you constantly take the most extreme version of liberals that you see on the internet and act like they represent the democrats and then handwave the actual elected right wing nationalists as not representing the republicans

huh, i wonder what thats about


by Doorbread m

For someone who is admittedly not a Nazi and likes doing those things within a non-nazi context, you should also want to call out this behavior

weird, it's almost as if i did that very thing...

yes that image is not a good look, especially in the context of it being a crew with andrew tate there

I think you constantly take the most extreme version of liberals that you see on the internet and act like they represent the democrats and then handwave the actual elected right wing nationalists as not representing the republicans and I’m flabbergasted by the gymnastics it takes to consistently think that way as everyone calls you out for it repeatedly

i’m interacting with what’s actually here. you framed this like some earth-shattering moment, but it was just a bunch of guys dancing

collapsing everything into moral signaling and guilt by vibe is how political discourse becomes unserious. focusing on aesthetic outrage instead of actual words or actions turns every deviation from ideological purity into proof of moral failure, which is exactly the mindset that pushes people toward extremes instead of nuanced understanding

i take contrarian positions because i’m responding to the content my peers produce. in real life, i deal with reasonable people β€” liberals, conservatives, centrists β€” who see me for what i am: a liberal who supports universal healthcare and social reform, not someone who needs a lecture on how evil being a white male supposedly makes me. seeing outrage prioritized over substance is exactly how the left loses credibility and alienates the people it claims to want to persuade

you can’t seriously think that people who have unironically praised hitler and denied the holocaust get to sing the heil hitler song. Fuentes said Hitler was cool on the Pierce Morgan show like a month ago. You’re living under a rock and then expecting everyone else to operate as if they were under your rock as well.

no that's not it at all

talk about them praising hitler and denying the holocaust - there's been zero of that in this thread - just a tweet of them dancing and vague accusations

i'm not denying any of them nor defending them either, i'm saying that if you want to be taken seriously then talk about what they say and not what they dance to

I didn't frame it as anything, I posted the video without comment.

this is doing a lot of heavy lifting - leaving it without comment implies the commentary of the tweet itself

For someone who speaks in the way that you do I would actually not call this calling something out as bad behavior

what if it was a person in a nazi uniform singing the heil hitler song, would you still be confused as to why people would be upset about that?


It rates closer to a 1 than a 10 as far as soft verbiage goes for you


Recap for those who don't want to follow along:

I post video of noted right wing political personalities singing to Kanye song "Heil Hitler"
Rick calls me out of touch for posting the video
Rick admits he doesn't actually know who anyone in the video is
Rick calls leftists lazy
Rick says everyone arguing with him is unserious

cmon man, you have to realize you screwed the pooch here


by rickroll m

100% serious man. As someone as sensitive as you are your quote is not a qualifier for calling something out


I think rick just enjoys being contrarian and it’s not really much deeper than that. We’ve all known someone who feels the need to take the opposite side of an argument, especially if the former side appears to have more support.

Yeah, I think all the people involved in the internet conservative ecosystem are aggressively ******ed. I agree with that tweet

you're right, i should have said anyone who would willingly go to a club with andrew tate has the common sense and decency of doorbread - which makes this easy to call it out as bad behavior, because people that low shouldn’t get any nuance

i’m not confused, i understand clearly that i'm watching grown adults treat a tiktok dance like it’s the end of democracy

first they came for kanye’s music
and i did not speak because some keyboard warrior might lose their mind


by coordi m

someone finally gets it why i wouldn't give af about visiting a thread about those boys


by coordi m

I agree with that tweet

so what was all this about???

sheesh...


by Rococo m

I am not talking about everything in general. I'm not sure why you think I am focusing on a red herring. You were the one who said that people were reading too much into the video. Or at least that's what I thought you were saying when you made the comment about hipsters and the Jewish guys in the bowling alley.

funnily enough the notion of a jewish bowling team got zero pushback but jews dancing to kanye did πŸ˜€

yes it amazes me that i explicitly say this repeatedly that i'm just reacting to the nonsense the thread is giving me and if they gave right wing nonsense it'd get the same treatment - but every time one of them posts something by the time i see it a dozen people have responded already so it's beating a dead horse and no need to just continue dumping on them

but the tiniest of pushback on anything far left and i get labeled a monster

thank you jish πŸ˜€


dickroll with the walls of text to try to hide being caught lying?

and you would still hold this attitude if it was nazis wearing nazi uniforms? it’s not a hard question to answer

lol wtf did I just read

I mean look at this. You can start to understand why I said what I said. You're an absolute drama queen that will take everything to 11 so when you say something so softly it speaks loudly to your perception of it


How many multi-page tirades has rickroll had with Luciom out of curiosity? immovable object m unstoppable force
