Its ok when we (on the left) do this but you are monsters
This is related to Doug.G's Wall thread - however again I promised to no longer hijack his thread, and again it was not intentional - so I am just going to hijack my own thread again. It still relates to the Wall thread though - because as I stated everything that Trump is doing now, is just the foundations from Bush and Obama - and as I have been spouting before - where was all the outrage earlier? Whether it was the Wall on our border, or the anti Muslim policies of Obama and Clinton - I did not see a whole lot of protests as I do now.
I have been really trying to fight the urge of posting this video from this Stefan Molyneux character, mainly of his, 'eccentricities' to put it nicely - but he makes the same point - and I still do not understand the sudden shock about Trump - Obama continued Bush's war, and destablisation of other countries, increased surveillance - also a cause for many deaths (including Muslims) in the Mid-East - yet again those on the left - haven't really heard from them, until now.
It is also sad and I am to acknowledge it - that there is such a left vs right - but again with regards also to my thread here - this is just a reaction of the past policies on both sides, however on the left so much more only because of also the cherry on top of the cherry sundae called PC. Thats my opinion anyways.

This is why we got Trump, because of the far left - we are now going far right - its their fault.

As an aside, what "far left"? The US has no "far left," except in the eyes (and propaganda) of the far right.
I disagree - AFAIC the far left are the pretty much the ones labeled by the right - as the snowflakes, the insufferable SJWs - well this is where the right is correct sorry to say. I think I have already posted enough about them - but just one more perhaps - but I feel this comparison is justified - the ones who are on campuses demanded 'safe spaces' - drown out the debate or shut it down entirely with their own whiney tactics - and the reverse racism/sexism - if you are a white male - thats it, anything you say is invalid, because you're white, 'check you're privilege' - whatever the fsck that is supposed to mean.... I didn't wake up suddenly and decide to listen to Milo - I only heard of them through these twerps anyways, and well now I happen to agree with SOME of the things he says, I guess then I am now far right though? The last Milo video I posted go to 20min and just watch that at least, he has listed valid points.
Then all this talk about 'micro-aggressions' trigger warnings ......Seriously, W----T----F? The intolerant 'tolerant' - .... But, again, I don't even need to watch or listen to any of Milo's lectures, nor did I become some kind of 'right-wing nut' -- You see even those on the left calling this kind of bullshit out for what it is... Bill Maher anyone?
If you can make it all the way to the video above, good on you because I didn't even make it half way......... I am really glad I am not in college anymore, because ....just wow...... EVERYTHING is now offensive - well at this point, if I have to worry about walking on nanometer eggshells , fsck it.... And again, what is this bs about 'safe spaces' - I thought going to universities are supposed to challenge and get you ready for the real world - the fsck is safe spaces going to help you in the REAL world!?
I'm sure I must have triggered SOMEONE by now ......Good, grow some thicker skin.
I blame these SJWs for Trump. Thanks!
*SJW = Social Justice Warrior , no , I didn't make any of this up, THATs what they refer themselves as....
-edit
Also, about the pic - http://jobsanger.blogspot.com/2017/0...and-right.html - I view it different - the left is more like - ME ME ME, I'M OFFENDED, GIVE ME MY SAFE SPACE. CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE....etc. Sorry but that is what they have de-evolved to.
I like Milo now anyways - he's offensive for the correct reasons

Today's USA Democratic Party makes Nelson Rockerfeller look like Emma Goldman.

Sorry, but he has valid points.... So now I am actually curious about his lectures. I would like to thank the SJWs for the protests, because I now found another rather hilarious person to watch

Reason: Just in case the last post may have been missed , the only reason I made this edit.
Well I guess we really are living in a topsy-turvy world are we not? A gay conservative (Milo) makes more sense now ...And then I also stumble upon this:
OK ok ok - enough of that, but I have something else I stumbled upon - what should the democrats do, because lets be honest they REALLY need to clean house -
[screencast]bKbQafBuCBc[/screencast]
He is correct - and I will be checking out Kyle's video (its rather lengthy actually) - and I hope Sargon's advice is taken, otherwise - another 4 years of Trump. Though I don't really care for the name though - 'Justice Democrats' - a bit cheesy really.
If the democrats want to be taken seriously again, they really need to not only get rid of the corporate goons, but those intolerable SJWs - again at the moment - I can't help but find the republican ones the sane ones here, sorry.
Howzabout we stop talking about each other as "Republicans" or "Democrats," and start using the word, "American?"
"A house divided against itself cannot stand ..."
Fair enough, but until the dems. and their diehard supporters accept the reality that they are in - it is not going to matter. Seems to me they are the ones being more divisive than Trump. *shrug*
So, lets go back to Europe - I had mentioned in another thread that Hungary refuses to have anything to do with Soros - and I also did not take into account Hungary - it is possible someone from the right might be in power there too - which is another state to add that can potentially break away. I found this rather informative:
I did not create the title, so apologies if it sounds very conspiratorial - then again you need only look at Soros' past activities to not have a very good impression of him anyways.

A minor point: everything is not offensive these days. Antisemitism is not offensive at all to most of these people. On the contrary, they practise it all the time. And homophobia and misogyny only seem to be offensive when practised by non-muslims. That kind of hypocrisy is why I have given up on the left, despite being raised in that tradition.

No, you can't point your fingers "across the aisle" and say, "it's 'their' fault." There are "diehard supporters" everywhere, and the Internet gives all of them a Bully Pulpit.

No it is more than that - you have to think a certain way - and we probably wouldn't be able to talk about any of this on a campus - any sort of debate and the sphincters of the PC police go into overdrive - you only have to look at lectures from Milo at times (or just google the incident with Milo at DePaul Uni. in Chicago) - a complete disgrace - that is what has had me more disgusted , which again made me want to actually hear what this Yiannopoulos has to say - he seemed to be vilified as this extreme right wing sort - and some how nobody should listen to him (hence he is always protested on campuses) - but I haven't seen anything to warrant a protest - but more in an exercise in trying to silence someone - and at times it was unfortunately successful - 1st Amendment practically disregarded because 'Milo is too mean' apparently....

In a way I can - and yes I will also admit that I am fixating a bit on said subject - but I do feel that it was probably one of the most contributing factors.

Oh, to further my point about this - this person is correct:
