re: Anon Keeps Giving the KKK Free Publicity and Making the KKK Feel Relevant

Posted by SpidermanTUba The kkk was never relevant to most white people like yourself. Nothing to see here! Move along!

No matter how loudly you scream, "Durr KKK is gunna get ya durr," it won't make it any more true.

No matter how much you want it or how hard you try, the KKK will never become relevant again.

Sorry to disappoint you.

I believe that to be true. I've lived in the south ny entire life and have NEVER heard a white person embrace the klan.

I've been trying to work with him to improve his deductive reasoning and debate skills. He just hasn't been able to grasp the concepts very easily.

I won't give up on him though. I have faith.

tuba argues like a conspiracy theorist

he finds one small aspect of a point to try to create a "gotcha" that may not be related to teh point itself, but in his mind, if he can find one small gotcha, then the entire point will be discredited

so like you see the quote leading to this discussion tree. he focussed on the "white" part of the sentence. now syntax originally did not require this to be included in the comment (because of course white supremacists will be white), but it doesn't negate the point itself. tuba's comment tries to "gotcha" the comment by making the inclusion of "white" seem absurd. in his mind, the "gotcha" is used to discredit the point while avoiding discussing the point itself

i'm sure there is a technical term for this

a functionally retarded person couldn't pick that sentence to find a "gotcha" to try and attack the point of the sentence

his though process just has pathologies and he's likely socially rewarded in his peer group for that behavior, giving him positive reinforcement for the behavior. add in confirmation bias to go with this groupthink-reinforcement method, and his entire way of thinking is foreign to somebody not within that group

You poor, poor soul.

There's an intersection near my house where the traffic signs are screwed up in that no one has right-of-way. Visibility is great in all directions. People regularly ignore the stop signs. I haven't seen an accident there in 30 years.

A state trooper starts hanging out behind some bushes and begins writing tickets to errbody. Subsequently I notice several bullet holes in the sign. After somebody takes a shotgun to it, they replace the sign and the troopers keep writing tickets. Next thing I know, somebody runs over it with a coal truck. They replace the post and slap a new sign on it. Keep writing tickets.

And then the unthinkable happened. Somebody took a rattle can and spray painted a swastika on the sign. The local newspaper suggested this was the work of a smoldering hotbed of Nazi skinheads. One well-meaning soul took a can of paint thinner and tried to erase it, but wound up taking all the paint off down to the metal which actually made a bigger swastika.

They replace the sign. The cops quit hanging out there. The "Nazi skinhead" problem goes away. Still haven't seen any accidents.

As CLM would say, there is a want. In liberal groups, any sign of KKK/neo-Nazi activity triggers a collective orgasm.
