radio host Craig Silverman says he was fired mid-show for criticizing Trump

Best of luck to him in the podcast world! A pity he was fired. He has my condolences. The free world's press isn't very free anymore. Here is to hoping we get a good replacement.

Integrity is an expensive thing to maintain nowadays, my respect nonetheless.

[Neutraligon]

very much so, given the differences in use between scientific theory and colloquial theory. But then, once again, the term militant was already used colloquially to talk about people who took up arms to support a cause. By using it the way you are, you are so diminishing what the term means as to make it a pointless term. The only use for the term as you are using it is as basically an insult.

Why would you take a descriptor as an insult? You are the only apportioning something negative to it. Why can't you see past your own negative connotations? I didn't diminish anything. This may come as a surprise to you, but some times words have multiple definitions. I would infact be complimented if you were to say I was a militant defender of privacy for instance.

Nice of you to admit your mistake.

I am nothing if not gracious, even to those with tyrannical ideals.

Oh so you just went back on what you said, not very nice. I see no reason t talk with you further at this point since you are so insistent on strawmanning my position

A man with integrity in these times is worth his weight in gold. I see now why the Romans bemoaned the lack of good men during the last days of the Republic. When they are gone, society feels their loss acutely.

Any system can only as good as those who fill it with life. If the good men are gone or getting few, a republic, which is by definition a public affair, is not going to be last and inevitably doomed.

i saw this picture i want to know what everyone thinks about it...

Person1: Bucky, you're a republican, you'll like this. How many republicans does it take to change a light bulb?
Person2: ...
Person1: Nobody knows! They won't release that information! HA HA HA!
Person2: Oh yeah? Well do you know how many liberals does it take to change a light bulb?
Person1: Well with the proper funding-
Person2: They never change anything, they just cry over the broken light bulb!

Interesting how liberals, at the same time, are SJWs intent on taking away everyone’s freedoms and crybabies who never take action.

Their desire is to deprive freedom, they're just wildly inept at it. These are not contradictory ideas.

Conservatives are always in need of quantum villains, simultaneously an omnipresent threat but also totally incompetent.

It's necessary to maintain their world view of themselves as being the tough, brave, clear-eyed, independent bootstrap puller uppers who can crush those mewling safe space liberal snowflake weaklings with ease, but also the constantly oppressed and persecuted underdogs under constant threat from the liberal menace that controls everything.

Meanwhile communists and marxists are always and permanently being oppressed by the inescapable and sinister mechanistic omniforces of Capitalizm. It's like strapped to a chair inside a room with the walls full of spikes and other instruments of terror moving closer.

It should be noted, however, that the two situations are not quite the same. Conservatism creates the image of liberals who are a total threat to everything they love yet simultaneously weak-willed and incapable of doing anything. At the very least, leftist realizes that capitalism is an actual threat to it.

That idea of the enemy being simultaneously strong and weak is commonly cited as a typical element of fascism more than conservatism.

Coincidentally, also a common tactic of under-aged Fortnite players.

Perhaps. Although American conservatism seems to be borrowing that tactic.

Then perhaps there's more to them than just conservatism.

Yes. Communism.

You know, your friendo Jeff Bezos lurking behind every corner.

Damn my brain.

"Dangit. Jeff Bezos is doing that thing again. Swinging it around, making the birds think it's a worm."

Yeah, and the pilgrims were friends to the Native Americans.

[Farnhamia]

Yeah, and the pilgrims were friends to the Native Americans.

They kind of were, at the beginning. It was really the Puritans and all the other who came after them that caused problems.

But we digress.

[Kowani]

They fought with the very first Indians they met, and then gave them the plague. What are you talking about.

Oddly enough, it was the natives who first attacked the Pilgrims. Granted that the natives caught the plague from the colonists but it wasn't a deliberate act of inflicting a disease on people. The Pilgrims had little concept of disease or modern medicine.

Oh, and don't contradict me.

You broke up with him, Donald. It's over. Get over it.

That the natives were the ones who attacked the pilgrims does not undermine my point in the slightest-since it wasn’t predicated on behavior towards anyone, but rather, the relationship as a whole.

The simple fact that people are so obsessed over hating a single person that they stop doing everyday activities is pretty alarming to me

I'm old enough to remember the early 2000s. I thought the Bush hatred was retarded (and I'm no fan of Bush). People literally thought he was Hitler and was going to make America a fundamentalist Christian theocracy.

Trump hatred dwarfs that, and compared to Bush, Trump's pretty decent.
