    JFC you're a fragile snowflake. That's a whole lot of words complaining that people didn't find your joke funny.

    There's multiple mods in this thread, none of whom have done anything to stop you posting anything. Free speech runs both way and you're free to make shitty jokes, and people are equally free to let you know why it reminds them of shitty people.

    Using his logic, none of what he says has any impact.

    So he's just jerking off.

    overtly... probably not.

    on the other hand his flat out denial of historic and present institutional racism, rejection of any and all reconciliatory efforts, clear statements against anti fascists/racists (along with "fantasy" threats) don't do much to dispel the appearance.

    hell, even the "beep-bop-boop" thing sends a pretty clear message about his opinions on human equality.

    of course, he'll simply hide behind never saying or revealing anything he can't back away from with a logical fallacy or further misrepresentation.

    such things are more common than most people realize. I expect there's a non-zero possibility some of them have posted something that implied they thought it was an acceptable choice somewhere before they actually did it.

    Careful @Ancalagon you're starting to make Antifa look like an organization which we know that can't possibly be true because people like you have told me so.

    Antifa has been around for a long time. My grandfather was in it. It's just that back then, they called it "the U.S. Army."

    False. You have no objective basis for that
    Dishonest "interpretation" of something.

    No, the message is my disdain for people who think they get to dictate terms.

    You believe it by default and expect me to prove my innocence. Fuck yourself right in the face.

    I clicked on porn of a girl with purple tips in her hairdo earlier and it nearly put me off my stroke due to the mental association with UA.

    Luckily I had FakeTaxi queued up in another tab just in case.

    It was one sentence up. :shrug:
    Forgive me for leaving out the transphobes.
    That was sloppy of me.
    UA doesn't just human-shield racists, he does it for transphobes too.
    There, happy now?

    He has a point. A shield made of belly pork isn't going to block much except people hungry for Asian food.

    to be someone else's shield would require self sacrifice.

    It is just so very courageous to expect sacrifice on someone else's behalf.

    Well, his shtick of making threads about CHUD celebrities about himself certainly draws fire away from his heroes, and to himself.
    But, yeah, that could just be about his ego, and accidentally shielding.
    It's kind of Dayton-y now that I think of it.

    Did you go to a meeting right off the interstate (meaning it was just folks like you knocking out court mandated treatment) or did you go to a real group?

    Okay, cool. And did you pay attention?

    Did they explain to you how all Twelve Step programs work?

    How each meeting is an independent group? That selects its own leadership, makes its own rules for membership (some are only sober folks, some only require you to want to be sober, some just to use less, some allow friends and family, etc. etc.) and even selects its own governance rules and documents (AA, NA, Refuge Recovery [Buddhist/Mindfulness], SMART Recovery [atheist] and a half million other groups that either align with larger groups or not) and that ANYONE can found a recovery group?

    Heck you and I could found a recovery group right here, right now, LOL!

    So since they hopefully explained all that to you since you weren’t there just to tick off attendance for your judge you know how stupid it would be for someone to claim that AA was an actual top down organization. That ‘AA said this’ or ‘AA did that’. Because you know that all AA is is just a collection of people organized into autonomous, self funded groups that share some but not all principles with other autonomous groups that sometimes put themselves under the same umbrella (AA, 12 Step, etc) but sometimes don’t.

    You get that right?
