The Political Thread

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

Trump is "Republican" in party only. People call themselves many things, and people call people many things. Doesn't make it a true statement.

@SleepingSilence

Youre woefully missing the point, I used trump and the 3 other people as an example of changing their minds. Trump changed his label, the other 3 changed their ideals along with their labels. What I'm driving at is that I'm assessing Stillgray as he is in the present.

you defended the idea of Count Dankula being imprisoned

@SleepingSilence

Nope, never did, you're making that up.

"Extremists Terrorists" like Laura Southern out of the U.K. That's a pretty far left idea that even the center left here didn't really support.

@SleepingSilence

Never called her an extremist terrorist, I said she's a hate preacher with close ties to white nationalist groups (generation identity). But seeing as you pulled the Count Dankula thing out of thin air, I'm not going to spend too long trying to explain myself. This is mostly in your head.

And what I was doing was defending the UK ban list. Have a quick look at the list and tell me how many 'conservatives' are on there. And then tell me that it's left wing position.

Keep reminding myself you're not from the states...but if I have to clarify. There's only one party that has been consistently pushing rape culture and untrue propaganda fear mongering about rape. And have made a case to falsely accusing many of being rapists...There is absolutely no comparison. You cannot tell me otherwise without ignoring an endless source the evidence.

@SleepingSilence

You mean like when Alex Jones called Bill Clinton a rapist?

Like I said, a rape accusation in a vaccum doesn't tell you anything about someone's political leanings.

Bill Cosby's accusers were from both sides of the isle. Which is what I brought up in my last post.

Do you think Cosby gets an easy ride because he's black or a hard time because he's a man?

The Right and the Left can't seem to come to a consensus.

The Political Thread

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

But Donald Trump ain't conservative either.

Yes. But context matters...and you know exactly what I'm talking about.

(I also realize since you aren't -in- the United States. So everyone is right wing in that context...so perhaps its pointless to really go further.)

@SleepingSilence

He used to be Democrat and is now a Republican, people change, get it?

I could give you more ideological examples like Maajid Nawaz (Radical Extremist to Liberal Feminist) RageAfterStorm (SJW to Alt Right) or Christian Piccolini (Neo Nazi to MSNBC and SPLC commentator)

And I dont know 'exactly what you are talking about' calling people rapists is something you see on both sides of the political isle, so I'm not seeing much of a point. Ian Miles Cheong is right wing, by american standards. And while Europe is broadly more left economically than the states, saying that 'everyone is right wing to us' in that context is ridiculous and simplistic.

But like you said, you don't follow him or know much about him, so I don't expect you to be particularly accurate on your analysis.

The Political Thread

@SleepingSilence Yes and Donald Trump used to be a democrat. But I'm talking about the here and now. If you don't follow his twitter feed that's fine, but I do. And it's safe to say he's pretty right wing.

Don't take my word for it, just go through some old tweets. He was literally accusing people of being rapists.

@SleepingSilence

Not that it matters but calling someone a rapist doesn't really make you right or left wing.

The Political Thread

How about the several years in a row he was literally a hard progressive/self-described social-justice warrior? I don't think anyone conservative would even think for a second to be the antithesis of actual conservatism. But that's just me.

@SleepingSilence

You mean before he had any internet noteriety? Anyone can create a 'converted' backstory. And I take 'self-described' with a heavy tablespoon of salt. Hes been right wing for as long as it's mattered. Nothing vague about it.

The Political Thread

If I see any evidence that Stillgray/Ian Miles Cheong is 'vaguely right wing' as apposed to regular bog-standard right wing, I'll be sure to edit my post accordingly.

Bill Cosby finally got convicted, another celebrity with an interesting relationship with the left and right. I remember the 'Pro-Cosby' types were made up of both right wingers who felt the allegations were an attack on men as a whole, AND defended by portions of the 'woke left' who felt it was an attack against succesful blacks.

Nothing brings both sides of the isle together like a good conspiracy theory.

The Political Thread

It did not, from the other mod's perspective. I wanted a discussion thread edgy political thread back after I became a mod, but I'd need to monitor it because of all of the previous personal attacks/drama from the last one.

@POOHEAD189

FTFY

The Political Thread

@POOHEAD189 its relevant to the convo, and its not even a meme stillgray is in a long list of right wingers, who was against kanye for being part of the 'liberal elite' and bitching about the comments he made about bush. But suddenly now its great that he 'has his own opinions'. The right's relationship with Kanye has always been odd, and I'm pointing it out,

The Political Thread

So right wingers like Kanye again?

Underrated and Overrated Video Games

It's probably just me but I think Tokyo Mirage Session #FE is a bit underrated the battle style is just a flat out ripoff of the Persona games though the story is pretty clever it's a bit hard to follow

@Winter Star12

Isnt the whole game a little fan servicey?
