It is ironic that those who scream snowflake at people who speak up against racism or injustice are they themselves the one who live in fear of minorities and immigrants.

It is ironic that those same scared people who decry “cancel culture”, because the Dixie chicks change their name or Washington dropped the derogatory “redskin” moniker, are the ones trying to put Goodyear out of business, stopped shopping at Dick’s sporting goods, smashed their yeti coolers, refused to buy Taylor Swift CD’s, burned their Nike’s, boycotted the NFL and drummed out a player for raising the issue at hand. Why, even last night during the RNC, they pulled a speech from a Q supporter. (Which I agree they were right to do but daaaaaamn, the irony).

It is ironic that the same weak minded folks call anyone using their first amendment rights to protest any injustice, a fascist. All while supporting forcible suppression of that opposition and strong regimentation of society. Which if you haven’t guessed, is the very definition of fascism.

It’s quite ironic that those same scared, weak minded people championing the use of fascist force, hold up the constitution and proclaim it to be a perfect document which disproves racism while apparently not realizing it has been amended 27 times. Not grasping the fact that the purpose of the United States is to constantly strive to be a, “more perfect Union”, not rest on our laurels from 1789 and in order to do so, must accept change.

Most ironic of all, the ones promoting a petition to “depoliticize” AS, are using right leaning talking points filled with straw man arguments and tag lines championed by threatening conspiracy theorists with ties to the extreme right.

So in short, I agree, “oh, the irony”.

Nice projection but Boycotting something you disagree with not the same as cancel culture. If you bothered to inform yourself on what it actually is you would see that.

There is nothing factual in that petition. One of their opening premises about BLM "funding the Democratic Party" is a patent falsehood that was spread by Infowars and Candace Owens. The rest of the petition is nothing but fear mongering editorial, just a regurgitation of Fox News bogeymen of the week.

Oh no, the people that have spent my whole career talking politics at me just to hear themselves, with no interest in my opinion or even the self-awareness to acknowledge that I even might have one, are uncomfortable now? I think I'll reserve my sympathy for people with real problems.

What injustice? All I see are ignorant people spouting off debunked talking points and rioting. Given the almost 90 days of rioting and destruction I the anger against these "peaceful protesters" justified.

No I think the weak minded people are still the ones thinking that rioting and destroying property is "protesting injustice".

Shooting unarmed Black men and women, while being filmed, is a debunked talking point? Yeah, 90 days of protesting and it’s still happening as recent as last Sunday. Shameful

Projection? Oh I see, when liberals boycott something they don’t agree with it’s, “cancel culture”. When conservatives do it, it good ol’ fashioned, first amendment, boycotting and protesting. Nothing ironic about that. Funny, because with reference to the Goodyear, “boycott”, I believe trump said something along the lines of, “two can play the same game.” Do you know what inference is Aiken? He’s inferring that the “boycott” IS in fact, practicing, “cancel culture”. Something the right claims to be staunchly against. Strong counter point on, “irony” though....

Go ahead and look up the definition of Fascism. Then watch the videos of unidentified “police”, attacking and gassing a bunch of moms wearing bike helmets. Your, “I’m made of rubber and your made of glue”, defense doesn’t pan out here.

You’re justifying the use of a politically biased petition because it’s filled with politically biased “facts” to promote the “depoliticization” of AS? All under the guise of explaining irony???

Thanks for the laugh!!

"90 days of protesting", they are riots and you're right it is shameful.

Lefties don't boycott, it wouldn't be a problem if it was. It's the fact they go to people houses to assault them, have them removed from jobs, doxxed them ect. That is the difference and again you pivot to "but trump said". The irony is that you claim everyone against blm is "fragile" or something when the entire movement and the clowns who support it lose their sensibilities anytime someone doesn't tow their party line. It's what so comical about your projections.


I see police defending themselves in portland against a bunch of violent thugs. People you call "protesters" over and over again. The response by the police is justified and I hope we see more of it considering people are tired of the "peaceful" riots.
It's not surprising you buy into the "moms" nonsense given you believe all the nonsense that BLM spouts. You seem resistant to inform yourself on the fact and just gobble up the talking points as gospel.

Again, thanks for the laughs! It’s much appreciated. In these tumultuous times, I’ll take ‘em any way I can get ‘em.
