By this, I can also make the assumption conservatives like judging many by a few. And there are a few American conservatives on this board that get just as disruptive.
As for the protesters, I already gave my opinion on that. They shouldn't be violent, but they shouldn't be convient . I should also add autocorrect has been replacing words on me. Lol because like many protesters I have an iPhone. But I love consumerism. .You've just put your finger squarely on the reason I have most of the little twatmuffins on ignore: so I can go on discussing topics with the grown-ups and without their disruptions.
I have never put a member on ignore. Nor have I ever neg repped a member for any opinion expressed no matter how stupid, hateful, or judgmental. But I may have to change my ways in order to be able to enjoy USMB.
But it really does illustrate Klaven's point doesn't it? Leftists who aren't getting their way or who want to force somebody to give them what they want are too often likely to respect nobody and can get really ugly and hateful as well as destructive. Violating the rights and property of others and trying to make others miserable is the norm in the mob mentality as Klaven clearly illustrated.
But American conservatives don't seem to go that way.
I know the leftists hate this topic because it's pretty hard to dispute the thesis. I'm seeing Klaven's point of view reinforced as we go along and I think he has hit on something.
I won't excuse the rightwingers who enjoy the food fights and sniping and I agree that there are a few who can be disruptive. And I'll have to say that I am a bit frustrated that even a lot of the conservatives on the board don't seem to want to focus in on the topic.
So I'll ask you.
Do you agree with Klaven that it does seem to usually be those on the left who are being antisocial, disruptive, rude, and destructive in these public protests?
That the Tea Partiers and similar groups have not been guilty of that in recent years?
And if you will agree to that, do you agree with Klaven that it is something inherent in leftism that causes this phenomenon?
And if not, what does cause it?
Anybody else is welcome to answer that of course.
