What is Ignored Here

[psiberzerker]

I'm probably going to have to just Ignore her, completely.  So she doesn't feel unwelcome here, I'm just going to have to swallow my pride, and lave her alone.  This nemesis isn't healthy for either of us.  There's just too much drama, and baggage between us.

It's been fun, though.

Well finally a rational thought.

Now everyone go get laid and shut the fuck up.

You both dissect each other’s responses like it’s a frog that you need to identify all the particular capillary arteries to get into medical school.  And you can’t actually see the capillaries, so you extrapolate from the larger arteries and veins you can see.

They dissect each other's responses like a couple of farmers trying to decide who a dead animal belonged to, in the dark, using shovels, with no real discernible way of identifying the animal by dissecting it in the first place. It's like watching a couple of AIs predefined to be outraged by everything trying to communicate with no common language.

It's not just here, he just told me how my vagina works in another thread.  Literally shit like that is why I stay in politics here.  I don't want my vagina dissected.

I offered to personally show you how your vagina works, but you said you liked me too much for that.

I'm sorry, but I can't do that, Dave.  TBPH, I've been getting laid a little too much, even for me, and my balls are drained.  However, this isn't Sex Talk, and I've already made this too much about me, arguing with her.  So, I'll leave that there, but note that not having sex doesn't happen to be my problem this week.

All I am saying is that the rhetoric that labels all people of an opposing view as something completely evil justifies the actions we saw in the links I posted.

I’m going to go one step further Irish slut.  There might be damping down of media coverage of Antifa violence and incivility, but it’s also possible your experiences on a college campus gives you a heightened awareness beyond that say someone like myself might have.  The internet allows us to apply all sorts of filters as to the news we chose to read.

Likewise there is a valid point that Antifa basically just has a hammer, so they see every job as a Nail.  Or in this case, "Nazis, Nazis everywhere!"  Since that's what they're chartered to fight, they may filter everything through that:  They don't have any valid argument against anything except Fascists, therefore to engage in any dialog, they pretty much forced themselves to define anything they argue against as fascism.

However, they're not even on the Left.  Much less do they represent the Left.  They are their own entity, despite opposing the Right only through association with Neo Nazis, White Supremacists (Which includes the Neo Nazis) and others they see as "Fascist" on the Right, that doesn't make them "The Left" by association.

Actually, intelligence is nothing without  wisdom, critical thought, and reflection.
Something that you, Miss B, exercise and show a lot of. Something that you, Irishgirl, should consider and emulate.

A type A personality that thinks and writes too fast.

She’s a bit different in private.

’Tis a pity. The spoken word is gone on the wind. The written word preservers.

As I said, it all depends on the media.  The Center and Right cover it, the left ignores it (until Tucker) and the far left endorse the violence and the hate rhetoric.

So if you only get your news from the far left, then Antifa are righteous freedom fighters and there are Nazis everywhere.  And that is echoed at a lot of institutes of higher learning (as you pointed out).

And if you only get your news from the Left, Antifa hardly exists and isn't really an issue.  And, in some cases like the Proud Boy thing, are praised and painted as victims for losing a fight they started...but only when it can reflect poorly on the far right, otherwise it's ignored.  The same with Charleston, where the media painted them as having no part in the violence, when, in actuality they instigated it (and this is NOT excusing the right for their actions). 

And if you go to the right and far right, then Antifa is absolutely everywhere, it's just as bad as the far left in many regards.  

But the fact is that when you paint a people as "other" be it for views and thought as the left is, or for race, sexuality, and gender as Identitarians are , for country of origin or immigration status like the right is.  And then you label the "other" as "absolute evil" as we see the far left doing, and as we see here in threads like "party of hate" it creates a situation that allows people to justify attacking and harming other people for trivial differences.

And that is a fact, people like Jacques Ellul and Noam Chomsky (among many others) have devoted entire books to how that language enables people to act violently.  That is the essence of propaganda.  That is why it exists.

And then there is the fact that I don't support Trump and I don't support Antifa and tend not to totally side with any group that draws a line in the sand and demands it.  And, of course, that is irritating as hell for people that harbor the illusion that, in order to have a political view you have to go all in on one side or the other without criticizing when your people do wrong.

And then there is the fact that, in private, I don't have Psi telling me how my vagina works or that I'm guilty of White Supremacy for the order of words.

Now you don't have to worry about that in public any more, either.  You're going to have to get offended without me.  You won, it's been fun, have a nice life.

You don't have to do that, I'm fine with you in Politics.  Just don't tell me how my vagina works on other boards and we're cool.

I already said I'll stick to politics so you don't feel the need to correct me on the functioning of my own body.

Like you stuck to politics by bringing that up from out there?  (Not to mention misgendering me.)  Stick to politics then, you can have it, nobody understands me here anyway.  I'm done.  We're done.  Have fun without me, buh bye.
