Fired by facebook is a thing?

[Hammerdan-proudmoore]

Never reveal your power level on social media unless you can safely remain anonymous.

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

No, it’s correct.

That it is desperation on your part to be right about something? Not sure you realize you are agreeing with me.

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

I complain that you are having issues understanding what I’m writing

No one has had issues understanding it, the issue is you are drawing conclusions from thin air, and making yourself upset. You did it to yourself. At least own up to it champ.

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

I don’t know what world you think that would happen in.

The matter is not whether or not he would, but the implications of resigning vs being fired. You’re simply arguing for the sake of it.

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

Yep

Thank you for admitting it. Perhaps you can find closure in acceptance.

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

Well, first

Your post is the example of a strawman.

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

God, you’re so sensitive. You’re a conservative? Really?

You said you cannot be a troll, but if you are not, then it may be unwise of you to make implication on the intelligence of others.

I would like to say to this… so please dont make it somethings it’s not
Pre 2010

Alot of us could only be ourselves online because societys views on us we had to hide in closest and online things so we could only be personal online… and well honest on the web…

Now days ppl have it easy… tbh so I guess it’s TRUE now

That’s literally all you do, friend.

I’m not arguing for the sake of it. You made a point and I responded. That’s kind of how conversations work… now you know.

@Broflake-illidan

Yep

@Broflake-illidan

Your post is the example of a strawman.

I don’t think you know what that means. I think you think you know what that means, but that’s not the same thing.

@Broflake-illidan

You said you cannot be a troll, but if you are not, then it may be unwise of you to make implication on the intelligence of others.

I don’t see what the two have to do with each other. But, seriously, are you a conservative? I really don’t see it. You’re so emotional.

[Quirinn-medivh]

That was my point.

Same with the flag. It is a symbol of the Confederacy. The confederacy was formed to preserve the institution of slavery, that is what was stated in their declaration of succession. So that flag is a symbol of the confederacy and therefore the ideals of the confederacy; aka slavery.

Saying that the flag and the symbology associated with it is ignorant at best and lost cause rhetoric at worst.

Doing the same thing with a swastika, saying it is a Hindu symbol of well being and not associating it with NG and the angry mustached man is ignorant at best and at neo-n___ism at worst.

[Elisaweta-ravencrest]

Eh both sides are emotional anything happens converse cry it’s a war on the religion rights . Liberals also are…

The only way ur not a whiner is if your green lol

That’s fair, I’m not part of any of the groups subjected to that treatment so it’s not something I have experience with.

Either way, some level of anonymity when posting things online was and still is safest. Any time one ties anything to their name online, no matter how benign, a risk is being taken. You never know when something could get misconstrued, confused, etc, resulting in countless virtual pitchforks being thrown at you.

@Rankin-shandris

racist symbol

I have been vocal on this issue a lot on here. What this flag represents has changed over time, just like Pepe the frog. The media did its job and vilified Pepe.

Back when I was a kid the flagrant you were proud to be southern. It also meant you were working class and not yuppie 1% scum. It meant rebellion - usually against the extreme conservatives demanding guys get crew cuts, wear the right clothes (ie no jeans or t-shirts), have no facial hair - basically rebelling against the Right version of today’s PC culture.

I used to hear a cap with that flag on it and my black friends and I hung out and it was never an issue. There are even videos on YouTube were African Americans support his flag as history end not hate.

Truth be told 75% of the southerns did not own slaves. They fought under that flag to fight for/defend their states. No I am not trying to say the war wasn’t about slavery, but saying every single person who fought for the south was defending slavery. It would be like saying every single person in the recent protests were there to riot.

The Circle wasnt just a movie. It was a prophecy

[Huntardia-whitemane]

@Cairnage-greymane

Right leaning people believe everyone has choices and their life is made up of those choices. Sure there may be things that might make it more difficult to make the correct choices, but in the end the individual makes the choices, not their history.

I don’t believe I’m right leaning, but this just seems like common sense to me.

[Danidaydream-bleeding-hollow]

Because you arent looking into the context of what i said.
The person i replied to wasnt even on a topic of protestors or police brutality.

[Elisaweta-ravencrest]

Ya back when I got married I had to move 6 states away and we got married in the frozen-5 degrees weather at night in Iowa all because society at the time so I kinda get y ppl do personal stuff online

[Broflake-illidan]

@Cairnage-greymane

First I said Left in general it was not directed at you. That being said,

Then…why say it in the first place? Honest question.

