God, what a mess. This just goes to show how much divided the US is. Just goes to show how important is to have an efficient election, one that is as transparent as possible, to avoid stuff like that.
And I'm not saying this to favor one side or another. Both sides are at fault here. If Trump won, All left centered movements would go on to riots all over the US, as Black Lives Matter already showed they arent afraid to take lives or destroy livelihoods. But this also shows how goddamn stupid right centered groups can also be. For god's sake...
I have been saying this for some time, but I do believe that the US is heading for a big internal conflict. I don't think there will be a civil war( people are too cowards to risk their life nowadays), but something big and divisive is comming, more than what is happening now. |
You're a moron. You used an unprecedented example of a literal coup at Capitol Hill as an opportunity to both-sides an issue where only one side is acting as the transgressor. Again: You're a moron. When I heard this was happening, about the only thing I could get that was positive out of this (and even then very lightly) is that we can finally stop falsely equating Black Lives Matter to MAGAtards. But apparently nothing will stop that comparisons from idiots who don't want to admit that there's a difference between one group who has a noble intention and had fringe actors possibly partake in violence - violence that was probably not even initiated by them and in almost all cases enacted by the police originally, and a group who wants to forcefully carry out a coup because of results they don't like. There's a difference between being the transgressor, and being a victim of initiated conflict. At this point I'm pretty sure a Trumpite could literally shoot Joe Biden in the head and you'd be using it as an opportunity to talk about how some rioter might have hurt someone somewhere at a BLM protest. The police in BLM protests are the instigators, yet here when the most important building in the country gets nearly overthrown they are just complacent. Gee, I wonder what the discrepancy is here, what the difference is between both parties you label as in the wrong. Get over yourself. Cobretti2 said:
This thread has become laughable and never though we could get over eating the virtual popcorn lol. Need something new to eat lol.
Who needs to watch the news when the divide of America is clearly evident in this thread with some of the disrespectful replies to people's posts.
The twitter posts, wow talk about a melodrama. These people need to be dropped of in a 3rd world or communist country and out of their bubble before they used phrases like "coup", "fear" and "safety".
America the greatest country in the world that had democracy and freedom that was the hope and dreams of many people escaping to from the shitholes that they lived in clearly no longer that place it once use to be.
American's need to take their politics less serious, almost feels like a extreme religion the way American's talk about it. Win or Loss yer be angry for a week, move on and live your life and ignore the hot air that comes out of your Government. At the end of the day it really doesn't matter which side is in power if the electoral system you have in place works and is balanced in power, as none will ever role out any extreme policies that will impact your life significantly to a point where yo are much worst off in the fear of being overturned.
I am glad I live in Australia. We may have one of the highest living expenses in the world, but fuck politics in general is an after thought and only ever comes up during an election. After that we move on and live our lives till the next election. |
You're also a moron. Get over yourself. You aren't even from the U.S. but are telling us that we're exaggerating an event as overly-important when the event wouldn't even effect you (at least not immediately). You have people in the government literally acknowledging this as a coup but you think you know better? Do you think countries just become bad because things magically shit the bed? Ignoring things because they don't seem "that bad" is exactly how you make a country unstable. If you want to find a way to sink a democracy fast; all you need is useful idiots who will ignore dangerous radicalism as not a big deal and turn the other way. |
There is something inherently funny by being called a moron by someone who thinks they know better(If you call someone a moron, it surely means you know better, to be able to identify the other person as a moron), when the person suffering the accusation is merely trying to have a healthy discussion of how things got to this point, and how both sides have reacted the way they did, and not even claiming that only one side is in the wrong here.
Ironically, the way you answered is the very reason of why things got to the point they are now(and something I talked about with the other user): There is no discussion. There are no debates. People don't discuss how to improve the situation and how to understand each other better. It's a poop-tossing contest.It feels like rooting for one team or the other in a football match. You can't even acnowledge the mistakes of your preferred side, such as the terrorists acts of Black Lives Matter, and just brushes them under the carpet. Being a victim of inflicted conflict? What kind of excuse is that? So it means that if someone punches me in the face I have the right to shoot them in the face? The idea that the law is for everyone is to make a place that is as fair to everyone as possible. There will always be exceptions that dosen't fit into these laws, but they are also treated differently, and they are few and far betwenn.
Giving such a leeway to a group of terrorists like that, mostly ignoring it's negatives and only focusing on it's positives(if there are any), is as bad as the other group you are refering. You end up being as bad as those people that you think that tried to make a coup. They are a bunch of idiots too, that in their frustration tried to storm that place in some form of protest, and the police responded in an appropriate way.These idiots didn't want to do a coup, they probably just went to vent their frustration in the most retarded way. Hell, as far as I know, those guys were barely armed, if at all. The police even went and killed one of the protestors, and if you wanna know my opinion, that woman probably had it comming, considering the severity of what they did(Not that I want people to die).
But not trying to understand what motivated them to do that, just as not trying to understand what makes Black Lives Matter or Antifa do the horrible things they do, will lead to this again: Protestors killing people on the streets. People defending black people rights killing other black people, idiots storming the Congress over something they think it may or may not have happened. You will bottle up people emotions and frustrations, and that energy just dosen't go away. Eventually the pressure will be too high for them to keep contained, and it will explode. Much, much worse than it did today.
It's not my country, but looking at your profile, it seems that it is yours. So the one that's going to get fucked up when this all goes truly to shit will be you, not me. So start resolving the issues, not brushing them off.
Get Over Yourself.
