The left just doesn't get it

[supermike80 1,285]

YOU created this mess  YOU!!!!  This wasn't some aberration..this was a long running, building travesty brought on by the left and the left tinged media.

You can't cry about it now, and you especially can't cry about it when it actually hits close to you.   Sorry.  This is what you wanted

[Strike 3,964]

In the article they mention old SNL skits like John Belushi's Samurai character.  Is it coincidental that SNL was 100 times funnier back when it was ok to use those types of stereotypes for the purpose of humor?

It's so Pol Pot-ish in the way they are acting....its pretty frightening.

I agree and it's their 'P.C. neutral' culture they've created. The guy says all that sh!t about gheys and asians) a mere 8 months ago and thought he'd get a pass on that?

In nearly all of these cases I blame the employee / company. There will always be a small loud contingent of ass holes. When you buckle to them, you give them way more power than they really have.

What I found humorous in the article is that people who disagreed with Spade, and the others, was that this incident happened 8 months ago.  They point out that it wasn't 15 years ago or that the scenes involving Belushi were many decades older.  Implying that if it were that long ago, this guy wouldn't have been fired.  LOL  Yeah, because the Left has never went back a decade and a half or even much older to try and fry someone.

So focking what?  It's one specific incident.  But it was the foerseeable progression of policies you would support.  Hence the "You created this mess" comment.  And clearly the title is correct - "The Left just doesn't get it" as you have just demonstrated.  I mean, it sure as hell isn't the ideology of Trump supporting rednecks that got us to this point.

Sorry. If you support a progressive tax policy, environmental protections, single payer healthcare etc. you are part of this “side” and therefore responsible.

So goes the logic of the GC.

This.

There is a tilt toward this that the left ignores out of immediate gratification and convenience.  They are playing to the immature, the young, the partially educated.

These people demand immediate gratification, their "needs" ebb and flow with the situation, they have no longer term vision...they are kids who have not yet grown up.....so their decisions have outcomes that swing unexpectedly.....

I posted in one of the threads about athletic organizations allowing transgendered to compete.  Some libs are finally realizing that's a bad thing because it will ultimately destroy women's athletics.  But what I posted about was the problem they created for themselves because if they acknowledge that letting transgendered compete in women's events is bad due to the physiology of those transgendered, then how can they say there is no difference when it comes to allowing those same transgendered to use the women's bathrooms/lockers?

Many liberal ideologies that don't pass the common sense test fail when scrutinized logically.  When they enact policy despite that the policy ultimately fails due to the logic that reasonable people tried to talk in to the libs before they passed it.  You're seeing it in Europe now with refugees and immigration.  Yet, the libs here still don't see the light on that topic.

SNL is dead anyway. Unfunny women, unfunny black people, unfunny white people.   Still a place for sketch comedy somewhere, but not on network TV or basic cable.

I think the difference is we on “the left” (which is really the center but many Geeks are so far right they have no idea) can separate out our support and identify our crazies. I support the things you reference but the g0ddamn social justice warriors are lunatics who should be ignored. Imagine if the righties were capable of taking the same approach vis-a-vis Trump and the white nationalists.

Nice try. The news media reports on your "crazies" as the rank and file, while they report on the right's "crazies" as "crazies".  Your own people lump you all together.

It makes no sense?  It's exactly what happens.  EVERY MSM news outlet for the last 40 years have been saying how horrible, racist, whatever... Republican's are and how noble and great the Democrats are.  The media and the leaders of the Democrat party glorify and praise the SJW's.  They've been doing that for decades.  The guys above nailed it.  Liberals just don't get it.  Worms, you're probably a normal person who's more left of center, but you're caught up being forced to vote for the far left.  What you're missing is that the right isn't moving right... the left is moving so far left, that even the centrist right's are considered far right to you.

 

If you want things to get done, the way you want them too, you need to vote Republican.  Shut down the far left so that the centrist lefts can be restored as the vocal majority.

I assume you want a more progressive tax policy than the one currently in place.  If a more progressive tax policy is adopted will we also adopt progressive services?

I’m just here to comment on the assumption that anybody to the left of center is required to “own” this sort of SJW pitchfork mob. That’s like assuming every Republican believes Adam and Eve rose dinosaurs in the Garden of Eden.

The big difference... Conservative politicians, leaders, or media do NOT promote, condone, or glorify the far righties.  Their agenda is to stay where they're at, NOT push far right.  Meanwhile, the Liberal politicians, leaders, and media DO promote, condone, and glorify the far lefties.  Their agenda IS to move in that direction.

 

Voting Democrat right now, is saying that "Far Left is the direction I want to move in".
