Weird how you all seem to skip over that.

I wonder why that is?
Did any of them actually stay in a jail cell for more than a day though without Harris bailing them out? I doubt any of them were put in solitary confinement for several months like the Jan 6 rioters were. And 14,000? That’s less than 10% of the BLM protestors. Meanwhile, half the entire country is branded for life because of the actions of a few idiots. “You can’t trust any conservative because of what happened on Jan 6. They want to destroy democracy. They are the enemy.” They are constantly throwing that in our faces, and guess what? Most people have already moved on, but the Democrats in Washington won’t because it gives them an excuse to rip on the other side.

One dumb guy from Arkansas just rested his feet on Nancy Pelosi’s desk and he’s been sentenced to four and a half years for that. Maybe if he had left some cocaine on the desk instead of the dirt from his shoes, they would’ve let him off the hook.

Protesting police brutality sure as hell is a better cause than trying to keep a wannabe autocrat who lies to the public about voter fraud in power.

Grasping at straws, I see?
Pathetic.
But its not like you have any other choice, right?

After all, you need to either admit that your side was wrong or double-down on lunacy that "riots are good and amazing!". And the latter is not a valid option any longer in eyes of most sane people. So, you kinda-sorta need to pretend that your position is right, except without looking like a retard.

As such you took half-measured stance, which still looks essentially dumb as ****, since its basically: "riots are bad, but my side did it for a slightly better reasons!!". Except its not, since, if you have some grievances with a government you probably should air your grievances at the government, not random people and their property.

But apparently BLM had no balls to do so, which you had indirectly admitted. Not to mention, given that leadership of BLM ended up being griefters though and thorough, it could have been even not in their cards in the first place: after all, how can they rip off bleeding heart idiots of their money and buy expensive mansions, while being in jail?

And, of course, simply admitting that you were wrong is not an option too: lefties put too much stock in the ideology, making it part of their personality, so admitting their side can be wrong at times, means a personal attack against their whole being.

And one thing that lefties love above control over others, is their precious egos.

So, my fragile friend, you are wrong and still look stupid.

As for the other people: sorry, for this being a longpost, just wanted to demonstrate in PRECISE details, why lefties are losers.

Sumac, I‘m sure you are happy to be able to express your opinion somewhere, living in a dictatorship and all. It‘s probably exhilarating! Just don‘t assume anyone is interested in having a conversation with you since you have the manners of a three year old.

Well given he hates lefties, then it must be proof that Russia, in the space of 30 years, has gone from Communism to Fascism under Putin...

I mean...lets get on the same page. Should treason be treated like J6 (hunted down and persecuted while encouraging their kids to turn them in to the police for pretty much being let into a building disrupting operations for a few hours) or like the Summer of Love (taken in for a night then let go after burning parts of cities and sieging local and federal property)?

I am on board, but we have to pick one way to go.

I'd still argue that Modern Russia is far,far closer to Communism than Facism. Putin holds Communist Figures in high regard and says the dissolution of the Soviet Union was the 20th Century's greatest Geopolitical disaster.

The differences are deep, but when simplifying it to the extreme, communism is enforced idealism while Facism is the enforcement of natural hierachies.

For example when it comes to gender roles, communism preaches "all are equal" of course even if biology doesn't support this, while Facism is inherently partriarchal since men have naturally dominated women due to differences in biology.

How about this then: fascism is the inevitable result of Communism.

And the Naz*s and Communists fought each other because they both wanted to conquer the world. Every country was either going to be under the rule of Naz*sm or Communism. That was their goal. And they certainly couldn’t have coexisted. Sure, Stalin fought with us during WW2 to defeat Hitler, but that’s no different than Lex Luthor teaming up Superman to defeat Brainiac because of course he has to be the supreme ruler.

“But Communism is about uplifting the poor and weak.” You gotta sell the people something to get them to turn over their freedoms. Of course, the free-thinkers won’t fall for that trap and that’s why they got persecuted and treated like public enemies in the Communist regime.

