Silencing opposition is alive and well

[trixare4kids]

You quoted John Wayne’s quote thinking you were making a point. Just like the other post, you find something that you think bolsters your political ideology and then you run with it. Then it bites your position in the fourth point of contact. How many times do your posts need to be refuted.

Your above is just moving the goalposts. Look into John Wayne, your kind of guy, for sure…..

Your point, bolded, pretty much proves the O/P's point for his posting of the meme. Look at you attempting to make it personal by shouting down the thread premise.

If you promote CRT, you should know a bit about the Marxism that synthesized it.

Good thing I'm a Marxist then

 

[American]

That kinda makes the OP a call to violence.

That's a serious charge. Please prove it.

"The Marxism that synthesized CRT."

lol

People think Fox and books by O'Reily (and hate websites) constitute an education.

 

[Court Jester]

John Wayne?

“I believe in white supremacy!”

Not surprising!

Your posting suggests someone in need of public humiliation, here you go!

Holy shit, this again?

John Wayne was born in 1907. He would basically say embarrassing shit your great-grandfather might have said. So, when you would ask for your great-grandfather's opinion on shit, who didn't expect some real zingers would follow?

People act like Wayne was a contemporary of Steve Jobs. When Wayne was a young man the President of the United States, a DEMOCRAT named Woodrow Wilson, basically said pretty much the same shit about minorities in that Playboy interview done in the '70s. Actually President Wilson said way worse things--- look it up.

1907 he was born

That's a serious charge. Please prove it.

I am claiming your final sentence kinda makes your OP a call to violence. We see that illustrated in a later post by another member promising "civil war". That's when the thread became a Klan meeting.

 

[reflechissez]

This thread is going well.

 

[trixare4kids]

It has everything to do with the OP. If you are going to quote someone, you should know a little more about their views. I’m surprised you decided to white knight this shit thread!

A lot of people from way back, fifty years ago, made inappropriate racial remarks. It was generational.

That said, it doesn't change the context of the O/P. You are attempting to shout down American's original post only because of who made the remarks on the meme. John Wayne wasn't wrong, and IMO, you prove it.

I didn’t bring him up to try to stir the pot.

Might want to post this to the OP.

Nonsense, and what's more, you know it.

The O/P never said anything about using violence.

 

[AGENT J]

Hey look another triggered meltdown post claiming victimhood, false narratives, and a fake boogie man!!!

RuuuuuuUUUUUuuuuuuUUUUuuun!

so sad and hilarious at the same time.
Thank good too many people are honest, educated and objective enough to not fall for this and just mock it for the nonsense it is LMAO

In for a penny, in for a pound. The OP’s choice of sources and memes is telling and demonstrates a singular train of thought. I’m not shouting anything down. I wouldn’t be here if the OP had just posted the words. Now another poster is taking to task the fact that Wayne was born early last century, I didn’t decide to exhume him…..

"The libs won't let me post on social media!" he posted on social media. Then he sipped his coffee and spent the rest of the day doing Google searches and cataloging the order of results for his next thread.

 

[notquiteright]

Let's start with CNN, BLM, Antifa, and Pelosi.

Let's deflect from the 1/6, how predictable...

Everyone/ every organization rolled together doesn't come close to 1/6. I know some on the Rabid Right want to deny 1/6 was anything more than eager tour group but the real attempt to silence a legal vote and block the peaceful transfer of power makes all you hold up just whiny rabid Right froth...

Now let's look at the threats Greene and McCarthy are throwing at the telecom industry if they give Congress the material they subpoenas...

Talk about using political clout to attempt to force silence...

 

[TurtleDude]

Now it’s a Klan meeting……….

do you think you are actually making valid points accusing those who you don't agree with, with being Klan members?

 

[trixare4kids]

Prove the O/Poster brought John Wayne up to stir the pot? I do not see it that way.

It really doesn't matter if John Wayne was the author of the quote.

It matters if the quote has merit and IMO, is sure as hell has been proven to be true.... Look to social media, high tech for a couple of examples of "They shout you down and won't let you speak if you disagree with them".

One thing it does do is prove the O/P's thread premise....

one of the reasons why the left tries to silence the opposition is that the left's "ideas" (or perhaps the term FEELINGS is more accurate) usually fail in the free marketplace of ideas. Sunshine is toxic to many leftist opinions and they want to drown out contrary views

Oh, grow up.

For the past four years I’ve been called, on this forum either directly or lumped in as a whole, a pedophile, child killer, commie, socialist, that I hate America, etc.

And when I and others defend ourselves suddenly you all act like you are victims and become litttle snowflakes and post quotes about your victimhood.

Side note: John Wayne was a pu$$y. He went out of his way to not serve in the military and it’s widely known that his tough guy act was just that; an act.

Want a real tough guy? Try James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek). THAT guy stormed the beaches on D-Day and got shot 6 times.

Are you REALLY surprised?

When it went from insurrection to civil war, there was a turning point in the thread from which it could not return.

wasn’t tying to make a point. Pointing out those that respond to the clarion call….

 

[weaver2]

He knew Silicon Valley before it even existed. Point is, nothing has changed except now those that can silence others have more power and scale than ever including an entire political party. I haven't seen Democrats fight against entities that attempt to silence opposition.

Why don't you give some documented examples of the Democrats shouting down Republicans? If you can't do that your statements about being suppressed are just wild accusation based on nothing but propaganda you've heard on nut-job media sites designed to keep you agitated against "so called liberals"

That's because today's "liberals" are just as illiberal as high tech. They are right on board with Silicon valley censoring speech.
