(42,649 posts)52. What is happening here?
Trotsky's response to another poster:
This is greatly appreciated.
Especially by many of us who have literally been called "demons" because of our more vocal approach to criticizing religion.

8. Surely you have that link.
No actual link was provided in this thread:

Later in the same thread, Trotsky wrote:
Make sure to keep labeling those you don't like as "the other," cbayer.
Reject the label we choose to apply to ourselves, while admonishing anyone who uses a label in a way you don't like.
Keep pretending that a bunch of evil demons ruin everything, and make sure to bash them whenever you can. Call them demons, too, that will help for sure. Be sure to act the same way you accuse them of acting, but pretending you're wonderful.
I think that if you would stop acting like such a bossy hypocrite (note to inevitable jury who will be convened to judge this post: I didn't call her a bossy hypocrite, I'm just comparing her actions to one), you might find that yes indeed, change IS possible.
But continue ignoring me and thinking there's absolutely nothing wrong with you accusing another DUer of proposing genocide and laughing it off as "hyperbole" yet hinting that yet another DUer is mentally unstable or violent for using the expression "going for the jugular."

Again, no proof was offered for the accusation.
SO yes, some of us do know what is happening here, and why.

I just like seeing him further drag his own reputation and credibility down into the shitpile.

None of our anti-mask laws mention any group; and 14-12.7 is written in great generality

Yes, you must have been obviously confused since you didn't distinguish between them.

The law provides an exception for religious symbols that are part of the heritage

And should we also be intolerant if a group of athists demonstrates intolerance?
