Enjoy your echo chamber.

I guess you mean like social media is the left's echo chamber.     The same goes for most media outlets.

This forum section is only an echo chamber for the right because leftists can't handle conservatives having an equal footing in the conversation.   Liberals only like it when they can get conservatives banned for wrong think in places like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

You won't see liberals on Vid.om, Minds.com and whatnot because they can't handle that they don't auto ban "bad" people, as defined by the left.

Liberals are spoiled brats, who can't handle not getting their way.

You misunderstand. Let me clarify- by echo chamber I mean a place where only one set of views are represented (the ones that conform with your own views). Celebrating the disappearance of dissent (which mhorn was doing i.e. "there are no liberals left") is an example of being myopic because you tend to lose perspective when there is no one to question your views or challenge how you think.

This is the damage that you inflict on yourself by enforcing the echo chamber where only your views and the views that mirror yours are allowed or seen. BOTH SIDES are guilty of this. And it can exist in any forum or social media. It's NOT exclusive to the left. I have friends on both sides of the political spectrum who sadly choose not to maintain any connections with those who disagree with them.

Personally, I have worked hard to avoid it on Facebook by NOT unfriending or unfollowing people who have views I disagree with. It's not easy. Sometimes you want to just weed them out because you can't get over how stupid or ignorant you think they are. But as I said, if I were to do that, then I wouldn't be exposed to other views, to dissent. I would risk stagnating and being blind to my own failings and not be able to understand how my opponents think. If you can't allow opponents to challenge your views, then your position must really be fragile.  

In the end, you decide for yourself how open or narrow minded you are. You can silence the voices you disagree with but you would only be hurting yourself in the long run.  

For Fred- Please give Obama a rest. He is no longer president and shifting the dialogue to his failings does NOT erase the failings and almost total lack of substance and achievements for Trump. Come up with something new, or better yet, maybe acknowledge the fact that the current POTUS is NOT perfect, and has NOT been doing as good a job as he would want us to believe.

Oh- and as a final note, for those of you (you know who you are) who like to engage in silly reputation manipulations on this forum, have at it! I know how much you need me to post something new so you can deduct reputation points from me. LOL! I await hitting the red zone.
Just remember though- no matter how high your green bar, you can't change or remove the stain of all the thumbs down votes you've earned.  >:D  :laugh: :laugh:

I don't know why you thought you had to correct me.  You described the main social media outlets and most mainstream news outlets.

Facebook, Twitter, YouTuber and whatnot actively ban or severely punish in some way those to the right of Stalin.

Patreon actively bans wrong thinkers, while actively promoting and supporting groups like Antifa.    They banned Lauren Southern, then took the money donated to her and gave it to one of the Antifa accounts on their site.

CNN purposely edits videos to maintain the saintliness of the left.    That black chick didn't call for calm and peace, as the CNN version of the video showed.  She called for blacks to burn down white neighborhoods, not black neighborhoods.    It was only caught because the raw footage, by a reporter from a non mainstream news outlet posted the entire video.    Even though other networks were there also, and knew the truth, they all maintained the "peace and calm" narrative.

As for the reputation manipulating issue, I hope you realize that it was a backlash from the leftists following their enemies around and downvoting EVERYTHING they posted, regardless of content.

Look at it like this.  The left in Portland blocked the roads and sidewalks, preventing people from going to work.  They physically attacked anyone who dared not obey their roadblock.    A girl Antifa thought she had the right to punch a guy in the face and because she has a gash, he couldn't hit back.    Well, he hit her back and the whiney leftists got butt hurt because men aren't supposed to hit girls.    Now let's not forget 2 things here; 1) leftists are also feminists, so gender equality  2) leftists can dish it out, but can't take it.

So, the moral of the story is; if you don't do X to others, X won't be done in return.

You guys wanna manipulate the approval system, then don't get butt hurt when the other side manipulates the reputation system.

Sorry, but liberals won't do anything to islam since muslims are their favorite people, even as they are blowing up kids.

SJWs changed the definition of racism so that blacks can't be racist, while doing racist things.  The claim that they don't have the power to do it, while the government, police and universities support them and arrest whites who don't obey the blacks who are oppressing them.  That clearly puts blacks into the SJW definition of racism.    So by the classic and SJW definitions, blacks are racist.

