The Other Forums Thread for 90's Kids ONLY

[Nintex]

So, you guys posting on Reset and dragging posts back here to complain about specific users realize that's the beginning of the end of your posting career over there, right? It's not a viable strategy long term if you care about your Reset account. Eventually the mods and admins will start picking off the people talking shit or insulting other posters, just as Besada did.

I understand if you're fed up with that community and are just shitposting but I'm trying to figure out what YOU think is going to happen by using this thread like that.

if you care about your Reset account

That's basically what I'm asking, yeah.

Shitpost here OR go be part of the circus. There are some exceptions to that but those people aren't generally looking to stir shit, they're just part of both boards which is fine. I don't understand hating Reset but continuing to post there when riding the fence is disingenuous and USER WARNED: NOT POSTING IN GOOD FAITH. Some of the posters of the past pulled it off because they were actually funny or had a point to make. It made this thread entertaining to read. Some of you brand new people just seem to drag lame arguments back here looking for a pat on the head when someone disagrees with you.

You always had people like Devo doing that shit here. The Bore = support group for butthurt Gaffers/Rejects

That's called diversifying your portfolio 

[Clockwork5]

My overall point is the new users, and Riotous is an example of this, have been here since October and has yet to make a post outside this thread.

As always, if you're not going to engage with the site past this thread, you're generally not worth my time (or the time of any regular here.) IMO anyways.

I've been posting in a couple other threads people only call out newbies in this one and its usually people I never see outside of this thread.

It’s way too depressing to follow politics 24/7. I used to wake up and read all new PoliGAF pages before I started work, along with most of the front page of r/politics. Can’t do that shit anymore.

Even center left posters are becoming radicalized these days.

Most of us are here for the fuckery, I know I am. This thread is mostly just for dumb bullshit but this constant crying over "look at this poster on Reset that disagrees with me" isn't entertaining and it has been happening more and more recently.

You could just look at Jansen's posts in this thread. He/she/xir seems to be pretty good at cataloguing the general fuckery.

These days, my resolve is,"don't get offended at things even if they make you mad" politically. I know where my power truly lies and it ain't in bitching. Can't wait to vote!

That community can't be reached. People go to it for the sole purpose of not being challenged. If they didn't have the heavy handed moderation and dogpiling, the nutters wouldn't survive.

Punch Nazis, but no guillotine jokes - that's violent.

Are the central left really saying to punch nazi's? The further left spectrum (where I am) certainly is, and they're fucking nutters.

Well, my twitter feed is mostly posts from sports pundits, sports bloggers and a couple political accounts that are prolific. However, the sports writers out-tweet the political ones and the political ones only tweet in the morning.

The point being that sports punditry and blogging is highly left leaning, but I'd figure they are center left. Just regular democrat voters that aren't real deep thinkers on their politics. However, those people constantly tweet about Trump and they're retweeting the Richard Spencer punch on its 'anniversary'. Not only are they celebrating it, but they're getting mad at the "non violent liberals" responding to tell them that tactic doesn't work. (And it doesn't, and Richard Spencer would openly admit he gets sympathy and recruits out of being punched. They've braggged about how much AntiFa helps them recruit at their own Alt Right speaking events.)

Trump derangement syndrome is real and its viral as can be.

Uhhh aside from immediately turning to violence without provocation which gives the Nazi's fuel and increases their ranks and isn't how a civilized democratic society should handle things, I don't know.

Nazis have a right to advocate ethnic cleansing by institutional force or physical, liberals are supposed to be better than that, therefore, being ok with or not immediately staking out a false equivalency about the equal evil of ANTIFA when a Nazi gets punched, makes the group as a whole as radical as the Nazis.

Unprovoked physical violence is for children and distinguished mentally-challenged people that have the mental capacity of children.

[Himu]

I'm convinced most "Nazi's" of today have come to their positions through bad circumstances. I don't think they really want to advocate ethnic cleansing. Chalk that up to naivete, but I think most of them are just lashing out frustrations and I don't think punching them convinces them to recant their Nazi-ism in any way and only serves to further radicalize. I also don't think the people who advocate violence against them have ever really, truly been in a violent situation much less know what a true fight feels like and anyone who knows what a true fight feels like knows that violence is the last fucking thing you want to do. When you have devolved to the point in a democracy where you no longer challenge others through debate but through violence, that's when the dominoes fall and I highly value the democratic ideal that our republic hopes to serve. Any argument saying that it's okay to punch people because it's "American tradition" is baffling. For one, we aren't at war with the Neo Nazi's. You're not a fucking soldier. And America has waged war with countless groups that didn't deserve it whether it's Native Americans or Vietnamese farmers. Yet these same people who proudly parade America's Nazi violence are some of the loudest anti-American's around. Just being honest. We agree that the Nazi's are ridiculous and need to be stopped from growing but the methods...whoo boy.

