I'm aware of my posting volume. Your contention is also weak and shared by some of the most comical posters the board has to offer. Don't be weak.
are you aware of your posting volume? you're the top poster on the entire two bills drive forum...during the football season. it's wednesday and you're at 260+. i don't know how you would even have time to read through what you post unless you spend a shocking amount of time on it. just posting because of headlines is week.
I know it exists on campuses way more than it did previously. And not just from social media as I spend a large amount of time at large universities and have seen it first hand.
no you haven't...at all.
So we've heard a lot about your opinion on why the documented rise in violent rhetoric and actual violence from people openly associated with the militant trans community are nothing burgers.
Question. If the recent school shootings in Nashville and Minneapolis were done in the name of MAGA, would that be fringe news that you'd have to go search for in your algorithm generated social media silo?
No answer necessary.
dude...i don't care what side they were on. they're ***** shooters and it's awful. and are you trying to push off school shootings as fringe news? i wasn't. fringe new is what you post again and again and again. that sign was fringe news, but you so desperately need it be something. charlie was killed by a crazy kid who didn't share the same ideas as daddy. these kids are not well, and i get that they attach onto these groups. they're lost and i agree with you on that.

It took two minutes to find those. I can post hundreds more. What are you saying it's all AI or something?
If you consume legacy media and are busy running a business you have zero chance of hearing anything about this. Even Fox News.
C'mon man are you seriously blaming social media for ginning this up when the only way you could possibly learn about the explosion of this crap online and on campuses is BECAUSE a post Elon acquisition Twitter/X exists.
of course you can post more. you post them constantly. do you realize your one of the top posters on this forum because you post like a maniac every day. i'm not telling you not to, but you're the exact type of person who consumes all day, from a directed feed, made specifically to agree with out. i don't blame social media, i blame people that don't understand what they're getting. do you really think this takes up a large portion of campus life? i guarantee it doesn't, but you sure don't realize that because your reality on college campuses is what's being pumped into that brain of yours.
you know why most media outlets including fox news won't show this? it's not hardcore news. it's fringe news that you want to consume. i've heard on here about how colleges are a scam...how colleges are programing anti-americans, etc. it's the great dumbing down of america. just because you find news that fits your narrative, don't assume that other can't find proper news on their own.

This is where you lack discernment in your reading. I have expressed my opinion and it has nothing to do with “one poster” despite you trying to make it such. You are veering towards disingenuousness.
i completely understand what your opinion was. have at it. i also have the opinion that many on here are easily played by what they consume, even at the smallest level. that type of talk is never good, but the fear you have over it is unfounded to me. you'll be fine.

The thing is Democratic supporters in entertainment are affecting the young voters.
I love Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert as far as their comedy. I used to watch it all the time but I stopped watching it because they just couldn't stop ripping on Republicans, specifically Trump.
I want to watch comedy for comedy, not to hear more political jargon. I want to get away from it and have my mind on something else. But it wouldn't stop.
Jay Leno then had some comments after Colbert was cancelled and he basically said they went too far with their political commentary. You divide an audience and that's what they did.I refuse to believe the Dems are that dumb, as you said, it was nonsense some the policies they were standing on. It wasn't they they feel this was a better policy, common sense says its not, but their play was "everything the Red stands for, do the complete opposite." That's been their platform even though there are a lot of principles that both parties align on....like illegal immigration. But now they're not aligned just because the Dems want to be anti-Republican.
the entertainment industry has always been on the blue side. it really doesn't mean that much to me as long as the politics are kept at a minimum. when it's the heavy basis for comedy of a show, it looses me too. i'm also not someone who refuses to watch a movie because of a political view of an actor. i have no idea why that bothers anyone.
your last paragraph is the big one. there's definitely a resistance, and feeling of no because it's trump. i get it, but much of that was trumps doing over the years. i just don't remember this level of anger concerning politics. i'm not blaming it on trump, but i will call him out for leading this country out from it.
when he addressed the kirk murder, he immediately started attacking and calling out the other side. not that he wasn't in the right, but maybe it's time to be a leader. maybe it's time to temper all of this back, and unify this country. he didn't...at all. as much as liberals play that no because of trump card, the maga group blames every one of their own mistakes on the left boogey man. common sense has been thrown out the window on both sides, and we need someone to help walk this country through this imo.

see what i mean? how much of this do have to sift through a day. you have a directed feed that pumps you full of this. you don't think that's on purpose?

