I guess if some like that poster are squeezed a little they let their inner bigot out.

Originally posted by Starlight View PostIf you say so. My reading of history is that the reason that Canada isn't part of the US is because Canada started out as a French colony, and that after it became more British the attempt(s) by the US to invade it (e.g. the War of 1812) were unsuccessful. I don't claim to know how many attempts were made and have never stated a number in my posts.
With regard to political violence, my understanding of both the international and US data is that right-wingers are several orders of magnitude more violent than left-wingers with regard to political violence. The exception is self-identified communist revolutionary groups (there are none active in the US), whose violence is often on-par with right-wing groups. (I have had discussions elsewhere in this forum about whether it is actually helpful to group communists in with other 'left-wing' groups due to the tendency of communists to be more similar to right-wing groups than left-wing ones with regard to numerous aspects)

That doesn't make him antifa. The police conclusion appeared to be that his attack had no political nor racial motivation. Can you understand that "he, once in his life, liked an antifa tweet" and "he himself was an active member of antifa" and "he committed the act because he was an active member of antifa" are three different things?

This is an example of your typical disinterest in truth that I find really disturbing.
I think your posts ooze with nastiness. I don't see how you reconcile that with your alleged Christianity,
or frankly with your being Canadian (are you American by birth maybe?).

I have never seen nastier people in my life than the majority of atheists and liberal so-called "Christians" on this site.

Suuuuuurrrreee.
Sigh. Maybe try starting with a teeny little bit of love for others? A little bit of kindness and compassion now and then maybe?

Originally posted by Ronson View PostMy main complaint was with Reep, who throws false information around and you accept it without inquiry because it fit your worldview.
I assume you also accepted the "Bear in mind Right-wing extremists have killed 329 victims in the last 25 years [in the US], while Antifa members haven't killed any" without checking.
Seer's article, by contrast was just a right-wing opinion piece and it listed the details of each case so it was easy to read and see why the conclusions the opinion piece writer was trying to draw from them weren't warranted.
I'm a scientist and I do generally try to exercise a lot of quality control with regard to what I believe, and because I try to be skeptical of what I read and hear, the strength of my beliefs can be nuanced. Overall I would say I've seen a sufficiently large amount of information from a sufficiently large variety of credible sources, to say that right-wingers do far more, and far more serious, political violence in general than left-wingers (literal communists excluded).Last edited by Starlight; 08-17-2020, 10:57 PM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

And I certainly wouldn't waste my time reading anything that a "former" Christian wrote about Christianity.

I value truth as sacred. I don't do affirmative action for idiots with dumb and false ideas, sorry. If you want me to not view you as an intellectual toddler pooping in your nappies, maybe do less pooping? Less listening to extremist / fake news sources would be a good start. Less buying into "they're all out to get us" conspiracy mongering would also be an improvement.
And you assume much when you think you know what I read or "buy into". To know anything at all about those things you would have to know the operation of my mind, or perhaps be omniscient like the God you think you once knew.

That's a far harsher assessment of your posts than even I would have given."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Originally posted by Starlight View PostLots of conflicting information still seems to be coming in, but it seems like his injuries were non-life-threatening and he's recovering in hospital.
The protesters appeared to have believed he had tried to run them over. There have been various incidents of this in the past, so they probably have reasonable cause to be concerned about it. In this case though it appears the man was probably just drunk-driving, so that probably explains the erratic nature of his driving rather than an intent to harm the protesters.
A leftist group causing a death would be truly exceptional. Bear in mind Right-wing extremists have killed 329 victims in the last 25 years [in the US], while Antifa members haven't killed any.
So much for they thought he was trying to run them over unless you are suggesting they had psychic visions of him doing so at some future point.
Btw, 29 people have died as a result of the riots including several being shot in their cars by antifa or BLM goons. But I'm sure you'll claim they all were trying to run people over like the pair of black teens in Seattle shot as they approached the CHAZ/CHOP barricade and the 8 year old girl in Atlanta as her mother tried to make a U-turn in front of barricades.
I'm always still in trouble again
