Sledge, I didn't say anyone was threatening to send us to the gulags, only that our own countrymen WOULD do it. Conservatives and Christians are already being targeted for harassment and persecution. And saying that is not manic paranoia.
You're far more likely to see manic paranoia from the far left who are so paranoid they keep conservatives from speaking at universities by rioting and arson -- can't even let themselves HEAR something they don't agree with, and don't want anyone else to hear it either.
Yes, the leftists who can't be argued with (i.e. reasoned with) have a mental problem. The ones who are out to destroy Confederate heritage are particularly unreasoning, and dangerous. The leftists who riot, burn, beat people up (like the By Any Means Necessary thugs) should be arrested, tried and put in jail.
What's really funny about "antifa" is that they're are fascists, big time. They are also insincere anti-racists. They don't really care about minorities; they just hate white people and want to cause them trouble -- and harm, if possible.
If you aren't being threatened to be put in a gulag, then where does your claim to know they would put you in a gulag come from?
Yes, to say that Conservatives and Christians are being targeted for harassment and persecution is manic paranoia. I agree groups like antifa's tactics shouldn't be allowed to continue. But, our society at large are not targeting Conservatives and Christians. I'm both, and I'm not targeted. White Christians are, by far, the largest demographic in the nation at 46%, and 70% of Republicans (the ruling party) are white Christians.
I agree that if a group, university, whatever books someone to speak, they should be allowed to speak. People don't agree with that person's message, don't attend, protest properly outside. But, resorting to violence undermines your message.
"Yes, the leftists who can't be argued with (i.e. reasoned with) have a mental problem." - You're arguing that your view is the only reasonable view. And those that won't agree with you are mentally ill and should be in a mental ward. If ever there was an argument for a slippery slope, this is it.
"The ones who are out to destroy Confederate heritage are particularly unreasoning, and dangerous." - Or they just don't agree with it and don't believe it represents us as a nation. Just because you won't have monuments glorifying your heritage doesn't mean you can't still claim it as your heritage.
"What's really funny about "antifa" is that they're are fascists, big time." - Agreed.
"They are also insincere anti-racists..." - Coming from someone who sees every disagreement as an attack, this is par for the course. I don't agree with their tactics, but I do think they think they are fighting back against hate.
Who's threatening to put you in a gulag? Is all the manic paranoia necessary?
ReplyDeleteLeftists belong in prison or mental wards, but antifa are the worse than fascists? Pot, I'd like to introduce you to kettle.
Or maybe you're admitting your fascism, you just think antifa is beneath even you. So many directions to take so many memes.
