As I already alluded to this is a common criticism still being made by liberals about their own movement today. Not sure who you are trying to convince as I think it is mostly true.

Martin Luther King won out over his more radical race war baiting counterparts. Was peace and goodwill the best way to move civil rights forward? I think it probably was but it will never make everyone happy, particularly those who had nothing to gain and had already lost everything.

Also please show me the movement that is doing what the liberals could not. Things are better than they have ever been before. But that does not mean they can't get worse or shouldn't be better than they are.

In this case it is not a normal relationship. The person who is love bombing is not being genuine. They are manipulating someone to get what they want.

50 year olds pursuing 20 year olds is not common and definitely is creepy when it happens.

So you think that leftists only pay a lip service to equality? That is a valid criticism given by leftists themselves.

It is important to keep in mind it was the progressives, which includes liberals and leftists, who are the ones responsible for desegregation and just about every other social justice issue in our modern times.

They did not do it by force either. They convinced people and used their social currency to cause voluntary change in the hearts and minds of people as well as policies in the government.

In the US, trying to lay the blame on them for family separation and caging children is pretty far fetched. Did they play some small part in it? Probably.

It was not their policy and to be frank they would have never had to take a centrist position if the conservatives did not try to make it into a political issue in the first place. Conservatives have used their grievance culture of hate to turn people against each other for far too long.

So Kwane Ture's biggest criticism is the liberals don't try hard enough? That because they don't tear the institution down they are just as bad as the oppressors. That because they see it is wrong and try to make a change that they are actually taking power away from the oppressed.

This is all a common criticism in the vein of Malcom X and many before and after him. It of course ignores that the progressives are actually made up from the oppressed. That everything we consider part of what makes life livable nowadays is because of progressives.

We would already have cheap or universal healthcare, equality of the sexes, elimination of discrimination, reformation of policing, living wages, free education, and a slew of other amenities if the conservatives did not decide to turn all these issues partisan.

The fact that the Democratic party marched to the right is the response of 60+ years of hateful propaganda spewed from the conservatives to divide our populace. They are the ones responsible for dragging the country right.

Having said all that I do agree with his sentiment. The progressives have grown complacent. We still don't have a equal rights amendment added to our constitution. We won't protect the rights of 50% of our society. As a man with four daughters it is very disheartening.

Sooooo... A task force of racists?

You have some interesting beliefs for sure.

Liberals who are most often defined by equality typically align with the so-called left. Although it is important to point out what country you are from can drastically alter this perception. I was born and raised in North America.

The right which is often synonymous with conservatives have pushed back against racial and gender equality. They believe in rigid hierarchies keeping control through rules that bind others but not themselves.

I get the feeling you probably believe in a lot of right wing propaganda. Hence the whole inflicting moral outrage on others being such a boogey man. It really isn't as conservatives have no problem ignoring it.

Detailed records showing Trump sitting on Twatter all day and watching Faux Newz.

It leaves little doubt he helped orchestrate it instead of just passively watching.

It blows the whole "he transferred peacefully" out of the water.

It also makes it clear he knew he lost and lied about everything.

Something worse probably and I am an optimist.

Just to be clear you are an unbelievably toxic troll. Everyone was right about you. I really tried to give you the benefit of the doubt.

This is not a government run website, you have no rights. You are incapable of self reflection which is bizarre considering your username.

I will call you out for being a troll because it is the unfortunate truth. Peace be with you.

"I'll keep posting what I want, when I want, where I want, and respond to people how I want. Whether it is "working" or not. Thank you!"

You keep confirming you are a troll, time and time again.

This was a discussion about you behavior. You did not address this behavior in your post.

The links are okay, but your responses are ridiculous just like the one here. The passive aggressiveness is palpable.

The constant need to disproportionally defend yourself definitely is trollish.

If you wish to address this fine. Otherwise there is not much else to say. I wish you good luck in the future and do hope you will change.

These are pretty much my thoughts as well.

His campaign should continue highlight how much we were lied to about Biden's mental health. It is hilarious to hear them beat that drum when they are not even running against Biden anymore and Trump is the only deranged old man running now.