Seriously. Maybe I just grew up in a different era of the internet, but I can't imagine being outraged by a Trump tweet. Who gives a shit, he's not even speaking to you (he's speaking to his base).

[Himu]

How could you be offended by that tweet and not laugh out loud at the following quote: "Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months?"

Like, it's hilarious.

[etiolate]

I believe Steven Pinker has a point about how people end up on the white ethno state alt-right kick. (Leadbelly posted the video pages back.)

Basically, they haven't developed the critical thinking tools or the care for nuance that is needed to defend an open mind from bad ideas. They then see lies from group X and see a fact from group Y and become overly accepting of group Y. They are still fanatics, but they just switched sides. This is also how you get Social Studies Warriors. That sort of group is full of people who very mean and rude to gay people or black people in the past, then has a "wokening" or whatever and... remains incredibly mean and rude to people but have found out which targets they can get away with abusing. They were once asshole bros, now they're asshole cucks, never learning the asshole part was the problem.

AntiFa and Alt right groups, they specifically target lost, directionless youth. They give them a false ideal of order or a bad cause dressed up as a good one., Those groups are full of people who haven't' developed mental survival mechanisms.

[Boredfrom]

Being fair, there is a lot genuine scumbags in those groups and assholes like Spencer are "faces" to a more way more vile underside.

I just dont think is good that some people alude to "You can be Captain America if you punch Nazis regardless of what they are doing at the moment because violance is moraly justifcated if you are good guy."

I dont mind people punching Spencer on camera or beating a Nazi that was harassing a minority, but lets not pretend that violence is a healty solution to social problems.

No way, dude. It's hilarious. It's such a ridiculous quote parsed in the most hilarious manner. Fascism? Constantly lucky? We aren't lucky. We just have checks and balances. The system is made so that he cannot wield that much power. He's just playing politics. It's no different than Obama administration celebrating how much job creation (tm) there was going on when most of it was minimum wage jobs and college grads ending up with dead end wages. That's just politics, dude. Read between the lines. No use getting angry at everything. You'll go crazy if you keep getting mad and can't learn to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

I guess I don't think espousing genocide and the institution of a white ethnostate isn't unprovocative. I'm not gonna clock some dude wearing a swastika on the train, but I get a kick out of seeing it happen. Unlike Cindi, when someone tells me they're an advocate for the removal of all but the white race from the planet, I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, especially considering they were putting up numbers not too long ago

Fascism would be locking up those protesters en masse, then quietly disposing of their bodies. You can go find the tyrants doing that in the world right now.

Laughing at them or trolling them is being an ass. We don't have rules against the President being a troll, we just didn't' expect to end up with a troll as President.

One major reason I feel this way is because we have what Nazi Germany didn't: freedom of speech. The Nazi's made that illegal for Jews. But we can contest the Nazi's by force of will and wit. And let's be honest. They're such a small, small minority. After Charleston even conservatives dismissed them, calling their actions evil and not wanting anything to do with them. Convincing yourself they're the majority or even a major threat is a bus ride to Crazy Town. That isn't to say we don't have a white radical/terrorist/supremacist problem, but the way it's parsed by the people of Anti-Fa and other left groups presents it as an existential threat when everyone and their mother hates the fucking Nazi's.

god, your comparison so so fucking warped it's mind blowing. millions in the streets protesting a vile human being and he sits on his ivory tower yelling "yes! see how the masses cheer me!" this is the definition of what a pseudo dictator would be doing.

Here's a tip: The alt-right doesn't' advocate for genocide. They advocate for an ethno-state. They actually believe there is a white genocide. They then use this victim-based reasoning to push for apartheid.

Because it' s a.) demonstrably false (just take a gander at /pol/ any day of the week) and b.) nobody actually believes that fascists are genuinely white "nationalists" instead of white supremacists who just want everyone to be separate but equal. Enforcing a white ethnonationalist state in the US would require genocide to achieve it.

Roseanne Revival to Include “Gender Creative” Non-Binary Child

Enforcing a white ethnonationalist state in the US would require genocide to achieve it.

Enforcing a white ethnostate would likely lead to violence. That's one of the faults in their reasoning. However, they also have this idea of "Hitler took the wrong tactic" with his genocide.  There is likely some truly vile, murderous minds in the group, but its also full of half-assed thoughts in half-formed minds. The majority aren't genocidal, but they are living in ignorance about the true outcome of their ideas. They will have to use force to accomplish their goal.

However, the truth is they aren't seeking genocide. They seek an ethno-state. So you have to approach it honestly and then point out the flaws and where those flaws lead. 

ps: /pol is too much a chicken coup of internet behavior to take as genuine marching orders of the alt-right. I am basing this on what their members argue as their talking points in interviews, discussions and gatherings.
