In the minority, but I find John Oliver histerical. Perhaps it's the British accent and the glasses, but he has a Monty Python-esque absurdity about him.

He was great in Community. But the guy gets a bit too political at times. I think that's where he loses people.

Bloodbaths are fine as long as they are adrenochrome bloodbaths. Elizabeth Báthory is making a comeback. Old dynastic habits die hard.

I have more ignores than I'd like but fuck them

I may be wrong, but aren't you a PatNet moderator?

Yes. I honestly don't like to moderate comments. Unless it's super aggressive. I live in a world of sarcasm, bull shitting and trolling (sometimes).

You piss me off at times, but that's your right. Everyone has pretty much pissed me off here including Patrick. I let Patrick and the others manage it for the most part. Spam is pretty much the only thing I push into the dumpster. Probably only 4-5 times in the past year.

Moderation is a tricky line to balance on as a moderator. I don't want to be accused of censoring anyone. Doxxing is a huge no no for me, but I don't think that's happened in years here. The crew here is pretty solid despite differences, at least I think so. You piss me off with Ukraine and I like your take on EV's and Tesla.

We can't all have the same opinions on everything. What fun would that be? I don't like echo chambers.

WookieMan says

Yes. I honestly don't like to moderate comments.

Then why are ignores allowed on you?

To the point where they will justify almost any atrocity committed against that group. I believe in every case these individuals have never actually met or gotten to know anyone from this group they hate so much.

You don't have to meet them, and sometimes you clearly can't as it's impossible, impractical and you've got your own things to take care of. Doesn't mean you aren't entitled to forming an opinion on facts. You could have never met a black person in the US but could form a opinion based in the fact they commit more crimes per capita (of course there are differences within the heritage, culture, social status etc.). Same goes for this conflict. Hamas has been hurling rockets ever since, add on the atrocities of the last incident and they will get payback. And of course there will be collateral damage. I'm pretty critical of Israel's policies but I can clearly see the point people are making on here on both sides, and it's certainly not blind hate. It's at least a tad bit similar to the Ukraine conflict, where there have been constant aggressions against the Russians in the contested independent regions, for many years. And people are surprised when finally a conflict breaks out? Please..

NuttBoxer says

These attitudes are exactly what led to the rise of Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, etc.

There's a big difference here, those tyrants had all of the bad asses and ass kickers on their side. America is being wrung through a tyrannical wringer, and it's the low intelligent free loaders going along with it. None of those historical tyrants listed above, could have pulled it off with gender confused adult infants that is the American Democrat party. They are the ones that hate us and America so bad to the point, everything is upheaval and turmoil. Just look at their art, every last bit of it is satanic, dystopian, futile, unhappy, devoid of classic story telling. These people are not only knuckle dragging idiots, they are mentally ill as well. To classify our displeasure with that lot, as the same kind of hate, is really short sighted on your part, if you can't see the difference.

I also am tired of all of the Hate and Hate projection from the Left. I would love nothing more than for it to stop. But it probably wont until there's a bloodbath.

I think it's pretty clear the point I'm making is hatred isn't based on facts at all, just emotion, fueled by propaganda. The one exception I could possibly think of is pedophiles. But that's neither religious, ethnic, nor national. In your example(ethnic), you quickly added a number of caveats, because you don't hate blacks.

You don't have objective facts about the Middle East. The information you've cited isn't even close to as black and white as you think. And if you don't want to learn why, I'll refer you back to the OP...

They took advantage of a radicalized environment to prey on people's irrational hatred of certain groups. Most of the "ass-kickers" you refer to are the ones who later said they were "just following orders". I've seen documentaries of former Tuel Sleng guards literally saying this excuse, or that they feared if they didn't comply, worse would happen to them.

The VAST majority are not sociopaths. But with no moral foundation, people can easily slip into justifying the worst atrocities. Maybe that's really what I'm really pointing out, that's we're losing our way morally. Moving further from God, and closer to Satan.

Noone yet has been held accountable for masking kids, forcing an experimental and ineffective yet dangerous jab, closing schools and businesses over a cold, or banning effective meds like HCQ and Ivermectin. Look how many actually supported jailing or denying services to the unjabbed.

@Patrick I started this thread in hopes some of the people on this site would realize how destructive and un-American their hatred is. Hatred of Muslims, hatred of Russians, hatred of Palestinians. As I now have 10 people on the ignore list due to their support for murdering women and children because they can't let go of their NeoCon roots, I no longer see the point of frequenting this site.

The reason you were initially successful, you called out the truth about housing when almost no one else did. Your loyalty to the truth, no matter how unpopular your opinion, attracted the type of Americans who have always made this country great. But over time the site has morphed to a group of bitter old men, too attached to the system that is killing them to change. And thus you lash out at whatever the deep state can find to keep you distracted and divided.

This is the last social media site I participated in. To those of you who still seek the truth, look to Corbett, The Last American Vagabond, WeAreChange, Zerohedge, and still /r/conspiracy. And look to your neighbors, relative, family, and co-workers. We have more in common than you think, all of us.

To the rest, your hatred will destroy you, and leave you with regret I can only imagine. Your ego, worldview, and comfort are worth nothing next to the truth. Come back while you still can.