Much of what you and your fellow leftists call "white supremacy" isn't.  It's the same way that you called me a racist for pointing out that a Congressman (without ever mentioning race) told 2 lies; at the time of the conversation.  The left scream racist, Nazi and countless other names at their enemies to justify their hatred and abuse of them.    Eric Clanton's lawyer tried using the same bullshit tactic in that hallway "press conference".  Yvette Felarca is claiming the same thing.  Anything they do to those they don't like is justified because their enemy is XYZ.

Abusing white people for something they had no part in is bullshit.    I was mugged by a couple of blacks almost 30 years ago.  Am I justified in abusing all blacks for that?    Of course not.  So why is it ok for blacks to abuse whites for something neither were a part of?!

It's funny how only blacks on the left are screaming all this nasty shit at white people.  Blacks on the right aren't vilifying white people at every turn.    Of course, those are the black people that get the death threats from liberal blacks and SJWs.

It's not even disputed anymore except for the most delusional liberals that the DNC screwed over Bernie for Hillary.

I'm sure this is why the DNC refused to fully cooperate with the FBI in the hacking case, at least in part.

LOL, leftist losers down vote the truth.

They hate the fact that the Torah, Bible and Quran all allowed slavery, both chattel and indentured.    I understand that they hate the torah and bible, but they love the quran.

They hate the fact that the 1st chattel slave owner was a former indentured slave and black man.  He felt that offspring of his indentured servants were his permanent property (aka chattel slaves).

California protects it's criminals.  Go figure!

As does most of the west.

The UK, but especially Scotland, protects bad lawyers.

The "right to privacy" in the EU has been a disaster for consumers, landlords and countless others.

Trading Standards in the UK used to be pretty good.  You could contact them to see if a business you are considering doing business with has any "valid" (as deemed by TS) complaints from consumers.    Thanks to the right to privacy laws, that's no longer possible.

If you're a landlord, you no longer have the right to find out if a prospective tenant has a history of failing to keep up their part of the contract, etc.

Oddly, despite the RTP law, you can still check to see if someone is a pedo.  Of course that won't tell you if it's a guy who, at 15yo had sex with his 15yo girlfriend.  A pedo is a pedo in the UK.  Females rarely get charges, let along convicted of being a pedo.

The same goes for domestic violence.  A woman can go to any police station and find out if the man in their life (no proof needed) has been ACCUSSED of domestic violence.  The excuse for this being gendered is the cost involved if men had the same rights.

Enjoy your echo chamber.

Liberals are spoiled brats, who can't handle not getting their way.

Al Sharpton was on several shows in the last week saying that we need to remove basically every statue that offends non whites.

There was a black woman (I assume, you know gender stuff) professor on Tucker Carlson wanting to delete all US history until some point in the future when liberals tell us it's ok to start recording it again.

Basically, the liberal narrative is "if it offends anyone even in the slightest, unless it's a leftist icon, then it must be deleted from history".

Even "Gone with the Wind" is under attack.  Leftists are saying that it must be locked away and never seen again.  Ok, that's the "moderate" liberals.  The not so moderate liberals want it and everything else they don't like to be destroyed.

Pretty much all the books I read in school are on the book burning list by liberals.  Of course, they want to replace it with feminist shit and Assata Shakur (FBI most wanted, fugitive in Cuba, cop killer and inspiration for BLM), WEB DuBois and other anti white racists.  This is just some of the new school reading list the left wants to indoctrinate our kids with.

See, you never want to contrast/compare the actions on both sides.  You only want to blame the right.

Like other liberals, you automatically blame ALL righties for the action of 1, while making it virtuously impossible to do the same for leftists.  You're that kid that makes up games so only he can win.

Obama and BLM (and countless other leftists) were in bed together.  So everything bad done by BLM and their supporters is the absolute fault of Obama, Hillary, Soros and many others.  Unless you are willing to admit that you are making up special rules for the left.

Obama, Hillary, Soros and countless others did to the left, what you are claiming trump is doing to the right.  Under Obama, blacks were so oppressed that they had the support of various levels of governments and universities that they were able to, with the protection of the police and state, oppress whites in a way that whites would never be allowed to do to blacks; such as "white people go around".  The police only arrested whites who tried to cross the bridge, not the blacks that forced whites to walk through the creek.    The same kind of thing at Evergreen and countless other places.

