You know, you're not obligated to be my friend if I offend you by this. If you don't think I'm cool anymore I don't blame you. I lost my coolness by the time I turned 20. Hate took over.
I've been battling with the struggle of love and anger and the anger has won. It's impossible for me to go back to the way I was. I've tried changing back but it didn't work. I still had it in me and doubt it will ever go away. I have no control over it anymore. It has become part of me.
And if I truly am a distusting induvidal, I could have done far worse than I did in this thread.
I could have posted personal pictures of my best friend or my other female friend, but I would never do that. Do you know why? Because I they have earned my respect and I'd never do that to them.
Felicia on the other hand, she hasn't earned my respect and frankly, I don't respect her.
She's done far more than just "hurt my feelings."
She allowed an entire armada to troll the shit out of me in TFS and would laugh with them.
She's like that giant spider from Courage the Cowardly dog. She'll eat your head off.

So what's with the white lives matter too much sign in the back there?
Black Lives Matter thinks we suck dick so...
No they don't. At least not the "leaders"/core movement, but BLM's issue is that it doesn't have a universal message other than "fight the oppression", and no end game goal like MLK's movement did. Granted, it was WAY easier to rally against easily defined segregation, but still. They could use a strong leader right about now to clarify a message rather than the mess it is right now.
Or, they hate white people because they're white. Just like the ones that attacked the mentally disabled kid in Chicago.
MLK must be rolling in his grave now.
Yeah, because a group of thugs and those that act out defines the entire movement and an group of people.
I suppose all of MLK's followers were pretty shit too since some followed Malcolm X as well, who promoted more violent means.
They lack unity and leadership, but to assume the entire movement is hating whites simply for hating whites, is looking at things in way too narrow a view, and paints the entire thing in a black and white way, and movements like that are anything but that.
Even with several bad apples in a so called movement harm another person because they're white, it delegitimatizes the point of BLM being a movement. You might as well as call it the black version of the KKK then.
Also, Black Lives Matter? Why not All Lives Matter? At least the lives of innocent people. It shouldn't be singled out to one race but whatever.
But anyway, with those people as an example, if BLM is suppose to be a good thing, they make it look bad, and frankly, I don't see it as a good thing. If I ever run across a BLM event going on here, I'm getting the far fuck out of there asap, because I bet you it would turn into a riot fast.
it's black lives matter because black people specifically have been the victims of extremely unjust treatment for the entirety of the united states' history (they also have an intersectional approach when it comes to immigrants' rights & indigenous peoples' issues sooooo). they needed a movement to fight back against the powers that oppress them. it's not "black lives are the only lives that matter," it's just "black lives matter." only a fool would read hostility in their moniker. you're a fucking idiot and your racist statements are horrid. martin luther king jr would recoil with disgust seeing you invoke his name.
Deci is an ethnic minority. Therefore, he can't be racist because racism is prejudice plus power. Check your privledge, cishet white male.

you are clearly mad tho. anyway here's the issue: deci can't really benefit from racism due to the power+privilege thing, but that doesn't invalidate the fact that he does hold racist views. i think, in the back of your head, you already knew this.
I don't hold any racist views actually.
All I did was disagree with one thing and that suddenly makes me a racist?
Well that's childish.
The statement itself has a racist rhetoric behind it, but most who say it are ignorant to what it really means
The "all lives matter" phrase is racist at its core, but the ones that use it as an argument don't understand that.
Simple enough?
How is it racist?

hitler and the nazi party were extremely right wing.
http://www.ibatpv.org/projects/3rdreich/3rd_reich_domestic.htm
When Hitler took gained power in 1933, he disliked, among other things, capitalism, unearned incomes, war profits, land speculations, and unfair taxes. All of this influenced the National Socialist Party’s policies for Germany, which turned out to be a good thing for the non-Jewish Germans, yet Jewish Germans suffered. One of the most integral parts of Hitler’s domestic policy was his hand in the labor world. All labor unions were disbanded, and laborers were now organized into the National Labor Front, and strikes were now forbidden. Employers still had control and owned land privately, but were under close watch by the government to run their factories a certain way. All Germans had to be put to work, and many public works programs began, including reforestation and swamp drainage projects, housing and superhighways were built. This actually created a stable work environment for the German people, as there was no longer any unemployment. Overall, the labor’s share in the German national income was reduced, but everyone worked and earned a living.
This doesn't sound right-wing at all. Please don't confuse a mixture of racism, authoritarianism, and Nationalism with right-wing.
Those are all characteristics of extreme far-right politics.

