I had two initial reactions:
1. WTF is wrong with people these days? So, you don't like another person's politics so you just go punch them? People need to get a friggin grip.
2. If this would have been reversed, it would have been on every single news channel 24/7. However, since it's a conservative, it's so far only being reported on right-leaning sites. The Convington student issues was front and center with zero violence simply because their was a MAGA hat, but this gets crickets.
Is it any wonder the average american is total disgusted with ALL politics right now?

1. WTF is wrong with people these days? So, you don't like another person's politics so you just go punch them? People need to get a friggin grip. I think there's a very simple explanation and I may be biased here. See, the world today is that everyone is a winner, there's no competition and everyone gets a trophy. People who are in their teens, twenties, even thirties, do not know what adversity is or what it is to be punched in the face for their actions.
This guy punched someone by thinking there's no one will beat the living shit out of him. I am there, I am doing just that. We need to stop being pussies.
As for double standards. There's much of it and 90% of it coming from the Left. Hey, the pendulum will swing the other way. I fear it. |

Leon, what you said about no competition is how the Soviet Union ended up.

I think it was Lenin back in the 1920s that observed that a country's political and economic leaders mostly came from the Universities.
He set in train a 'program' that concentrated the brain washing business to that area so that by graduation they were committed communists. That has over the past 40 years been expanded to the primary and secondary levels of education by concentration of propaganda on views consistent with 'the party line'.
From this came the new generations of teachers into the system that made it all self re-creational if that is a term. The media is a classic example of all of that.

Lenin first got rid of intelligentsia or anyone who would question him or Communism. The rest was pretty easy because the people who were left were either goosestepping Communists or people who feared for their lives and stayed quiet.

Is it any wonder the average american is total disgusted with ALL politics right now? Remember, these snowflakes are taught that their thoughts and opinions are important, even (and especially) as children. When I was growing up, you kept your piehole shut and learned until you were about 30 because you didn't know jack shit about the world, how it operated or why it operated that way. When their thoughts and opinions are paramount, any disagreement, no matter how small, becomes a "microaggression." Like a Rebel flag sticker on the top of a laptop 50 feet away. And when you're looking for them, they pile up very fast. So verbal aggression (i.e. disagreeing) is now equated with (and justifies) physical aggression. I find it ironic that after charging the kids up with this bullshit, Leftists seem actually surprised when they get hit with it. an article in Hypatia magazine a while back set the internet on fire and the magazine had to apologize for an article, where a Leftist professor took all of the arguments for transgenderism and used them for transracialism (the prime example being Rachel Dozal). She just about did a copy and paste, then find and replace, replacing transgenderism with transracialism. A more recent example was a bunch of children accosted Nancy Pelosi in her office, berating her with AOC's lines about "the Earth will be ruined in 10 years." Pelosi tried to have a discussion with the kids, but that was impossible because 1) they were young children and couldn't grasp concepts like that, and 2) all they were taught were the talking points and nothing beyond that. If you're a Leftist, it's a literal "you toe the party line if you want to keep your toes." If someone gets so much as half a pinkie toe off the ideological reservation, they remove everything up to the earlobes. |
