• politics arguments?

    From Mantrid@VERT/UKBBS to All on Thu Jan 28 10:31:28 2021
    I don't mean to be a censor here, but isn't there a debate subgroup which i explicitly unsubscribed from because I don't want to get the twitter experience in 8 bit?

    people frothing at the mouth and attacking each other over their political leanings isn't really a spectator's sport, i can watch college students do that on modern social media but at least they use memes or something ----------------------

    There is, General is non topic specific.

    It's not so much attacking people, It's more about diffusing the mis information put out by the extreme leftist's that the media then pushes as fact when it's not.
    you can see CNN, NYT, Washington Post MSNBC and others all vomit the exact phrases, they all push the same garbage that their masters at the DNC want them to push.

    It's not so much attacking people, It's more about diffusing the mis information put out by the extreme leftist's that the media then pushes as f when it's not.

    yeah I mean I'm not against the opinions being expressed, more that we're obviously an older demographic here and I would've thought that'd make us kinder and more respectable even in the face of disagreement

    I guess I react different to this kind of thing. Growing up in Northern Ireland during the troubles talking politics could literally get you killed or beaten up if the wrong person overheard, and part of the healing process of that was that even if you discuss politics to be respectful for it, trust me I've seen what happens when people throw manners and everyday courtesy out the window and extrapolate that down to kneecapping and terror campaigns

    funnily enough that's something america itself is starting to learn itself. maybe we could take the millions the US plastic paddies sent to the IRA, divide it in half and send it to the proud boys and antifa and see how you guys like terrorism being funded from abroad ;)

    Oh yeah it's all a huge scam.
    Our politians give billions in forign aid to countries and they get huge kickbacks making them wealthy.
    When Pelosi gets 192,000 a year salary but she has amassed over 196,000,000 and she's far from the only one that scams us tax payers, and it's not just Democrat's it's Republicans and Indepenants as well.

    what happened is they changed things little by little and not only THAT, but they changed people. it's quite impressive. it's the most impressive slavery model ever if you think about it.

    i'm sure you've seen this video but in pelosi's district it's full of homeless people, needles all over, human shit all over and they rig up pipes to fire hydrants so people can take spongebaths in public. it's fucking pathetic.
