Honest question...

What are you going to do with yourself once sports returns?
I look forward to having sports around again to find out. Until then, a big FU to the effin' ChiComs for this totally avoidable cultural and economic nightmare. We finally have a team to compete and now we'll be lucky to even play a few games...if that.
 
left and right are misnomers here. Go far enough left or right and you wind up in nazi/commie authoritarianstan. Authoritarianism is the danger here.

Of course, but she did it in a sloppy way and made the exact opposite point she was wanting to make.

Just to knit pick, I suggest that the state enforced burning 6 million Jews was a RADICAL departure from conserving the German, Polish or any other culture just prior to Hitler gaining power.

Hitler was a radical, wouldn't you agree?

I'd say the opposite. He burned them to conserve German culture. In his twisted mind, he was preserving German culture by rejecting the Marxist Bolshiveks which he felt had infiltrated German society and had betrayed Germany after WWI.

So the culture just prior to Hitler's takeover in his mind was NOT the true culture of Germany. Which is why he was trying to remove undesirables who had sullied German culture.

German culture included Jews living freely before Hitler.

Hitler was a radical who changed that.

You're dug in on a very simple thing to understand, Hitlers radicalism. Whatevs.

Jews living freely? No. Jews lived unencumbered in Germany for centuries before Hitler?

But whatevs works.
 
Ummmm... It's right there in the name. National Socialist German Workers' Party.

Sure. But, their name was adopted when they were an extremely tiny political party. Before Hitler was even a member. By the time they were large enough to be considered a legitimate political party, there was nothing socialist about their political agenda. Hitler was anti-socialism, and had leadership of socialist political parties murdered.

I was just yanking your chain.

So popped in for the first time in awhile. Saw massive thread. Before I invest a day into wading through this, is it worth it?

strong at the start. Gets really good for a while. Then the usual suspects drag it off a cliff.

I’ll throw in my two cents here: when you have a president who actively seeks division through constant “Us vs. Them” messaging, childish nicknames and general pettiness, it’s no surprise that the country feels more divided than it’s been in a while. This didn’t happen on accident.
Basket of deplorables...
Racist..
Homophobic...
Islamophobic...
Misogynistic...

Yeah, it's definitely Trump doing the division. Brilliant observation.
 
Expound, please.

Why don't we compare the murder of the 5 year old to this murder that happened within 48 hours of the 5 year old's murder. It also did not get the same treatment as the GF murder. Is there some kind of nefarious media plot in the works? Or, are they being treated differently because the circumstances are different?

Yeah, uh, Been, DUI isn't quite the same as shooting a 5 year old. It's tragic and preventable, but not in the same universe as the premeditated homicide of a child.

So we are on the same page that identity politics is a path that leads to hell. Well, that's heartening.

Exactly. Just like what happened to GF is not in the same universe as premeditated homicide of a five year old child.

Is what happened to George Floyd as clear as someone shooting a 5 year old in the head? I don't recall GF being shot in the head.
