I just picked up the civ5 bundle for 90% off about a month ago. It is a 13 year old game, but it’s still a great game.

And two weeks ago, you would have called the 71 year old man in this story an “average republican”. You would have told his tenants to be patient with him and try to understand his fears, not lump him in with “the outliers”.

And that’s the problem with your viewpoint, everyone on the other side is “average” until they aren’t, and then its too late. Quick making it comfortable for them to be average-ly bigoted and hateful. Quit putting the work on the left, when we aren’t the ones oppressing and killing people. Start blaming the right for what they support and work towards.

And since you clearly have nothing to say that’s worth listening to, I’m just going to go ahead and block you.

Then go talk to them, quit demanding that the left to be more patient and forgiving to people who actually want to kill them.

You may not identify as a centrist, but you’re pushing their views. If your don’t want to be one, it sounds like it’s time for some self reflection.

I don’t see them as “others” because they have different beliefs. I see them as “others” because they have willingly allowed propaganda to radicalized them into believing we don’t deserve the same rights as as them, which gives them an excuse to see us as less than human. When they don’t believe we deserve rights and are less than human, this happens.

Stop putting the blame on the people defending themselves and their rights and place it on the aggressors. But clearly the enlighted centrist knows better…

I love your name

Id rather you just stop talking altogether

Yeah. That’s how that works

Why are you getting so defensive? You need to not make this so personal for yourself

You weren’t being downvoted for having a different opinion. You we’re being downvoted for being an asshole.

And I can admire your desire to want to better them

I have no intention of dignifying highly problematic views with civilized discourse.

I haven’t even been mean to him yet, all I called him was insufferable, which he is.

Are you criticizing your own side now?

It’s called critical thinking, try it sometime!

Making too many is an indication of its absence

I have no thanks for you. But I’m not surprised there are mistakes in your work as well as your logic

So wait til they start killing people openly before we identify their ideology as dangerous?

We’re done here and you’re blocked. Either you have no place in this conversation or you’re being intentionally obtuse.

Being polite is pretty meaningless when you advocate against victims of harassment and sexual assault, wouldnt you agree? So why are we giving him credit in politely looking for allies when his political ideology is based in bigotry?

Also, read his old comments. He “politely” condescends and dismisses anyone who disagrees with his stances. He “politely” tells them to not be emotional and just accept his view of things. Fuck him.

I don’t care if “it’s a good look”, I’m not trying to sugar coat truths for misogynists. What that party believed in the past is irrelevant, what they say and do now matters. It’s not a frustration with their change, its an unwillingness to respect them while they openly court fascism. Which, i think, is pretty damn reasonable.

You want to shame me for being rude to the right? I hope you’re used to be ignored. I’m not going to be a part of sowing division on the left, even when a conservative asks me to “politely”.

No, we mean your worthless-ass party. It was fun to watch a bunch of then surrender in Atlanta again though.

They are absolutely represtative of your party. They were led by your leader, your party wants them pardoned. You probably also believe some combination of them being both patriots AND a false flag.

You’re all idiots, and they represent you well.

Just slightly?

Their core belief is that they are better and should have autonomy over other people, how does that NOT turn violent?
