ah! of course! thank you again for telling me what i think and believe. funny how often you feel you need to do so.

of course i'm being facetious.

why is it that extremists must constantly be telling moderates what they are actually thinking? putting words in their mouths constantly? because otherwise their "logic" doesn't stand up!

please find any posts where i talk about "people of color". it doesn't exist. and yet... you know everything there is to know on the topic of my own thinking! hahahaah!

You're not a moderate. lol

Should we run a quick test and see where you are?

No, both of those statements are accurate as a general statement - as accurate as general statements get any way.

I would still say 'they focus on how other people behave and think rather than how they behave and think' but it's splitting hairs.

In the end they think external forces drive their lives rather than internal forces and because it's almost impossible to control these external forces they are unhappy.  Anytime someone feels out of control they're going to be unhappy

This is just a series of strawmen with no actual evidence to back any of it up.

Incorrect. There are plenty of hitlers they just dont work in such large proportions as he did. 

exactly. and thats why they push closer to the center of the bell curve.

its not about a particular person... but about views held about a certain topic (like antisemitism or whatever), bird populations, electron decay, rainfall... the bell curve is everywhere in nature.

lets! sounds like fun!

how would a "moderate" respond to your article? really interested in your response. you see, its important that the people who are influencing you make it clear that "moderates" don't exist... or that they are in such a minority that they don't matter. you are either with us or against us. you are one of two extremes that you must pick from. its black and white!

Problem is leftists whine about everything. Miserable people can only bring misery.

No, the article asks why leftists are so unhappy and then it states that it's due to their feeling persecuted. So the next obvious question is, WHY do they feel persecuted?

No, the next question is not "why do they feel persecuted", the obvious question is "where is the evidence leftists are unhappy?"

Quote

You, of course, refuse to answer this question, and by your refusal to answer that question, you're telling me that blacks do NOT feel persecuted, even in our legal system. THAT is the only takeaway your response gives. 

No, I think there's reason to believe that Blacks in America in particular feel that there are systems of discrimination in place that limit their opportunities which is 1) not the same as "persecution" and 2) probably true. But, again, that's not connected to the Prager pieces claims about "leftists".

Quote

According to you, Leftists DO NOT feel persecuted. 

Some might. But here's the funny thing: I can tell you for a fact that, based on my brief interactions with the conservatives here, right wingers feel persecuted too. In fact the idea that shadowy forces of wokeness, DEI, academia, the mainstream media, Hollywood, immigrants, etc etc are working to keep the straight white man down is THE central animating force of today's right.

No, pu$$y, that is not what I am saying. Now come back from behind your little safety sofa and face this discussion. 

I used that Pew Research source as an EXAMPLE of why you degenerates think you are being persecuted and you have yet to prove otherwise. 

You are a coward, and yes, you are a pu$$y.

LOL you're a pretty tough keyboard warrior for someone who has the IQ of a diner stove grease trap.

I wouldn't want to address the leftist whining either if I was you but thank God I'm not you.

so we both agree that there is plenty of whining! awesome.

the whining needs to stop as its mostly just cover for failure in logic... and thats the rub here. that everyone seems to profess that they operate on logic when... they don't. and its obvious when they simply don't have answers for pretty important questions.

There's no whining here, comrade, just responses. Responses to left-wing lunacy.

I love it when dumb boomers learn terms like Karen from Facebook or whatever and then throw them around despite not having the faintest understanding of what they mean. You should check into MAID at this point.

The article is accurate. Left-wingers use the idea of persecution to get what they want, and their fingers are ALWAYS pointed at Conservatives, specifically white conservative Christian males. 

Sounds like you're feeling persecuted.

No, you love it when boomers kick your ass up and down these forums. It's part of the masochistic tendencies ingrained in your underdeveloped brains.

Amusingly that's more true of your statement than mine    And it's clear you don't know what a 'strawman' argument means.

Virtually all that is pretty easy to demonstrate but ok - which part specifically did YOU think was actually incorrect?

Here you go, and thank you for your patience.

