Frankly, I think the defense attorney vowing to remember each of the jurors' faces might've scared them into voting the defendants not liable (rather than because they were honestly persuaded). Probably how it works for most cases surrounding Antifa, if I were to guess, in which they intimidate...

Look, I don't want to waste time arguing with you in an Antifa thread. Could've chosen not to respond to you, I guess, but maybe I should've just let the whole "Anarchism Vs. Minarchism!" debate be instead of chiming in.

Yes, yes, I recall discussing that with you and others at length in a medley of threads. Macro-historical derails aside, they don't really solve the problems I'm getting at or disprove the arguments I linked to above. Having said that, I've probably distracted from the main topic enough. Here...

I mean... if the system you have in place allows you to do that in the first place, then it's ripe for exploitation later on. Again, maybe this is more a topic for another thread, but there are times when I wonder if the people saying "That's not good government!" are basically repeating a...

So... why'd they give up on it, then?

On the other hand... we've already tried minarchy, and that ultimately hasn't worked out as promised. Case in point: The US Government, which started off hands-off and minimalist before mushrooming into one of history's biggest and most invasive states in less than three centuries. Besides...

More of a “Corporate Left” that weaponizes Progressivism for its own ends, I’d say. In fairness, they seem all too happy to overlook genuine Neo-Communists and other homicidal fanatics who’d happily guillotine Biden and his donors if they had their way — and may, in fact, try to rack up a...

Yeah… Said it before over in the General Meme Thread, but I honestly feel that if let off the chain for real, these guys would start killing each other like mad dogs fighting over the last carcass in the desert. Fits well with the Far Left’s self-destructive tendencies historically, too...

In that case, I suppose the natural question to ask is whether these guys would act the same way if they somehow took power? As I recall, the Far Left has a dangerous penchant for mental gymnastics in which they excuse their mass-murdering as “righteous” while decrying Nazi atrocities as...

So, basically… don’t write to Stalin ever? Upon reflection, I now see why no one would want to, save for relatives that only associated with him because he was family and because he was the most powerful man in the Soviet Union — meaning that crossing him was the last item on any sane person’s...

You know... now that I think about it, maybe there are certain cases where Cancel Culture is justified. Frankly, if there's anyone who deserves a good shitcanning, it's the Chancellor and Sacramento Bee for both defaming him and whipping the Leftist mob up into a frenzy. Because, unlike Kirk...

I literally just said that even if they don't like it — and again, the vast majority of them wouldn't — most Democrats would probably dismiss it as "a hateful minority" rather than a larger, systemic problem the Left has in general. You know, kind of like Muslims blaming "a few fanatics" for...

Sorry if I'm derailing, but dare I ask why? 🧐

Pretty sure a Leftist 9/11 would scare most Democrats as much as it would Republicans. Unfortunately, they’d probably dismiss it as a few hateful berserkers who are otherwise members of a tiny minority — when in fact, this is symptomatic of a larger problem the Left has. And, in fact, has had...

Most of them might not, but at the same time, I wouldn't rule out a few overzealous berserkers becoming restless and taking matters into their own hands with horrendous results. Might require extensive planning and procurement of resources they don't have, though considering some of the...

So… who else is counting down the days until Antifa, BLM, or some likeminded loonies pull off another 9/11 and force the Left as a whole to finally acknowledge that maybe it does have a bit of an extremism problem? Doubt they’ll be able to sneak into planes with boxcutters and suicide vests...
