If you haven't figured it out yet, boogie is extremely butt hurt off the entire existence of this thread.

Butt hurt?  I'm not hurt at all.  I enjoy this thread and look forward to its continuation.

30-year-old man rips MAGA hat off 16-year-old kids head and throws a soda in his face. Tough guy.

Reading comments on various sites about this story, a lot of leftists equating MAGA to a swastika and saying the kid deserved it. Give me a damn break.

It's interesting, isn't it?

On one hand, a group will say that a symbol is just a symbol, and as such, they should not be assailed for how they display or observe it (kneeling for the flag, for example).

On the other hand, those same people will argue that a symbol is, itself, an assault on someone else, and they have the right to assail the person displaying or observing that symbol (red MAGA hats).

And, per usual, those who usually oppose these people have the reverse reactions in both examples, making them every bit as hypocritical.

Can we just get some consistency, please?

Exactly why people argue that it is not ok to punch a nazi. The people who think it's ok to punch a nazi are typically the same people who have slowly moved the goalposts to identify ANY conservative as a nazi.   Applying this logic, they now think this type of behavior is ok.   One of these days someone is going to fuck with the wrong person and get shot.  It's only a matter of time.

No argument there. Kneel during the anthem, wear a MAGA hat, be a free American.

Yep.

Step 1 - Declare it's okay to assault Nazi's (it's not)

Step 2 - Define anyone that disagrees with as a Nazi (they're not)

Step 3 - ???

Step 4 -

I love how it takes 4-5 of his buddies to drag his limp body off the pavement.

This is a few days old, and maybe I missed mention of it in the thread, but Rand Paul (and his family) was threatened with murder by axe by some lunatic.

How can there be women's body parts? Gender is a social construct.

So, apparently, Facebook flagged and removed a section of the Declaration of Independence that was posted by a Texas newspaper. It reinstated the section the next day. But what the algorithms pick up on was the section where it said "Indian savages", considering it hate speech.

So the people of Chicago shut down a portion of their highway to protest “gun violence”. Maybe you should get your shit together in your own city before you try protesting something nationally you morons.

Wait. I thought people are always saying what about Chicago? Why don’t they rally against gun violence? I’m not a fan of blocking highways, but this seems like an example of what people were asking for many times on this board

I’m looking for the “what happened before the video?” Train. Where is the “well there must be more to it?” Funny how when a unarmed black gets assaulted or killed we need the whole video, but we take this at face value
