Right Wing Activist Warns of Armed Rebellion If Genuine Patriots Don't Win in 2022

[Revoltingest]

Yeah, so, that was in response to Rev equating Jan.6 to BLM protests, not my actual position.

This is a gross misrepresentation of my post.
But quoting me wouldn't have served the
mischievous purpose of creating this straw man.

I notice that you posted this without alerting me.
I suppose that's one way to feel like having won
an argument....to hide it from me. Same for the
other guy. But I see all.

You're still at this? That's quite inaccurate.
I only stated that government should address
right wing & all other potentially violent threats.
This must've offended because of tacit approval
of left wing violence.

Tacit approval? On whose part?

Only if you conflate riot with actual insurrection and sedition.

 

[Revoltingest]

He's operating very much like the stereotypical creationist

Odd...I was thinking the same of your posts, which attempt
to win a straw man argument because of inability to address
what I actually posted. But I wasn't going to go there.
And all in defense of left wing violence by requiring that only
right wing violence be discussed. That is so wrong.

 

[Revoltingest]

Tacit approval? On whose part?

@Jose Fly.
Such strenuous & misplaced objection to....
"It makes sense for a continued vigil against potentially
violent extremists...these guys & all others."
....bespeaks tacit approval of violence by "all others",
which has been falsely taken to mean BLM.

Why else would there'd be overwrought objection
to the addition after the ellipses? And with silence
on leftish violence. Tacit approval this appears to be.

 

[Revoltingest]

I addressed violence specifically.
To say that this makes riots & insurrection
equivalent is an utterly ****** inference.

I'm going to make one final point here to illustrate your dishonesty.

In the first page of this thread, which was about a specific threat from a right-wing activist, you posted the following...

"It makes sense for a continued vigil against
potentially violent extremists...these guys
& all others."​

...to which I replied...

"Of course, but this is not a bothsiderism issue at the moment."​

So as we can see, I agreed with you that we should stay vigilant against all violent extremists ("Of course"). Now compare that with how you've since tried to depict me.

"Still excusing leftish violence"​

"someone in denial of tacit approval of violence from the left"

"in defense of left wing violence by requiring that only right wing violence be discussed"​

I'll just let that speak for itself, and I am now done with this nonsense. I suggest you try and do better in the future.

What is a "genuine patriot"?

Hiw do they differ from a regular patriot?

From what I've seen from these folks, it means white, Christian, and far-right conservative. So if you're something other than those things, even though you may call yourself a "patriot", you're not a "genuine patriot".

I've spent time around these folks, both IRL and online. It's rather eye-opening.

And what of us unpatriots?
Neither traitor nor patriot, we're being ignored.

A regular patriot in this context would be someone who sits on the sidelines, despite their beliefs.
A genuine patriot will heed Scott Lively's call to arms, jump in his pickup (the one with the confederate flag and gun rack, presumably) and take action to defend the American way.

The most important thing is that they jump to action, though. There's no time for thinking or reflection. In fact, genuine patriots don't think at all. Ever.

A proposition I generally agree with. I wonder if we can make a clause for treason to be exempt from this?

That leads to what is the American way?
If many Americans don't agree with it, how can it be the American way?

You're thinking. You'll never be a genuine patriot at this rate.

(Serious answer : they are jingoistic battle cries, not a genuine love of all things truly American)
