Richpa Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I've promised to myself that I'll no more participate in the political talk here but it is somehow getting on my nerves when people are demonizing my country even if/when it is deserved. PLUR and shit, peeps. Mainstream media in Croatia is giving it's best to make Russia look bad in eyes of common people, degrading it on so many levels but most of people doesn't buy it anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixZeroFou4 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 So far trump has already walked back two things he said he would do. Those strings are attaching nicely to that pudgy clown. The people who truly supported him will want him impeached when they see he lied every which way to win. It's going to get ugly Verdict: trump is beyond sociopath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goa constrictor Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 ?! There have been numerous attacks on queer, people of color, and women since he won the election. Even in my super progressive town, people in trucks are yelling "White is Right" in parking lots. This is scary. I am so beyond thankful that I am a straight white male at this point. Trump is not a fucking teddy bear and he is emboldening this behavior and making it acceptable. That is NOT okay by any stretch. He wants to get rid of the EPA and his vice president believes in torturing gay people to make the gay go away. This is repugnant. You all should be scared too. He could essentially sink us all with policies that don't address climate change. His EPA pick is a climate change denier. I am nauseated due to this. This has a very real potential of dire consequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These range from anti-Black to anti-woman to anti-LGBT incidents. There were many examples of vandalism and epithets directed at individuals. Often times, types of harassment overlapped and many incidents, though not all, involved direct references to the Drumpf campaign. Every incident could not be immediately independently verified. Sorry, but this is fucking scary and dangerous. These people have been legitimized and this isn't going to get better unless there is a direct response from the government and then a direct action from law enforcement. But law enforcement has been demonstrably part of the problem for a while themselves. My heart rate hasn't slowed since Tuesday.

Veracohr Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The president only has so much power. What's more concerning to me is the number of people who voted for him BECAUSE he stoked the fires of bigotry. And now those people feel justified.

Hate has existed before trump and it will exist after. He has to carefully time how he reveals he stoked people up just to use them for a vote. Can't have both sides angry at the same time.

the goa constrictor Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 What kind of King worries over things he can't control. One who cares about others And we can control this. By standing up for one another, drawing a hard and fast line in the sand regarding these abhorrent behaviors and thoughts, and working together collectively to correct this bullshit as soon as possible. Can't have both sides angry at the same time. Are you not getting this? The racists, misogynists, xenophobes, and nationalists have been here this whole time but have been kept in check lately. If Trump were to, tomorrow, say, "now now, we need to take care of one another and not be divisive" it won't make a lick of difference. All of those people came out of the word work and have felt the power of being an abuser and justified in actions, thanks to his words, and they are not going to just forget and turn the other cheek. This isn't some manipulation of some illuminati pitting people against people. This is a faction of people who do not believe that others are equals, some don't think the others should even live. This is their moral beliefs. It's not going to change if Trump says anything different. Trump didn't invent these people. He gave them the power to show their faces.

Those who are will lash out when they realize a billionaire from NYC tricked them. 1 side at a time. I like you, but you must realize you have no control.. then you will realize you have full control. =) The reason why you don't have enough pencils is because it's not that serious. The people will always prevail. People are not stupid and they will unite to defeat true evil and trump is not true evil. There's already people feeling dumb he won when he said he never would. Now imagine how people will feel when they see he truly did good.. those people are going to feel even dumber. Let's say we heard a Goa album that was absolutely horrible.. it might be agreed by close to everyone it's horrible, pass on it. Now take the amazing goa album (anything by astral projection) and think of those numbers. The hate domestically is not that large and the people protesting are not that large because it's just not that serious. You need to calm down because everything is fine.

SixZeroFou4 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Plus let me fill you in on something. We have a country overrun by people breaking the law because we enable it. We give sanctuary to people breaking the law. We allow people to commit crime while we pay for it. This country is filled with scum. Domestically we let ourselves go and that is ending. Internationally we handled things wrong and the hatred that spawned is far worse. Someone who can drop the hammer is needed. Trump is the perfect puppet to restore a general tone of the world moving forward in a direction of positivity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goa constrictor Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm sorry, but this Everything Will Be Fine, Just, Like, Zen It Out Bro is fucking bullshit. I'm sensing a serious tone of privilege in your comments. The number of hate crimes, since the election, have risen dramatically. Violence against women, people of color, people of different religious and ethnic backgrounds, homosexuals, transgender, and non-conformists in general, have exploded. This is not good and is not something to watch passively. What kind of sick person is okay with violence upon anyone? Not only that, but Trump has named Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, as “chief strategist and senior counselor” to the president. He will be one of Drumpf’s closest advisers and, one can presume, one of the most powerful people in America. In his role at Breitbart, he promoted and legitimized the modern white supremacist movement, sometimes euphemistically referred to as the “alt-right.” Ben Shapiro, who worked alongside Bannon for four years as Breitbart’s Editor-at-Large, wrote that Bannon “openly embraced the white supremacist alt-right.” According to Shapiro, “Breitbart has become the alt-right go-to website… pushing white ethno-nationalism as a legitimate response to political correctness, and the comment section turning into a cesspool for white supremacist mememakers.” Shapiro describes Bannon as “a vindictive, nasty figure, infamous for verbally abusing supposed friends and threatening enemies.” Look, this is not just someone like Mitt Romney, or even George W Bush coming into office. This is a bit more serious, not only of intent, but of the roll back of safety and protections of the people who need them the most. This isn't some shit metaphor for Goa trance.

SixZeroFou4 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 How have they exploded. Give me a statistic on how many hate crimes have been committed. We have a population of roughly 350 million people. You said 209 hate crimes.. out of 350 million people. Back to the metaphor.. There's nothing going on.
