Also, I've been really interested to hear about Asian wives, but nobody around here ever talks about their Asian wives. Does anyone here have an Asian wife?


Snotty and unnecessary. If people are going to lump me in with actual racists, and I bring up real life reasons why I'm not (I'm getting really tired of having to prove I'm not racist) you should be content with my answer rather than mocking it. I mean, if there's absolutely no way to avoid shitty back talk, why should I even try?

My, oh my. So many assumptions being made about my character. It figures that you display similar attitudes towards anyone who speaks up for people who aren't white heterosexual males.

Also, have you considered that this "widening of the chasm between the left and right" is something people like you are largely responsible for?

I made no assumptions. You've publicly called me out, making threads personal and off topic twice now. Evidence-based conclusion.

And I really, really resent you saying the white heterosexual male thing. That's a strawman, and not every Republican is a "social conservative." This guy included. I live in ultra liberal Seattle and my wife is Asian so that'd be pretty silly, huh? I don't have a problem with people sticking up for someone who is being attacked. But it is being done proactively (pre-crime), with a broad brush (all x are y), and it pisses people off when you stereotype them based on their skin color, sex, and orientation.

I do that with ideology, yes. But not identity. Not things you cannot change.

oh, so it is what I said.

Well, I can assure you that millions of people did not rush to the polls to vote trump due to leftists calling people idiots. slep tite


Not an argument

Whether or not you think it affected the election, just stop. Stop it anyway. Not everyone you don't like is Hitler.

oh. this is a very bizarre tangent then.

No it's not. Some people on the left have tried to learn from this loss. Others, well, are doubling down on "everyone is racist and sexist, etc". The things people are sick of hearing. You don't change minds by shaming. All you do is move political opponents underground and silence them. This is a bipartisan issue, because the chasm between left and right continues to widen as neither side has a modicum of interest in even hearing the other. I'm telling you what the left can stop doing to mend that rift, and that's quit with the bigot labels every 2 nanoseconds. Especially for guys like me who would be considered right wing, but would also be called a "race traitor" or a "cuck" or a "degenerate" by the alt-right.

is the main thrust of your point that people that voted for donald trump did so because they were mad at people on the internet?

No.

Harmonic, can you do this poisoned community a favor and just leave? Thanks.

You said it was poisoned, not me. You want me to leave because you disagree with my politics? (which you likely don't even know) Come on, you said your small call-out, let's hear how you really feel. Do the big public call-out you so badly want to say. Make it really, REALLY personal and off topic.

Actually, how about you just block me? Or take your call-outs to PMs if you feel so strongly about it.

I'll leave it to you to determine what somebody like harmonic uses it for given the context.


"Somebody like harmonic"

You say my name with such hate in your tone. Like I'm a bad person for not being to the left of Karl Marx.

I mean I'm reaching out and hoping the country comes together and I guess the left is going to just double down on shit like this:



And this:

President Trump

This is the first place on the Internet I've seen that has people so bamboozled at the idea that virtue signaling is a thing. I guess SNL gets it right sometimes:

You're right that it's nowhere near as big a problem as Harmonic is trying to make out. It's not even close. I'd say that they're not even in the same league, but they're not even playing the same sport.


Maybe not to you. Because your values don't conflict with (((those))) peoples'.

And the "problem" isn't just the purple-haired 300,000 genders types. It's every day leftists who pile on to the virtue signaling train. No one really listens to tiny fringe crazies, it's their masses of normies who subscribe to a lite version of the crazies' attitudes that really cause problems.

I really wish lefties would stop denying this reality for everyone's benefit.

feelings he's engendered in the American people.


Those feelings were always there, guy. They've just been kept underground because of the social climate in the last few years. The climate where everyone is tripping over themselves to prove they're not a bigot, all the while saying very bigoted hypocritical things, and maintaining different standards for people based on their skin color, sex, etc. That's why I kept saying it's a bad idea to be those 3 letters that I'm not allowed to say only at RMN, because it just enflames a reaction that, now, is emboldened by the win of Trump.

This is not something I want. I hate white supremacists and extreme alt-righters just as much as anyone here. That's why I really REALLY wish leftists would stop shaming, shaming, shaming, every day, day in and day out, in all possible forms, because it creates a pendulum swing that you're seeing now. Don't fire the arrow you don't intend to be fired back at you.

This is very helpful advice for the left. If you argue that being Islamophobic creates terrorists, then you have to be ideologically consistent and argue that being extreme leftist creates extreme rightists. ...Unless you go back to having different standards for different people, amirite?

Here's a helpful illustration for what I mean:

President Trump

Welp, if Trump doubles his personal wealth through corruption and the KKK starts roaming the streets nation wide looking for undesirables to purge, there'll be egg on my face.
