“This is what tolerance looks like at UC Berkeley”

Oh dear, I know you are familiar with the Black bloc, because I mentioned them yesterday.

Does your astute "laughing dog" argument stand for the principle that all anarchists are the same?

Where ya going with that otherwise awesome argument?

There is no such group known as the "Black Bloc" - let alone an anarchist group known as such.
 
All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Anarchists done for us?
 
The Big Dog said:
Not sure how you miss that:

Why is it that those people, the clear minority of anti-trump people represent all of us who didn't vote for trump, but the millions of people who turned up at the March for Women, with little if any police action don't?

I am saying the pink hat ladies who got totally owned by one lollipop sucking "badass" DO represent you too!

:thumbsup:

Just because someone represents you, doesn't mean you agree with their actions.

Or did you agree with everything Obama did?

There isn't? I was unaware that you were chosen the spokesperson for anarchists.

How did you get that position? i din't vote for 'im.

Did the Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that You, caveman, was to carry Excalibur. And that is why you are their spokesman!!

Now in all seriousness, did you think that we forgot that just yesterday you were linking to articles singing the virtues of the Black Bloc?

As much as I disagreed with some of Obama's actions, I don't recall ever going on a destructive rampage when someone from his faction made a public appearance.

Hmmm. I can't say I was a huge fan of his Murder Drone policy, but I would have fought to the death for his right to speak about his Murder Drone policy.

If you think there is such a group, feel free to present it. Who are its members, what are its publications, where is it located?

Quote? I can't remember linking to anything which describes a black bloc as anything other than a tactic.

Maybe not formally....but the "Black Block" is the term used in Norcal for a group of Anarchist in Berkely who have long history of this kind of behavior.

Whilst I don't think it is homophobic to disagree with Milo, he is allowed to have these opinions and talk about them in the public square.

I used to know a guy who said he'd preferred to have been born straight.

I'd prefer people would feel at ease with who they are, but some people think this way.

Milo also has an open mic and takes questions at his talks. Offering a non violent way to engage his arguments.

Can you find a post by me saying Milo was not entitled to his opinions?

The poster I was responding to called people criticizing Milo's beliefs (which we are also entitled to do) hypocritical because Milo identifies himself as gay. I posted what is easily found information about Milo that he himself expresses homophobic beliefs. There is no hypocrisy criticizing a homophobic gay man for his homophobia. I've done it many times, as there are more than a few very prominent anti-gay gay guys.

Milo Yiannopoulos is Jewish, openly gay, and he was born in Greece.

That makes those who hate him and want to silence him anti-semitic, homophobic, and xenophobic.

This says a lot about the supposed "tolerance" of the left when they attack and silence a gay Jewish man who hails from a foreign country.

Hypocrites.

Not how it works, but nice try.

Frankly, as much as I see Ben Shapiro and the like as clowns, even that guy hasn't, say, outed a transgender student who attends the university he was speaking at, to note one thing this Milo guy has done.

Again, everyone knows the Black Bloc are a pack of violent idiots. But the only reason to invite this guy onto campus is to cause as much controversy as possible.
 
Conspicuous by its absence from any reply from Sunmaster, theprestige, TBD or the user who made the observation initially, mgidm86 - is an answer to the question. Deflect, deflect, deflect.
Why is that?

So I ask.

Again.

Why do the infinitesimally small number of nitwits who choose violence represent the whole of liberals in your mind, but the massive number of peaceful protesters that we saw at the Women's march don't?

"the massive number of peaceful protesters that we saw at the Women's march" DO TOO!

Cripes I said that three times already for Pete's sake.

It's hard to imagine Democratic voters not turning out in greater numbers next time, assuming Trump runs for reelection.

Again: I'm seeing a concerning lack of imagination on the ISF...

Democratic voters can want to turn out in greater numbers, but if they've been denied voter registration ("New law! No Ex-felons voting. New law! Drug testing for voters in Inner Cities!"), have 20 hour lineups that extend beyond a "state of emergency" curfew... And that's if they're in the eligible demographic... I would not be surprised by deportations or blanket citizenship revocations. DREAMers and recent immigrants look like a logical target for deportation, much less disenfranchisement.

Enthusiasm and popular support may not translate into sufficient votes to ensure a Republican defeat.

Well then we know how seriously to take people displaying such level of ignorance on the subject. Let me guess, liberals?

I don't think turning America into a Banana Republic is going to be as easy as you think.
Or if you really think that, then go out and get a rifle and ammunition, because armed resistence will be the only way to restore democracy.
Or maybe you just indulging in "Despair Porn",which I have seen quite a bit off here lately.

Everyone knows liberals are a pack of violent idiots, and people who participate in black blocs are peaceful and intelligent. Well, everyone excluding liberals themselves of course.