Yeah, you're correct in your assessment there, facist movements are a reactionary in response to communism. The National Socialists of Germany for example, always saw the USSR as their main enemy, first and foremost.

It's just too bad that communist ideology survived and still poses a threat to this day.

What an answer! So poignant!
You could had save your face by admitting you have nothing to say, now live with this failure, since you have saved neither your face, nor position.

Not that I expected anything more from a leftie. You are all weak-willed spineless slimes on your own, who can't support your position without resorting to calling everyone nazis or immediately running with tail between their legs, resorting to ad hominem, as you did.
So I am not the man-child here, darling.

He only treasures one political figure from the Soviet Union past: Stalin, who has nothing to do with communism and everything to do with being a totalitarian ruler, who gave no ****s about ideology, so he could keep power in his hands.

Also, saying that modern Russia is closer to the Communism, means you are incredibly ignorant and stupid, because, there is absolutely nothing "Communist" about modern Russia, neither in politics or economy. Like, you know, two major aspects, which make "Communism".

I do not expect any awareness or knowledge from the fanatic worshipping fairy tales, though.

They want to achieve similar results, i.e. elimination of "human" from "humanity" and turn people into meat puppets, created only to serve elites.

Communism attempts it by pretending to create "Worldwide Utopia", which in reality a prison, where everyone who disagree with a current warden are eliminated. Fascism does the same, just limited to one single nation at a time, since one of the core tenets of the Fascism is Nationalism.

Communism ignored biology for the sake of "equality", whereas Fascism doesn't recognize Women as anything beyond being breeders.
Both are ****.

Your last post shows that you usually have some interesting thoughts, lots of which I actually agree with. But your childish name-calling and rude tone is just an immediate turn-off for any desire to start a conversation or discussion. You‘re what, 40 years old? If you feel strong because you insult a stranger on the internet like a 14 year old, just do what makes you happy.

My advice: stop being a snowflake and take responsibility for your convictions. It is not a Twatter - no-one appreciates here your "devotion".
If you support vile ideology, I have no kind words for you.
That goes for all others from Left and Right.

It's sad, seeing you be as polite as possible to him but still getting insulted. It also looks ugly.

I firmly believe in diplomacy with people of opposing ideologies, up until a certain point.

I usually just ignore that behaviour now or keep my replies as short as possible on purpose.

Derek Chauvin was stabbed in federal prison, just days after it was confirmed that George Floyd died of fentanyl overdose dose, since he allegedly swallowed all his pills when he got pulled over. Now that the truth is out, he may get a 2nd trial, and now they’re trying to make him disappear. All those “protests of police brutality” you applaud were false flag virtue signal riots (sponsored by George Soros), the same leftwing extremists who burned down DC in 2017 during Trump inauguration and now stand with Hamas. Congratulations to them on their brave efforts of 2020, for the greater good, burning down an Autozone, attacking and killing civilians and cops, destroying and looting small businesses. “Equity”.

J6 was a clown show, supposedly bunch of pro 2A gun nuts tried to overthrow the government but didn’t bring any of their guns. Now the left has sympathy for VP Pence, who they hated the last 4 years, and their beloved Madam Speaker who liberal policies are destroying America. The J6 tapes recently released shows plenty of evidence that it was a setup by the left, high profile politicians such as Nancy Pelosi were in on it, even there’s a video of Capitol Police saying they are going undercover as Antifa or something like that.

Nobody believes in this nonsense anymore except leftist extremists who eat up all the commie propaganda. The left is backed into a corner now. The whole world sees how ridiculous and destructive left-wing politics are. They won’t go down without a fight to the death. J6 was probably just a test run, who knows what evil plans the left has yet to unleash.

Like you said, almost everything you just mentioned was a psyop, events manufactured to distract from other goings-on or achieve a certain reaction from the general public

My inkling would be to say, "That's crazy!" However, this was at the same point in time (as BLM at large, anyway) they were trying to convince us going to the beach and outdoor dining was extremely dangerous.

Every time I see a "germ shield" that's just a thin piece of plexiglass hanging freely in space, doing absolutely nothing, I am aghast at how docile and gullible we've become as a civilization
