I just picked up the civ5 bundle for 90% off about a month ago. It is a 13 year old game, but it’s still a great game.

And two weeks ago, you would have called the 71 year old man in this story an “average republican”. You would have told his tenants to be patient with him and try to understand his fears, not lump him in with “the outliers”.

And that’s the problem with your viewpoint, everyone on the other side is “average” until they aren’t, and then its too late. Quick making it comfortable for them to be average-ly bigoted and hateful. Quit putting the work on the left, when we aren’t the ones oppressing and killing people. Start blaming the right for what they support and work towards.

And since you clearly have nothing to say that’s worth listening to, I’m just going to go ahead and block you.

Then go talk to them, quit demanding that the left to be more patient and forgiving to people who actually want to kill them.

You may not identify as a centrist, but you’re pushing their views. If your don’t want to be one, it sounds like it’s time for some self reflection.

I don’t see them as “others” because they have different beliefs. I see them as “others” because they have willingly allowed propaganda to radicalized them into believing we don’t deserve the same rights as as them, which gives them an excuse to see us as less than human. When they don’t believe we deserve rights and are less than human, this happens.

Stop putting the blame on the people defending themselves and their rights and place it on the aggressors. But clearly the enlighted centrist knows better…

No, you fucking haven’t. No one on the left has been saying this about any of this shit. We’ve been warning people that this is what they were building to.

If this is what was said “in your circles”, then your circles are filled with republicans, and you’ve been stupid enough to believe them.

And this is not a collection of shit. It is one show. Judging by your comment history though you’re fucking insufferable. Take a block and go be miserable elsewhere no one cares about your whiny ass opinions.

Franchise was the word you’re misusing, dumbass. I don’t even care about the show. It could be literally be a reboot of anything, but it’s not a fucking franchise. Words have meanings.

I’m not debating you on shit, I’m saying you have a shit grasp on current events if you believe your comment to be true.

No, you’re preaching to the choir like we didn’t already fucking know it. No shit the right wants to take Trans rights away, literally no one is surprised by that.

You’re original comment makes no sense in any context.

I don’t think anyone understands the context you’re trying to present that in. There are virtually no Trans people or allies that believed the republicans wouldn’t come for them. Its very much the opposite, just as it was for roe v wade. The left called out what they were doing years in advance and the right kept lying and saying “you’re crazy, we’d never do that”. When anyone with any intelligence knew they obviously would, and they have.

There weren’t really Trans people on the republican side saying what you claim, because there isnt anyone on that side advocating for trans people. The two groups are pretty much mutually exclusive. Or you’re trying to criticize the left, but no one on the left believed that republicans would hesitate to take rights from Trans people.

The guy you argued with below was agreeing with you that republicans suck and you kept arguing with him. So what the fuck are you trying to say?

So you should be allowed to throw whatever buzzwords you feel like at it? Fuck off, if you can express actual critique for it fine, but just “boo-hoo I hate franchises” is a useless addition to any discussion about it.

The republicans that want trump out, aren’t on his social media platform though

I much prefer practical effects, always have

Franchise, really? Throwing that word around pretty loosley now aren’t we? It was 1 show that ran for three seasons and still has fans after 29 years.

What made it a franchise? Is every cartoon a “franchise” now because there could be merchandise? No, find something actually criticize or fuck off.

Uh oh, somebody got their feelings hurt

Uh oh, somebody got their feelings hurt

Could I convince you to quit whining about it?

I love your name

Id rather you just stop talking altogether

Yeah. That’s how that works
