“Where’s the traitors?” “Bring them out!” “Get these fucking cocksucking Commies out!”
“We can take you out!”
“a tidal wave of white identity is coming!”
“If God were here, He would smite these motherfuckers.”
“I am willing to give my life for this fight.”
“Fuck these DC Police. Fuck those cock suckers up. Beat them down. You dont get to return to your families.”
“We need to come back with guns. One time with guns, and then we’ll never have to do this again.”
“You are cattle today.”
“Start makin’ a list! Put all those names down, and we start huntin’ them down, one by one!”
“Traitors to the guillotine!”
“They won’t be able to walk down the streets!”
“We are at war. . . . Mobilize in your own cities, your own counties. Storm your own capitol buildings. And take down every one of these corrupt motherfuckers.”

Honestly I call it too familiar language and now we have a perfect opportunity to put it to an end forever.
It is completely intolerable and everyone who does it should pay a high price for it.

That's an extremely good perspective to have.
This is all starting to get weird.
A lot of people shared around information about the Guantanamo Bay torture stuff when it was going around. Which, fair enough. But if, right after the ISIS beheading of Alan Henning, your response is to bring up the Guantanamo Bay incidents and that's all you wanted to talk about, my response to that is going to be very different.
What is just so fucking important about proving that the other side is worse? What kind of medal do you get with that, how is that better than taking melatonin?

As opposed to the game of "t3h liberalllls are wooorse!" because that fucking helps everything. At the very least it makes me feel better about my own side and that's what's important. Circle those wagons.
Let's count all the riots in the last 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 years - take your pick.
Then let's assign blame to either left or right.
The right has no chance.
Without actually counting, I'd say the ratio is over 50-1, maybe as much as 200-1, just a guess.
The left is way worse.
And you know it.
This exercise would be like comparing the regular flu to the wu-flu.

Right. So the argument is that the “right” has riot and insurrection credits to cash in.

This isn’t about trying to make one side come off better or worse. This is just pointing out the hypocrisy regarding views of the two two transitions, the threat of violence this week is not unprecedented if we see violence on Wednesday it won’t be something brand new, but a result of seeds sewn 4 years ago.
-
The number one difference between the right wing criminals from January 6th and the left wing criminals from 17, and earlier this year? The right wing asshats partially succeeded and the left wing asshats didn’t. The left shouldn’t be let off just because they failed. There is no ethical or moral superiority for failure. Their intentions were remarkably similar.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

To me it's weird when unprecedented events like this happen (that is, a violent invasion of the Capitol that delays an electoral process) and the most common topic of conversation isn't "this kind of violence needs to stop everywhere" but "count the hypocrisies."
I don't understand why the latter message is that much more important.
Please love yourself.

@aqua-letifer One partial reason is because not sufficiently calling out or holding to account leftist riots contributed to the bullshit but we saw January 6th.
It’s helped established the rules of the game so to speak. “Hey, as long as we’re in a big enough crowd, we can do what the fuck ever!”
If this is what it takes for all violent protests to get dealt with correctly...fine.
But I really don’t appreciate having the world*at large nodding in agreement that the one fucking time a bunch of conservatives go ape shit represents us as a whole...While the dozens of such incidents from protesters on the left don’t.
*(Not you specifically...I know you’re brighter than that)

I’m not really that concerned about the bumbling insurrectionists or the inept CHAZ zone occupiers. (Though that was messed up)
They should both have the book thrown at them.
I was disgusted by the elected local officials that supported CHAZ. (There’s some real idiots here in Seattle)
I’m disgusted by the national elected officials that give cover to this “stop the steal” bullshit.

Pretty much most of us on the conservative side immediately condemned ALL political violence, only to be told repeatedly over the last 10 days that you cannot compare the two.

Well for me, it was a conservative here who told me that.
And that's correct. Only at the most basic level can you even compare the two. But I don't see how that's code for "liberal extremist violence is okay."

No, the argument is that the AL argument is very much wrong.
