There isn’t much to understand. Antifa is wholly composed of reprobates role-playing their protest fantasies in the public square, virtue-signalling i...

I fear it’s more arbitrary than that. The term “fascist” is thrown about pre-emptively, before any fascism can be demonstrated. “Fascism” is thus used...

Do you see this version of fascism somewhere?
September 19, 2020 at 21:52
Not “what is fascism”, but “what fascism”? But thank you nonetheless.

As far as I can tell the so-called “fascism” they are protesting against doesn’t exist beyond their own skulls. What fascism? But while they protest t...

Plenty of disagreement. I disagree with your false definition of the word “lies” and I also disagree with your area of concern. While you focus on cro...

I don’t think he was right. But I also don’t think he was lying. Were you aware that event goers had to contend with riots and a violent mob? What are...

It is a fact, by their own statements, that they intended to disrupt the inauguration, and attempted to do so. The media was astroturfed, the inaugura...

As for the what, he is a man. As for the who, his life is a matter of public record, and is probably the most scrutinized and famous figure of the 21s...

Say what you want, but you’ve deviated so far from the topic into a tirade of histrionics. Are you able to approach the topic without the typical Trum...

You cannot deny the rights of Americans by criticizing ultra-wealthy athletes. Have you gone mad?

Though I can understand the insult as a means to remind everyone of your bona fides, I’m sure we agree on much more.
