am i surprised to see you making excuses for racist ideologies? hardly. but holy shit, you couldn't look any dumber doing so if you tried...

*wooooosh*

The point of the pic is that there must be something going horribly wrong when anti-racist activists end up sounding like the KKK.

is that ego protection or do you really not get it? my entire post explains in detail what you now pretend i didn't get, and specifically addresses what your silly little meme suggests.
that's why i identified it as making excuses for racist ideologies (hardly a new angle for you ofc), because in reality they really DON'T sound similar - only when you leave out crucial and defining aspects of their message (a means by which you can make anyone sound like anything) they do. which is my point, genius.

i mean, seriously, trump talks about confederate statues, and the left does - there must be something 'horribly wrong' then if they 'end up sounding alike', huh? #alternativelogic

Only a stupid person sees that though. That isn't the conversation at all.

typical pard pics thread, simple meme points out a funny similarity that people might not have considered, and you get pushback that required paragraphs of context to justify. paragraphs of context 50x longer than the meme itself lol. and what is the pushback? "well, these two groups are different tho". yeah, no shit, that's the point of the meme lol.

The left: "these statues are symbols of racism and white supremacy, therefore they should be teared down"
Trump: "these statues are symbols of our country's history, which - good or bad - is worth being remembered, therefore they should stay"

fender: yeah, this is a good example of "left and right sounding alike".

wait, are you trying to make my point here, or did you do it inadvertently because you didn't get it. this is EXACTLY why i said your little meme was so stupid, because it left out the defining part of the messaging and only pretended two sides talking about the same issue makes them sound alike. thanks... i guess... lol

wrong, the 'meme' suggests (and black xis person explicitly stated that as well) that 'both sides sound the same'. my point is they really don't - only if you try to make them by leaving out the core of their message. that's why it's both incredibly dumb to say so, as well as trying to downplay the white supremacist rhetoric, which is pretty much expected from trump cultists ofc.

wtf lol...

The meme did not "pretend two sides talking about the same issue makes them sound alike". The point of the meme is that both sides were talking about the same issue using the same words and arguments and emphasis (but ofc coming from diametrically opposed motivations to arrive at this very similar language).

he actually made it happen. the madman... what a legend!
