    How is peacefully protesting taking the law into your own hands?

    Let me guess "We agree to disagree and any further comment will be reported to the mods as a personal attack..."

    Right?

    The left most resembles nazi ideology. Those comparing people they dislike to nazis mean they dont like nazis.

    It was absolutely acceptable, slavery was once acceptable, segregation was once acceptable, blood letting was once acceptable.

    I don’t think you understand the meaning of the word hypocrisy if you believe saying something is unacceptable today because it was acceptable 100 years ago. It was acceptable in the time / location / and period.

    This isn’t a difficult concept to understand and seeing that you are dodging my questions I will assume it is political posturing and deflection.

    I am not from Canada.
    I was born in the US where I currently reside and have dual citizenship with Scotland.

    What video?

    What am I coming out and saying so that you can laugh at me?

    The video on the post you replied to about "Nazi icons".

    I'm sure they'll still be warm for you even though I've heard they're best served cold...

    It is interesting that you claim that I am "defending Nazi symbols" when I didn't.

    Not very clever at all. In fact, quite the contrary...

    I am not comparing anyone to Nazi’s, I said there was a swastica and a Nazi slogan at the protests and have been met with a full on meltdown.

    Since you just just said “The left most resembles nazi ideology” and “Those comparing people they dislike to nazis mean they dont like nazis” does that mean you like Nazis or dislike them? Your phrasing is unintelligible.

    Seems personal attack are fine and dandy around here.. Hell there is a poster here who acts like a boy with an ego and mockingly says Seig Heil to posters here constantly but you know who would never say that "supports Nazi's"...

    They simply can not stay consistent moment to moment.

    Yes a protester was calling Whitmer a Nazi.... Do you not get that? Or do you think that sign was meant to support Whitmer make up your damn mind.

    Incorrect, there is an infinite amount of nuance in accusing someone of being one and actually supporting it.

    Like I said, it is irrelevant.
    My “mind” has been made up and my statement has not changed.

    If they were comparing governors requesting people stay home to lower viral transmission rates down to an regime that murdered as many people as they could I believe that says something deeply troubling about their ideology. Would you agree?

    Well... the definition kind of disagrees with you.
    But we are onto the deflection stage so I doubt irrelevant things like the meaning of words matter


    peace·ful
    /ˈpēsfəl/

    adjective
    1. 1.
      free from disturbance; tranquil.

    "Requesting"?

    So now the sign you said proved there were Nazi's there is irrelevant?

    Can you tell me why a kayak is fine but a motor boat was not? Are you less likely to get covid-19 in a kayak?

    Can you tell me why buying seeds was a no no but a bottle of Jack Daniels was a ok?

    So it is ok because “liberals” did it? I am no longer understanding the point you are trying to make.

    Is the nazi signs and confederate flags ok or not? Yes or no?

    Yet you are, you are making excuses for it.
    If you believe I have broken forum rules the report button is at the bottom right corner of each of my posts.

    Saying you are defending something is not an insult — saying you are something is.

    Did you not just ask — although slightly unintelligible : “I just want to set the record straight is yelling during a protest make it not peaceful”

    “You know so you can be consistent....”

    And how long does that take? Meanwhile she mandates areas of WalMart be roped off. No motorboats, etc.

    So which is it? Were they a plant or does it just need “nuance”?

    The swastika was obviously displayed to call the Gov the little nazi dictator she is making herself out to be. It said "Heil Whitmer" that should be obvious but just paint them as wayciss, for it.

    And the confederate flags or the Nazi slogans?

    Do you feel it is a good look for the protests to compare governors requesting people stay home to lower viral transmission rates down to a regime that murdered as many people as they could?
