Do u believe Donald Trump is to blame for the recent shootings in the US ? 🤔

As it stands today. It appears that Trump has emboldened these White Nationalists to commit these acts of terror. The recent events in our world today says everything. You saw the shootings in Texas and Ohio. White Nationalism, or nationalism from any ethnic group or race is the problem here. If we do not call it for what it is this tragedy will never end. Something needs to be done. But these racist comments from Trump must end. What do you think. 😐

Love him or hate him, Trump is a symptom of larger problems. So are neo nazis. Both have their reasons to exist. They are mainly a reaction to divisive leftist, neo marxist politics. If you spend years shitting on and excluding white men for the color of their skin, why expect anything else? I simply see the current state of affairs as feminism and cultural marxism finally imploding, because these ideologies are unsustainable and have no more resources to use up, because they don't create. They only destroy. This is why America is fucked.

@SW-User The biggest problem in the US is leftism and the demoncraps. Trump is simply shoveling their crap against the tide. Sadly you are part of the tide.

Really now?
Or was it overdramatisation of people with a conservative mindset. And in their overdramatisation, made charicatures of their enemies? And that we are slowly moving to a point where enough people started to believe their own bullshit?
SW-User
@hippyjoe1955 Correct. I'm not a fan of people who don't deliver on their promises. Trump is no exception. Do what you say and say what you'll do.
SW-User
@Kwek00 Nah, look at the shit that goes on at college campuses and tell me we don't live in a circus. Nothing about PC culture is healthy or normal.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@SW-User At what college campusses? What are your sources for that?
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@SW-User So did you hear about the cleanup bee held in Baltimore over the weekend? Conservatives got together and hauled out a whole lot of trash. Someone paid for the dumpsters out of their own pocket. Others simply help fill the dumpsters with trash. Funny how the liberals like to complain but never fix the problem isn't it? If you want a job done call a conservative. If you want someone to whine about the problem call a liberal.
SW-User
@Kwek00 Literally all of them. Go read the news. Look at the riots at Berkeley, and crap like that. Look at the stuff that happened in January of 2017. Entitled, far left extremists feel it's okay to light things on fire and smash up other people's property because their feefees were hurt. It's ridiculous.

@SW-User You think the news covers ALL of them?

Or do you watch the extremes, and in your head started to believe that these extremes are the "norm".
SW-User
@SW-User You cite divisiveness as a problem then blame one side for all of the country's problems. If you can't see how your own side contributes to the divisiveness that is destroying this country, you are part of the problem, spewing tribalist bullshit.
SW-User
@hippyjoe1955 I think you think I'm a liberal. You know, not everyone you disagree with is a liberal, right boomer? This is why I'm not a part of your Trump cheerleading squad. You don't think for yourself. Cleaning up trash in some hellhole has about as much relevance to this conversation as the price of pig shit in Pennsylvania. You can bring dumpsters to Baltimore but you can't bring bricks to the southern border, now can you?
SW-User
@SW-User I hate both sides. I think Democrats are traitors and Republicans are cowards who play by the rules of the traitors. It's cancer from top to bottom. What now?
SW-User
@SW-User I think both sides of full of shit too. Doesn't mean I think centrism is the answer, but I certainly don't think tribalism is the answer. Tribalism will lead to another civil war. You'd think these ideological attacks would compel people to tone it down before we get to that point, but with the way things are going, I don't hold out much hope.
@SW-User "I have kept more promises than I have made." WTH does that mean ? Trump tells American farmers in Nashville, Tennessee, in a speech on Monday, Jan. 8, 2018. at 6:20 pm, "You are so lucky that I gave you the privilege of voting for me." The guy that has also said,
" Your favorite President... ME."
SW-User
@SW-User Well, civil war is what you get when half the country won't accept a democratically elected president. Again, all these things are symptoms of larger cultural issues.
SW-User
@SW-User War (of any kind) is what you get when you dehumanize people who see the world differently from you.
SW-User
@SW-User Sort of like how white men have been alienated and dehumanized by leftists? I mean I'm not sure what your point is here.
SW-User
@SW-User My point is that you're part of the problem and you don't see it. Your blaming of "leftists" for everything is the same bullshit you see from the left who blame everything on Trump, white nationalists, evangelicals, etc. "Cultural Marxism" is not even a real thing; it's a neo-reactionary conspiracy theory. It's as substantive as leftists who rant about the "patriarchy" and "rape culture". It's buzzwords. It's nonsense.

If you think white men are the only people in our society who are angry and upset with the way things are, you don't know a lot of non-white men.
SW-User
@SW-User I live in Detroit. I know exactly what the problems are. Not only does cultural marxism exist, it's rampant in the big cities. It divides and isolates people. Calling something you don't like a conspiracy theory is something a cultural marxist would do.

And no, I'm not part of the problem. You are. All I have to say is that I'm not giving you any canned food when shit goes south. You're on your own.
SW-User
@SW-User You don't seem to have much knowledge of any problems other than your own. On and on about "white men" but not accounting for anyone else's problems. As if black men, women, everyone else is just sitting pretty, so happy with the way the country is going right now because they're trampled on white men. Yeah, they're all on the top, for sure, on cloud 9.

Calling something that's non-existent non-existent is what someone like me would do. Cultural marxism is Ben Shapiro/Breitbart-fueled division, the same way the nonsense of "rape culture" is pepetuated by leftist outlets. There are problems, but these are easy labels people use to get out of looking inward. It's "they're the enemy, I'm the victim". Tribalism, vicitimization, it's the same on both sides of the aisle. Someone who truly hates both sides (or by that I mean recognizes the BS of both sides) can see this. You claim to, but you're not seeing it.

No, my friend, you will be the one on your own. You will burn in the mess you've created and helped perpetuate. But just in case
you're not, I will be the one sharing the food.

I see you blocked me, you fat white turd. 😂

@SW-User And please show me where there is this exclusion of White Men. 🤔

@hippyjoe1955 The biggest problem is people and their wickedness. Party aside here. 🙂
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Zonuss Unfortunately one side wants to wallow in evil and the other wants to get rid of it. Nice of you to show your lack of insight.
SW-User
@Zonuss Yep. As long as you keep only blaming one side, you're missing the point and part of the problem. Can't stress that enough. If you can't see beyond party lines, beyond race, religion, whatever it is, then you're just amplifying the division and it's the division that's eating away at this country, like it did back in the 1960s. We overcame that (at least for the most part), so I'm not saying "apocalypse" but it's not looking good right now.

@SW-User
Sort of like how white men have been alienated and dehumanized by leftists?

What is your evidence for that?
And what is "the left" , that's like everything left from center?

How generalising can you get?
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@Zonuss

And perception.
To manny people generalised stereotypes and lifted bad examples wich jump in your eye to "the norm". If you start doing that, before you know it, you live in an unnuanced perception of reality.

Watch your thoughts, they become words;
Watch your words, they become actions;
Watch your actions, they become habits;
Watch your habits, they become character;
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
