Current Events > Don't call out the GOP for what they are.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's warn worthy.

---

Yes, we're all sure you did so in a non-offensive, civil way.
---

Yeah, got to be civil and non offensive towards a group that has caused so many bad things like political corruption, the anti-mask movement, politicizing a pandemic, denying money to those who need it during the pandemic, trying to start a coup, etc.

Whoops, sorry. You can't call those things bad.

gotta maintain the bothsidesism

You can call out either side you want but just don't be extremely abrasive and hostile about it.

You can't, my topic wasn't abrasive or hostile

It's everyone else up in there getting riled up and fuming it up to be trolling to the point THE MODS smell it and say 'yep, we don't wanna deal with that'

a criticism of something is exactly that - it has features of antagonism because that's literally built into a criticism

to what end that antagonism serves, well - if you truly mean it for a better purpose how is that supposed to come on through when it's labeled as antagonizing someone else first and foremost

You thinking this means you're out of touch with how you sound. It was this whole unearned air of condescension in that thread, and you ignored peoples' posts to make stuff up and respond to that instead.

Can't be mean to the people currently ruining lives and getting people hurt and killed.

I mocked the hypocritical grandstanding guys like you were doing, not his death.

TC the new batch of mods is just bananas. Best just biting your tongue in political topics, or sound like a boring robot if you do participate. They're probably watching you waiting to get this account.

Nah, they're fine.

Getting suspended for saying "eat my boogers" or calling people annoying is not fine by any stretch, and multiple veteran mods have echoed that sentiment.

You wanted me to respond to a false premise of me not being able to make judgement calls and you want me to really entertain that like it's any true? Lol I wasn't out of touch there

Is the TC having a meltdown?

It wasn't a false premise. If you detected no hostility or trolling in the original thread, your judgment is in question. That same TC even admitted a couple posts up he wasn't being nice.

Funny, I don't get moderated even when I very harshly criticize the GOP. I regularly talk about how they're attempting to dismantle our democratic processes, how they've embraced White supremacy and religious bigotry in order to maintain relevance, how they should be soundly ejected from every level of public office...

whether you get moderated is dependent on if you directly triggered a mod or if the kewl kidz klub is coordinating a mass mark on your messages on their discord secret base

Lol it's a shame my topic got taken down cause I was about to respond to that - I don't really care if the OP post or whoever is trolling

At the end of the day I still have almost the same criticisms regardless of who says it, it's redundant to think in those ways that a legitimate claim isn't legitimate because it comes from someone you don't like or that is obviously antagonizing

Nothing happens by 'reverse trolling', but stuff CAN happen when you play ball and entertain the idea the whole way - in the case of the OP of the other topic I agreed, Democrats ARE cooked though

Well I didn't imagine it'd go down like that considering what everyone else wishes/imagines/says about Republicans lol

Seriously, why do I need 3 pages of statistics and 3 paragraphs of quotes and italicized info in the OP to call a Republican a moron?

Th3HonestTruth posted...

What is with miserable depressed posters making these cringey goofy on purpose posts to act like they don't take the site as seriously as they do when people tell them to calm down? I've noticed a ton of these poster types use this tactic.

Someone quoted a line from the movie Friday. I proceeded to reference the scene in which was quoted.

Why is every sort of criticism of this site considered a meltdown like we take the site too seriously to certain posters?

Oh so it's a new set of moderators now? I see

Yeah I got modded the other day for pointing that libertarians want to repeal age of consent laws so that they can fuck teenagers.

Is this a real thing? I'm legit asking

i mean, i'm sure the number of people who are both of those things is greater than zero. but it's (hopefully) obvious that it's not a belief many have, let alone an official part of the platform.

Did you do it in a topic about his death?

Are you still going on about that?

tote_all posted...

Fuck, sorry, my bad. Why am I insisting of respecting a man's death? What the fuck is wrong with me?

How many deaths does a man need to be responsible for before it's ok to not respect his own death?

tote_all posted...

I said what in the other topic. Mods deleted the posts so I won't repeat it here since I appear to be on thin ice.

---

tote_all posted...

So you admit you insulted me and got modded for it? wtf

I didn't insult you. I stated my opinion on the guy's death and the GOP which was offensive to some people.

---

tote_all posted...

But you just said you posted "what the fuck was wrong with me".

... For insisting on respecting that particular man's death. Not sure how that's a personal attack on you, just why I don't agree with the sympathy he's getting. For the record the "what the fuck is wrong with me" are your words.

---

Alright break it up you two.

---

tote_all posted...

It was sarcasm, and you specifically and unironically replied to that.

It's fucked that the side that's supposed to be more empathetic cannot respect someone's death. Really fucked.

It's hard to be empathetic when their denial of the situation and their insistence of putting money over people lives, and their politicizing of the whole mask thing led to 350k deaths so far, and millions more infected with potentially life changing effects.

Don't bother trying to explain it to him or many others here on this site. They don't like it when you call out Republicans on their BS.

TruthSpitter posted...

There are multiple cliques that engage in the behavior now. At least one leans right-wing while the others I wouldn't say have a political lean poliwag.

That's really pathetic. Seems like they just get triggered too much.
