Current Events > "Its the fault of the left" "alt right are nazis" etc

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wtf is this left right bullshit? Are people really incapable of having their own beliefs or opinions that they have to huddle together in these fucking groups? I dont even understand what this shit means any time its brought up. Why cant people just think for themselves?

Didnt you know, it's a contest

Because throwing labels at one another dehumanizes the opposition and makes all these people feel like they are in the right.

They can identify as anything they want. Doesn't change the fact that everyone are just egocentrical poop machines trying to look better than the rest.

some people are just miserable and too caught up in their own misguided tribalism to make coherent, educated arguments. let alone rational life decisions.

placing labels on those who threaten their comfort comes with the territory.

There was always this fringe nutcase stuff on both sides. It's just that somehow, somewhere in these last few years things have gotten so much worse. And I don't know if it's really that those viewpoints have spread so much as it is simply that they have become louder thanks especially to social media and the fact that both fringe groups are really really stupid. And I really want to stress that last part. Alt-left, alt-right. Both groups are made up of severely stupid people.
I'm sure the alt-left side will trumpet their self important degrees in woman's literature, gender studies and dance but it's worthless. It's all worthless. Because they're not smart, they're not educated. Indoctrinated sure. But they're not intelligent. They live in a bubble.
The alt-left is "Murica!" to a nauseating degree. And they too and ignorant. Not that patriotism is bad at all it's just not about skin color or where you come from.
It's just a complete lack of self awareness, intelligence and a total lack of any ability to listen to whatever someone else may have to say from the other side. It's a my way of the highway for both sides. With "Fascist! or Hitler lover!" thrown onto opponents as if it's baby's first internet argument and they think either label is somehow this instant argument win for them. And in the meantime.
The general left is tired of self righteous bs being thrown at them from the right and just want to see them all fail now at any cost.

But none of the extreme talk is the majority. At least I hope not. Because nothing good will come if it is. People just need to calm the hell down and distance themselves from the madness. But I just don't see that happening unless the internet and cable news suddenly disappeared.

I mean it's perfectly fair to call the group using nazi tactics and imagery "nazis" or "fascists".

The whole "both sides" thing was started by people who lean right so they could engage in whataboutism to downplay the riots and terror attack (which was committed by one of the aforementioned nazis) because apparently if people blame nazis and only nazis for what nazis did, that means the right-wing "loses" or something.

Wankers gonna wank.

Why do people keep calling it a terror attack? It was a sudden murder. I don't think the guy planned to kill when he got up that morning
Terrorist attacks are planned in advance

Why do people keep calling it a terror attack?

the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear. coup de main, surprise attack.

Because it was a terror attack

He just happened to find himself plowing through a crowd of protesters

As we all do at some point during our day.

Road rage is a thing.

There are many murders that happen because of mental instability or rage rather than premeditation.

Agreed.

That is not the case here though.
