Re: Mark Waid talking Comicsgate.
You want a definition of alt-right?
alt-right - has nothing actually to do with right-wing politics or principled conservatism. A shallow ideology based around "owning the libs" and denying victory to their rivals, sjw's. One half of a zero-sum rhetorical game that poorly apes political discourse, played out wherever the internet allows public posts and comments.

Re: Mark Waid talking Comicsgate.
That's the key point. Anyone who views the increase in one group of people as a necessary decrease in another group of people is forcing a "zero-sum rhetorical game" into a system that doesn't require it.Chiclo wrote:You want a definition of alt-right?

There really is a whole lot of life that changes when people realize that one person's gain is not another person's loss.

Re: Mark Waid talking Comicsgate.
And yet here you are. Cut and paste rhetoric is all you currently know. Come back when you can do more than parrot the *SQUEE* you’ve read that reinforces what you believe.TheFerg714 wrote:You're just a fountain of oxymoron aren't you? One sentence you're saying that I'm being sophomoric, the next you're using curse words. But don't worry, I'm done. It's hard to take someone seriously that throws around terms like "alt-right" like you understand what it means. I would LOVE to hear your explanation for how D&C and I are alt-righters, but sadly I don't think you're the type of person who would answer a straight-forward question like that. Just stick to what you do best: completely ignoring arguments that don't fit your narrative and turning everyone you disagree with into strawmen.X-O HoboJoe wrote:Look! I have another puppet.TheFerg714 wrote:I just think it's adorable that after multiple angry comments you can just change your tune to "Oh, I was just messing around, I swear!"

Look, I’m not ignoring the issue, just the alt-right little *SQUEE* like Meyer and yourself who have it wrong. But feel free to keep arguing in a sophomoric vein. It’s all you got besides *SQUEE*.

Re: Mark Waid talking Comicsgate.
And in full disclosure, I do have a dog in this hunt. I just don’t want to get my neener-neener club card cancelled.
So Greg, what do you consider weird?

That is easily one of the worst apologetics ever.Chiclo wrote:He can always use ungodly men to godly ends.greg wrote:Jesus is so proud of America.Chiclo wrote: IF DONALD TRUMP CAN MAKE A PORN STAR PAY HIM TO CHEAT ON HIS WIFE THEN HE CAN BUILD A WALL.
"It was God's plan for that kid to shoot kindergartners in the face at Sandy Hook, and we shouldn't question God."
"We shouldn't assume that those ungodly hijackers weren't used by God at the twin towers on 9-11."
"It was for the greater holy benefit of the world when that square moustache guy in Germany..."
Nothing is too extreme under that mindset. It's the worst of all possible scapegoats.
It is Godwin's Law and begging the question combined.
Throw in Kathy Bates and references to the Debbil, and we can start the Church of Trump the Father, Trump the Son, and Trump the Holy Waterboy.
