Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Right isn't as unified as you might think. There's plenty of right on right violence, especially when a channel that operates under the veneer of enlightenment or "smarts" does something that goes against it, like recent JP Jubilee appearance.

Left is also a very wide umbrella, not some team, so when someone is being idiotic, giving flack and "infighting" is good.

If you were even an atom correct we wouldn't be in fascism right now

The left's infighting is what lost this election. Every single Genocide Joe abstainer needs to have their voting rights removed permanently since they can't handle the responsibility of having such power.

And that wide umbrella has a fucktonne of misandrists that are the cause of gamergate's publicity and consequently Bannon's pro-drumpf propaganda campaign followed the same pattern

So that wide umbrella could use some closing

The things you tout as 'values' are why we are here where we are now, so it's time to change them.

You think infighting is good, but the people in control of every branch of our government are in power now because in the 80s Reagan forced them all to stop attacking each other and they accomplished ALL of their fucking goals ahead of time

Your rhetoric is old, failed and objectively useless in the modern political landscape

Lol, so much for "stop tearing down your leftist fellows".

Only liberals say this shit, and they mean "abandon any leftist projects and give unquestioning support for imperialism abroad and austerity at home"

It reminds me of nazis complaining the left calls everyone nazis; this isnt a general problem everyone has.

Very much so, though I'm still shocked by how little they even try to pretend otherwise. Just one post to go from saying the left needs to stop infighting to tearing into the left like a rabbid wolverine.

Liberals are on the right. The democratic part is center-right.
