That rhetoric is a negative, but I didn't hear him incite people to murder.
And you are unhinged. This is known. Try to have a normal weekend and do whatever you need to do to calm down in a harmless manner.
Play a game. Replace Trump with Obama. Imagine Obama being asked about what we can do to stop violence from both sides.
What would he say?
Would he say "well, The radicals on the left often times are radical because they don't want to see oppression.. They don't want to see inequality. Worried about equal rights. They're saying, We don't want our freedom to marry who we want disrupted. We don't want you taking away Trans rights to exist. We don't want you shooting our people in the middle of the street,"
"The radicals on the right are the problem," Obama continued, "and they're vicious and they're horrible.
And if Obama did say that, how would you, as a person on the right, interpret that?

It's strange that people forget that the far right calls anyone they consider to the left of them facists too.
They don't forget, they ignore. Like the dozens and dozens of posts over the last several days detailing political violence from the right and demonization of the left as scum, cockroaches, and vermin.
And then their next post is "gosh, why is the left so violent? Why does the left have so much hate?"
Etc., etc., etc.
It's classic Internet trolling but for some reason we have to keep acting like they're posting in good faith.

It's why none of the decent Longhorns I know would step foot in this dump. And why this website will never grow. I would be glad to be banned. I am no longer wasting time with you awful humans.
Hahaha
You do this routine like once a month, you sniveling snowflake.

So does this cancel it out?
QuoteThe 16-year-old boy who shot two students and then himself at Evergreen High School this week appeared to espouse white supremacist views online
Or will the impending crack down only fall on blue cities and the left?

Who's gonna be the first poster on here to post a doctored pic from Gateway or Infowars or 4chan or IncelVille that purports to show his political leanings?
Bonus points if you guess the first mainstream outlet to republish it

Just now, caliHORNia said:I think you, and everyone cheering, is missing the point. I am not a Charlie Kirk fan but, in America, one is allowed to be stupid. It is everyone's right to have opinions that are not the same as yours (or mine) without the threat of violence.
Charlie engaged in war of words. If people are not capable of countering those words with words of their own, the answer is not to shoot the other person.
I hate the Left and the Right - while agreeing with some issues from both - and I should feel free to have those conversations / debate without fear of losing my life.
Cheering. Fuck off. Not once did I support the shooting, defend it, or excuse it. I was pushing back that he was some "unifier" and promoted peace. That was it.
Missing the point, indeed.

come on, man.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gateway_Pundit
QuoteThe Gateway Pundit (TGP) is an American far-right[2] fake news website.[1] The website is known for publishing falsehoods, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories.[35]
Founded in 2004 by Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit expanded from a one-person enterprise into a multi-employee operation, supported primarily by advertising revenue.[36][37] During the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, the site received over a million unique visitors per day.[38]
In September 2021, Google demonetized the site for publishing misinformation.[39][40][41] In April 2024, Hoft announced that the TGP parent company, TGP Communications, had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, blaming multiple defamation lawsuits.[42] The bankruptcy case was dismissed in July 2024, with the judge finding it had been filed in bad faith to avoid the lawsuits against the site

If we're gonna play the hits, how about the "abortion is Murder!" crowd that led directly to killings and bombings of abortion providers and clinics?

Juggling 2 books at the moment, one for a book club that I recently joined
I've really enjoyed all of Powers' works. The Overstory remains one of my favorite reads from the last 5 years and I'm about 60% of the way through this one. Focuses on three characters - two men who grew up together in Chicago (one White, one Black) and attended Illinois together. Both were geniuses. They were inseparable. One went on to become a Jobs/Zuckerberg type character. The other, ends up living a simple life on a small island in the South Pacific. The third character is a woman who trailblazed deep-sea diving and oceanography during a time when men dominated the field.
For the book club, I'm reading this:
The entire book is a collection of letters written by and to the protagonist - a retired lawyer in her 70s. The correspondents range from her neighbors, her kids, former colleagues, and even some famous folks like Anne Patchett and Larry McMurtry. The letter are in chronological order and tell her life story through anecdotes and the conversations within the letters. A very ambitious way of telling a story, and despite my hesitancy and skepticism, I've quite enjoyed it so far.

Biden issued an EO mandating federal employees get a vaccine, whether the individual agreed with it or not. The consequence of not getting a vaccine was being fired.
Instead of coming on surly to complain they took their arguments to court and won and were reinstated. Politically, they did so in elections as well.
I don’t know what is hilarious about that, but conservatives have to live by the rules too. It wasn’t easy or painless to stand up for what they believe in, but they followed the rules and did.
Foosters, you can do it too. Simply partner up with some likeminded folks or go alone, file a lawsuit, and get this changed.
Conservatives didn't go on the internet to complain? They just kept their heads down and quietly went to work on fighting the injustice?
A federal EO limited to federal employees is equivalent to an EO telling public school teachers what they can say in a classroom?
If you don't see the hilarity in the absurdity of your statements, I can't help you there.

The EO says any institution accepting money from Federal government/State government has to follow the content of the EO. Texas A&M falls into this. This professor challenged this by pushing her view about genders. There is a consequence to that. If you think the employees of Texas A&M don't have to follow the EO, simply file a lawsuit in state or federal court and make the same arguments you are making here on Surly. Posting them here isn't going to get you what you want.
The last President created the DEI EO and our society didn't agree with it. Specifically, the majority of Texas and Americans didn't accept it. As someone pointed out earlier things like genders are determined by society. Society (US and Texas) had a vote and this is what was decided.
The professor doesn't have to agree with it. They can teach where their views/beliefs are aligned.
Conservatism in a nutshell.
Rules for thee, not for me. Hilarious

Our society had an election. As a result, at Texas A&M, there are only 2 genders. Period. It’s a fact.
Putting aside for a moment the idea that a president can issue binding orders on how many genders there are, since you seem to believe that is a valid executive function, you'd then agree that if a democratic president issued an EO that there are more than 2 genders, that is now the "law" and any attempts by conservative states to push back would be improper, and schools would be required to teach that?

Just a reminder that our current president pardoned the people who caused the deaths on 1/6. You know, if we’re keeping score on who actually likes political violence and who doesn’t.
He also recently PUBLICLY STATED that he was considering pardoning the people who plotted to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

Over the past decade you've ceded all institutional credibility and all moral highground. Yet that will be nothing compared to the state of your soul after death if you do not repent. My advice is to step away from the keyboard, take a deep breath, and ask God for mercy. Then the catastrophe might be avoided. Have a goodnight.

Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
in Cloak Room
Posted
Same. Also off Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and no more subscriptions to NY or LA times. I haven't watched news of any kind on TV for a couple of years now.
But honestly, my reflexive opening up Surly every 15 mins is a problem. I'll go through periods where I intentionally avoid DT (board for culture issues)and CR (politics and culture issues) but I lack the self control to really stay away. The nights when I'm on my couch with a book are ALWAYS so much more enjoyable than the phone, but I lack the discipline
