      A bunch of overly sensitive Trump supporters are trying to shut down a play in NYC because there is a depiction of Trump being murdered (instead of Julius Caesar).  Why are Trump supporters such snowflakes?  They claim to love free speech but then try to shut it down anytime they don't like what is being said.

        It's funny, because that troupe does whatever president happens to be in power… so in the Obama years it was Obama-Caesar getting assassinated.  Snowflakes, I guess.

          There is no way in hell that they would ever get away with depicting an assassination of Obama.

            BTW, a different group did, in 2012, again in a production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.  I don't remember liberals having a meltdown.

                The right pretends to be in favor of free speech, when in reality, they have always been against it.

                  You guys set occupied building on fire to prevent speech you don't like.

                  Hell, you smash people over the head with bike locks who are trying to prevent a fight.

                  You set a girl's hair on fire because you don't like her hat.

                  You think it's ok to pour a bottle of piss over someone's head if they ask questions you can't answer.

                  You think it's ok for women to hit men, but not the other way around; gender equality.  BUT, it's ok for men to hit women if that woman doesn't agree with feminism.

                    I do recall you calling yourself a liberal, so if you're going to paint all liberals as the same, your including yourself too, pal.

                      Yeah, but according to you, that's "alt-right" now.

                      I have nothing to do with modern liberals because they are all scum.

                        What was that about finding common ground, or having an equal debate, or any debate? All liberals are scum is a generalization. It's non-productive.

                            Boy, this thread deteriorated quickly once we pointed out a conservative was wrong.

                              No I didn't because that statement is nowhere near the same ballpark as the statement you made, which is incendiary to the max. If you wanted to make a counter-statement against that one, you could have brought up proof, for instance bringing up gamergate, an internet movement against narratives that has been quite heavily censored by left0wing media outlets. To which the original poster would then post proof stating that various conservative media-outlets have done the exact same thing, concerning gay rights or gay news, and have always managed to whip up a moral panic.

                              But the statement "liberals are all scum" is something that is not, in any shape or way, something that will lead to a productive conversation about anything. It's like saying: "conservatives are all pedophiles." Which will rustle your jimmies, making you post something about how liberals in some other place were caught being pedophiles, or some shit like that. Escalating the situation further, and turning the whole conversation into a poisonous dumpster-fire.

                              So yes, I purposely ignored one comment, because that comment could lead to an actual discussion, where your comment only leads to widening the gap between two sides.

                                SO, generalizations are good, as long as it's liberals making them against conservatives.

                                Any ass clown that thinks that wearing their granny's clip on earrings makes them trans, is a fucking idiot.    The same goes with so many other things we've been seeing the last 10+ years.

                                    The comment you don't like is based on that and the other things I've talked about in this thread.

                                    Suitie is a modern liberal.

                                      I have said I'm a classical liberal. I guess anyone who you disagree with is a modern lib?

                                        You are nothing more than a whiney SJW modern liberal.    That is why you down vote everything your enemies post, no matter what is actually contained in the post.

                                        You're a bike lock liberal.  They say something you disagree with, you start swinging your bike lock at their head, cuz feelz.
