If anything, I find the title gentle and borderline PC, given both the target and the action in proces.

Damn this place is toxic for anyone not 100% participating in a hivemind
So is Minneapolis...doesn't mean conservatives don't also live there and in surrounding areas...
The way I see it, is when you have really bombastic titles like that it's usually for things that are almost sure to universally (within the scope of this board) elicit the same response. I don't really see anyone taking the side of the people in the cars, because their actions are really indefensible. You're right in the sense there's no discussion to be had for the reasons I mentioned, but sometimes people just need a vent thread to call out dumb/stupid people and their behavior. Anything that could have been discussed in this thread has already been discussed in numerous other ones about the quarantine/social distancing mesasuresSure, ok, I think it's like other threads that editorialize - i.e. "President Shitbag" to a degree where it's just shitting on people. Like, there's no discussion to be had about it, or to discuss what's happening. It's just "fuck these people". Which, like, fuck these people. But it just frames it in such a way that shuts it down.
They're trump cultists and they're acting like dumbfucks.
You make having critical thinking skills, morality, and empathy for others sound negative. Do you lack these? Join us in the hive mind and be a better person.
Also, it's a title of a thread on a message board that will more than likely disappear in 2 hours never to be seen again. There are legitimate issues to be angry about this place and things in general. This ain't one

I think it's worth discussing how we dehumanize people on this site, and that people who don't want to participate in that aren't agreeing with them.

Dude this sucks. Just because I don't want to shit on people doesn't mean I'm a bad person who lacks empathy.
My man...what discussion was shut down in this thread? Did you expect "Both sides" type of back and forth? lol
Speaking of shutting threads down...seems like 3/4th of the discussion here is now about your thread title whining.
Dude this sucks. Just because I don't want to shit on people doesn't mean I'm a bad person who lacks empathy.
You don't have to personally shit on them. But, that doesn't mean they don't deserve to be shat on, and you also don't need to defend them from that.Dude this sucks. Just because I don't want to shit on people doesn't mean I'm a bad person who lacks empathy.
The irony of running respectability politics for people who thrive on a platform of dehumanization and hate.I think it's worth discussing how we dehumanize people on this site, and that people who don't want to participate in that aren't agreeing with them.
"How do you dehumanize my confederate flag-waving buddies who drive around in a pandemic and yell at nurses! It's just a perspective!"I think it's worth discussing how we dehumanize people on this site, and that people who don't want to participate in that aren't agreeing with them.
Lay it out for me, broI think it's worth discussing how we dehumanize people on this site, and that people who don't want to participate in that aren't agreeing with them.

So we're gonna have to stay in isolation in waves for a long time because people are dumb as fuck, huh?
OK. What discussion do you expect? "Hmm, you're endangering the lives of many and your political beliefs are actively harming tons of people, you blatantly ignore facts, but gosh darn it I want to hear what you have to say!"Sure, ok, I think it's like other threads that editorialize - i.e. "President Shitbag" to a degree where it's just shitting on people.

Let's make this clear.Dude this sucks. Just because I don't want to shit on people doesn't mean I'm a bad person who lacks empathy.

i don't like those titles either because they seem low-tier juvenile, like we're sinking to Trump's childish level of idiocy.Secondly, I am not a huge fan of the "shitbag "fuckface" "el Cheeto vonDingleBerry" thread titles myself. I can see the argument being made about why people do it; I feel your frustration and my post history will let you know I'm not some closet Trumper, I just think we can do better.
Couple of things from the OP and working my way down.
I love those nurses. Excellent counter protest. I clicked on the twitter thread and it did not take long before "crisis actors in fake 3M mask" came up. These people can only follow a couple of lines of thought; you know their argument before you even can make your own point.

that said, we aren't a news site, we are a video game forum. If it's allowed then it's allowed.
I can't believe how fucked this country is. That we have politicized a plague... That there is a for or against stance that must be taken for something killing tens of thousands of people around the world...
At least I am still blown away by it all. I figure that must mean something that at least my mind hasn't just totally accepted how fucked it all is. There must still be a glimmer of hope alive in there somewhere.