As much as I hate racists, they too have the right to free speech within the rules set by the Supreme Court.

As you're a Leftist, I understand your inability to understand to see the events of the last 15 to 20 years and see that this is blow back for all the bullshit from the left.  We've talked about most of this stuff before.  The white guy dragged from his car and beaten before the blacks stole his car because they ASSUMED he voted for Trump.  The Chicago kidnapping as another lovely example.    Blacks and leftists were screaming that none of this was a hate crime because only whitey can be racist and commit hate crimes.

I noticed you set extremely strict rules on blaming the left for actions of the left.  Typical, so I'm not surprised.  Ok, BLM is guilty of the murders of cops due to their followers killing cops.

Speaking of BLM, clearly everything belongs to them.  They can't see an event that they don't want to make about themselves.  The Orlando shooting of a gay nightclub, was taken over and became an event about BLM and hating white people.    Gay Pride events all over the west have been hijacked by BLM.  The pride flag is no longer about sexuality, but about race (except whites, cuz reasons).

In the UK, "visible minorities" make up less than 10%, yet legally, they have to have 35% representation in the media.  You know, cuz equality.  It used to be 30% but Tony Blair increased it to 35%.  Apparently, having 3 times more representation that your share of the population isn't enough.

If you took an honest look at the figures, white supremacy was dying in the west, then along came identity politics from the west.    NYC criminalizing the use mis-gendering and the use of the wrong personal pronouns.  Canada following this lead.    Western leaders refusing to call out Islamic terrorism and simply labelling it as terrorism.  The Paris McDonald's shooter was "de-muslimed".  They removed all references to his being a muslim and the anti west/pro islam stuff in his backpack.  Even though his 1st name was David, he never used it.  He only ever used his middle name, Ali.  Despite this, the media almost never called him Ali.  The BBC edited a video where a classmate referred to him as Ali.  After about the first 12 hours, not a single left leaning media source called him Ali or even had it in articles about the topic.

Liberals in the UK allowed over 1,400 young white girls to be raped by a muslim group of men, mostly from Pakistan, because they didn't want to be seen as racist.  That was just in Rotherham.  Turns out the same thing was going on in many places.

Do you get why white supremacy is back on the rise again?

Modern liberals are spoiled brats, who's parents told them they were the greatest singers on the planet when in truth they should have their vocal cords ripped out so they can't do that shit ever again.

Feelz mean everything and facts mean nothing, to these scum.

Even when a false flag is proven as such, they still blame the right for it, by some fucked up mental gymnastics (aka apologetics).

We had 2 muslim girls, in separate incidents, claim to be victims of head scarf pulling by righties.  Turns out that both were false flags, to deflect their strict parents from getting upset they were late coming back for whoring at the clubs.

We had the black girls that started the fight on the bus, but claimed they were the victims of racism.    The bitches were too stupid to know the bus had CCTV.    Even with proof that the black girls caused all the bullshit on the bus, liberal media outlets still portrayed them as the victims.

In NYC we had the muslim chick spray paint anti muslim shit on her car, being too stupid to check if there were any cameras around.  Liberals still acted as if she was the victim.

Even TYT condemns false flagging.  Sadly, virtually no other liberals do.

@raphjd:

So, you'd be happy if Trump condemned every single liberals for the bikelock leftists?

You call it "deflection" to prevent anyone from comparing the groups and their actions.    It's funny how you never want to compare groups you demonize (rightly or wrongly) to any other group.

There have been stabbings and shooting by leftists, so all people on the left are fucking evil and need to be killed.

I hate racists, they suck.   HOWEVER, like we've been seeing the last 15 to 20 years, the left has been calling their enemies all the most hateful names as a way of justifying the evil shit the left does.

Watch Tucker Carlson.  Liberals label anyone against illegal immigration, disagrees with BLM, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc as Nazis and racists.

You called me a racist simply for pointing out that a Congressman lied twice, at the time, in recent months.     That's how easy it is for the left to throw those kinds of nasty labels around.

