The totalitarians(yes they are already here) own and use the media to play both sides against each other when in their world they don't exist. Keeps us busy while they fiddle about. That is what I meant about TV.

SFP is hardly a liberal, though his posting has matured quite a bit in recent years. There was a time that he was just another knee-jerk reactionary. Most of his posts now are thoughtful, well-reasoned and objective.

I'm not sure how you're 100% sure of this, but these are 100% how most (legit) Pentecostal women dress.

I don't have anything against them and their choices, but permitting those people power over me to dictate my life is scary.

Same with anyone who would force me to support Drag Queen Story Hour for children.

I hope you're right. I think you are, but we've traveled a long way down the road.

Hell, we've gotten to the point where folks are so irrational they're willing to risk annihilation of Western civilization over whether the Donets Basin is Ukrainian or Russian.

I actually remember the religious right days, unlike some on here.
Religious right- anti abortion, wanted to put WARNING LABELS on albums with foul language
Modern leftists - want to cancel your social media and freeze your bank accounts for wrong think.


Yep, exactly the same.

That's a Russia problem. If Russia is willing to go there, then they're willing to go there. Either we submit to Russia in all of their moves/choices or we face the same risk.

Dude you think wronspeak is only punished by the Left?

Look at this very thread and the meme that I'm a liberal/progressive because I don't accept every single aspect of neo-Right/Trumpkin orthodoxy. Wrongspeak works both ways, brotha.

Only some one with autism thinks they’ve “worked around it” and are really socially adept. You are greatly misjudging your social acumen as reflected in the amount of your downvotes.

Um, I've met many people IRL off this board over the last 15 years. None would ever accuse me of being autistic IRL.

See?

If the Donets is independent or Russian, the whole world must die.... pardon those of us who'd question that "logic."

We just want to laugh at you. Nobody wants you kicked off TD or your bank accounts frozen.

It doesn't matter what your "If" is, if Russia is willing to go there. That's the problem with this response.

Well TD isn't all of the internet. I have been banned from some right-leaning Reddit forums.

Only a matter of time before that comes into play.

I haven't read any of this long thread so maybe someone can answer a simple question:
If we're not supposed to call ourselves 'conservatives' what name does the author of the article suggest?

I was banned from an alternative history board for insisting that Trump wasn't putting gays or blacks into camps.
So?

In reality, this trait aids objective analysis. Objective analysis is not popular with many here.

Now think, which of these groups are more likely, and have the means, to dictate your life?