True or False:

1. The Joe Biden Administration is facilitating illegal immigration in the U.S. 

2. Reproductive Rights is the proper angle to use in the Abortion debate.  

3. Using gender pronouns should be a requirement for everyone. 

4. Systemic racism is a serious problem in the U.S. 

5. Pride Month is a good thing. 

6. CNN is a legitimate source for news. 

7. Michelle Obama would make a better U.S. President than Donald Trump. 

8. LGBTQ does NOT have an agenda and it is NOT a threat to society. 

9. Climate Change is real and the inhabitants of Earth will soon be in deep trouble because of it.

10. Socialism is a good thing.

Thank you.

awesome! here we go!

1. true
2. sorry i'm not following. i'll simply state that women should decide their own reproductive rights with guidance from the medical profession that is based on science only. that "freedom of religion" should mean the ability to choose a secular lifestyle free of the concept of murder for the unborn.
3. false.
4. i'm going to say that true, it does exist. but not everywhere and in every circumstance.
5. do we need a month? how about a week. populations that have been traditionally on the beat up as fags get a little pay back. there is no requirement to attend.
6. true. its as good as any. but since there is bias everywhere then one needs to consume all of it. i actually propose that the US needs revert back to the Fairness doctrine. its always amazing how political operatives suddenly become almost amicable when faced with one another and don't have free reign of the tv screen.
7. anybody would make a better president than Trump. i would not have him manage my ice cream stand.
8. LGBTQ is not a threat to society. their is no way near enough of them. i don't care what people do with each other including getting married or whatever. clearly though, people that are born men should not be allowed to participate in female sports. its all a rational conversation.
9. true, climate change is happening. its affects are being measured in ALL of the sciences. there would have to be a global conspiracy of millions of scientists in all fields in order for it to be a hoax. i have experienced it in my lifetime. NOT all humans will be in trouble because of it! the earth has been hotter! its not going to extinguish us... it will cause problems for great swaths of the human population. we will survive! but its in our best interests to slow it. we will not be able to stop it completely probably.
10. yes. and so is capitalism. because we live in a mixed economy: "A mixed economy is an economic system that accepts both private businesses and nationalized government services, like public utilities, safety, military, welfare, and education. A mixed economy also promotes some form of regulation to protect the public, the environment, or the interests of the state.

This is in contrast to a laissez faire capitalist economy which seeks to abolish or privatize most government services while wanting to deregulate the economy — and a fully centrally planned economy that seeks to nationalize most services like under the early USSR."

not heavy on the  economics? i'm a fiscal conservative!
looking forward to my rating! thanks a bunch!

You're also missing the point. The claim being made was not that leftists claim the existence of systems of oppression that conservatives do not. The claim is (1) that leftists are more unhappy than conservatives and (2) they source of that unhappiness is their belief that they are personally being persecuted. it is, in a word, horseshit.

You're completely missing the point.

The quote from the article doesn't say that leftists are unhappier, but it's plain to see that leftists are incredibly b1tchy, horrible people.

Leftists are angry and b1tchy to the point of:

• having women's vagina hat marches where they talk about blowing up the WH and how nasty their sheets are
• They advocate for violent BLM riots constantly,
• they support the riots even after all the violence and destruction of communities,
• they release as many of the offenders as they can & raise bail money for the ones that are locked in areas with GOP DAs
• they call severed head effigies 'art' and 'comedy'
• they condone protests at SCJ's homes
• they even call it a car crash when a BLM 'poet' "crashes his car" into 50+ people
• they supported violent attacks against the WH and the agents protecting it
• they support police stations being overrun and gov't buildings being fire-bombed and surrounded for weeks at a time
• they supported BLM's takeover & sovereignty of part of Seattle

Then, the ONE day that conservatives riot, suddenly "RIOTS ARE THE WORST THINGS EVER! RIOTERS NEED TO GO TO JAIL FOR 20 YEARS! ANYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE RIOT CAN NEVER RUN FOR RE-ELECTION!"

Then there's this guy:

and this guy, who also supports BLM and all of their violence but hates bouncy castles:

Leftists are not just angry, they're so angry that they love violence and destruction. 

Get your head out of your arse, lying sack of crap.
