Patriots how? The guy is an American shot by an American there's no patriotism claim to his shooting.

Citizenship does not equal patriotism. Patriotism is subjectively dependent on personal viewpoints. The Nats would not view the ANC as patriots and the ANC would not view the Boeremag as patriots.

Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

The phrase "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" was famously stated by Samuel Johnson in 1775, referring to the insincere use of patriotism for self-interest rather than genuine love for one's country. Johnson believed that true patriotism should be motivated by the common good, not personal gain. Interesting Literature Wikipedia

Evidence. Not feels.

So, the left is now asking for evidence instead of just relying on feelings?

The world really feels like it’s been flipped upside down.

The only reason conservatives are so vocal about it is because liberals are so relentless in pushing it. If liberals stepped back, conservatives wouldn't need to oppose.

I know MyBB isn't the world, but perhaps keep an eye on which team always drags (excuse the pun) trannies into the conversation here.

They all secretly want to have tranny sex.
They like it as a taboo, when its normalised then it becomes boring.

This new like reaction thing sucks.

I never knew conservatives were this deathly afraid of other people's totties and vajayjays

It's a throwback to religion I think, violence and murder are all good, but god forbid a woman shows their nipple on TV.

Of course not, but people who repeatedly steer conversations towards spiders, clearly have an interest in the gay little arachnoids.

In Hungary, the hypocrisy of a homophobic priest is exposed​

Gergő Bese, an influential priest who relays the government's anti-LGBT propaganda extensively in the media, has been suspended from his duties after it was revealed that he participated in gay sex parties

No, Adolf Hitler did not say "that man, that young man, I forgive him." This phrase is associated with Erika Kirk, who spoke about forgiving the shooter of her husband, Charlie Kirk. Newsweek Wikipedia

Known for its closeness to Orbán, the Hungarian Catholic Church reacted swiftly to the article. The day after the dramatic suspension, the priest acknowledged in a brief statement that he had "made a mistake" and "apologized to all those whom [he] has offended and disappointed." "I was deceived, my naivety was taken advantage of and I lost my common sense," he added, without going into further detail about the circumstances surrounding the videos.

That "apology" reminds me of this:

Or it could be trying to steer the conversation towards a common acknowledgment of basic truth in the world. Which you need to establish if you want to solve the much more difficult problems.

I think the world desperately needs some kind of new classification of what it means to be a Conservative and what it means to be a Liberal.

I mean I'm conservative, but I love to see a nipple on TV or wherever I can and I am also not a bible basher that burns down abortion clinics.

I'm also sure the very few Liberals on MyBB have blue dyed hair and septum rings, or are busy transitioning.

Just sayin'.....

It seems a bit like agonising over a tear in the upholstery when your car's on fire though.

A great post. We need more sanity.

Yup, the people on the extremes of both sides seem to dominate the discourse when in reality moderate conservatives and moderate liberals have far more in common with each other than the fringes lunatics on their side.

Why was it bad when the SS removed Jews but not bad when ICE randomly target brown people.

You're desperately trying to weave a false narrative here.

1. The Jews were German and not illegal immigrants.
2. ICE does not randomly remove people of colour. It removes illegal immigrants, no matter their colour. They are not randomly targeting US citizens of colour.

You're attempting to paint a false equivalence narrative, and this deserves to be called out. Maybe you could state your reasons for doing this or supply evidence that your narrative is true?

I still consider myself a classical liberal. Neo conservative internet shytposters and neo “progressive” nonsense destroyed common sense. That’s why niche topics become so absurd cause it’s like walking into a room of children fighting over who is playing spiderman, superman or batman.

Ok, it's a stupid man in a dress.

Still not sure how stupid men in dresses seem to consume so much conservative head space though. It's like they can't just say "it's a stupid man in a dress" and move on.

The problem here is not the man with blue hair in the dress. It's the strong push for the acceptance of this behaviour and deeming these people to be women instead of men with a mental condition, when they are a tiny part of the population.
