The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Violence is the inevitable destination of leftism." - Dumbass Dope

That is a silly generalization. I am sure there are some leftists who engage in violence just as there are some conservatives who engage in violence. There are some pacifist leftists and some on the right. Violence is a human condition. As such, it varies in degrees across the political spectrum. Everyone is different.

However, it should be noted that of all of the posters on this board, I have only seen three posters actively support people who engaged in political violence.

That would be:
Dumbass Dope
BigHairyMike
LurkerMom

All three were very vocal in their support of the people who beat up on cops on January 6th. They made excuses and tried to justify the violent behavior in their political brethren. They supported Trump who then pardoned all of the people who committed the violence.

So Dope, prior experience has shown that you have very little capacity for self-introspection and that most of your accusations are really confessions.

So if you ever want to be taken seriously and be more than Dumbass Dope, the guy who would get laughed at except his stupidity is destroying the country, then maybe try just a little self-introspection. Of course you will be terrified by what you will see.
