Black Dog Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 3 hours ago, Deluge said: 90% of black Americans vote Democrat. That means at least 90% of that chart feels they are being persecuted in our legal system. Unless you're trying to tell me that those being arrested own up to their mistakes and think their court convictions are justified. Are you trying to tell me that those people own up to their mistakes and think their convictions are justified? Prager is correct. Leftists complain about persecution rather than take responsibility for their own actions. It's why their fingers are ALWAYS pointed at other people - usually conservative straight white males. Are you telling me you think 90% of Black Americans have been convicted of a crime? lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 37 minutes ago, WestCanMan said: Do you feel like we need a study to know whether the following is true or not: When was the last time you heard a conservative woman bemoaning the patriarchy or misogyny? When was the last time you saw a leftist female get in front of a microphone and not b1tch about those things? I can't watch a TV show, movie, or a female comedian without at least one diatribe about it. Hillary's whole election campaign was based on whining about those "issues". Then those same crakhos will unironically say that wearing a hijab is a display of a woman's courage, as if they don't know that women get beaten up - or much worse - by members of their own immediate family and strangers alike, for not wearing it. I'll admit that the picture of the pipe was pretty funny in that context, I'll probably steal that at one point, but it fell flat in that instance because the need for proof of those statements was non-existent. 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 (edited) 3 hours ago, Deluge said: I could possibly buy the idea that you are at least slightly happy, but you are a leftist, and that means you hate Trump and the MAGA movement in addition to being supportive of all the woke bullshit being peddled today - you're just not as fanatical as people like roboradical. I know what hate feels like and its just not the case. To me Trump is by far mostly amusing and at times disgusting but even then my sense of disgust is more related to the sycophancy of the butt sniffs that are attracted to him. Sycophancy is a truly deplorable state of being that should engender disgust wherever it manifests. As for 'woke' bullshit, I think much of it is a distraction that's preventing us from dealing with more important things like climate change. Most of the time I just roll my eyes at - especially the reaction it triggers. It would be nice if wokies could just learn to laugh at people that are triggered by it as opposed to taking them so seriously. The term has definitely been blown way way out of proportion and catering to that is what's preventing far more serious issues from being addressed.

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? 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. According to you, Leftists DO NOT feel persecuted. Edited January 26 by Deluge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that they are being personally persecuted but rather that the system is based on oppressor and the oppressed. Leftists see the world through the lens of victimhood.

There is no "sycophancy" with Trump supporters, and the fact that you're pushing that absurd notion means you will say and do just about anything to drive people away from voting for Trump - the reason for you doing that is quite simply because you hate the man - and his supporters. "Climate change" IS woke bullshit. So is pronouns and LGBTQ in school libraries. You're so steeped in this shit that you don't even understand your own f*cking agenda. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godzilla Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 23 hours ago, Deluge said: An older article, but an interesting AND informative one, nonetheless. "One of the most important differences between the right and the left—one that greatly helps to explain their differences—is the difference between unhappy liberals and unhappy conservatives. Unhappy conservatives generally believe they are unhappy because life is inherently difficult and tragic, and because they have made some unwise decisions in life. But unhappy liberals generally believe they are unhappy because they have been persecuted." https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/02/13/why-leftists-are-so-unhappy thats hilarious Deluge... i guess because you are constantly screaming about being persecuted. i guess that makes you an unhappy liberal! well, of course you're not an unhappy liberal... and thus the complete idiocy of the article in question. more attempts to prey on peoples cognitive distortion of black and white thinking.

Leftists see the world through the lens victimhood. No I e can be happy if they believe they are a victim. That is half of it - but the other half is that they see OTHER people as victims (whether they are or are not) and take it on themselves to correct that by forcing others to change their behavior. Example - they become furious that black men are in jail in higher percents than whites and decide they will rise up in ""Solidarity"" and decide what's best for the blacks and demand that other people do what THEY think the blacks want. Or that we should let all people in mexico live here because muh feels and then they are furious that people who have to live with the consequences of that complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godzilla Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 i guess Trump is a radical liberal... because he is constantly complaining about being persecuted. and not saying that he just made some bad decisions like: 1. sexually assaulted someone 2. paid off a porn star to be quiet and then claimed it as a business expense 3. took boxes of confidential materials home and then was asked for it back tried to hide it 4. had fake electors issue illegal documents to be sent to the senate and then tried to pressure the VP to not certify an election no bad decisions here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you think you are, and here's why: You think black Americans are being persecuted by whites and your white guilt drives you to that thinking. You think you're so in tune with "people of color" that you happily bring their perceived persecution inside you. It's a sick way of thinking but it's who you are.
