The Seriously? Theatre of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts V

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I mean, when I get drunk, I usually insult specific individuals (I think?). This is nasty.

[DC Al Fine]

Is IndyTexas drunk?

Probably, but that's not an excuse. Most of us can have a few without ranting about "TEH JOOS".

[Antonio the Sixth]

This is beyond terrible and should be ban-worthy.

Hopefully we will not have redux. We shall see.

DavidB can explicitly condone terrorism yet IndyTexas saying mean things (in an obviously unserious manner) about teh joos is "banworthy"? Interesting.

You really don't get the distinction? One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. It gets dicier when in the present I must admit, but when going back in history, I don't see a problem when it comes to violating the rules. It may be a horrible opinion, but not all horrible opinions are infractable.

One person's words seem to encourage violent acts to forward political goals, another's words hurt feelings. Obviously I think that you know which one I think is more deserving of punishment - if we are to go that route with moderation anyway.

If someone advocated going forward terrorism in a specific context, that would be something to ponder carefully. If it actually was intended to incite, as in urging forumites to become suicide bombers, then we are into the category of shouting fire in a crowded theatre situation, and that would be infractible, and in my example, bannable. This should not be that hard. As always, it is a judgment call, and there are close cases, and the specific facts in any given situation become important.

There are many others in that thread, such as CrabCake and MalaspinaGold, who arrive at the conclusion that certain historical terrorist acts, perpetrated under extreme circumstances, could be considered moral. Do you want to ban these people too, or do you only have a problem with people who think this certain terrorist act in the past perpetrated by Jews could be considered legitimate?

Besides, I wonder if you would consider it "Atlas acceptable" if non-Jews were called "ape-people"... The problem is clearly not that it "hurts people's feelings", but that it is outright racist. Also, lmao @ that comment being "obviously unserious".

It really does not matter whether the comment was intended to be serious or not. Making that kind of comment is never deemed funny in the Cave. We just don't have much of a sense of humor I guess.

I fail to see how his blatant racism was "obviously unserious". I mean, aren't jokes supposed to be funny?

[Lief 🗽]

More mod fascism from Torie and his ilk. No wonder people are fleeing Old Atlas by the hundreds!

[YaBoyNY]

the JIDF swarmed IndyTexas almost immediately

poor guy never had a chance

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Don't be weird. There was nothing obviously ironic about the comments and he has expressed similar views about Mizrahi Jews (and other - non Jewish - Middle Eastern ethnicities that he doesn't like much) before.

You are ridiculous.

[H. Ross Peron]

I hate Family Guy, so no.  And besides, I'm reserving judgment until Coz's trial ends.  He's is presumed innocent until proven guilty, after all.

Truly the GOP is a friend of the Negro race from the attacks of the Dixiecrat Feminazis.

[Ban my account ffs!]

I'm going to bet over 80% of drug dealers in Maine are white.

They more than likely are, but there are a lot of drug dealers that probably come out of state, I don't really care if there white or black it doesn't matter they are drug dealers.

If you were a successful drug dealer in New York or Connecticut, why would you go out of your way to reach a place with a smaller, more rural population with fewer customers and zero personal connections?  That literally makes no sense whatsoever.  I'll give you a hint: Maine's drug dealers live in Maine.

probably a lot from NH too.

A lot of them might be coming from Vermont too. Those Green Mountain State niggas are a shifty lot.

A lot of drug dealers in my neck of the woods (northern Minnesota) are Native Americans or non-Natives that have connections to Minneapolis or Chicago.

The general drug flow comes through Chicago, then Minneapolis, then to northern MN.  But recently heroin has begun flowing directly from Mexico onto reservations in northern MN and then out from there.

Where have I expressed an "extreme anti-gun view"?  I have no problem with guns --- how am I supposed to overthrow Sanders and the rest of the American plutocrats without them? 

What I oppose is this nutter's reckless position, which does nothing but put the American people in danger.

Independent lefties vote D, independent righties vote R. Which should we fear more, the Sandernista gulags or the TRUMP concentration camps?

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Minorities won't vote for the GOP due to identity politics stoked by Democrats.  That's really the main thing

No, it's because the Republican base is racist. And before you say anything else, Donald Trump.

What's absurd about this?  It's more true than most of us would like to think.

[Hifly]

Once more the Iranian people will have their rightful place in the international community.

Sorry DavidB and Ray Goldfield; your ideology has lost.

Don't worry, I'm sure Israel will be taking care of this mess before the missiles reach you.

On the verge of outright racism.

The Trump movement is a joke that will be rightfully squashed this year anyways when he is utterly and humility defeated

Saving this quote for when TRUMP puts you on a boat back to the Middle East.
