Pfft. The left is all about censoring and engineering society so that no one has hurt feelings or disagreement. Just because conservatives don't have solutions that conform perfectly to your egalitarian and cultural relativist world-view doesn't mean that they're inferior to your synthesized solutions.

You folks are laughably ideological to a point of parody. You latch on to rhetoric and baseless criticism of conservatives from late-night TV comedians, but anything a conservative says that hasn't been proven beyond a reasonable doubt in the court of law is not worthy of consideration. Never stop.

You struggle at critical thinking. It wasn't that the feds didn't want to harm them, it's that the feds didn't want to shoot them. There's a huge difference.

If the civilians were not armed with guns, the police simply would have apprehended them with non-lethal means.

If the civilians are armed with guns the police have to shoot them.

Not shooting someone = no PR nightmare

Shooting someone = PR nightmare and not worth it

Do you follow, or are you just going to echo more ideologically biased nonsense?

It makes sense if you think about it. They certainly didn't do it to desegregate or unify multicultural populations. It's actually the exact opposite. They do it to create an exclusive ethnocultural identity and social class for the purpose of playing identity politics and using broad terminology and rhetoric to pander and appeal to a large demographic.

Are you implying that there isn't and never was a Hollywood blacklist for conservatives?

Lefties value secularism, but there is a certain immaterial aspect to how you folks form your political views.

It doesn't seem unlike other spiritual ideologies in that it clearly has identified what is spiritually analogous to "the devil". They don't believe in the devil, but instead they believe Hitler to be the the epitome of darkness and chaos. Everyone who disagrees with their orthodoxy is considered a "heretic" (racist/fascist) and is considered to be a and representative of Hitler; an individual or group of individuals that exists for no reason but to create chaos amidst their order.

This is why I don't understand this idea that the left is a "resistance". Progressivism is the default orthodoxy. It's the default academic, corporate, media, and entertainment worldview. If there was any worldview in Western civilization to which society was being conditioned, it would have to be progressivism. If progressive views were the human default, then they wouldn't have to be taught in schools and legally enforced. People wouldn't have to be taught political correctness.

The problem is that while Hitler was an ideologically corrupt dictator responsible for inhumane atrocities, I don't think that he's the antithesis of what should be considered moral. If you would take someone like Joseph Stalin or Mao Zedong and epitomize them with darkness and chaos, then you would see your own progressive world-views as being inherently corrupted as well.

From what I can tell, you just call anything that isn't left-leaning or centrist to be "far right". A lot of lefties do this. I'm wondering why you would do that. It's almost like you aren't "the resistance" that you think you are and that leftism is actually the institutional default.

lol @ the biased rhetoric in this thread.

Conservatives are stupid because lefty late night hosts say so.

The irony is that Bill Maher, John Oliver, Trevor Noah, Jordan Klepper, Sam Bee, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart have legitimized the forming of political opinions on the basis of logical fallacies. They present themselves as legitimate sources of information to the retarded masses, but will hide behind "it's just comedy" when confronted with any criticism on their behavior. It is designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. It's the antithesis of intellectual discourse.

I'm simply illustrating that a case for bias can be made either way. Obviously Fox news has lefty contributors. Doesn't make them unbiased. You're trying to make the case that Fox News is worse than CNN. Good luck with that.