Won’t happen simply because republicans will piss it away. I expect that to happen sooner rather than later.
You lack discernment in your reading.
then explain it to me. i'm trying to run a business here. this board isn't my main priority.
1 minute ago, JDHillFan said:The “you’re scared” part is just so weak and embarrassing. I simply disagree with you. That has led you to talk about being frenzied and scared. Nice work.
that's fine we disagree. you think one poster on a bulletin board is more volatile than i do. wasn't this what it's all about? but the moment you start calling people out for the side they're on, it becomes a joke to me.

I think Kirk was bigger than you think. I certainly think you're right where in another month or two this story will certainly die down...I mean it happened with 9/11. Football games were being played again 2 weeks later and people started getting football nuts again.
However, when it comes polling time, you will see the energy coming back up. It may not be a revolutionary shift like a "war" or with fighting.
But I absolutely believe it will lead to a political shift. The undecided and the apolitical or swing voters....this pushes them to the Right. It happened to me.
Mine was before this Kirk Assassination....it has made me want to be more outspoken.
I honestly could see this happening - I saw a Analyst on one of the platforms, not sure where it was from, it could have been 100% a Right Wing platform....but I think he was saying he could see Republicans taking control for the next 50-70 years. The Dems pushed too hard on the Woke Ideology and this new generation of voters is seeing or feeling it. I'm not going to say this Analyst is correct right now but I won't dismiss it. Especially when a DNC Chairman said they've hit rock bottom.
i think this is exactly what happened with the last election. people were just so sick of the nonsense on the left that we had a pendulum swing, which i agree that was needed. trans going into the opposite bathroom, curriculum in schools, the massive letting of free money, etc. i'm good with the change. depending on how this administration fairs, you may see that swing back in the other direction. i don't think it will happen that quick, but no more defunding the police and all of the other nonsense that came with it.

Someone with the handle JDHillFan has been around long enough to not get whipped into a frenzy about anything. Can you point to the frenzy part? It’s simply a disagreement with your position that is leading you to use words like frenzy, outrage, and scared.
Not upset at all. I like CB on occasion and would have gone there regardless. On the other hand when there’s a noisy contingent telling me that men can be women, I think it’s ok to laugh and shake my head. If a company that I have given years of business tells me I suck for being insufficiently modern, I take my business elsewhere. I don’t tell others they need to do the same.As far as being scared, it’s more that I am in line with JK Rowling when she said “I have a superpower. It’s called vision”. No fear involved. Common sense definitely involved.
I’ve noticed that some of the people that lean liberal in their comments frequently go with “I don’t have a team”. It’s an interesting thing.
oh so now i'm being a liberal. there it is. if someone doesn't agree or gets called out on their absurdity, they're on the opposite team. this exactly why we are where we are right now. not that i owe you an explanation, but i voted for trump. i can't stand him as a person, but i voted for him because i couldn't stand harris, and being a small business owner, i voted with my wallet. my issue with trump is that i've never seen anyone avoid accountability the way he does. it's always a hoax, it's always someone else's fault, etc. if you want to constantly eat that up, go ahead. lots do. i don't.
listen...i assume your an older white guy who reads a lot on politics. it's now your sport. have fun with it, but you are scared. you are think america is changing and they're coming to get you! you think your being marginalized and you want your rights back. i get it.

