George Floyd (II): Say His Name

[Draylo]

Then I think our definition of "complain" is different.

I didn't say "PLZ stop with the personal attacks and disagreeing with me!"

That would be you who is saying you aren't even having fun in your trolling. Difference between making an observation and actively trying to stop something.

100% along with a season 3 episode where the medical examiner gets raped by her OBGYN and the cops hem and haw over whether to do anything about because “his word versus hers” so she legit has to go let herself get raped again with a tape recorder on so they do something about it.

This was like 93 or 94

Woowwww I've watched over a hundred eps but I need to go back and watch that

Didn't say I was trolling, just said it wasn't fun fucking with you, meaning engaging with your inability to debate here without crying about personal attacks when most people are just pointing out your flawed logic.

[Draylo]

Nobody says they are trolling, they just do it.

I discussed a relevant topic by adding an observation I didn't see in the thread yet along with a question of "I wonder." Then you entered later after it being discussed (someone even learned about the situation when they asked) and try to attack me.

Once again, pointing out observations doesn't = complain.

There is no flawed logic, I just didn't want to engage the other poster because he was baiting me. He claimed anyone leaning right was a racist or implied that because I said I was swayed from my original position (there are many reasons why during this time.)

It's funny you consider it worse that someone is discussing a topic and observing personal attacks, but you don't think its bad that people are using them to begin with. If you can't discuss a topic without insulting and using baby pics to demean a poster, you're probably trolling.

That being said, I couldn't care less how many "shut the fuck up Draylo" I get or see, they're just wasting their time lol.

[Yabby]

Not attacking you, I'm making observations.

[kuronosan]

This entire exchange is hilarious to watch.

Can you tell when I get bored in the mornings? Working from home is so nice, but things are slow until people start logging in.

I know you guys have fun picking on Draylo for some reason, but the dude who was baiting Draylo did heavily imply anyone political "right" of "Center Left" was Racist. Thats a pretty big dumb if you ask me, I wouldn't engage with him either lol.

I just want to say I don't think this board is "far left" considering the consensus opinion is to support Biden as a nominee, when the rabid far left boogeymen Draylo cites as scaring him wouldn't be too keen on the idea. And I know this because I do know and see a good few people on the far left and they want Biden replaced as a nominee (including me!). Draylo just comes off as regurgitating right wing rhetoric and media, cause I mean basically Draylo's argument every time things are discussed is the exact same shit I see from the first comment or two deep into any Twitter thread on politics. He's not entirely far right fringe like guartz, but he's probably only a couple months away from it.

They are. If you identify with the right and have no issue with doing so you are a racist. Full stop dude.

There isn't some myriad number of levels to this shit anymore. Look at the policies and people the right support and elect. Look at what they're silent on or oppose. They are racist. All of them.

I will allow only one caveat, the Drew Brees argument. Where you are so supremely fucking stupid and ignorant you literally have no idea what you're talking about. In which case you're inevitably going to be educated and at which point you have two options. Change, which would mean no longer supporting right wing (racist) policies, or become an actual racist.

I think most people think he's a joke because he keeps repeating he is a democrat when he has shown zero democratic leanings. Most of what he posts isn't even normal 10 years ago Republican stances, but getting close to the super right-wing talking points. So I'm pretty sure that is what most people are having fun with right now.

IMO saying anyone center-left is a racist is dumb, as it is a generalization of a group of people. I will also say that if you are still going to vote for Trump in the coming months, you might not be racists, but you don't see racism as a deal-breaker, which says a lot about a person.

Refusing to be anti-racism is racism. It's not somehow more ambiguous or less bad.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but ya.

Details are sketchy atm, but the shop owner says this kid has no previous record and it's his account that the deputies drew their weapons without cause on him, so he panicked and ran and was then shot dead. He was working security at the shop because they had had issues with graffiti and such.

Draylo, my dude, I just want to know what history is being rewritten as you mentioned with your initial complaint that started this latest episode?

[Yabby]

I get what you are trying to say, but when the political spectrum is wide, having a single issue vote can't narrow down how a person feels.

What i mean by this is I know a few people who are anti-abortion. They see killing a person, even unborn, as a sin. That said, they still vote democratic who tend to be Pro-abortion. They do this because they see the majority of what democrats do as good for the most amount of people. That they want to take care of children, and the sick.

Now just because they vote democrat because the majority of their policies align with the great good, doesn't make them pro-abortion, they just weighted everything and felt the greater good was worth it.

That said, there are not many qualities like that for the right, but that is coming from someone that leans left. If I really thought the majority of republican policies helped American's, including black people, I could see how they would bite their tongue and still vote for a racist if they felt he would unknowingly help black people through policies that help the majority of American's.

I would also say that what i just said would be very rare, and the majority of the people who vote for Trump are most LIKELY racist.

[Lokus]

Having only 2 real choices usually means you're gonna have to deal with issues you don't completely agree with. So like Yabby mentioned, if you're super strict on anti-abortion, you'd probably vote Republican even if you hate all the other shit they bring to the table but being less strict might have you weighing abortion vs everything else. The problem we see from most Republicans is that they don't care to denounce all the other shit they supposedly abhor.

[Tymon]

You don't have to be a single issue vote. Change starts from the bottom up. You can vote for people who will do the least evil while supporting more progressive issues that are personal to you at the state and local levels.

You also don't have to swing far AOC-tier left to not be a shitty person. It's just, can you think of a single policy espoused by the right in the last half century that falls in line with what you're saying? Or a current Republican at any level Governor or higher that isn't a piece of shit?

I see your point with anti-abortion too. But consider this - pro-choice actually dramatically reduces the number of abortions that take place.

Re-writing brave confederate soldiers upholding states rights in the face of government tyranny into some sort of racist traitors desperately trying to maintain the brutal practice of chattel slavery.

Typical of the "far-left" these days smh

[BerenTebogo]

You can be a conservative-issues voter and not be racist. But if you go out and cast your vote for members of the republican party who are actively putting forth racist policies and spewing racist vitriol and you're doing it just because you're so fervently pro-life that you can't see anything else, you're enabling racism. Does that make you a racist? To me, yes. But I think it's semantics.

What you're saying is that the systematic and willful disenfranchisement of entire cultures and classes in society based solely on the color of their skin is just the price to pay to stop abortions.

Call it racism. Call it bigotry. Call it blind stupidity.

At the end of the day I think you'll find that the net result is that it makes it hard for those who know you to call you a good person. If that doesn't matter to you, so be it.
