Man...

My location is an homage to duffee and some other ****face, a mashup, based on their race-realism-bell-curve-bull****. They were posting that tripe about the average IQ in Africa being ~75, like, there are airports and skyscrapers and power grids in Africa but naw, everybody there is literally ******ed and drooling on themselves.

That's why I felt it deserved to go in the LOC. I was blown away that people were pushing that in the year of our lord 2 thousand and 14.

Related, do you recall when I started posting in P, like mid 2014? I was on the team of, "O hey you guys, you're exaggerating and being ridiculous, they're not that racist and deplorable." It took me what, all of 3 weeks to go, "Oh, ohhhhhh, OK, I see what you mean. Let me lace up my ****kickers."

That's why I believe the so-called SJW movement is a reaction. Back in HS I would not have believed people were going HAM with scientific racism. There just wasn't any exposure to the common deplorable, but the internet changed all that. FFS I read The Bell Curve back then but thought, yeah, no, nobody is gonna believe this ****, it's like a short jump removed from ****ing phrenology. Now, a HS kid can go online and be exposed to just 24/7 deplorable hate in any comments section.

hmmm

thanks chez

Shut up?

Drugs. Don't do them, kids.

In regards to torture. Why should we play by the rules but the criminals and terrorists clearly do not! why do we kling to this need to uphold this pure image of our country at the expense of our national security?

"Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share"

"Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding"

Because we are not like them. And they will never really understand the much greater strength that comes from compassion and decency.

If you're being attacked by a pitbull are you going to show him compassion and decency?

You should play by the rules because when making arguments on why you're the good guys you shouldn't have to quote a ****ing batman villain to make your terrible point about why you should torture people. Hint: it was the criminal who wanted to destroy the world who said those things, who was then killed "by" batman because he's wrong. He's supposed to be wrong. That's the entire point of a movie that has morality that is easy enough for 8 year olds to understand.

Are you going to move on to quoting the joker next?

well, from a pragmatic standpoint, bc its been shown that torture doesnt work. so your whole argument about "at the expense of national security" is straight up proven false.

and from an ethical standpoint, bc we are better than them and hold ourselves to higher standards. like, why would do you want us to act like criminals and terrorists? I mean, I thought the whole point was that we are different than them.

umm, how does this even matter? if a pitbull or a person is attacking you, then yes, obv, you should fight back and protect yourself with any means necessary.

but I really struggle to see how this translates to torturing a defenseless person.

Victor, he can't even understand the basic morality of Batman, a pop culture figure that is for young children. He literally can't see good from evil in batman, one of the most black/white examples of good vs evil in culture around the world.

That's missing the strength which comes from how compassionate and decent people cooperate.

It doesn't matter whom the author of the quotes is. Just because RAG turns out to be a "villian" doesn't mean what he said is untrue. Within the context of the movie these quotes should make perfect sense.

In a perfect world perhaps. In the real world this philosophy is being taken advantage of. At some point we must see reality as it is and adjust.

How do you misinterpret a batman movies morality? This is literally for children. I like how you have to use villain in quotations for the dude who wants to destroy the largest city in the world. From defending nazis to "is this batman villain a bad guy" you really have the best causes.

Mong, explain in detail with sources how the USA and other western governments not engaging in torture is "being taken advantage of." Please, defend this assertion with facts and not pop culture references.

Pretty much. The idea that good ideas will inevitably defeat bad ideas is at stark contrast to history. If that **** was true we wouldn't need schools, just give every kid a library card. There needs to be guidance from people who know better.


But as to your first, point, yeah. wil, every time you and FoldN post, another Nazi gets punched. You guys are radicalizing the normal decent people into antifa by being gleefully racist apologists for fascism at every turn. People are losing patience with arguing with your caste of dip****tery on the internet and have moved to direct action.

McInnes got maced a couple of days ago at NYU and cried like a wil about it.

One of the weaknesses of liberalism is that it does look like it is weak even though it is strong.

This may be an unsolvable problem. I hope not but I've never heard of a solution.

You think Batman Begins is a childrens movie?

You moderate a white supremacist forum chezlaw.

Not directed at me, but I think there's a Star Wars mentality in the US, black-and-white stories about good and evil, and Batman fits in that. Batman Begins was essentially neo-conservative propaganda, like the scene where Batman has monitors spying on everyone, only Batman can handle that kind've responsibility. Essentially the whole scene is pro NSA. The Joker is the terrorists, and Batman's the good guy, and blah blah blah. I so want to leave the US.

You honestly believe that being exposed to bad ideas makes people believe in them? Really? Seriously?

That's not a normal view. People don't start reading stormfront-like websites and become white supremacists. That just isn't normal, it doesn't make logical sense. You sound like the people who are concerned about the amount of porn on the internet that is available literally everywhere. Did it turn us into a society of rapists or sexual predators? Of course not.

Look at what you've turned into, fly. A fear-mongering, blubbering mess who can't look at things logically. You think racists are being created?

Lol.

No I don't but the reality is that when push comes to shove even you and me are on the same side and cooperate. You may deny it but we do it anyway. You may not like me but it wont matter beyond some shouting

It's just a comic book movie, bro. You don't have to psycho-analyze it. That gay Teletubby didn't make dudes start sucking dick, you know.

I think all civilized countries are built upon the values of showing compassion. I don't think it's effecient to apply it to all scenarios. For Instance, I believe we are engaged in a war with terrorists. I don't think these values should be applied to those whos ideology is so far removed from a humane way of living. I feel rules of engagement and limits to what our military personnel are governed by prevent us from playing on a level battle field.

This is were I was going with the quotes above.