You want to believe it’s about one poster or social media algorithms. That particular accusation is quickly becoming tiresome. In reality it’s about an ideology that seems to be ever more interested in violence. There will be lots of people pretending otherwise so you have plenty of company.
i'm just self aware enough that there is not some revolution going on that you think there is. some of the post on social media have been insane. any reasonable person can read the headline alone and know it's nothing more than rage bait, yet i see it time and time again on here from both sides. this team based politics is for #######s. people have picked a side, and they'll protect their ideas any way they can. no one debates anymore. read this forum. you don't think you're being whipped into a frenzy? honestly...how much does politics play in you day to day life? if it's a lot, get off line.
be honest...how upset were you when crackle barrel got rid of the little man? oh the outrage about wokeness! you don't think that was a bit overplayed for clicks?
if you want to live you life scared of another side...go nuts. i don't have a team. i'm happy, safe and successful. it really is that easy, but if the injustices of the wnba bother you too, have at it.
11 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said:Yes it is. But this is why I think the "Fascist Rhetoric" has legs IMO.
Hypothetically speaking, Bin Laden was hiding in the US and American's spot him. They're going to kill him and it would be justified.
The deranged mentally ill person, in this case, views Charlie Kirk as dangerous as Bin Laden.
i watched a lot of charlie kirk. the idea of two kids and a wife being ripped away from their dad is awful, but i just don't think his death is going to create a revolution that people think it will. in another month or two, life will have moved on, and everyone on this forum will be having the same old discussion.

The thing is, crazy just doesn't mean political crazy.
I mean there's people killing people in sporting events.
Remember the Giants and Eagles fan killing in the cheesesteak line?
I think Philly's are better without American cheese....please don't kill me.
i've alway assumed people who commit those types of crime of off anyway. you mix that in with too much internet time, religion, politics, etc. hell i had a friend who was off on disability, and wow did he start to change. the bigger problem will always be mental illness, and that's an entirely different topic.

I’m not. You come off as the sort that would say things like “nobody saw this coming” and “the motive is unclear”.
saw what coming? the wave of of homosexual crime? my point of all of this is to show how maybe your feeds, your social media, etc is really starting to pick away at you. look at of the to do about one poster. one poster that almost no one will likely notice, unless someone is looking for a controversy. being upset over this is to me becoming the new group of snowflakes.

Never though of it like that. Someone opens the door and gets hit with pink glitter and gets their makeup and hair accessories stolen.
I'm definitely more scared of gay home invasions.
Glad you set me straight.

18 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said:100% agree. I have seen this type of posters if I go to Atlanta and I usually just roll my eyes.
But it just takes one - or lets say it's just the 1% at the most. That's still several thousand people.
oh yeah. it doesn't take much to set off crazy.

That message of that sign no matter where it is displayed be it on campus, small town bookstore, telephone pole, or coffee shop is a problem that shouldn’t be dismissed with “they’re just kidding. Nothing to see here”.
how scared are you of gay crime?
the title is stupid. i agree.

I think the times we live in require people be taken seriously that advertise their thing as “do crimes”. Your idea of “I hope they don’t mean it” doesn’t sound prudent.
did you glance at that and really think they were calling on the gays to turn into cat burglars? i think the poster is absurd too, but this just isn't something that most students would even notice, nor is it any sign the colleges are out to warp our children.
22 minutes ago, boyst said:So the results count. The gays got criminal... So, yeah, hope is like thoughts and prayers.
I feel there should be a TV show featuring a character like your brother. A can't get right gay dude who always tries to break the law. It'd be a good comedy.
i am totally on board with this tv show. i have 3 legit episodes in my head already.

Imagine. If "anyone" hung a "be black, do crime" poster....
Or
"Be Latino, do crime."
It's wrong any way you put it.
oh it's dumb. i'm sure it's worded that way for the sake of being salacious and grabbing attention. i hope they're not actually promoting crime in the gay community. the bulletin boards at colleges always have the strangest ***** on them. if you wanted a weird club to join, wander over to those bulletin boards in the student center.
on a side note, my brother in law is gay, and he'd be terrible at doing crime. absolutely terrible.

eh. this is awful yolo. i have a 10 yr old in cheerleading, and they are very conscious for who looks like what. i can't imagine at 16.
you guys will get over this though. years ago i date a girl who became active in those miss fitness competitions. she was always in good shape, but she started doing the 900 cal a day diet with heavy working out. she ended up with exercise induced anorexia and was very sick. we weren't dating anymore at the time, but when i saw her, it was the middle of the summer and she was wearing a sweater because she was so cold. her hair was brittle and falling out. she looked sick.
after therapy and spending time in an in-patient facility, she's back to 100%. i saw her maybe a month ago, and she looks like her old self. married with a young child. it was a major road bump in her life, but it can be overcome.

yeah...it's not an equal comparison.
and i'm not coming at this from any political side. what i see posted from both corners has been so provocative and unnecessarily for the sake of viewers that it's hard not to be sad. the division is deep and looks to be getting no better. just when i saw someone pushing that colleges are spreading anti-american idea to warp the young, social media has to be called out.

