Tucker fled to rural Maine when the pandemic hit, so there's no question he doesn't believe all of the shit he says.

Re: Republicans: continued
You entirely miss my point. I couldn't give a fuck what Tucker, Crowder etc. say or don't say. I have zero intention of listening to them. All I will comment on is clear issues, such as "should people confront each other in the street about mask wearing (for or against)?" I don't need to chase up opinions from others to present a reasoned argument.Cunt wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 4:50 pmI don't disagree with Tucker. Mainly, because I haven't taken the time to try to understand his position.
If I did, I would recognize immediately, that the inflammatory statement was bait, and meant to draw a twitter-trend.
As I pointed out first off - he was looking to trend.
As to whether he meant for people to start doing something different, or start responding to the maskers 'in kind', I don't know, but again, I think he was just trying to trend, so I don't care enough.
If he said something clearer, I might bite, but being encouraged to take such 'bait' by JimC doesn't make it sound like a good idea.
Why not condemn Crowder, and the Hodge twins, without knowing what they really said? Would that get you into the blueanon club?

If only you could abolish the political opposition, you might achieve that utopia.
I'm influenced by a Weinstein, who pointed out (when talking about media ramping up all discord) that we love each other. Hate isn't what humans do to each other, in person.
OF course, he's the 'wrong kind' of influencer too, but there are good influences out there. Just good to remember that we ARE influencers, as well as influenced.

Re: Republicans: continued
There is a huge difference between peaceful, non-violent demonstrations (typically denouncing government policies, not specific people), and confronting individuals in public and remonstrating with them for some perceived issue. I'm not going to harangue someone in the street about how they should respond to environmental issues...Cunt wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 9:49 pmI think people should not confront people in the street about global warming either.JimC wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 9:19 pm

Re: Republicans: continued
Those Deep State operatives have been busy, even setting up a phoney confession letter. Or maybe it's the leftist media concocting falsehoods out of whole cloth. One or the other.
'Bombshell Letter: Gaetz Paid for Sex With Minor, Wingman Says'
'Bombshell Letter: Gaetz Paid for Sex With Minor, Wingman Says'
A confession letter written by Joel Greenberg in the final months of the Trump presidency claims that he and close associate Rep. Matt Gaetz paid for sex with multiple women—as well as a girl who was 17 at the time.
“On more than one occasion, this individual was involved in sexual activities with several of the other girls, the congressman from Florida’s 1st Congressional District and myself,” Greenberg wrote in reference to the 17-year-old.
“From time to time, gas money or gifts, rent or partial tuition payments were made to several of these girls, including the individual who was not yet 18. I did see the acts occur firsthand and Venmo transactions, Cash App or other payments were made to these girls on behalf of the Congressman.”

Maybe it has to do with people fearing mobs, or maybe it's a fear of being trapped, but blocking roads is a pretty awful kind of confronting.
I wouldn't try to stop YOU from going about your daily business, because I think it would be anti-social. Don't know how others justify it, except that mob 'might makes right' stuff.

Re: Republicans: continued
Just so you know, Cunt, you would have opposed the black civil rights movement of the '60s. You'd have sided with the 75% of white Americans who opposed MLK. You're using the same excuses. What a great "lefty" you are.

You have a vivid imagination, and show all the respect you are able to muster.
What a great representative for your opinions you are making.

Re: Republicans: continued
Taken to its logical conclusion, that argument leaves no place for public demonstrations and marches, which, if large enough, necessarily have to block the streets they are marching through, if only for a relatively short space of time.Cunt wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 3:57 pmBlocking public streets is plenty 'confronting'.JimC wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 10:26 pmThere is a huge difference between peaceful, non-violent demonstrations (typically denouncing government policies, not specific people), and confronting individuals in public and remonstrating with them for some perceived issue.

What a great gift for governments the world over...

The deliberate blocking of intersections for an hour or more (or until police clear them) is another matter. It is a tactic used by XR in climate change demonstrations; I have mixed feelings about it. It generates lots of publicity, but it also is seen to deliberately disrupt the lives of the general public, which generates a lot of negative feelings.

Re: Republicans: continued
The conservatives and racists of the day said of the black civil rights movement that it was disruptive, violent, criminal, racist, and that the protesters were rioters, looters, thugs, vandals, etc.
Of course you side against BLM and climate protesters, and defend the fascists who attacked the capitol, BECAUSE YOU ARE A RIGHT WINGER, you cunt.
