There are agreed upon definitions now? When the fuck did this happen?


Probably around the same time as making a comparison is also not comparing something. Next NSG will break the thermodynamic laws of physics...and yet not...all at once.

From what I hear Instagram is not far behind. What with their whole censorship and monopoly on what is “factual,” now.

Even though I do not like Trump at all, I wish him a speedy recovery, and I hope that maybe this serves as an eye-opener as to how serious this coronavirus situation is.

A mod called you out, and it's been pointed out that your writing styles are almost exactly the, you always show up around the same times, you have the same opinions, ad you share an IP. You also denied any relation until the IP was pointed out IIRC, after which you called it a shared nation.

Northern Davincia wrote:I doubt that, but at least we now agree that Antifa is something else beyond mere "anti-fascism".

I don't believe that it's ever been my position that antifa is merely anti-fascism. Antifa is the political philosophy, the idea, we might say, that fascism should be opposed by any means necessary. And it should be obvious that adherents to such a philosophy have no interest in what liberals like Biden tell them to do. Liberals want civility, the negative peace that is the absence of strife, they want to invite fascists up on stage and debate the Jewish Question as if that will stop fascists from doing a fascism. "You have been defeated in the marketplace of ideas, Mr. Hitler, the traditions of civil discourse require you to desist immediately." Whereas the hacker known as ANTIFA™ would simply smash Hitler's face in with a bike lock.

Antifa is the philosophy that fascism should be opposed because it is an obstacle to anarcho-communism. There is no more complexity to it than that.
Of course, both the liberal and Antifa window-smasher fail to realize that Mr. Hitler gains traction when democracy fails repeatedly.

He's not lying about it. Remember, he is a narcissist, and narcissists cannot lie about being sick because sickness is weakness and weakness is inconceivable. It also means no campaign events for at least two weeks, and when would Trump voluntarily give up his campaign rallies? No, he's telling the truth this time.

Not really a conspiracy to theorize that a man who lies all the time is maybe lying again.

I had a coworker who was the same way - lied about almost everything and whenever he told the truth it didn't matter because nobody believed him.
