    People who hold different opinions and worldviews than you

    “Threatening to kill people and not wanting people to threaten to kill people are equal worldviews, actually.”

      Strawmanning and attacking #EatTheRich memebros actually is equivalent to enabling actual violence by condemning anyone who opposes nonviolence, actually, and it’s why you all are finally, finally being downvoted and rejected by everyone else. Ackshually

        No I’m being downvoted because gamers have really rustled jimmies, and this place has a lot of commie-leaning people.

        Wanna know how I know? The actual rest of society thinks this is a terrible thing to do.

          And it couldn’t possibly be that you’re just wrong.

          Wanna know how I know? Because I actually think and don’t resort to blatant bandwagon fallacies like you do. Actually recent polls have even shown the number of Americans who agree with sentiments like #EatTheRich or who accept political violence is rising, and it’s more Democrats doing it than Republicans, so you’re doubly wrong.

          Take your status-quo-or-die bullshit elsewhere. We’ve had enough of it. No one has to agree with you on the issue. No one has to agree with you on nonviolence or political violence or any sort of -ence. People have the right to feel the way they want to feel and as someone with a vested stake in a liberal democracy that pretends to care about such things, by extension you have to respect that.

          Let it go.
