    Certainly. Everyone is welcome to their views. Doesn't mean those views won't be challenged. I know I have had to defend mine quite a bit. Comes with the territory of posting in a forum.

    This is why us as people must dialogue amongst ourselves. Instead of “you are an idiot, i saw it/read it! You are harmful to society, you are evil, you are a nazi, you are a libtard,” we need more of “here is what I found on the topic. Have you found something different? Lets compare and analyze together and see which line of info has the most truth to it.”

    This is all ive been trying to say. Hatred just creates more hatred. So many smart people here and it saddens me so much so so many want to try to make me out as some bad guy defending bigotry, when im not at all. Im simply saying we, as commoners need to come together and discuss what we are seeing and go over the details so us as a whole are unified on the truth. Echo chambers do not do this. It takes both sides to come together to compare the differences they find in the info, research it and discover which has more validity. He have got to stop reading headlines and then lash out at those who see the headline differently than we do.
    Yall make me sad that most of you cant really say, “I agree with some of that, but not this, and here is why…” without taking it personal, trying to paint me as harmful to society for expressing what i believe is the need for more dialogue and less anger.
    Many talk about aggressive, angry, hateful words having consequences, yet use very degrading and negative statements to me and each other without a clue, the very behavior many despise is what many are helping spread.

    I'm just shaking my head in sadness really that this is not a place to be able to discuss ones opinion of how we can get better without such negative backlash.
    The hypocrisy is so astounding…

    You dont think most peolle on FB are reading truncated statements, misleading quotes and coming to conclusion without doing thorough research? Read the comments to those posts. Most clearly show alliance or defiance based off a headline tweet. No scrutiny. If it false in line with what they believe, they push it as fact.
    This is absolutely happening en mass.

    Now this is where you take shit out of context, like the last sentence. I never said taking the Vaccine was bad did I? and in fact Rogan never said that, so don't go twist words. Funny stuff.

    I said it depends on the persons age and health prior to getting covid, and from first hand experiences know someone that passed from a vaccine shot. Now that is facts!

    Everything I've read about him so far is that he was a normal college dropout who talked about not liking Charlie Kirk at the dinner table one night. Nothing about being far left or far right. He might be the first genuine radical centrist!

    I didn't see what he said, and whatever it was wouldn't have bothered me anyways.

    Someone must be super sensitive to get upset over words someone types about you over the internet that you will never see in your life.

    Maybe I'm old fashioned or thick skinned but it wouldn't have bothered me. But I respect you keeping things on a certain level here.

    I think we all have views, regardless if you think someone is wrong or right or whatever.

    Water under the bridge, there is more important things in life then to get upset or bothered by what someone thinks or says about you online.

    Spend time with your love ones and make each day count is more important imo

    I'm sure the FBI will get to the bottom of this, and that the official story will be accurate to the facts, without any agenda.

    I have already agreed with you that dialogue would be great. Discourse would be great. But, in this current climate, not just on here, but everywhere around the country it's near impossibility and that's sad.

    Name calling is sad. I'm not calling someone a Nazi unless they actually espousing those ideologies and that is and has happened. Those views are welcome and espoused by the current administration. That's a hard to set aside.

    I get not all people on the right subscribe to those ideologies. And for those people to be called Nazi is hurtful. Those idealogies are coming from the right. From people in the Republican party. So, people get angry at everyone in that party, because if you stay part of that party, then you aren't denouncing those idealogies. And it's not just Nazism.

    It would be beneficial for Republicans/conservatives who don't agree with those idealogies and such to stand up and say so. To speak out against them. I think that could bring more to the table in terms of having meaningful dialogue.

    Then there are are tenants of both parties that neither side will ever come to agreement on. Abortion vs Women's rights. Gay Marriage. The Rights of the LBTGQ community. Healthcare. Helping people out of poverty. Etc.

    Can you see why people on the left are upset? Do you see the rights that have been taken away?

    What rights are the left taking away from the right? I don't know that there any terrible idealogies on the left other than the far far left which isn't even the left. It's just anarchists.

    The difference I see is one party jumped way across the spectrum while the other has stayed more towards the middle. There has been small movements to go further left for the Democratic party, but it hasn't really taken in the mainstream of the party.

    What are the bad idealogies? Socialism probably the big one huh? The desire for Universal healthcare? Income equality? Stuff like that?

    Whether it would have bothered you is neither here nor there. The rules are the rules and they are in place for a reason.

    Oh for sure. There is a lot of misinformation on there and people going along. I'm talking about outside of social media. I think most people are certainly questioning things and not taking things at face value.

    I sidestepped the inscriptions on the unused ammo because of my overall skepticism of the FBI's official narrative. I actually just learned that "hey fascist, catch this!" is from a video game called Helldivers 2. So if that was actually real, it leans more into this being an apolitical hit. Like he would've been a mass shooter if someone he disliked wasn't speaking nearby. He was apparently suicidal when confronted by his dad.

    I'm glad he's no longer a groyper then. He was in 2018.

    Did you post evidence that I just didn't see earlier in this thread? I saw a post about a report of him being a groyper on Twitter, but never found any corroboration in the replies. Saw a photo of him wearing a tracksuit and crouching, which people are saying is an alt right meme, but it's been around since I joined SportsTwo.
