How do the faggots that make these videos not feel fucking stupid?

Imagine sitting alone in your car, hitting record on your phone, and filming yourself having a melt down. How the fuck do you take yourself seriously?

Like any time I have filmed myself or taken a picture of myself for whatever reason, I feel like a god damn weirdo.

Its so fucking cringe.
 
Why does openly embracing criminality seem to be a central tenet of progressivism? You come here illegally, you get removed. A—>B. I cannot fucking believe we have half the country believing enforcing laws is mean and you need to have a heckin empathy and let people do anything they want all the time. I’m so hung up on this this morning, I literally can’t fathom it. It only fuels my schizo theory that city-dwellers’ heads are getting too full of plastic to grasp cause and effect.
Leftism views all things through an oppressor vs oppressed historiography.

Blacks - oppressed; Whites - oppressor
Labor - oppressed; Capitalist - oppressor
Women - oppressed; Men - oppressor
Homosexuals - oppressed; Heterosexuals - oppressor
Criminals - oppressed; Justice - oppressor

Ayn Rand, despite the many disagreements I have with her body of work, correctly labeled communism a criminal ideology.
 
I love how this thread is purest example of "leftist ideas cannot exist or expand in a non-censored space". Few poor lefties trying their best and failing miserably. I would feel bad for you if you were human, but as it stands, you deserve few grams of lead to the temple.
There is a reason "the left" has to censor so intensely to even have a chance.

you need to stop thinking about principles and start thinking about partisanism in order to make sense of it.
"there are no bad tactics, only bad targets" is the code they live by. if you go against white people and against the right wing, then anything you do is righteous and justified and legal. if you go against brown people or against the left wing, then anything you do is bad and wrong and criminal.
that is their worldview. whenever progtards do shit that you find bewildering or nonsensical, look at it through this lense and it will make sense to you.

ri·ot
/ˈrīət/
noun
1. a violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd.

vi·o·lence
/ˈvī(ə)ləns/
noun
1. behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.
What is a women?
What is a riot?

These are some very difficult questions for the left.
 
These retards don't even understand the implications of what they are doing. Illegal immigrants flying flags of their own country while destroying US property and attacking US law enforcement. That is an invasion and not a protest. If J6 people are arrested just for marching into the Capitol building and doing very little damage and no violent actions, then these people should be treated the same. Or they should be put down as insurrectionist with lethal means.
 
These are RIOTERS, not PROTESTORS, and being against enforcing laws that are practically ancient. I think at very least, like absolute minimum, using softpoint 308 rifle rounds, and sniping ANYONE who commits violence would be 100% justified.

Guy starts a fire? throws bricks at cops? beats random people? breaks into places? Kill em, and people will see it.

Third world treatment for 3rd world behavior.
An instinct to violently defend your country is commendable, it's patriotic, it's good.
But it's a terrible policy choice to violently gun down rioters. It really is.
I agree with your impulse, I feel it, but it is not worth accepting as a wise course.

Washington did not have everyone in the Whiskey Rebellion drawn and quartered. HE COULD HAVE but he didn't. Clemency (of a kind) is politically advantageous. Aggression is unreliable in military affairs and in politics. Being aggro and overconfident in his retarded ideas about race doomed Hitler. The Slavs are worse than Germans, but wars aren't fought by average individual outcomes.

I am impatient with and contemptuous of the rioters. But I do not think they're inhuman, I think they are political opponents. They're only as deserving of death as the rest of us. Most of them are citizens, though of questionable loyalty and undesirable heritage. I despise brown people but I also have some conception of what comes after you start the race war, and if you start shooting the Mexis in LA for being Mexican, you're sending that signal to the normies. War is always a stupid gamble and people would not take an escalatory course of state violence lying down, even if it is to enforce the laws. Americans are sensitive to tyranny.
 
Star Wars is the same. Ask people around you how many Star Wars they've seen. Ask the major fans if they've seen every movie. Pressure them a little. You'll be surprised at their answers.
books and movies are two different worlds. They ALL watch the star wars shows, I know this as a fact from personal experience. It takes no effort to watch a movie or a tv show and these people need to consoom. Especially when said tv show just reinforces all of your extremist terrorist tendencies. Expecting these people to read a book is a completely different situation, almost zero of them would ever read a book no matter what it is.
 
I know it was propaganda Disney bought it but I never actually thought of how these movies and shows are affecting these people. I was never a "video games and tv cause violence" kind of guy but knowing the mental conditions these people live in while watching this crap and getting poisoned by Reddit and MSNBC or CNN, I think these new Star Wars movies and shows are actually dangerous to people's mental health
The people getting influenced were already gullible to begin with. It's why the propaganda works. Useful idiots. They don't want to admit Star Wars changed, so they double and triple down.

It’s so basic you’d think even the biggest bleeding heart would understand it has to be done. I cannot fucking believe we have half the country believing enforcing laws is mean and you need to have a heckin empathy and let people do anything they want all the time. I’m so hung up on this this morning, I can’t fathom it. It only fuels my schizo theory that city-dwellers’ heads are getting too full of plastic to grasp cause and effect. Or reality in general.
Because law and order is mean and shit. You can't run on emotions when enforcing the law. Which is a problem for the Left, because that is their entire platform, feelings and shit mang.

I think I remember hearing that one of the top job aspirations these days is "youtuber." There's no real career paths anymore, but there's always celebrity. So they really give it their all. "Maybe this is the one that goes viral and bails me out of needing a real job."
