I mean, Mac didn't say he admired his actions -- he's just misguided as to what actions require "balls".

I don't think we should take Mac's balls away, as terrible a take it was.

If SW gets this unhinged over semantics, the alphabet boys have probably been watching him for quite some time.

You know what I think would have taken balls? For this kid to tell someone he had fallen down a wormhole of hatred and that he was considering mass violence against innocent people who had done him no wrong.

To sit there and say that giving in to that hatred and carrying out such violence makes this asshole “not a pussy,” while not an explicit statement of admiration, is certainly implied. And to me, it’s straight-up sick and disturbing that someone would feel that way, much less express it out loud.

There's no courage here. Only mental illness, hatred, and death.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

K, you ever had a plan that will either result in your death or a lifetime in prison, and then went through with that plan? I understand the hatred. I share it. But pussy in the wrong word. And not a very woke term at all!
Wow. If anyone needed any more proof what a dog shit-filled dumpster fire of a human being macphisto is…

You do not need to believe in shit like that to have a hardline immigration position or policy. You do not need to accuse your perceived political opponents of a malicious plan to replace “real” Americans with “obedient” foreigners, in order to sell reduced immigration as a talking point. These things cannot be conflated.
:thumbsup:

Burt seemed uncharacteristically angry in your exchanges. I think you’re spot on.

It's an accurate distinction that makes no practical difference. You cannot separate the demographic impacts of immigration policy from political power plays in any meaningful way, particularly with our new intersectionality-first subculture gaining so much prominence in the Democratic party over the last few years.

Maybe you think that is good, maybe bad. Maybe you don't care and just want people to be happy. But it is, and so long as we center race within our politics we will see a rise in white identity politics alongside other groups. That rabbit is not going back in the hat.

I disagree on that. I don't think this guy was mentally ill, that's a cop-out to avoid our culture's responsibility in this. I think he was a true believer... which is far more terrifying.

This. Statistics say the mentally ill are more likely to be the victims of these acts than the shooters.

Now I will say, I strongly beleive that mental illnesses are hugely, bigly under-reported/under diagnosed/under treated. Improvements in what we reimburse physicians of mental illness and improvements in access would be worth everyone's while, but alas. Let's just give more people more guns and keep them scared of things.

That's fair enough, but I think all white supremacists are mentally ill ... some combination of depression, paranoia, narcissism, and masochism.

no, you are completely wrong about everything here. anyone who uses a gun against people who are unarmed are completely cowards, pussies, little bitches, whatever word you wanna use. his plan was to kill himself, he was too afraid of death at the moment to go through with it. that's b/c he's a cowardly pussy. you can spin this any way you want, like flat-earthers do, but this act has "PUSSY" stamped all over.

lol this is where this started? you sound like a dumb teenager trying to be edgy. do people in suicide cults have balls? how about people who kill other people over social media post? does that take balls? this isn't just a bad choice in words, you are a fucking weirdo. it doesn't "take balls" to be brainwashed into doing something destructive and cowardly, and if you think it does it's b/c you have such a warped sense of reality you can't relate to people anymore.

As long as it’s yours and not a woman’s body, right?

And as long as it’s some black kid’s grandma that got shot and not yours, right? Or would this guy be a paragon of courage to you even if your grandma was one of those that was shot and killed?
