Okay since you named me and made accusations. I have nothing against Smallioz at all and that may be your own interpretation. Smallz has gotten angry at me sometimes when he thinks I am accusing him if being sexist when I ask in general for people to examine thier own gender biases, that’s just his opinion. I get why he would not want to be lumped in with misogynists in broad generalizations, I respect that. I got banned once for jokingly saying he doesn’t read the lore books because he admitted to not reading them.
Things come across way more negative and impersonal in writing than in speaking so I think we all tend to think we are having a clash of opinion when we are just having a regular old debate.
Also Smallioz admits when he’s wrong and apologizes. That’s a positive thing and I respect him for it. He also forgives easily and he was there for my friend when he needed help, I am grateful of that and shows me Smallioz is a good person.
Aaaaand you just outed yourself as being the same Renautus, making this an alternate/sock-puppet account lol. I think that violates the forum’s terms and conditions. I forgive, that does not mean I trust, especially when the person keeps doing the same things and keeps proving underhanded.
I thought you were joining Renautus’ bashing on me when she tried to frame me as a right wing “religious nutcase” climate change denier, partially because in response to Renautus’ jab at me you said;
But thanks for clarifying. I was wrong about you, Smallioz.
Are you suggesting I created a sock puppet as myself to troll you instead of just accepting that this place is not an echo chamber of people who support your views?
I do absolutely stand by that statement though Thadeus.
1000%
If Jesus were to show up the party of god, guns and country would label him a brown tree hugging socialist that needs to shut up and be thankful they are in America
Don’t spit in my ear and tell me it’s raining. If you’re a different Renautus, you wouldn’t have responded to my remark about the so-called other Renautus as if it was directed at you. I landed center-right, more middle than center, and more conservative than progressive. And don’t try to gaslight me by immediately replying with the other Renautus account now that I’m on to you.
Thanks for proving my point lol. How many people here have alternate accounts? I thought that violated the forums’ Code of Conduct. Or is there something else at work here.
You may be right. I also know what many progressives think of Jesus given they treat we who seek to follow in His footsteps as one of the greatest evils to walk the world/zealots/brainwashed/grifters… and do/would label Him an outdated, “x” apologist, science-denying, homophobic, misogynistic fascist who needs to shut up and get on “the right side of history”.
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.” John 15:18 (NIV)
Is it a sock puppet if it’s a copy of your character on a different server because you are too cheap to pay blizzard $30 for a character transfer when max leveling a toon takes a week?
No it’s just an RP alt with the same name and class as my main, you know it’s me
Your attempt to troll or gaslight me has earned you a spot on my ignore list, Micah. But I’ll make it shorter since you tend to be less bad than Renautus.
Fascism and Marxism are both built on useful idiots. There have been left wing and right wing counter protestors during the U.S’ culture war.
The difference is the left wing gets far more support from the mainstream media and use more emotional arguments or hiding behind good causes as wolves in sheep’s clothing than the right wing, who tend to be more direct and focus on fewer causes.
For example, they don’t practice the left wing’s mental gymnastics of claiming to support both LBGT and Islam despite the two being diametrically opposed as Islam is the religion most opposed to LBGT in the entire world - eg; every nation where homosexuality is currently a capital crime is an Islamic one (here’s hoping no-one tries a whataboutism response on me). Interestingly, with the New Testament, we Christians are not required to criminalize or legally punish homosexuality even though some have done so despite this.
Liberalism is a center right ideology. Corporate passive progressivism is what sells because most Americans are vaguely progressive. And then there’s the counter programing at Fox news selling the alternative. Ive no earthly idea how the most watched corporate media Goliath is considered not main stream.
Leftism doesn’t get any tangible support from corporations for obvious reasons. Nor from the DNC established. They bent over backwards to crush Sanders campaign and he’s center left in most sane countries.
I’m not the only one who noted your comments were steeped in climate change denial. Skepticism on human impact is climate change denial. Scienists have proved that the depletion of our ozone layer is in part due to industralization and overpopulation. But yet you seem to single me out as a ring leader. You are a religious nutcase because you reject the validity of all other religous dogmas but your own. You have extreeme right wing, anti-left opinions and most people here are lefists. It’s not a conspiracy why you are not liked here.
To name some of the media giants, Fox is right wing, CNN and MSNBC are left wing. Leftist values are supported by many companies, one of the biggest current examples is Disney.
The company that uses classist pricing strategy to make it’s parks only affordable to rich white families. The same leftist Disney with a long racist history of mickey mouse being a blackface minstrel the same lefist Disney that donated to Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign… that Disney?
Or maybe you just think Disney is progressive because they have 3 PoC Disney Princesses out 10 and they just cancelled a show with a LGBT kiss in it.
I never said Marxist Leninist. Apart from you being snide, I think you’re trying to make strawman of my statement.
It’s difficult to quantify media bias as the media itself is a complex network of many people with different values, but there are figures to help determine this.
For example, members of the entertainment industry and print media donate almost exclusively to left-leaning candidates. During the 2016 media campaign, 96% of all money donated to candidates by journalists went to Hilary, and in 2012 they all made larger donations to Obama than Rommey.
And to cite Disney, we need only look at their treatment of actors Gina Carano, James Woods and (given the latest Disney movie “Lightyear”) Tim Allen, who all have political views that vary but aren’t left wing.
Bruh. They donate to the DNC because they are a center right institute. They get just as many tax cuts with them as they do with the GOP.
The only really fundamental difference is the DNC is vaguely progressive. Not in any meaningful way theyll name a street BLM while doing nothing to actually address police reform. So why wouldnt they support the DNC?
Nothing fundamentally changes for your buisness and you don’t risk a candidate you donated to going on an unhinged rant about how gay marriage causes natural disasters or whatever.
There is no substantive Left wing in America. Full stop.
