Hats as Hate

[Praxas]

False dichotomy with a touch of slander, how erudite.

Not false at all, but keep telling yourself that. Your delusion is your delusion.

 

[Tanngrisnir]

Yes, Orwell's "1984" is here; complete with new-speak, face crimes, thought crimes, etc., along with the various organs of media and social justice to weed such criminals out, publicly humiliate them and then destroy them if they refuse "re-education in right-think."

No, it's not. I suggest you actually read the book before mischaracterizing our current political climate.

Nick Sandmann, a student at Covington Catholic, says he was a silent bystander in viral video. But his MAGA hat spoke for him.



I'd like to point out that this piece, while opinion, isn't on some off the wall blog or some "news" site with a well know and recognized political lean. It's from NBC.

This is what MAIN STREAM MEDIA is putting out to the public -


"Aligning oneself with Trump's movement is an aggressive political statement"

That's where we are today. The author then goes on to describe all kinds of incidents where a Trump supporter "taunted or attacked someone from a marginalized group". He does that while ignoring all the incidents where someone from the "Resistance" has attacked Trump supporters.

To call this kind of article disingenuous would be generous in the extreme. To see it promoted by NBC, one of the traditional bastions of broadcast journalism, really tells us where we are as a country and it tells us a WHOLE lot about where the major players in the media stand, politically. There really isn't much doubt at all any more that most of the broadcast and print media has become the propaganda arm of the political class. They aren't even hiding it any more.

ya haivng a separate opinion sections seems like a bad idea for the news

First, let me thank you graciously...

Really there is no need, educating the ignorant is seen as a duty to those with an education.

...I never claimed the hats were a symbol of a war....

Then I suggest you cleanse your amnesia and re-read your last post.

...that was the idiotic comparison made between red hats and the confederate flag....

Nope, there is a clear connection.

The red MAGA baseball hat has been hijacked by the extreme right. Though it has to be said a significant part of Trump's core bases lies therein.

...the only ones showing racism regarding red hats are those who have trouble with reality. So far it's the extreme partisan left....

The left wing of US politics is showing "racism"

Care to give some examples that your warped mind came up with to figure that out ?

...so if I list .. say .. 20 killers of Democrats politics, you will say anyone wearing den gear is a killer and racist? ....

"20 killers of Democrats politics" I think I'll remain reticent until you're able to articulate yourself better to the English speaking world.

No, it's not slander. Words have meanings.

I've accepting the outcome of the election that there are a lot of dumb Trump supporters out there that are racist and white supremacy enablers and the rest that voted for Trump are now regretting it.

If I were you, I would't be labeling others as dumb.
Attempting to write an intelligible response is not a good look for you.

 

[trixare4kids]

Actually the first step to truly hating others is to be a Trump supporter. The rest of your comment is just garbage and dismissed.

And yet it's you who's intent on writing hateful blatherings about Trump supporters on this thread. How do you reconcile your hypocrisy?

Not hateful, true. I know you don't like the truth, but that's your problem not mine.

You don't act like a person who has accepted the outcome of the election.
Hell, you can't even handle the president's supporters who choose to wear a red hat with a campaign slogan on it.

Wow. Reality really hurts you. I'm goino to save my time for those who actually learned to read when they got so educated.

Your hyper partisan craziness will only serve you well with those already fooled. Good luck with that and all!

Only a hateful person would write hateful nonsense as you have and then deny that they aren't hateful... Originally Posted by Praxas View Post

Wow. Welcome to modern Politics. Generalize one side, and don't actually listen to them, and label them as "hateful" or whatever. It really helps your case.

I have plenty of room to talk so says the moderators of this forum...
Maybe you ought to get your own private forum if you can't handle Trump supporters.

I accept your sword.

Not the falic symbol I was offering, but go ahead with that!

"Progressives must become liberal fascists and enlightened Nazis" said H.G. Wells at Oxford in 1932. He was a Fabian socialist and notable Progressive. So was FDR when he placed Japanese Americans in internment camps. What the leftists have displayed in their behavior, their rhetoric over the last decade whether it be in the media which has become a propaganda machine for the politics of the left to their targeting of our institutions to destroy them are actions of fascism. Would it alarm you to learn Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez views she expresses are in lockstep in what Hitler promised his people? True story. Looks like they took H.G Wells to heart.

So if a person was wearing an ANTIFA hat, you wouldn't associate them with supporting or being with ANTIFA then right?

Should person have his life ruined? Be assaulted?

What ever happened to that sacred right of 'freedom of self-expression'? The one that so many leftists purport to support?

Or does that only applicable when the left agrees with that self-expression?

I'm seeing dangerous ground ahead should the political left assume the role they so strongly desire and demand, as the final arbitrators of what is acceptable.

To those with that desire, I raise a great big double middle finger.

Yes, Orwell's "1984" is here; complete with new-speak, face crimes, thought crimes, etc., along with the various organs of media and social justice to weed such criminals out, publicly humiliate them and then destroy them if they refuse "re-education in right-think."

Indeed. The left has declared the wearing a hat representing political positions they don't agree with is a 'face crime'. What's next? Persecutions of thought crime? And this has all come from the political left, and not from where the left was always accusing it would come from.
Rules for Climate Radicals; “Accuse the Other Side of That Which You Are Guilty”

That such mentality has been elected to public office, that is most certainly a legitimate concern.

If you're going to lie, at least try and make it a fun lie.

Because otherwise you're just telling a boring lie.

Are you denying that Trump has exacerbated divisions on racial and political lines by his statements and actions? It seems to me that that is the crux of Trumps appeal. Do you also deny that "sticking it to the lefties" has become a common retort on this board? You have your own "propaganda arms " in the Whitehouse and Fox News. Do you also blame them for their exacerbation of this division?

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Every person has a choice with regard to how they react to something they don't like to hear. It's a CHOICE to hear racism in Trump's words and it's a FALSE CHOICE to hear such words where they don't exist.

Well if you want to substitute that organ, as described by Woody Allen as his second favorite, then go right ahead.

MAGA = racism. BTW saying "der" makes your comment look like it was written by a 4 year old.

ANTIFA = genocide.

Still offering a symbol, not the actual organ. However, let's leave this one vague before it gets inappropriate. Good night to ya and I hope you enjoy your debates.
