RE: 2020 Campaign is Going to Be UGLY

Yes, let's tell donny how much his steel cages are pristine and shiny and about how great those drone strikes were.

Being a mayor and being president are different things, you're blinded by ideology and it's extremely cringey.

A mayor does not preside over concentration camps, or drone strikes, try again, bud. You need to check with reality and not the rose tinted past.

Sort:  

And you need to not let yourself be controlled by your emotions. You're letting yourself be controlled by hate. You're going off on unrelated tangents, about things that are unrelated to what I'm talking about. I'm trying to talk about civility, you're trying to attack my character. I'm not blinded by ideology, not once have I brought in any of your talking points, nor did I mention the president. You did that all on your own. You're the one blinded by ideology, and it's extremely cringey.

And the fact that you missed the point entirely speaks far more to how lost you already are. Do you even know what my point was? My entire point was that we spend so much time in this "us vs them" mentality that it's poisoning our country. And your replies play right into my point. I hate to break it to you, but you're the bad guy here, not me. Try a little civility, it works wonders. Speaking from experience.

Duuude, this is so cringe.

Donald Trump is literally murdering children in yemen, and you advocate for erasing that fact and want presidential candidates to eat lunch with him and talk about how great he is.

I'm not "controlled by emotions", I'm presenting facts. Actually, you are the one controlled by emotions if you get offended when someone calls out your garbage, and can't debate the facts of the matter.

Being nice to murderers is not civility, it's erasure of their crimes and their victims.

Again, I didn't say anything about how great any candidate is. I'm talking about seeing people as people. You're going off on Syria and steel cages, foregoing my points entirely. And yes, you are being controlled by your emotions. You're so angry that I'm calling for the same civility I'm giving you, and that you're conflating me with murderers. I mean, I could just tell you to fuck off and mute you, but what good would that do? As long as people keep digging trenches and see others as libtards or degenerate rednecks, things are only going to get worse. We could continue othering people, treating those we don't like as sub human. Or we could try and look beyond that. You know, give people a chance to heal. It's not "erasing crimes or victims," a you put it. It's a chance for victims to heal.

But hey, you want blood? You're gonna get it soon enough. Keep it up, see where this takes you. You've played Warcraft 3, right? Remember Arthas Menethil? So blinded by his zeal to strike down the forsaken, he didn't see that he was being led straight into their ranks. But he was right, wasn't he? The forsaken were a blight upon Lordaeron. They were soulless monsters, deserving only of being slain. Arthas was so far into that mindset that it tainted him from within. He thought Froalstmourne would help him defeat the forsaken, only to find out that it was made by the forsaken to recruit him to their ranks.

There's an analogy here. Sometimes you have to take a step back, before you plunge yourself into the abyss. And maybe, just maybe, that person you're arguing with might not be a bad person. They might have all the right intentions, just like you.

You're so angry that I'm calling for the same civility I'm giving you, and that you're conflating me with murderers.

I haven't done that, so I'm just now convinced you are just blabbing and blogging to yourself with me involved unnecessarily, so I'll just stop talking to you.

Try actually debating the facts for once, and not getting emotionally involved so much because it's impossible to converse with someone like you in this fashion otherwise.

And no I haven't played Warcraft.

New flash: The subject was 2020 presidential campaigns, don't try to pretend it wasn't.
