Not when it comes to literally anything left leaning or even worse, leftist media which he finds all of it to be utterly abhorrent and evil and stupid.
To be fair, at a certain point it's not really about politics, it's about racists and sexists, people who regardless of their political ideologies socially want to drag us backwards at the expense of everyone who doesn't share their gender or skin color or sexuality or whatever else they see as different.
it really isn't possible in the US because
Yes, I can interpret context and intention. And it's plainly laid out.
"These People" is Ross Douhat, in response to Douhat disliking both May and Corbyn. If this was an antifa style thing in response to actual violence I'd at least understand the desire to go "ok if they want to use violence we must respond as a necessity" I'd totally understand. But this isn't that.
Yeah this is me basically.
And this. "Violence is wrong, except the banal, every day violence perpetrated by the capitalist order and the global market, that's normal and shouldn't be changed." People have an understandable distaste for personal violence but no comprehension or cognizance of systemic violence.
Oh you're already banned nvm.
Dude holy shit like how do you not draw the byline from "I hate 'em all, I really do, I hate the trad-caths"
Then do it.
Just a day, huh? Look forward to your wonderful contributions on the morrow.
If they were trying to fill the Jon Stewart void, they'd be liberals advocating for unity and civility. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they want to be civil.
If you've ever listened to, IDK, literally anything else the guy has said about this topic then you'd be able to parse pretty clearly what he's talking about and why. You're launching attacks at any leftist media outlet, political personality, and journalist PRECISELY proving the point illustrated here because there is a dedicated contingent on ERA that does precisely that constantly.
I mean at some point we call a horse a horse here.
what do they want then? because as far as I can tell they are perfectly ok with letting the right run us over as many times as they like.
All I see is you coming in here and complaining that a subsection of users don't conform rather than just silently reporting it and moving on with your day.
I hate that I have to play defense for this shit that I don't even like (don't really find them funny) that much simply because there's a subsection that's incapable of dealing with it's very existence.
That people might not trust that the answer to an ideology fueled by a reactionary conservative response to the decline straight while male homogeny is a guy who's got an incredibly sketchy record (at best) on issues regarding a minority group should be understandable, not provoke a response of "All who oppose us should be destroyed."
Then it's a good thing that at no point in that rant does he ever say "I'd send them to the gulags". He uses the Lenin analogy to point that Lenin harbored a deeply rooted anger and hate towards the world that he used the purges to justify. He's not saying "I would murder my opponents" he's saying "Trad-Caths are vile people that do material harm to others in a tangible, verifiable manner, I don't think it makes me a bad person for having a part of me that wants to kill them or thinks they'd deserve to die at worst, but at least to be summarily humiliated". He then talks about how everybody deserves an equal chance.
Peak shitposting really, you have to respect the hustle.