I will fight when the time comes. I hope many of you will join us. We only need 20%. That's all we needed a few hundred years ago, it's all we need today. I hope to see you all on the other side, as free men.

So what would you have us do? Loudly cheer every time Congress gives Ukraine another 20 billion dollars, and smile and shake the hands of the Military age Ukrainians that end up in Miami in a penthouse in a new high rise on the beach a few months later? I have done electrical work in Jumbo loan homes that were owned by 20 and 30 something Ukrainians that just came here to America a few months prior. Why is Ukraine our problem but not theirs? Why is my Tax dollars important to Ukraine but their citizens are allowed to bring untold wealth out of Ukraine and leave to greener pastures?

Are we supposed to just stay neutral every time the Shit fingers lobs rockets at Israel and kills innocent people, or flies in ultralights to slaughter kids at an outdoor festival?

More over, originally there were only 2 or 3 "NeoCon" right wingers on this site. I would say the vast majority registered Republicans on this site, has only registered as such since Trump's entrance into politics in 2015. But remember, he only ran as a Republican because Mitt Romney didn't want him to RFK Jr. his chances against Barak Obama in 2020. So he was told by the RNC that if he didn't run in 2012, as a booby prize they would let him run on the Republican ticket in 2016. It was an inside joke, the RINOs and NeoCons got a good chuckle out of it and thought nothing more of it. Trump ended up hijacking the Republican party because of folks like us, that did switch over to the Republican side. I have always voted for the Independent Presidential candidate. I have never liked the Uniparty neither candidate was worthy of my vote until Trump.
But understand, what if Obama had asked him not to run because it would have taken votes from him. Then Trump would have been the Democrat candidate in 2016, and all of newly minted Republicans would be Democrats.

I almost wish that were the case, I think the MAGA mindset in the Democrat party would have beaten back the Commies, retards and woksters.

Don't forget 99% of Democrats vote because there's a D next to their name. They would have been just vicious against the Woksters knocking Trump
as they are against us for knocking Biden.

I hate muslims and Putin and I feel fine.

Muslims are people, and they can potentially recover from being Muslim. But Islam as a religion is hopeless. It will always be about subjugating and murdering non-Muslims.

What about the hatred towards you from the factions you mention? And yes, you. Those people hate you. Remember where you live. Remember the main religions in the US. Remember the LGTBQ people they absolutely despise. It's not neocon.

You can find a flaw in any populous on the planet. You can hate them. This isn't some hippy party. I think almost all Patnetters are anti war though. Palestinians hate Israel. You're picking a side dude. A side that's on the other side of the globe. Let them figure out their own conflict. It's minor in historic standards. 300 years down the road it won't even be talked about.

Check out of the site, whatever, but I think you need to understand global politics better. I don't think a soul on this site hates the countries/groups you mention. We're calling bull shit when we see it. Just like they do towards the west. I'm not a beta, when I see an ass hole I call it out. Could be a country or an individual. Don't be beta.

Hate towards genocide & genociders is only acceptable as it is “good hate”.

Exceedingly powerful motivator.

The left postulates that hate and fear are bad. Hate and fear kept humans alive for a very very long time.

Now the Left is not only using the Hate label (including "deplorables"), but also the "Weird" label, and I guess its because they need a new and fresh Orwellian-style label to put on Republicans.

So you are against the $155 billion Biden-Harris regime has given away for college loan forgiveness, then you must be "Weird"

You think the Paris Olympics ceremony was bizarro and you only think there are 2 genders, then you must be "Weird"

You think that an Open Border and Welfare State are morally wrong, then you must be "Weird"

You think Medicaid costing at least $125 billion more than the Pentagon budget is alarming, then you must be "Weird"

You think running +$1 trillion deficits is alarming, then you must be "Weird"

They still are continuing college loan forgiveness thru a loophole or "Plan B" : https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-administration-student-loan-forgiveness-1-2-billion-who-qualifies/

What can happen ? Trump comes in and reverses this as in getting the banks to return the loan money to the US Treasury, and the student loan balances return back to the amounts before they were paid off ?

Student loan debt is the worst because of not being able to discharge it in BK. That rule needs to change yesterday. The colleges should WANT the rule to be changed. Enrollment is going to start dropping as kids realize it's generally useless.

The only real reason for college is STEM and medical fields. Everything else should be trade school style or community college courses. My doctor likely is smart. Did he need to take English or History in college? Or some other stupid class? No. They can read about it in their free time if interested. My free time in college I studied on my own for real estate. Then running a RE business. I did a basic class over the summer to get hours, but I was half awake. Got me 15 years of solid pay even in the downturn for my age.

When you select a major, only classes related to that major should be taken. And it should only take two years. The next two years for a "masters" type path and then you get your certification. Like a PE for engineers. You still do 4 years, but it ONLY is courses that align with your field of work.

Universities still get their 4 years. Anyone wanting to go for a Phd will be massively more educated. So if they don't go into the field they learned, they can teach the next level as a job resulting in better engineers or doctors being trained since it was the only thing they did. Somehow the hillbillies wrenching on cars figured this out decades ago with trade schools and come out making $80/hr.
