Confrontational Politics - The New Normal for the Extremes?

Well perhaps I did employ a fallacy, but I did so in order to illustrate your ridiculous assertions

Trump was a shit pres, and behaved atrociously

If you would rather see him in charge of USA instead of Biden, who doesn’t have any mental impairment, and whose other failings pale against Donald’s, you are either playing devil’s advocate, stupid, or a hypocrite

Biden has had two intracerebral bleeds and a also a 1988 surgery for brain aneurysms.
Those type of insults usually come with immediate deficits, but also often come with deficits that present later, with aging, in pronounced ways.
And, he is presenting with the common signs and symptoms of those deficits.
One would expect someone his age, after those prior brain injuries and insults, to present with cognitive deficit, not the reverse.
Couple with that, his presenting with signs associated with those deficits, and that is a reasonable concern, and conclusion.
One should not gaslight others, for pointing out the obvious, regarding that issue.
On the contrary, signs of continued progression, should be carefully watched for.

Maybe

Trump definitely likes Putin better than USA

But I have started a new thread to continue this discussion

I would have arrested Fauci for the mask incident, kept everything open while increasing PPE production including gas masks, body armor and rad suites, and nuked China.

Apart from the arrests and nuclear armageddon, Sweden tried that approach

Sweden 1448 deaths/Mil

USA 2238 deaths/Mil

The nuclear war would possibly have squewed the results

Number of people killed in the Northern Ireland Troubles, over 3,600.

Did you look that up on Google?

Numbered of people killed in The American War in Vietnam

1,353,000

Any more spurious comparisons you want to make?

You were playing the spurious comparisons game, and inviting others to play, thereby.
I was just being polite, and reciprocating.

We know Northern Ireland did not participate in the Vietnam War.
They aren’t allowed to have guns, unless her Majesty says they can,
And she feels like using them for cannon fodder,
before risking what she considers real English blood, or her dogs, or her other property.

Jeebus fuk you two, can you take this to another thread? You’ve crapped this one up enough already.

So, as an example of the type of yahoo running for school board these days. This one is from the county south of mine.

The Idaho Freedom Foundation is opposed to public education…

And are a major player in Idaho. Supposedly “libertarian”…

Apologies, oh Ginger One.
I was just trying to be Confrontational about Doofa’s politics.
Doofa, did you know, that if @BKR, or any other leprechaun, show up for dinner, that by Irish law, you have to invite him in, and feed him.

Meet you at LPTP

If you have the stones

My country had a go at confrontational politics with a religious marx vs jesus scenario, back in the 1930’s.

You The People start to sound a bit like fed up of each other to the point of fantasizing about violent confrontation. Not in the forum, but definetly the ongoing rumour is that.

Circumstances are obviously very different, there are racial trouble and firearms distribution, economy’s size and financial ties to the world… but I insist that the perceived tone of aggressive speech is worrying.

I feel that this documentary could help to warn of any inflammatory speech during a rough economic crisis.

At the beginning, survivors of our late Civil War, all shades of left and right represented, important people included, explain their feelings of back in the days before the conflict became war, and during the war.

It’s bearable with automatic subtitles. It’s long enough to picture the whole of the bloodbath.

If any of you takes a peek, pay attention to Santiago Carrillo’s and Serrano Suñer’s testimonials. Pure Confrontational Politics hangover.

After the cainite slaughter we had and the way politics polarization is reactivating these old hates, it is scary to see the First Nation of the World fall into this kind of unreasonable attitude.

There are more moderate people around here, still conservative, that are fighting back. But the confrontational model (as described in the links in my OP) works against that.

The volume of shit these people spray out is huge. The firehose technique is pretty effective.

Wouldn’t that be a manure spreader?

Perhaps a slurry of manure and water. Manure tea, perhaps?