Do you think the college landscape and political landscape has changed in the 25 years since you've been in college?
sure, but the core idea hasn't seemed to change. universities lean on the liberal side and were consider a place for debate, protest, etc. kids were killed on the campus of kent st. nothing new. what's new is the level of virulence towards everyone's political ideas, which is social media driven. any "protests" i saw were tame...it was nothing like the nonsense that happened at columbia, where i think the president of the university completely failed those students. it's also a different population than where i went to school.

At my kid's school (he's a business major) it was a required class to fulfill distribution requirements.
Yes that is the typical college experience.
i had to take a year of, (i honestly don't remember what it was called) cultural studies. one class that i picked. guess what? i didn't become radicalized!!! at all? did you child change their opinion on politics? did they become anti-american? no. it's a scare tactic my friend. i graduated 25 years ago and this was a truth then as much as it is now.
edit: and is this the typical college experience? i went to a boston college. we had to take a year of religion, a year of philosophy, and a year of cultural studies. it was a catholic liberal arts school, so it made sense.

Also consider that source - attractive young woman making a claim that’s difficult to prove, amplified by one of the most notorious agitation propaganda accounts on Twitter.most of what we find politically is click driven. i suppose everything is now. i'm not denying that these classes exist either. i can't imagine of of the nonsense you'd find at the university of vermont in "culture studies". not to ***** on vermont, but some schools are more liberal than others, and some classes are more liberal than others. if this is a required class for her major, then reconsider your major. i just don't think this is the college experience as most are being let to think.
you want to be an accountant, take business classes. i guarantee you won't find much politics in the typical core majors. not once did i hear anything about politics in organic chem. a lot of it is what you sign up for.

Just one of many examples to reinforce this point. It's not just the faculty but the people writing the curriculum.
the faculty a lot of the time writes the curriculum. i can't tell you home many texts i bought just to read one chapter of a book that the professor wrote. i can't hear the audio from where i am, but what class was this?

I agree with you regarding the “anti-American” part. It’s hyperbole in my estimation. Your belief that 18yo’s who don’t know sh*t about life show up on campus and are somehow immune to the messaging they get from faculty that is OVERWHELMINGLY liberal, is nonsense.
i mean this i completely agree with. campuses are notoriously liberal. i'm not disputing that at all. it's been that way for decades, so this is nothing new at all. the idea that a group of radial liberals who want to tear the world is the new group of graduates is the flavor right now. i don't agree with that aspect. we just don't see droves of liberals graduating and taking over. it's just not happening.
we all know kids who are recently graduated that do show a liberal side. how many of those same students over a few years lean right back in the other direction. once economics and family is involved, ideas that are important shift, and people leans towards a side. my wife is that perfect example. she went from rallying for obama while in college, to screaming, "thanks biden" any time the cost of eggs went up a nickel.
we don't engineer kids. we can direct them to be safe, smart, considerate, etc but we don't get to pick who they become. nor do colleges.

The Transsurrection and Marxist Armed Queers SLC Linked To Kirk Assassination: TRANS WOMEN ARE MEN.
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Posted
i don't think the shooters in either city were down played. i saw everything play out on common media. there didn't seem to be any question who they were to me at least. i also go to eastern universities for continuing ed. i see run of the mill common campuses. maybe we see completely different things through our own lenses. i'm not denying it exists at all, but i think were giving some college kids far too much credit on their political motivations. my head isn't in the sand over it, i just don't feel it's at the point were universities are programing their students in droves.
