Society/Culture Kyle Rittenhouse

[Taylor]

Oh lookie, Taylor is after a "gotcha".

Does everyone know yet that Rittenhouse didn't shoot any black people and didn't take a firearm across state lines?

There are a lot of people here who need to be slowly walked back to the land of facts.

Aristotle Pickett didn't fall for your gotcha, good on him.

 

[bourbons]

Yes. Maybe learn how violent humans are, take off your cultural relativism glasses and see how good it is here right now.

I agree, its great here. Great in plenty of other countries too.

Maybe lay off the news and action movies for awhile Tayls

You know you can just correct people without being so patronising? Nobody is really bothered by a straight correction with a decent source.

 

[Taylor]

Walking people back to facts requires starting where they are, so finding that out needs questions.

It's not all some game sherb.

Yeah, he only shot 3 white people. What a saint.

I'll keep an eye out for your protection of Australian values and way of life on bigfooty whenever the progressive machine decides it needs to distort the perspective of people again.

How often have people in this discussion said that Rittenhouse shot black people?

 

[Taylor]

Yeah, he only shot 3 white people. What a saint.

The not so subtle point I was making is that there were people here over a year after the event who were still parroting incorrect "facts" that they had based their perspective on.

The biggest unspoken fact from this case is that it looks like the rioters are packed full of criminals, some heinous criminals and not the sort of heroic revolutionaries that people hope they are when they put their emotional projection into them.

It explains why people are so firm on their position too, even this far along.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

I do remember that. There's now more guns in the community than there was prior to the buyback. I put it to you that our rate of mass shootings was dropping before, as was our murder rate, and has continued after on the same trajectory.

I see shootings as mental health issues and criminal issues - both of which we excel at here compared to the USA.

No not really. Everyone who is not a republican or in the disgraced NRA agrees that America has extreme gun laws.

And I'm sure you'll be here telling us everything is perfect and couldn't be any better than tthe way it is when someone has the audacity to call for social change in Australia.

 

[Taylor]

How often have people in this discussion said that Rittenhouse shot black people?

You can look back only a couple of weeks and you'll see it.

 

[Chief]

Yeah, he only shot 3 white people. What a saint.

Reminds of Arnie in True Lies when his wife asks him if he’s killed anybody.

“Yes but they were all bad!”

 

[Taylor]

No not really. Everyone who is not a republican or in the disgraced NRA agrees that America has extreme gun laws.

Their gun laws, particularly in places like California were about taking guns out of the hands of black men. Look it up.

It's racist rubbish.

Jesus christ

Did you have an average weekend or something luv?

 

[Chief]

How often have people in this discussion said that Rittenhouse shot black people?

I thought one of them was black.

This is apparently a position I needed to be gently walked back from by a superior intellect.

 

[Taylor]

Jesus christ

I'm doing great, living in the best country in the world in the best time to live. It's worth being passionate about protecting.

 

[Taylor]

It didn't take a superior intellect, just an ability to read, or listen, or watch a video. All of which is available.

And it should be done respectfully to bring people along on any issue.

 

[Taylor]

No, that's not true. I've not seen a single person say Rittenhouse shot black folks. This is just a super convenient strawman for you to fall back on.

Is true.

 

[SSwans2011]

I'm doing great, living in the best country in the world in the best time to live.

By what metrics?

 

[sherb]

You can look back only a couple of weeks and you'll see it.

But how often have people said it? How many people have said it?

How widespread was this false statement?

I can't recall it being said.

I'm sure you can dig up plenty of examples.

Over to you.

Ooof. The covid thread on the conspiracy board would like a word, we're pretty much North Korea apparently.

Off you go. Get over there and sort 'em out, oh passionate values warrior!

This little tangent is quite bizarre I must say

 

[Chief]

And the fact didn’t actually impact my position anyway.

 

[Taylor]

By what metrics?

Lifestyle. Social benefits. Income. Safety. Happiness.

The #1 person here was saying it. There were news reports still repeating it.

Again, the biggest story here is that criminals and heinous criminals at that are what are drawn to the riots. Not heroes. Not good people.
