Thanks. Instead of just facts and good sources, can you find some juicy gossip and shit too? I miss @sodapopinski. :(

they took my thread talking about why these shootings happen, with 100+ posts mind you, and dumped it. We walk a fine line in this forum when mods who disagree with things they see on here can just trash threads because they are offended

Confusing why that was dumped. There is an identical thread in the Mayberry right now with less interesting discussion.

I know right? Really bizzare. I can't really imagine a more prevalent War Room topic right now to be quite honest. It seems like a snowflaking Mod is really abusing his power here. Someone who can't handle conflicting opinions
 
Ok, I think until my dubbs are up, I'm going to enact Marianne Williamson's philosophy on life...

I'm gonna be courteous and spread love to everyone...including my least favorite posters

You seem very preoccupied with race

Not particularly preoccupied though as a highly intellectually fecund 1st generation United States citizen the divide is obvious and I find the history and the numbers fascinating. Either way what's it to you?

Yes I do see your point but there is a subset of leftists that are aware of that and like to play the same game, being dismissive and condescending to poor, drug riddled white communities and recycling the argument certain right wingers use when it comes to blacks or Muslims and whatnot. The point is generally to highlight this hypocrisy you're talking about but it tends to only poison the discussion.

I'm going to disagree with you here.

If the right wing said for 30 years "Crime is result of culture. Poverty is a result of culture." And they repeat that message over and over again then it's not dismissive or condescending to hold them to their language when the other shoe drops. Because highlighting the hypocrisy isn't what's poisoning the discussion.

What's poisoning the discussion is when they say "That is a problem of culture," and then the very next day they say "It's still a problem of culture...except for that guy over there. For him - it's mental health."

See, the issue I'm referring to is trying to hold both positions as true at the same time - not a problem of changing positions over time. Leftists didn't invent the culture argument. They've been arguing against it for decades. Now, you're seeing some of these right wing extremists saying it's still culture but creating artificial carve outs. You simply cannot blame that on the left wing for pointing it out.

Why? Because if the rational actor simply says "Yeah, you're right - it's mental health for that white nationalist and mental health for that rural community", the right wing extreme is still going to use "culture" for everyone else. It is not the fault of consistent people that inconsistent people keep pushing their bullshit.

And blaming that on the left essentially blames the left for not accepting the right wing extreme's duality of position.
 
Uh-oh. Watching the press conference, it looked like an AR and a couple 100 round drum mags. More fuel for that fire.

I hope you're not the Mod who reply banned me from the other shooting thread for discussing comparisons on Irish versus Mexican immigration- seeing as it was directly related to the thread seeing as the shooter wanted to kill Mexican immigrants.

Because here you are talking about Islamic terrorism but that's ok.

I haven't reply banned anyone in a long time. You're going to have to be more specific.

Then it wasn't you. Not sure how to be more specific about a war room mod who anonymously banned me from a thread. Was just yesterday. Also weird how I can be reply banned but no yellow card.

You don’t sound particularly intellectual.

It's not an infraction that gets you points. It's thread by thread and we can set for how long. It's a decent way to rein in some behavior that doesn't warrant carding but shouldn't be allowed to get out of control.

But if it was yesterday, it wasn't me.
