Alright, that was kind of funny. The other two were pretty badly thought-out though, good examples of why I think most righty as well as lefty rhetoric is pretty dumb these days
I'm shocked you can hear the rhetoric of the right over all the shrieks of people on the left...
This is from a few years ago:

I don't think most people want guns "banned", just that there are more laws implemented to stop them from from getting into the wrong hands. There are human rights laws about religious freedom (something I'm sure you agree with), so discriminating against Muslims and saying they can't own guns is different to young people and those with socially dangerous mental health issues. (That was kind of a rebuttal to this image and the second one.)

Memes are not arguments lol.
Originally posted by SurturThe good thing about the internet is that there are no issues with volume, as both wild uproar and heartless snickering can be seen with equal ease. If we're talking stereotypes, leftists are screeching loonies and rightists are emotionless, conscienceless automatons. Both can get ta **** mert, imo.

So the right wins then. Constantly hearing about automatons taking over. Boom, nailed it. Whiny liberals need to stop crying and being emotional.
Robots give two shits about feelings, never forget that.

polotical cartoons and memes are clearly putting forth a line of argument. but if you need to chicken out and not defend the arguments you're posting, thats fine. the otf is more relaxed.
Nah, people can use them just if they think it's funny. Did you want to try again? I'll let it, I enjoy seeing you whine.
Originally posted by SurturLeftists need to be less driven by emotion, the right needs to get more in touch with theirs. I'm not a centrist, I'm just calling it as I see it

Those memes do present political ideals, though, whilst not inherently being arguments. There are subtexts and signifiers in any text; nothing is simply the sum of its parts.
Neat, but they aren't arguments. I enjoy how the memes trigger people like Bash and you(to a lesser extent).
I know whenever I post one, one of you will come running. Usually Bash. And he'll act all enraged or passive aggressive over the memes. Love it. He does it literally every time, you notice that? Surtur noticed that.
I consider emotion to be a defining part of the human experience and as such should be embraced, but not at the expense of rationality. Likewise, rationality is key to forming a society that works structurally, but it shouldn't come at the cost of remaining in touch with yourself, and, as such, humanity and the human condition at large.

How dare you call out both sides. Go give yourself 30 lashings right now. Then I order you to drip lemon juice over the wounds.
