quote Originally posted by theBDub: One year anniversary, for me. This forum is a great example of how social media echo chambers push people deeper and radicalize them. Sometimes I come here to see how deep they’ve gotten.

In one thread you're ignorantly squealing about "Trump fascism" now you're over here mewling about people being "radicalized".

Anyone that's read your dopey posts in the 2022 MIDTERM thread knows that, just like you don't know a fascist from a Fig Newton, you wouldn't know a radical from a radish.


You're a guy that calls himself a "libertarian" while endlessly posting woke, Leftist, pro social justice crap.

You're like a fool that's telling us all how he's a such devout, fundamentalist, Muslim while he's sitting in a gay bar, eating a pulled pork and bacon sandwich and chugging a pint of whiskey.

I'll repeat it: "You are one of the people that David Dunning and Justin Kruger point at and say: "See, We told you so!"

I don't think you realize how completely you keep beclowning yourself but that's forever been the nature of youthful arrogance and ignorance.

In terms of style points "ray b" is way ahead of "randye".

"ray b" wins hands down on freshness and originality.

"randye" is as stale as a loaf of Wonder Bread that's been left unwrapped on a kitchen counter for the last 10 years.

"randye" is a campaign bumper sticker. Once you've seen it, it never changes.

Who knew that there's a "style points contest", but if there is, have you looked at your ratings bar lately?

How many "style points" did you get for your obvious LYING multiple times in this thread?

How many "style points" did you get for suggesting and calling members of this forum "Nazis"?

How many "style points" did you get for posting my photo in this thread and trying to goad someone to MAKE A FALSE REPORT TO THE FBI?


You keep right on racking up those "style points"....

How many "style points" do you think you have left?

quote Originally posted by rinselberg: I think it's worth remarking that what had been kind of a moribund forum thread has just had such a growth spurt. "ray b" a man suddenly on fire. "Raydar." "jdv." "theBDub." "Fats." "Hudini" here. It's like this thread has suddenly morphed into Grand Central Station. I'm a little surprised that "Rickady88GT" hasn't checked in. Or "williegoat" although I think he's a bit weary of "Politics" right now.

Wow... I feel honored. Actually called me out, by name.
I stand by my most recent comment. To reiterate, if the Brandon campaign had wanted the redirect from antifa.com to be gone, it would have been, in fairly short order.
But guess what? It is gone - or at least changed. Now it redirects to https://www.whitehouse.gov/

You can't make this sh!t up.

It's a fact that there is a redirect from antifa(.com) to whitehouse(.gov) . . . I can't argue with that. As Raydar is more IT-savvy than I am.

What does it mean? What is the significance of it? I think having that in Raydar's own words could start an interesting subtext to this "Capitol protest" thread.

Maybe a new forum topic (thread) would be justified.

antifa led the protests and trespassers into the Capital dressed as Trump supporters and now are openly mocking the joe "Brandon" biden administration with this link.
They are probably being paid to keep their mouth shut till they get out.

I am not weary of politics, but there is very little political discussion going on here. There are only two guys engaging in meaningful debate.

There are, however, plenty of children shouting, "My dad can beat up your dad!". I am not interested.

Meh... Have at it. (But those were not necessarily my words, anyway. Nothing special. It is what it is. Not rocket science. Lots of people more web-savvy than myself.)
Personally, I'm kind of bored with the whole cluster-fest.
Nobody's mind is going to be changed, and all it does is bait the real batshit crazies out of the woodwork.

You already attempted to start another parallel thread to this one and Cliff Pennock shut you down.

We all saw it.

Now you're trying to goad someone else into doing it again.

Yup.

I think that the situation in the Capitol was terrible, but much worse is happening now. The events of the past year are undermining our country from the inside. We need to unite and not argue with each other.

For sure. But people would have to tune out the talking heads of the news and most politicians, and even agenda driven entertainment, and think for themselves to do that.
