An r/neoliberal thread made the front page and it's a weird place.

Nice.

Thought it would be a meme about how people overreact to singular events by small margins.

Blue people are ime less gun-totey/aggressive, more open minded, more tolerant (despite lacking tolerance for intolerance), more sympathetic, and less selfish than red people.

Even given everything else isn't it backwards correlation thinking people who voted blue are those things.

Also isn't that post kind of bigoted. Maybe it was the ironic kind.

I think it's unlikely anything substantial has changed about the people in Georgia in the last few months or even four years. Maybe you were referring to the politicians themselves,though that's easier to look at specifically and not generalize.

I assume you understand correlation and causation and how sometimes they get confused.

Obviously it's ridiculous, and yet you're the one who argued to just put the n word in place of ******* to see if it's wrong.

i was gonna say "the right is showing the left how to protest" but then i thought the left would probably do this and even more if the cops were as easy on the left as they are being on these protestors today.

Hard to blame the cops too much. You've tasked white supremacists with protecting a group of mostly white supremacists from white supremacists. It probably was confusing for them.

It is hard for something to be both unbelievable and unsurprising at the same time, but there you go...

seems surreal

Maybe this is all the storming of the bastille really was and clever story telling.
