If I had the right to shoot random people I disagreed with, exercising that right would still be (in most cases) a bad thing to do

Think that's an exaggeration? Replace 'shoot' with 'deport' or 'imprison' and it's already happening.

A kid asks Trump to sign his hat at the White House Easter Egg Roll. The president signs ... and then tosses the hat into the crowd. https://t.co/7ExdhpO97H


He's not an asshole just because of his policies. He's just an asshole.

It can be both!

It blows my mind that this is even a necessary argument to have

Like 2500 years of democracy has always posited that politics do not reflect one's morality. Morality is based on motivations, not solutions.


Literally can use this logic to justify voting for Hitler as a moral act.

Literally can justfy voting for the continiation of slavery this way as long as the claimed motivation was something like, "the blacks are better off being taken care of on the plantations anyway."

That's nice. I'm also not making that argument.

Serious question: Kenri and KP-- are you two successful in life? Because I find it extremely hard to believe you'd be able to get anywhere socially or professionally with that kind of close-minded attitude.

the feeling is mutual tbh

Answer the question please

I don't have to hide my politics to keep my friends so I guess I'm socially successful at least.

There is another angle you can see where he is sort of tossing the hat back to the guy that gave it to him who got pushed back slightly into the crowd.

Not a great throw but it isn't like he was going "WEEE FREE HAT".

To be honest if your current path in life has you trolling a political topic on a video game message board with copypasted memes lifted from the most basement dwelling corner of the internet, it is probably time for a self-evaluation, followed by either a *severe* change in life goals, or simply hopping in front of a bus because you can't sink much lower than you are

But that implies a modicum of self-awareness and may be asking too much!

this is a great post because it comes so close to self-realization, to correctly identifying SephG as a super liberal dude who has spent the last ~8 years playing a Republican devil's advocate to limited success until he found not just one but a dozen foils politically (re)awakened and emboldened under a Trump presidency ready to take him at his word

and then it falls at the last hurdle

I definitely don't feel the need to be diplomatic to brain damaged people on an internet forum who have consistently demonstrated an utter lack of human empathy and an unwillingness to change their mind when repeatedly and directly confronted with facts that go against their worldview.

P.S. Trump ran his campaign on a lack of social etiquette. Seemed good enough for you at the time - oh wait, it wasn't, you forgot you just fell in line after he won.

hypothetically they can be illegitimate and this whitewashing claim can be made up. Being bad doesn't mean every bad thing about them is true.

They are trying to correct bad behavior in people by telling them "hey that's bad" instead of rewarding them for it with a pat on the back. Sometimes it works and people change for the better. Other times it doesn't and you get something ranging from a healthy debate to an Alex Jones fueled tirade. Either way it is better to try and fix the problem than ignore it because then nothing ever gets fixed.

I never said "all who have opposing political beliefs" but it's pretty telling that you have to keep attacking me personally and misconstruing my argument instead of actually responding to it.

This. Ulti, seriously, dude. You're better than this.

Even theDonald said that was just a bad picture because the dude thought "Picture of TV with cell phone durr hurr." You can even see the background image isn't whitewashed at all. Neither is the front. It's called contrast.

https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/853767088191754240

so they went to the trouble of whiting him up and then later show the accurate picture? Why?

Look at how the words on the news ticker are in the exact same spot in both lightened images... it's like the two guys saw the same screenshot and separately whitened it up. Or the two guys somehow took their pictures at the exact same moment.

And the guy is somehow way brighter in the top pic than the bottom one, but the ticker looks similarly bright in both shots. Makes more sense to me that some people posted misleading CNN screenshots to start shit on Twitter.
