Scott Adams on Republicans and Democrats

[Zundfolge]

I'm with you Skip on this. I'm really not a fan of Adams for the very reasons outlined by Skip...he's projecting leftist "values" and behavior - hate, intolerance, divisiveness, racism, etc - on to the right. He does it in a way that makes people think he's middle of the road, thought provoking, reasonable, etc. Maybe it's just me, but I don't buy it.

Well he is a liberal/leftist/Democrat who is slowly allowing himself to be "red-pilled" so I cut him a little slack. He'll get there

For example, I have yet to see the Conservative version of this...

And you won't ... because every aspect of her world view, every bit of what she thinks she knows about how the world works is straight up ignorant ... conservatives aren't stupid like this sad little BLM chick. She honestly believes that 1) whitey is holdin' her down (instead of her own poor choices) and 2) that "whyte people" (apparently white leftists) are about to be "oppressed" by Trump (when in truth if he's successful ALL Americans will be MORE FREE and LESS OPPRESSED and generally better off afterward).

There is no "conservative version" of her ... there is a "Whyte Version" of her though ... those dumbass skinheads I was talking about before.

I'd actually feel sorry for her if it wasn't for the condescending racism of her video.

I believe that Scott Adams probably chose that specific scenario because of who he is speaking to, which is not conservatives. It almost doesn't matter that "conservatives" don't fall into that narrative, because it is what many liberals (not all) believe. When trying to change someone's beliefs, one must sometimes start the conversation inside that fantasy land and lead the audience back to reality.

Or maybe that's all BS. I'm on the fence.

This thought process had crossed my mind, especially after reading the article about Scott ending his generous donations to Berkeley after the nonsense that occurred over Milo. I could be completely off track however.

Jeez, there are racists on the left and right. There racist whites, blacks, asians, latinos, martians, etc. It certainly isn't political party specific.

Leftists just tend to act out more, like children on tantrums, making laughable videos, burning shit, smashing windows and spitting on cops.

^ Yep. The most overtly racist person I've known was a Japanese woman. She was most outspoken about her disdain for other non-Japanese Asians, but also often made disparaging remarks (today I guess they'd be called microaggressions) about Hispanics, blacks, and whites.

Maybe my experiences have been different from others here, but the racists I met growing up in MI (mix of KKK, skinheads and neo-nazis) were definitely on the conservative side of the political spectrum. And I knew at least 2 guys in the Army who were adamant Christians that said it was God's will that white men should always be in charge of this country. I have to imagine both of them had aneurysms when Obama was elected.

I can see that 0thought process but I still question his goalpost placement. It wasn't "a Conservative said something racist/nasty and was shouted down by other Conservatives." It was extreme and seemed casual, as if this would be an everyday occurrence without the hidden hand.
