He supports these people and doesn't even know they are promoting violence (or at least claims not to see it). He has to hide from a conversation with me because he has no ammunition of fact on the subject.
Look at Mark, he implies his moral superiority anytime I bring it up....and then disappears when challenged to prove anything. Yes, I believe conservatism is a morally superior position, and I'm willing to own it and debate it BECAUSE IT IS.
But this creative use of language is the method of Dictators since time immemorial. All politicians on the Left are Saul Alinky disciples so their plan is transparent to the enlightened.
First the "masters" at the DNC and BSNNC media spread propaganda. Doesn't have to be true as long as it looks plausible since Democrats are a bit lazy about chasing down facts. All they have to do is imply that anyone who opposes them are somehow nazi, fascist, or worse...christian!
And once the "other group" (as defined by identity politics of race, economic status, religion, age, etc) has been denigrated and dehumanized, then what can be wrong with implying that it's ok to physically attack a nazi? Why would it ever be a bad thing for street gangs to go destroy the home of a fascist? Since christians won't openly embrace LGBTQ then what can be wrong with crashing a wedding?
This is the danger of words.
The Dept of Propaganda (BSNBC, CNN, CBS, etc) knows it and is willfully stoking the flame of division for a dictator.
If you believe that supporting the party that puts people before corporations, wants to make sure everyone has access to good affordable healthcare, and tries to protect our planet for future generations to be evidence of me taking the high ground and if you believe it implies that I believe I have some "moral superiority"...then I'll own that and take it as compliment.
but ted, every argument you put forward wafts of "moral superiority"!
And you know what...you feel YOU'RE making the case for YOUR team. And it plays well to YOUR teammates, but It gets no traction with ME.
Now try this on for size... I feel I'M making the case for MY team. And it plays well to MY teammates, though it gets no traction with YOU.
And I know you'd likely want to debate even THIS point so a winner might be crowned! I'm sure you have some "facts" on even this debate that you'd like to offer up to the court.
but really...pointing out the missteps of the other team on a forum visited by less than a dozen people is much more important to you than I. frankly, i see it as waste of time and a useless exercise that accomplishes nothing positive.
if you choose to take that as you "winning" something.....go collect your prize. but really, if i'm not here to debate this stuff on a regular basis because i choose to spend my time otherwise, read what you want into that. and if you need to feel you've "won", Huzzah....but really it's nothing more than that i've grown tired of all the back biting, pettiness, and endless appetite for "winning". I'm tired of being manipulated by the powers that be into arguments w others who hold different views.
Do you NEVER grow weary of that?