You of all people know that I have called out violence on the left and that BEFORE CHARLOTTESVILLE the right hadn't done anything close to what the left was doing. However, the moment someone was ran over by a white supremacist in our president's name, the comparison argument became a losing argument. And for whatever reason, you're still clinging to that argument when pretty much everyone across the political spectrum has accepted that that argument is OVER. There are no points of comparison with death because you can't bring someone back from the dead. Now that we're at this point, your "bike lock liberal" argument has basically lost its validity. I was with you criticizing antifa and you know I was. But not now. Until antifa runs someone over or causes someone to lose their life AND THE MURDERER CLEARLY STATES THEY DID IT IN THE NAME OF ANTIFA, this argument is OVER and there are NO comparisons.

Now back to the point of this thread, the president calling KKK members and other white supremacists "good people" directly ties to his desire to execute five innocent black men. As a result, the overwhelming majority of the country is done with him. No amount of derailment by you or anyone else will change that fact and this problem isn't going away just because he got rid of one of the white supremacists in the White House.

I know you condemned the violence on both sides.   I saw how your fellow liberals reacted, too.

Liberals claim that whenever one of their own do something bad, such as smashing people over the head with bike locks, it has nothing to do with being liberals.    On the flip side, when someone on the right does something bad, all people on the right are guilty.   We saw this here by a few liberals, but mainly from Magenta.   Magenta and others kept up the "they weren't liberals, there were individuals" bullshit.

The left beat and stomped unconscious and bloodied people laying on the ground because they looked like they could be Nazis.

Professor Eric Clanton (the ultimate bike lock liberal) hit several people over the head with his bike lock.   In the process, he fractured the skulls of at least 3 people.   The most blatant case was the guy trying to keep everyone from getting violent.   Clanton used his bike lock because he knew it would do extreme damage.    You would expect that he's smart enough to know that smashing people over the head with that bike lock, that he could kill them.

You fellow liberals purposely set an occupied building on fire to prevent wrong speak.

Your fellow liberals (smugglypuff, to be exact) attacked a retired couple walking their dog because they looked like wrong thinkers.

Let's not forget about the shooting at the Repub baseball practise.

There's been shootings and stabbings by leftists.

If anything bad by the right is done in Trump's name, then anything bad done by the left is done in the name of every liberal politico.

Obama, Hillary, and the rest are a part of this discussion.   They played the race/vag card every time they could.     Obama race baited Michael Brown and even sent 100 FBI agents to prove it.   "HANDS UP, DON'T SHOOT" was proven to be a complete lie but black politicians kept using it.

Where the fuck were all the leftist heroes when their own were committing extremely violent acts, including murder?!     They were doubling down blaming the victims or excusing the vile actions of the left in some sort of bullshit way.

I down voted you because you're a political hack.

You violated the rules and you lied about why you did it.

You don't have to scroll through this section and all the threads here to read other sections.

Only leftists call me a racist, Nazi and whatnot.

People on the right, regardless of race, never do.

He's quoting Spam's picture.

The forum software doesn't like quoting live link (external) pictures.

@TroopK:

I am not 'here' - I have to scroll through all this nonsense to see if anyone has written anything interesting in other forums 

That makes no sense.

Also, read the rules.

@royalcrown89:

@raphjd:

It's hypocritical for the left to talk this way, after their butt hurtedness over the right talking the same way about Obama.

Thank you for proving #45's behavior is indefensible. Your use of the Obama Card is greatly appreciated raphjd.

That bullshit is nothing more than trying to prevent discussion outside of the topics the left demand we talk about.

And in case you forget, I'm not a Trump fan.

I'm a "gun nut" but I believe in gun control laws.

Colin Fergusson (sp?) the Long Island RR killer would have been prevented from going to VA to buy a gun if there was a national registry of people legally deemed to be a nutter.    If the states don't want to cooperate, then there should be a law that prevents people from going to another state to buy a gun.

I have several other ideas, but you get the idea.

So, you'd be happy if Trump condemned every single liberals for the bikelock leftists?

How butt hurt will the left be when leftist icons are removed from sight as well?

We know how leftists reacted when the had to follow the same rules on social media as the ones they demanded for their enemies.   Leftists lost their fucking minds, more so than normal.

Leftists believe it's ok to set an occupied building on fire to prevent words they don't like.

Leftists believe it's ok to beat and stomp an already bloody and unconscious man bleeding on the ground.

Leftists believe that anything they do is justified by their outrage and their hatred of their enemies.

It's hypocritical for the left to talk this way, after their butt hurtedness over the right talking the same way about Obama.

Let's not forget the left also talked the same way about GWB.
