On facebook, I'm in a group for people who like 50s/60s era of television, and recently the admin banned someone who was trying to discuss lack of diversity in tv shows of that era and racial politics. People were saying it was unfair, but the admin said this group is for a specific topic. Years back I would've seen that as harsh, but now I'm all for it. If only we done that with our hobbies once the usual suspects infiltrated.
The larger point being is that there is always some idiot who feels the need to bring in politics or some other issue into a completely unrelated hobby, and can't just let people have an escape. Recently I saw that the Twister movie was attacked for not addressing climate change, and I remember that Far Cry game got bad reviews for not addressing white supremacy.
Of course, the usual thing we hear is that "(fill in the blank) has always been political" or "it is too important". One of the reasons I rarely use reddit now is because of what happened during the "summer of love". I collect sports cards (baseball/football/hockey) and on a hockey card subreddit you had people who felt the need to have long posts about covid or vaccine misinformation along with the usual racial reckoning nonsense. Then of course they jumped all over me for asking what that has to do with hockey cards and I was told "some things are too important". I had to completely get off the Dallas Cowboys subreddit because they went off the deep end at that time.
Anyway, the mindset of these people who just can't let people enjoy something or feel that their point of view has to be brought into anything and everything even if it is some babies playing with blocks will never cease to annoy me.
They want to kill you and rape your family and they think it's funny. Of course they also want to destroy every single piece of culture.
We live amongst Marauder zombies who are simply waiting to be told to start murdering us
This is some paranoid ish
It's probably not too far from the truth though. Look at all the people who were aggressively advocating for completely destroying the life of everyone who didn't take a covid vaccine.
They wanted you fired, cut off from healthcare, and basically ostracized from society. All neatly deconflicted with democracy and freedom in their mind because they weren't outright physically harming you. Using all the levers of government power to reduce you to a destitute wreck was A-OK in their book.
And to counter that group, how many said "I took the vaccine but I'm not okay with destroying the lives of people who didn't, because that doesn't fit the values of a free society"? Almost none, those that weren't trying to destroy you were silently sitting on the sidelines just watching it happen.
It is.
This is even more dramatic than the previous comment.
Who is "they" here, btw? OP is talking about people who think that TV filled with only white men is problematic, seemingly probably just leftist normies, and you're trying to tell me that these same people want you and your family killed and raped and they think it's funny?
There's plenty of compilation videos of prominent democratic pundits saying people who don't get the shot should lose their jobs or not be admitted into hospitals. You're either being deliberately obtuse or you lived under a rock from 2020 to 2023.
U/Dialectic's point is that the same people pitching a fit that there aren't enough blacks in a 1950s TV show also oppose pretty much everything the people here stand for, and I agree with him.
I post in firearms forums on Reddit, and every once in awhile we'll get someone who drops in that has never contributed before and throws out a bunch of contrarian noise. I check their post history, and they always have the standard prepackaged Democrat platform beliefs: guns are bad, Trump is Hitler, covid was worse than the plague in the Middle Ages, whites oppress minorities in everything they do, etc.
Every. Single. Time.
And these people are a threat, because even if they have relatively "moderate" views for the left, they won't lift a finger to stop the extremists.
These were the ones cheering on Antifa's lootings, as well as praising men of the past like that fucker Sherman, so no, he's not off.
Have you missed the last week and a half of Democrats celebrating the almost-murder of Trump, and the definitely-murder of that firefighter who caught the bullet instead? It's been nearly 8 years of increasingly violent rhetoric, but it's come to a fever pitch recently. You cannot call that "paranoid."
Must have missed people celebrating the death of the firefighter...any links to that?
Here is a segment from the Lotus Eaters on streamer Destiny celebrating it, and his ultimate removal from places like Kik and twitter. He's been a violent anti-conservative for years, but he's so comfortable talking like he does that he crossed a line this time.
You can scan reddit or twitter yourself to see tons more. They haven't really been hidden at all.
It's ok, we're on the internet. You can swear here. No need to be a timid faggot.
Thanks cunt
