A great demonstration of how right-wing violence results in lectures about how to coddle the violence of the right-wing.

No one to the left of fascism was involved. And yet.

I don’t get it, this is exactly what every tankie has been saying “america” needs to do. Take care of its toxic messes before they leak onto the international stage.

Are you saying what the tankies want and what is the best course for the most people are not the same thing?

This isn’t a far-left outlet.

(My opinion is that the best plan against fascism is the one someone is actually going to try and do, and so far American far-leftists haven’t responded to fascism in the way they claim is necessary to defeat it.)

Neither have the fucking tankies. So what’s with the moral ego trip?

Edit: answer; agitprop. It’s always agitprop.

I don’t buy the argument. This doesn’t Trump more sympathetic. He doesn’t look like a tough guy. He still the same incoherent fuckhead he was eight years ago. Just ask him about gun control and get his incoherent response. Thanks NRA and Republicans for making this assassination attempt easy. Too bad the assassin was incompetent. I guess Nicki Haley or whoever would have replaced DJT would probably have been younger and therefore more capable of attacking Joe’s age.

This kind of moral lecturing is always directed at moderates and the left. Even when it’s right wing in fighting. I’m sorry but I’m not laying down my life to keep people that constantly say I should be dead or in prison, from fighting each other.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
