Amazing. So what emperical data is @dachuda86 basing his analysis on? When you are in the Marine Corps infantry, you basically have an understanding of the entire culture and the type of individuals that have a tendency to be attracted to said proffesion.
Yes, I do say so. Unless you have some insight that counters my "anecdote", then by all means please go ahead or else I'm just assuming you aren't here for a discussion but rather just to play poke holes without addressing anything I've actually stated because you probably are annoyed with me as a poster.
well you can add the appeal to authority to your resume http://www.softschools.com/examples/fallacies/appeal_to_authority_examples/430/
So I guess everyone has equal experience understanding the cultural norms and tendencies of what goes on Marine infantry barracks just as much as someone who has lived in said culture for more than 4 years and still interacts with said culture and the web offshoots from friends to relatives. It's obvious what you are attempting to do. The "I'm just going to list common fallacies" shtick is what high school school kids do. You want to discredit my experiences, try harder than copying and pasting common fallacy terms. You are basically making an argument that someone born and raised in a set culture such as the rural Midwest doesn't have a stronger claim to understanding their region's culture than an outsider.
You are easily offended aren't you. Why would your mind jump to "this is a dick measuring contest"? Was I even replying to you when I made that statement? Damn you are petty.
Where is the self policing on the left? I see none. Give me some examples. Please. The left will not shun communists or socialists. They embrace the extreme. And I agree that the left is more "tolerant," and it goes beyond normal levels of tolerance, and it is far too oft done to a point of self defeat. IE the weird alliance between the extreme Islamists and the left who want to harbor the gay rights movement and the feminists movement. Here with TPUSA events, there are obvious fractures in the right wing movement and you can see Don Jr openly say he won't give them sound bites and entertain a conversation with those further right elements.
Why would people need to police people who want Medicare for all? The right wing has co-opted the term "Communism" to mean any form of government expansion. There is no political clout in the USA for actual Communism, the type that wants to eliminate all private property. You have elected officials in the US who actually express sympathy for white nationalism such as Steve King and Donald Trump.
Give me a break. Woke culture is self policing on steroids. We self police plenty... probably too much. Hello Al Franken. The day I finally get to meet a communist or finally get recruited by Antifa, I’ll let you know right after I “shun” them okay? Throwing out the communist trope is just so weird by you guys. It’s like you really don’t understand what communism really even is. It’s like you guys are a bunch of old people in the 70’s before LBJ sent troops to Vietnam. Such a weird comment too about the left embracing extreme islamists. I have no earthly idea what that means. I think you are confusing having a heart for people like Syrian refugees and embracing a Muslim fundamentalist dictator whose military was caught red handed committing genocidal war crimes on our allies who are some of which are the only Christians in the Middle East. I’m sure Trump and the Republicans will do everything they can tomorrow to put space between their beliefs and that of a fundamentalist thug like Erdogan right?? And then there is the embrace of the Saudis... yeah.. total liberal move there. You know how we are... go have a Kale smoothie, read some Maya Angelo poetry, listen to some Arcade Fire, and go hack a journalist into a million pieces with a bone saw. Total libtard move.
