This is part of the reason I can no longer call myself a right-winger. On much of the right, there's a kneejerk reaction to deny or minimize the experiences of people who point out the dark sides of our culture. The MeToo movement, black lives matter, or whoever. They are all pointing to aspects of our culture that need to be looked at, understood, and reformed.

The right is totally cool with hearing the cultural complaints from uneducated whitey in Michigan or Pennsylvania... not so much for others.


I recall a decade ago when ice mage would deny duffmans assertions of different experiences for negroes. you've changed considerably in a decade 🤔

Conservatives will in the next several decades have to make some pretty serious advancements in their principles in order to win over future generations. The only constant in life and politics is change. Those who wish to conserve too strongly will ultimately fade out.


You seem to operate under the premise that societal change will always only occur in a liberal/progressive direction.

I have changed, but also I don't troll anymore. My arguments here in the past might not have been entirely what I thought, but today what I say is basically what I believe.

Still not woke enough to not laugh at the bold though.

It is the overarching trajectory this country has been on since its very inception.

im all for hearing legitimate complaints and addressing them. some guy freaking out that ZOMG DA COPS IS COMING FOR ME!!! upon hearing that others have had such isssues even though he himself has never had any problem or indication that it would be a problem is not a legitimate complaint. its a knee-jerk reaction to a boogeyman narrative that barely exists in reality.

You need to come to terms with the fact that you are left-wing.

Perhaps the black and minority you referenced are not afraid, but have made a smart decision given the circumstances and proximity to stay out of the interactions between police and the groups with agenda. It's a sensible choice. Situational awareness.

Near these zones this summer I've seen, blacked out police vans violating first and fourth amendment rights of citizens. Militias? dropping off stashes of bricks and gas. A likely insider job smashing Auto zone to incite unrest then justify a response. A uhaul giving out shields. Gangs/criminals running rampant at times or in places while Police derelict their duty. Truck vs looters.. truck won. Very wild west.

Hoping in MN our state and local representatives can crack down more on these militias and special interest groups seeding unrest in our cities at the expense of our minority brothers and sisters. And yes, same goes for those actors using BLM as a guise to carryout nefarious agenda.
