    I don't think FF and UA are all the way into the evil part of it.
    But they drink the Kool-Aid of those who peddle it.
    The anti-SJW sources they read/watch go as far as "it's not social justice, it's....something bad :calli:".
    They don't go all the way.
    But that's what they're dog whistling.
    FF and UA lap it up cuz "the liberals must be UP to something..:calli: :chris:".

    I missed (didn't see) your point the first time, but if you really think I'm mischaracterizing "culling junkies" or any of the million other things he's said from denying the existence of various "isms" to telling people to take crumbs or nothing AND to be grateful, then I got nothing that'll make it clearer for you.

    Then that is a post you need to take up with UA or FF. Not me. If you missed the point of my post, ask me for clarification. But, don’t expect me to answer for either. Or defend for that matter.

    One last time. If you have an issue with something UA or FF posted, take it up with them. If you want clarification on my point, ask THAT question.

    You asked how anyone can be against social justice.
    That's how.
    The answer is depressing, but there it is.

    you're the one who brought this tangent forth, starting at post #689 and then kept it going.

    prior to that we were all having fun with FF based on what he was spewing, including you.

    Again, the point of my original post on this tangent was that just because you would phrase something one way and someone else phrases it differently, doesn’t necessarily mean they mean the opposite. Hell, just this tangent proves that. Instead of asking for clarification, you assumed I meant something completely different, then tried arguing with me about something I never said.

    sigh... go back and reread. starting with Nova's post
    I've responded to your questions that have been directed to me with the info/perceptions you asked for ever since this whole thing started here.

    You brought UA and your relationship with him into this discussion, and then asked for comparison to Mrs.

    I haven't missed your point, you've simply yet to make one

    Given how far Wordforge has moved toward being a leftist echo chamber, I can see how it would seem that way to you.

    Sorry I don’t know how to embed it all pretty.

    As for UA, he’s more complex than he lets on. He’s surprisingly brilliant for someone who comes across so rigid in his views. It’s the red room and he’s a private person, so no need to get into details but I will say that to this day, he is the only man in the world that I genuinely trust.

    How can you even say that with a straight face? In what fucking world is the cadre of posters still left here best described as "leftist"?

    God forbid we don't privatize the National Parks and gun down immigrants at the border. I suppose we must all be bleeding-heart liberals for it.

    Please, if we want negative attention from you, all we have to do is suggest something like having to show ID to use a shopping cart (because someone murdered a guy with one) and you'll throw a major strop about us infringing your rights.

    You could of course disprove my incorrect assumption by pointing to all those times you took Republicans and right-leaning posters to task over the years. If those times existed...

    They don't. In fact, once he no longer owned the board, he became the biggest asshole (toward me) on the board. So, if anyone on the board is disingenuous with their posts, it's Lanz.

    When I grew up, some idiot kids in my home town threw a shopping cart out of the top floor of the high rise they lived in, and some poor guy happened to just leave the building in the wrong moment.

    So yes.
