SpiritUnion said:You're trying to turn "mob" into some sort of slur when it's just an appropriate noun.
You evil motherfucker. You're the one who keeps supplying negative connotations by saying you don't want this mob to exist and implying that they will necessarily become violent.

"Evil?" Jesus.
Like... Seriously. Back up a second and think about what you're saying.
right? Trump orders kids to be separated from their parents and put in cages. no reaction.Exactly. That's why it's so funny. If you see somebody at a diner get yelled at and decide you no longer want to be a Democrat, you never were. Not when Trump is President and doing something dastardly daily while Republicans enable and cover for him on the world stage. It's a joke.
Now if your take a way is "well I don't approve, but, I can't seem to care when kids are in cages" then ok, we can talk.

I mean I get it. Political tensions in the US are at an all time high. All this shit makes my blood boil too. I'm just uncomfortable with it.Well, forgive me if the current political climate of mail bombs and mass shootings by incels and white nationalists has left me a little insensitive toward some guy on Fox News who feeds Nazi talking points directly into the president's head whenever he watches his show.
Tucker Carlson is a fascist. There's no two ways about it. He is bad for the country and gives a platform to very hateful views.I mean I get it. Political tensions in the US are at an all time high. All this shit makes my blood boil too. I'm just uncomfortable with it.
People here don't care. They want blood. This thread will go the way it always will. People will say why they understand why people are pissed but violence/stalking people's homes aren't the answer. People will then accuse those people while doubling down on their "wouldn't mind if he got killed" or other outlandish statements. (Maybe not said in this thread yet but give it time)I agree wholeheartedly. I mean, it's okay to be angry about what some of these idiots like Carlson say and do, but threats of violence or harassing him at his home is not the way to go about things. If we go down that path, it will just escalate until it gets out of control. Lines will get blurred and it only make it more difficult to get people to see the truth.
The fact of the matter is everyone has someone to answer to. Contact his sponsors. Contact Twitter. Help educate on issues that will lead people away from him. Take away his god damn voice. There's so many things that can be done to take down these nazi assholes without stooping to their levels.
what do you know you're an alt-account i'm fucking shocked"Evil?" Jesus.

I don't disagree I just don't think that gives us carte blanche.Tucker Carlson is a fascist. There's no two ways about it. He is bad for the country and gives a platform to very hateful views.
And I really felt bad because I was "putting a looooooot of words in their mouth". Guess I can feel better now.

Can't argue with a dictionary. Time to pack it up.
Deplatforming.Seems like a pointless act, what do people hope to achieve with this?
What about the Counting Crows?
Yeah, damn this bloodthirsty gaming forum lol
*sheHe's saying you are an evil person intentionally using charged language. And I second that. The motion carries.
In public, at a restaurant or the movies? Absolutely not. You see him out, you give him a piece of your mind. But his house? Do you know his home address? I sure don't. That isn't publicly available information. Do we wanna give some nutjob a quid pro quo reason to show up at say, Rachel Maddow's home to "protest"? No, we don't. Or at least we shouldn't.

We live in a deeply uncomfortable time. I fall on the fairly extreme end of how I think people should respond to it, i.e. taking pretty serious steps to prepare for growing violence from the fascists.I mean I get it.

Oh well. If his house burns down I'm sure he can afford another
Some people don't like literal White Supremacy rhetoric being broadcasted to millions and it's making them angry, apparently, maybe a bit past rational calm.God, this thread is fucking awful.
What is wrong with you people.

I think you're treating these people unfairly. Theres some really fine people on both sides.God, this thread is fucking awful.

It's the odds on favorite. The country is too divided and one side incites violence, which will probably result in a response of violenceTo be fair, it looks like America may be headed in this direction anyway. Maybe it's overdue. I'm not going to say that America is heading for another civil war, the technology probably no longer makes this feasible. But you may very well be headed for a period of more active civil unrest, with disorganized right wing militia getting "justice" wherever they see fit, emboldened by Trump, while people who no longer believe in "When they go low, we go high," feel like their backs are to the wall and fight back, and the government tries to just maintain social order in the midst of a mess that the President himself encouraged.

I hope he steps on legos.Alright where's the cutoff point for the acceptable amount of misfortune to wish upon a bad person? Can I say it would be cool if he got a flat tire and nobody was willing to tow his car or give him a ride?
Isn't the group term for crows a... murder? (thinkingemoji)
The internet is just one person constantly contradicting themself. Also, "Do something," and "don't harass people at their homes" aren't mutually exclusive.whats with the people going from "hey america, why aren't you DOING anything about the situation? dont you know how to protest??!?" to "WOAH THERE america, this is TOO FAR!!"
I am comfortable with this.
