Correct, you are never supposed to question anything, you are just supposed to go along to get along.
Relax TI, there's no need to put words in my mouth. "Lol" would have sufficed for what was an obvious joke.
But sure, not responding super seriously to bait threads on dead internet forums must make me a sheeple.
I wouldn't even mind debating some of these more controversial or polarizing topics. There are likely fascinating sociological points to unearth. But there has to be a little bit of good faith on both sides, or it's just a pointless exercise. It's not the topic I detest, it's the heavy-handed, agenda-laden approach to debate that permeates not just KMC but these topics as a whole. It serves only to help people reinforce their own beliefs while giving them a faint sense of righteousness. I have no use for either of those things.

Well what is your opinion on the inaction of the police at the rally? And of the mayor essentially blaming Trump for this?
To me the mayor doing that was setting a dangerous precedent. I think if he was going to comment he should of condemned the actions of any violent protesters. It's not like he has to support Trump in order to simply denounce violence at these rallies.

Oh wow new blood! This subforum is TI, xyz, raisen and sulfur having continuous dialogue amongst each other. It's nice to have a fresh face!
Extreme liberalism labels people. it quells open discussion like the trump protestors do. it makes police fear doing their job. it focus on narrow issues affecting the few just to garner votes.
yes, extreme liberalism can represent the fall of democracy by silencing opposition. that is what it does. a little liberalism, and extreme conservatism is dangerous also. nothing is quite this simple

I've never really said anything negative to you and you basically keep popping into threads just specifically to say this.
On top of that, you act like what you describe is something unique that only happens in the GDF.

I've actually been supportive of him and he does this to me too.

Yes.. There's something wrong when there's only 4 people posting in the entire subforum. That's not a good thing, that means nobody wants to post anymore.
And DIGI you're new blood as far as the past few weeks is concerned on this subforum.

The forum has been in a steady decline for a while, it's really not due to just the last few weeks or anything.
For me, violence at rallies is less of a threat to democracy than what's in the news in the UK again today
The Conservative government attempting to block an investigation into their party rigging elections in key constituencies. It has the potential for declaring the election void.
