You arguing for the left's views a lot is not an argument for them being right, it's an argument for you being stubborn.
Except the Left has been right about some things, and I won't deny that just because people here don't want to hear it.
This is another example of why I won't register as part of the GOP, when this is the shit I can expect anytime I point out the Right huffing it's own propaganda on some issues.
And that's not how cities should work, this is why so many mock democrat management of cities. It's also the same cities whose political management would be horrified at most comparisons to the Wild West, starting with Wild West's attitude towards guns and law enforcement.
Yet it is how those cities, or at least parts of them, operate in reality.
Unlike some here, I am not so naive to think that the cities and areas that operate like that will change unless they chose to from within, and operate on realistic expectations derived from that, instead of the Reaganite delusions of America being a 'shining city on the hill'.
It's why I compare the US to Russia or China for domestic politics and society, not you Euro's; the US is only 'civilized' on a surficial and technological level if 'civilization' is defined by Euro's ideas of it.
There were no social media in the Wild West. You either want the world of antifa city, the world of Wild West, or the world of traditionalist industrial age USA, with all the pros and cons of it, make up your mind, you can't pick all the pros and none of the cons of all 3.
No, you just have repeatedly misconstrued my position and viewpoints to make it easier to rant at me.
Because having nuianced views that don't neatly fit either side of the aisle is not something people on the Right seem to accept is possible, without calling anyone who does a 'Lefty'.
What you are arguing for here is the latter, which really defeats your own point here in an ironic way, because in effect that means "soft segregation", where some people have really watch their mouths in some areas, and the same goes for people from those areas when they go somewhere else.
That is not 'soft segragation', because even among African-Americans, using the term 'house black' would be a serious insult and likely result in violence.
I mean seriously, the term 'house black' is a nicer version of 'house n****r/slave', which is akin to calling someone an Uncle Tom, and those insults are not some minor thing to many African-Americans.
You think the deception here is that people buy this ideal as reality while it's not.
While for a lot of the world it doesn't matter, good enough for government work.
So you admit that the 'shining city on the hill' myth is what a lot of foreigners work off of for the 'ideal' of the US, and get upset when that ideal is not reality.
You can stop pretending that you are the only American on this forum and your word on what USA is like is absolute.
I'm do not see other American's dogpiling me about this, only foreigners who are upset that I am pointing out a reality about the US they'd rather not hear.
Because as far as I know, Goldranger is Israeli, you're Polish, and Lordsfire+Curved_Sw0rd are Brits.
I mean Cherico even backed up what I said about how some places work and might react to that slur, yet no one is dogpiling him about it.
Because this is about ranting at me for breaking some illusions about the US, and not going along with certain narratives of the Right.
No, the reason is the same, you're just doing it from a different political direction.
And a cold civil war is nothing like the proper one would be, which is what i have referred above.
I would put you on ignore not for political reasons, but because you are pendantic, belligerent mod who abuses his position as 'unignorable' to constantly chase me around the forum to rant at me for not buying all the Right Wing narratives and because I am not a simp for the US DoD which provides Poland's nuclear umbrella.
It only works for them as long as it is one sided. Once the other side starts acting this way they run at lightspeed to cry to media, NGOs, lawyers and the government.
Yes, and that's why I want those terms back in their old language, so the Lefties gloss is stripped off and we can be honest as a nation about what the laws/ideas really mean.
In Wild West people with extra rare backstories like these would not be in prison.
In reality, 90%+ of ex-cons don't have stories like that.
No, but they also wouldn't be lynched or killed outright with 'fighting words' and 'mutual combat' on the books Federally (some states already have these laws) like you posit.
What kind of antifa city bullshit is that?
The same kind of 'bullshit' that resulted from the Enron scandal of the early 2000s, the same kind of bullshit resulting from the BP Deep Water Horizon fire/spill, the same kind of bullshit which spawned Occupy Wallstreet, and the same kind of bullshit the the pharma groups who sold the damaging Wu Flu vax's will likely face.
One of the few things both the base of the Left and Right agree on is that corpo's in the US have become too powerful and many need to be broken up or shut down for the actions they've taken towards their customers.
I'm gonna be honest here you're carrying an incredible amount of water for someone who would find you far too right wing and is basically a regime hostage.
So because I do not hold all the same politics as Snoop, I shouldn't defend him from someone calling him a 'house black'...
Do you understand that condemning actual, blatant racism shouldn't be a partisan issue, and acting like it should be just proves what I mean about the Right being rather 'ok' with sheltering legit racists who are just too...'low class' for the racism the Left likes to engage in.
Ahh...not quite, I don't think its the greens responsible for this as its more one mans vision and private backers who believe in him. I happen to be one of them. If I ever hear the Greens in Washington getting their mitts into his project then I'm out. Because nothing turns a private working project into an inefficient wasteful venture quite like the Greens in Washington.
I know that, and it's good that it wasn't the radical environmentalists who are in charge of the effort.
However, I wasn't the one who decided to apply that label to any environmentally minded endeavors or ideas as the 'green movement':
1. The entire modern green movement is a fraud, and those who've been deceived by said fraud.
I was simply pointing out that oceanic garbage patches are a real environmental issue, not a 'fraud', and that there are issues where the Left is correct in trying to call attention to it.