@Cairnage-greymane

Is a left leaning ideology. Right leaning people believe everyone has choices and their life is made up of those choices. Sure there may be things that might make it more difficult to make the correct choices, but in the end the individual makes the choices, not their history.

These thought processes have nothing to do with ether left or right, as left and right are political ideologies not philosophical or cultural ones. These are entirely in the realm of personal beliefs.
Let alone this is not simply a mater of choices.
Breaking free from the cycle of drug use and rising above poverty are extremely difficult things to do. Yes, everyone has a choice, but it is wrong to say one’s circumstances do not play a heavy influence.
Heck, there are many individuals who don’t break free because it is frightening to get away from the environment.

@Cairnage-greymane

I am glad that in your infinite wisdom you are the arbiter of the absolute meaning of another’s words and thoughts. Nice ego.

Yeah, its not like the person provided an image and statement which supported said interpretation. So glad you found the fallacy in the conclusion and didn’t throw a fit because you feel your ideologies are under attack.

@Cairnage-greymane

FYI - I have no dog in this hunt

Then refrain from obnoxious comments like the above one and you won’t give the image of having one.

@Cairnage-greymane

I just hate Karens and their cancel culture. They are the new version of the Moral Majority screaming everyone is a heretic and that they are going to burn in he77.

Guy said a stupid thing.
Made a comment about a victim of police brutality.
He got burned for it.

Why be surprised?

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

That’s literally all you do, friend.

This is the equivalent of “I know you are but what am I.” You’re not doing much to demonstrate I am incorrect. All you are doing is claiming I called you something when I didn’t.

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

I’m not arguing for the sake of it

Seems like it bud. You may not intend it, but your words say otherwise.

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

I don’t think you know what that means

The same way you thought defending a racist symbol by arguing its meaning has changed, means you are a racist?

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

You’re so emotional.

Better accuse others of the things you do. That makes sense

[Kittredge-azjolnerub (Kittredge)]

True, but a minority of people who fought and died in that war owned slaves. It was poor men, and children who died defending slaves they would never own, and never profit from. But, they adopted the flag themselves, and as I stated, generationally its image has stayed the same, but it’s meaning has shifted.

This is why I didn’t try to make a point about the shift of the swastika. It’s meaning hasn’t changed, and people still adopt it to reference its usage in WW2 era Germany.

The flag however, is different. It’s much more complex.

[Waidmann-gilneas (Waidmann)]

@Sniffed-illidan

Ahh fascism has nothing to do with left or right its imposing ones will threw fear, intimidation or violence against another

Sounds kind of like what Antifa does

[Cairnage-greymane (Cairnage)]

@Broflake-illidan

Breaking free from the cycle of drug use and rising above poverty are extremely difficult things to do.

So you believe the racist ideology that African Americans are poorer and more likely to use drugs?

I don’t. I have grown up poor and with less advantages than most African Americans my kids age

[Huntardia-whitemane]

@Chroesire-bleeding-hollow

So if you wouldn’t say it in person, don’t say it online either. Same rules apply.

Or say it and just be prepared for the reaction. Or say it on your second account under an alias.

[Kittredge-azjolnerub (Kittredge)]

@Broflake-illidan

Seems like it bud. You may not intend it, but your words say otherwise.

Would like one quote… just one. How about an example? You’ve made the claim like twenty times, you’d think you could give me an example via quote. I’ll wait.

@Broflake-illidan

The same way you thought defending a racist symbol by arguing its meaning has changed, means you are a racist?

I didn’t say it meant I was racist, I stated that you were indicating that I was racist because I supposedly defended a racist icon. Which I never did.

@Broflake-illidan

Better accuse others of the things you do. That makes sense

Didn’t this chat start with me stating that I don’t value your thoughts or opinions and then me telling you that you don’t have to respond to me? To which you responded over and over, with you telling me just how much I care? Yeah, good luck with that.

[Cairnage-greymane (Cairnage)]

It is common sense, that why I said right leaning

Most of the leftist ideology I learned (even 40 some years ago when I was kid in school) taught me that some people cant make proper choices because of their history. I am old enough to see that can happen (as it has somewhat for me) but you have to hold people accountable for their actions for the greater society at large.

[Kentaurus-turalyon (Kentaurus)]

This was kind of the point I was trying to make earlier. Common sense. Logic. Whatever people want to call it. But people need to USE it. If people have to be told how not to be a jerk then the problem lies with them.
