The City on Fire

Quote: Mission146

If I get suspended, I get suspended. Besides that, I said that I had changed the quote and indicated what the changes were. I see that I technically shouldn't have changed the quote. I guess I won't do that again.

ADDED: There, I changed that post, but I did indeed do the original offense indicated. I'm sure Gandler wouldn't care.

Oh, I don't care one way or the other.....carry on lol

There's just one guy here who likes to sow division at every opportunity. Soopoo called him out on it the other day.
Thank god I have him blocked. 👍👍

Quote: Gandler

Hardly breaking news.... She ordered food off work and was upset because she feared they were messing with it (quite possible).....

Not on duty, I hardly see how this should be used against her.....

People act all dramatic on social media regarding food orders literally 24/7, this was actually slightly justified....

This is why smart people should get off social media. There are literally people with nothing better to do than creep through every post by every person looking for something to be used against them...

(Quote changed, changes in bold)

There's a libbie here who loves to call for the suspension of any conservative who changes a quote.

But just watch.....he will be conspicuously silent this time. 🙄

I have never complained about changing a quote....

I actually agree that most people should get off social media. It is a literal witch hunt now for anything even slightly controversial.....

Yes, and all quite intentional. It's basically a means to narrative control and subversive tactics to stifle freedom of speech, because that's one of the few things that they can't successfully use the Federal Government to do.

Embarrassingly, I thought about changing Gandler's post EXACTLY as you did, Mission! And it was more to ADD to Gandler's thoughts, not to diminish or make fun of them.

What's so embarrassing about it, hmmm??? (Just kidding around)

I enjoy living rent free in your mind.

I agree.

But, some battles are not worth it.

Now, if I was retired and did not have to worry about current or future careers, making a stand on social media would be fine.

But, its not worth it anymore, too many people getting fired for relatively non-controversial opinions... Sadly freedom of speech does not protect you from private employers from firing you if they get enough social pressure after some random post goes viral in certain circles.....

Its sad to say, but they are winning....

They are, at least, for the time being. It's hard to tell if there might be some pushback against it if they push it too far and make it a broader societal thing, rather than just limiting it to those who are---I don't even want to say outspoken---more than completely silent on social media?

The ironic thing is it's the same exact thing that I can't stand about religion. It's an intellectually inept, echo-chamber, circle-jerk going on with them. The only difference between them and religious extremists is that there is no god involved, but otherwise, it's six of one, half dozen of the other. What drove me away is after they got some semblance of equality for everyone (for the most part) they wanted to push the envelope so far the other way as to force people to think the way they do, not just treat other people equally under the law.

I agree.

I think I have said something similar before. Its the religion of national masochism. Anything pro-American is bad, defense of America, racist. Its an inquisition into your personal beliefs to see if you pass the purity test.

Like we have talked about before. I hate religion. But, churches are not stalking facebook pages to see me make Jesus jokes.... They are not a threat in the same way as this wave of moral police are. You have to have the right opinion and express it correctly (critical combination).

I am about as left as it gets, probably most people here would call me a socialist, but I get more hate from the left on social media (or did) because of my views on America (not hating it). Its sad when people on Facebook can brag about being an Antifa member (had friends like that), but you can't say anything about being in the Reserves (not something I would brag about anyway) because of the risks.... For me social media is just not worth it. If social media still exists when I am retired maybe I will go back.

Speaking of what I just said. Tim Kaine just said something absurd. And, Ben Shapiro seems to be the only person to call him out that I can find.

Slavery was not invented by America (that should not need to be told to anybody who graduated 8th)… But, its just one of many examples of the self-immolation that even so called moderates are engaging in to appease the masses. I still am having trouble understanding why no mainstream leftists are willing to respond to this lunacy. The Right has a monopoly on calling out absurdity right now, and honestly they deserve it, because they have the stones to call people out, while the left is bending over backwards to make America the bad guy with revisionist history....

Time Kaine was almost Vice President for those who forgot....
