Jiro's War on EoEO

[krissy]

i think the recent attack on christians was actually more of an attack on one guy and had less to do with his views on anything vs his iratibility made it so easy to pick at him.

and what attack on gun ownership? the last thread on guns i saw was yours. although to be fair i don't really read most of eoeo threads before posting in them.

[Jiro]

For instance, the recent liberal attacks on Christians and gun owners.

The Christians that get bashed (metaphorically man, don't get your freedom panties in a bunch) are targeted because they are morons, not the religion itself (though some certainly would argue that point but personally I don't give a smurf so long as we're not protecting kiddy fiddlers).

Under socialism, the government would have control of the economy and industries.

And you're saying that's bad? Can you just like, explain why I should fear this?

In almost all (if not all) communist countries, the internet is heavily restricted (or in some cases, outright banned).

Again, [citation needed]

I would find it hard to believe that a socialist government would be very supportive of a privately owned internet forum about a product created by capitalists.

You seem to know an awful lot about socialism, socialists and how they think. Is there something you're not telling us brah? I mean god, you seem to have a right hard on for them in a weird kind of way. Sort of like how you pull the hair of the bird you fancy.

Under socialism, the government would have control of the economy and industries.

Only under state socialism. Large numbers of socialists aren't state socialists, including basically all libertarian socialists (state socialism is pretty much incompatible with libertarian socialism by definition, since libertarian socialism involves devolving government and corporate power).

In almost all (if not all) communist countries, the internet is heavily restricted (or in some cases, outright banned).

Communism is not synonymous with socialism, and the existing countries that identify as communist do not represent the views of large numbers of people who identify as communist - to name three examples, left communists, council communists, and Luxemburgists.

I would find it hard to believe that a socialist government would be very supportive of a privately owned internet forum about a product created by capitalists.

This is, of course, once again assuming state socialism. There are plenty of other forms of socialism, such as syndicalism, mutualism, market socialism, participatory economics, and libertarian socialism.

And I am not familiar with the above-cited "liberal attacks on Christians and gun owners." And liberals can be equated with socialists now? I think each of them would be surprised to learn that.

This is getting too heated for GC.


INTERMISSION!


Take your commie socialist propaganda and gun-toting, sister loving hillbilly-ness back to EoEO. BACK FIENDS, BACK!

DON'T IMPINGE MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH YOU BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

General Chat is the best place for this thread, obviously it is my base of operations as I storm the beaches of EoEO just like we did in Gallipoli.

Perhaps if liberals weren't constantly trying to persecute anyone who stands up to them, then I wouldn't need to worry about such things.

I would love to be in your head for a day. I'm betting it smells of freedom fries in there.

Of course, that's the free market at work for you. If they are so opposed to allowing individuals with opposing ideas on an internet forum, then that speaks volumes about how much they want to censor similar individuals in real life. Additionally, quite a few members here are socialists and if they had their way, this forum would either:
1. Not exist.
or
2. Be run by the government and heavily censored.


Then again, if the liberals had their way...
1. Video games would be banned, as they are in several socialist countries, such as Venezuela and PRChina.
2. There would be no companies left to make video games.

Someday you'll have to explain to me how you manage to debate without actually understanding the opposing view points, not to mention consistently misunderstanding and misrepresenting the views of many members here. Your talent for it is awe inspiring. A true gift.

[Jinx]

Let me just step in here for a moment to say this:

The thing about persecution is that it goes both ways. In this day, persecution (most of the time) has less to do with lynching, and more to do with words. I'm pretty sure your blatant hatred of "liberals" without every trying to understand their opinions, and continuously calling them stupid, socialists, etc is PERSECUTION. Because you're making them out to be terrible people, when they just follow a different political stance/belief than you.

I'm not saying words haven't been thrown around in these topics, just don't make yourself such a martyr, PR.

God, it's like The Ceej came back as a... whatever the smurf Phoenix Rising is on the political spectrum of dumbassery.

[Phoenix Rising]

The Christians that get bashed (metaphorically man, don't get your freedom panties in a bunch) are targeted because they are morons, not the religion itself (though some certainly would argue that point but personally I don't give a smurf so long as we're not protecting kiddy fiddlers).

That's not the case, however. I hate the Christian fundamentalists as much as the next person, but they're not the only ones being attacked. Liberals can't seem to stand any form of Christianity, whether it is moderate or extreme. It's gotten to the point where most major highways have signs by liberals saying "you know it's a lie and you have a choice." Or simply the way liberals are always behaving, referring to Christians as "dumb." Ironically these same liberals not only refuse to attack Muslims, but they go out of their way to make concessions to them.

And you're saying that's bad? Can you just like, explain why I should fear this?

I don't know about you, but I'd rather not have the government control every aspect of my life. Can you please explain to me why freedom is such a bad thing?

Again, [citation needed]

Do you see a pattern developing here?

You seem to know an awful lot about socialism, socialists and how they think. Is there something you're not telling us brah?

Knowing your enemy makes it easier to destroy your enemy.

@fierytempest

What makes you think I "hate" liberals? I don't hate anyone, hate is just fear with attitude. In fact one of my closest friends is a self-proclaimed socialist and another is a self-proclaimed liberal, and we have polite debates all the time. I don't think of them as "bad people," they simply hold a differing viewpoint and/or have been misinformed.

God, it's like The Ceej came back as a... whatever the smurf Phoenix Rising is on the political spectrum of dumbassery.

u mad?

[Slothy]

Do you see a pattern developing here?

Maybe if we had a sweet clue what the hell the colours mean. Seriously, that is the worst citation I've ever seen. You might as well have posted a picture of a bowl of froot loops.

Actually, I'd have preferred a picture of a bowl of froot loops.

I still didn't tell everybody the time that 4chan saved him from being arrested by me.

Does he know you're trying to "destroy" him?
