Amen!! As a mod lib, this shit is a no issue. Who gives a flying fuck if two groups of random citizens disagree with each other at a protest? The current antagonistic political climate is the only reason I have to keep reading about this. Both sides have ran with this story; it's so inflated its meaningless. Fuck the Elder, fuck those kids. I hope that's sufficiently neutral XD.
I just cant give a fuck about people getting offended at a protest.about something as divisive a reproductive rights. And I question the judgement of allowing 16 year old kids to even attend some shit like this (this is a Catholic school, damned kids cant even legally fuck yet). Sex education for Catholics is a non starter, but yet we allow the kids to go to something like this..
Let's focus on why we are easing sanctions on Russian oligarchs with proven ties to Russian intelligence. Let's talk about being in the middle of the longest government shutdown in American history. Let's talk about Maduro expelling all US diplomats and closing all embassies in reaction to a tweet. And let's hear Cohens testimony in open Congressional session.
That, my friends, is the hot topic for the week.
Sadly enough, for the right There is no neutral. You're either on their side if you agree with them 100%, or on the ennemy side if you have even a slight difference....
So you're the ennemy because you havent said the kid is a hero. Even though he's clearly an asshole too.
That is funny. "The right" can at least have a discussion including facts, logic, and critical thinking. It seems to me the sole weapon of the left now days is projection. Orwell was right. You are the enemy because you have actively made yourself the enemy, seeking people to victimize while you justify it with endless relativism, equivocation, and Postmodernist "logic".
I don't really see anyone here claiming the kid is a hero. I do however see lots of willfully ignorant people demonizing children who did nothing other than wear a hat that people are conditioned to think it is ok to be irrationally hostile and violent over.
