While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Greetings!

Biden's "Lip Service" to the Leftist Radicals is somehow not reflected in his actions or policies?

Geesus. Put the fucking delusional Kool-Aid down.

Biden is one of the most Left-wing, radical, Marxist, fucking tyrant nutjobs that has ever ruled this country.

Listen to Dan Bongino, as well as Ben Shapiro, along with Walsh, Klaven, and others at the Daily Wire to learn all about how fucking radical and fucking left wing Biden has been with his actions and policies.

Semper Fidelis,

Point of order:

Biden's handlers are hard left.

I don't think Biden himself is in charge of much of anything, down to his bowel movements.

Do you have any specific arguments to discuss? I've been subscribed to updates from Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire for a while now.

I don’t know how “hard left” Biden is at the core, as he speaks too much nonsense to be able to tell. You could sort of make a similar argument for Trump by the way, his actual stance on things was meandering and sometimes lost in unclear rhetoric.

What really pisses me off about Biden is that he is pandering to the race grifters pretty hard, in a country that is already hysterical about race. Going all out on the Georgia voting laws and calling them “Jim Crow on steroids” etc, after a year when people got killed or had their business burnt down in riots that were all about race, or their neighborhood occupied by thugs….well that’s pretty disgusting. It made him radioactive to me at least.

Well, if you are a regular listener to Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klaven, Michael Walsh, then you would know how fucking extreme LEFT and RADICAL Biden's actions and policies have been. Dan Bongino has also discussed on his program numerous occasions and episodes about how extreme LEFT and disastrous Biden has been for America.

Of those, I only follow Ben Shapiro (mostly on Daily Wire). But I read a number of different news sources including both right-leaning and left-leaning, and I don't blindly swallow to any of them. In general, I'm pretty skeptical of basing my views of the world on "news", because essentially all news sources are sensationalized and biased. Even if politically moderate, they still tend to push outrage and clickbait over something.

For those of you who are terminally uninformed, Nadia Murad is a Yazidi woman who was kidnapped into sex slavery by ISIS.

One more example of wokeists being quite comfortable with sex trafficking and rape. Whodathunk it?

I don't think they're "comfortable" with it. That's the kind of thinking that led us into this hopeless divisiveness. I just think that "Muslims doing bad" causes an cognitive error and near-shutdown of their brains.

Feel free to trawl through the usual leftist echo chambers and review how they talk about Joseph Rosenbaum.

Or contemplate how they continue to idolize Roman Polanski.

I know many "woke" leftists. Some think that Polanski should rot in jail for a lifetime, or even shot. I have seen this so many times; "pedophile" and "rape apologist" are insults that both sides like to hurl at each other, and of course when we're talking about millions of people it's always possible to find "evidence" that supports this view. Add to that a good dose of "my side means well, but sometimes things just go wrong. Those others though? Tsk tsk!"

Good. Make sure you keep a list. It'll be interesting to see how many want to put you in a camp for wrongthink.

I don't doubt it, but the problem is that such leftists don't generally speak up to call out their more blind-eye-turning fellows in public. I am perfectly willing not to tar the moderates of any movement with an extremists' brush -- there is no movement which doesn't have destructive extremists -- but when the moderates stay conveniently silent as long as their extremist fringe's actions are still working to their benefit, that distinction becomes harder to buy.

(Larry Correia just recently posted a great rant about this topic.)

I think one way we will know Wokism is on the decline is when its extremists finally start losing their own moderates' support.

Correia says it better than I ever could.

People say, 'But we're not all like that!' and my response is, 'How can I tell?'.

I agree that way too few on the left point out the insanity. Bill Maher is firmly rooted on the left (because weed, and a personal feud with Trump, and a few other things) but he’s  among the few that will tell them to their face that they’re nuts. When asked why he doesn’t just shut up about it he responded “because you embarrass me!”

I agree, but I’d put it stronger than that. The current left isn’t just an embarrassment, they have been supporting people who have burned down parts of cities. The left can point to Jan 6, but that was more like vandalism to state property if you ask me, it didn’t scare my nearly as much.
