not a "plant" and i'm not "incoherently" going on about anything so nice try. You didn't see the PM that Asshole sent me where he spewed the tiresome 'bothsideism" nonsense(which is some ways is just as bad as alt-right nonsense). I'll quote it here:
First off there's the lie about Drumpf donating to the "Far left" and notice how he's all fine with Zaslav erasing a movie he personally thinks looks bad and does not care about what he's doing until Zaslav starts going after stuff he likes. That sure is sending a lot of red flags to me and the guy outright calls himself a Black Alt-Rightist so i'm not even insulting him when I call him that, i'm merely quoting what he himself said he was.
OK, a list of things to address here:
1. Yes, he is going down a terrible, misguided path if he considers himself an "Alt-Rightist".
2. You are correct about Orange never donating to far Left-leaning groups. (At least nothing worth mentioning. He may have made MINOR contributions decades ago. This is the kind of thing that D. T. would occasionally bring up as a feeble attempt to make himself more "appealing" to Moderates. Obvious B. S.)
3. You are NOT correct about GamerA$$Hole being fine with Zaslav erasing things that Gamer doesn't like. GamerA$$Hole clearly states that he doesn't like ANY media being permanently erased like this. He wants the media preserved, even if it's not his personal "taste".
4. Despite his misguided politics, GamerA$$Hole offers a TRUCE and agrees not to bring up his politics again. You should have been the bigger person and just accepted the darn truce.
5. Part of being a Liberal is recognizing that people can CHANGE. And we should try and bring about this change for the better in people by using FACTS and COMPASSION, rather than via nothing but name-calling and vitriol. Had Gamer actually been preaching Alt-Right propaganda on this thread, I would have been fine with you insulting him. But he didn't, and you did so unprompted. Not cool.
6. It is NOT COOL for you to use slurs, even against people that you don't like.
7. The "padded cell" comment that you made was indeed 100% ableist. Not a very Liberal thing to do.
8. From my time on this forum, I have learned that GamerA$$Hole actually used to be a Liberal himself. I don't know what lies he was fed, but the TRUTH can bring him back.
Also, we all have Gamer to thank for finding the "Chuckles the Clown" premium phone commercial on an old VHS tape. So there's that.
No that "padded cell" comment was not in fact ableist, ableist is saying stuff like "retarded" or "sperg" and whatnot, not calling someone insane. Being liberal does not mean one always has to be nice or a doormat. I've got autism so I know what's ableist and what isn't.
So he got brainwashed eh? That's unfortunate but I had a feeling, that's why I ended my PM by saying that I hoped he'd realize how misguided he was.
I was NOT in fact using slurs at all, never used the N-word once or any anti-gay slur.
Part of being a liberal is also recognizing those who are incapable of change and not wasting your time with them. I'd like to believe the guy can change but i'm not holding my breath
The dude offered a truce AFTER he spewed his alt-right trash so he was hoping i'd be nice and play along so he could essentially spew his garbage rhetoric unchallenged which seemed highly suspicious to me. I felt like I was being led into a trap so I opted not to get suckered in.
This "bigger person" thing is kind of a myth and does not usually work most of the time. Maybe if we hadn't had 4 years of agent orange and Jan 6th hadn't happened and Kiwi Farms hadn't been allowed to roam free for a decade and Gamergate had never beena thing I would've been willing to accept, but i've seen far too many example of alt-right trolls doing real damage so forgive me if i'm not willing to turn the other cheek and let those assholes walk all over me, so I don't buy into that "bigger person" thing because i've personally never once seen it actually work.
I'm tired of this notion that liberals are never ever allowed to be pissed off, people only focus on the so-called "vitriol" and "name-calling" and ignore what's actually being said. The dude was preaching the stuff and no I did not in fact do so unprompted, that is flat-out untrue.
I don't care about commercials much myself so that contribution does not really mean much to me, even if he did contribute something that actually interested me that still wouldn't make him spewing nonsense magically OK.
