(25,699 posts)because yeah, I see this same shit every time, always from the same crowd of people, always with the same sad, saggy arguments.
"This is just like X!"
No, it's not.
"You're making excuses!"
No, you just wish i were becuase it's convenient for your non-argument.
"You hate America!"
is that you, mr. cheney?
"These people are subhuman barbarians who hate everythign and eat babies while raping kittens hargblargargl!"
No, they're not. At worst, they're short-sighted morons with impulse control problems. Dehumanization doesn't help anything.
"They want to go back to the 7th century!"
How the fuck would they tweet their plans to go get their asses blown away, then? no, Daesh and its myopic buddies has no desire to go to the 7th century. They want a 21st-century variety of hellhole, with all the perks of modern gadgets and doodads.
"I care deeply about the first amendment!"
You only say as much when you're trying to defend hate speech though. It's a little weird.
"If you disagree with me then you are supporting the terrorists!"
Mr. Bush? Does Cheney know you're on the internet past your bedtime? naughty!
So on and so forth. It's rote, it's predictable, and after well over a decade of the same old shit fro mthe smae old people with the smae old hatreds, I'm just a little tired of it, and not looking forward to seeing DU cramemd full of it.