beating up nazis definitely makes you better than them.
Not really. It means that you can't handle your emotions and can't think like a reasonable human being. Yes, Nazi ideals should not be tolerated but beating the guy up isn't going to change his opinion nor none of those who think alike, in fact its going to boost them. The only way to fight these type of mentality is by spreading positive ideas into the public, drive these maniacs back. To proof that we are better than them, not at their level.
life isn't a fucking disney movie. you don't magically beat the nazis by protecting their rights and attempting to yell louder then them.
then what do you propose?
to completely disregard the U.S Constitution and go out on a witch hunt? that's going to cause even more chaos and would make anyone involve in it look like a bunch of brown shirts during the night of broken glass (ironically). its not that simple, and it would never happen. the only way to drive them out and keep them from obtaining power is by staying to true to our democratic ideals.
if our democratic ideals were enough to stop the rise of fascism, then i don't think we'd be in the shitstorm we are now. of course we need to establish and build a (better) proper democratic coalition for progress, but at the same time i think it's fine to turn a blind eye when things like this happen. nazis deserve far worse than a sucker punch and bending over backwards to protect nazis' rights is just disgusting.
like many things you said, yeah i get it, but now its more about preventing the resurgence of extremists than quelling them. we shouldn't go out in hunting parties for them, and punching a man in the face still solves nothing.
le edit: yeah sure, we should totally reorganize our system, but we should totally do not degrade ourselves to their level
i think we can leave it here, a proper and civil place even though there is disagreement. you were receptive and i appreciate that. please understand that i can empathize with your position, despite my blunt disagreement; i thought along the same lines for quite a long time.
I ask this without a hint of deadpan snark. What led you to think that you should be violent against people like Richard Spencer and other far-right loons? I'm genuinely curious as to what your rationale is.

Okay, antifa.
yes that's the idea
"We should physically assault people whose political opinions I strongly dislike"
This is how a petulant child thinks.
defending nazis is a weird hill to die on but hey, you do you.
Like anyone he has the right to say whatever he wants, whether you agree with them or not. Assaulting a man for speaking his mind and then having the audacity of calling him a "Nazi" is oxymoronic.
they aren't engaging in nebulous, innocent free speech; they're attempting to shore up the power necessary to enact ethnic cleansing. miss me with this bullshit ya dig?
I don't agree nor sponsor their beliefs and political agendas, but in that interview in particular it was completely unnecessary to assault the man. It doesn't matter the shit he spews, he has the right to say it. And yes, its all bullshit, but that shouldn't give anyone the right to punch him for it. Why do you think Neo Nazi rallies are protected as much as anti-Nazi marches? Because they have the right.
it's funny to see people who are more concerned with protecting the rights of nazis than stopping them.
"People I don't like shouldn't have rights"
keep defending nazis it's a really good look
Keep being a histrionic and volatile communist, it's a really good look.

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/21/twitter-is-toast-and-the-stock-is-not-even-worth-10-analyst.htmlSpoiler Twitter is "toast" as a company and the stock is not even worth $10, according to a research note published Tuesday, following the departure of another top executive at the social media service.
The microblogging platform's chief technology officer, Adam Messinger, tweeted that he would leave the company and "take some time off", while Josh McFarland, vice president of product at Twitter, also said he was exiting the company. Both executives announced their departure on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, last month, Adam Bain stepped down as chief operating officer last month to be replaced by chief financial officer Anthony Noto, who has yet to be replaced. Twitter has also lost leaders from business development, media and commerce, media partnerships, human resources, and engineering this year.
The departures prompted Trip Chowdhry, the managing director of equity research at Global Equities Research, and a noted "uber-bear" on tech stocks, to issue a note on Tuesday claiming Twitter is "toast" and "not even a $10 stock".
"Many investors were foolishly building (an) investment thesis based on complete stupidity," Chowdhry wrote.
Twitter's share price closed at $17.92 on Tuesday. A $10 price tag would represent a more than 44 percent decline in the U.S. technology company's shares on Tuesday's closing price. It's not the first time that Chowdhry has said that Twitter could fall to $10. In October, the analyst said that next year, the fall is likely to take place.
The analyst said that Twitter's data quality is "horrible". Chowdhry said that many pollsters used Twitter data to predict a Hillary Clinton win in the U.S. election but the fact that Donald Trump won shows that data quality is poor. One reason for this is too many fake users on the platform, Chowdhry claims.
"If data quality is bad, ad targeting is bad, and if ad targeting is bad, advertisers are not happy, and hence monetization will remain challenging for Twitter," Chowdhry said.
Live video potential
Chowdhry's call is a particularly bearish voice amid a chorus of cautious investors. Twitter's stock currently has 25 hold ratings, six sells and two strong sells, according to Reuters data. Only six analysts have a buy or strong buy rating, while the average price target for the stock is $17.02.
The social media service has struggled to grow its users but its latest quarterly results could give investors some hope. Twitter's average monthly active users for the third quarter increased to 317 million, up 4 million from its second quarter, while earnings beat market expectations. The U.S. social media giant also announced plans to lay off about 350 people, or 9 percent of its global workforce.
Twitter was courted by a number of potential acquirers earlier this year, including Salesforce, but talks ended without a deal. While some still think Twitter should be acquired, the company has to go it alone and try to boost users.
One focus has been on live video. Twitter live-streams Thursday night NFL games, and on Tuesday announced plans to live-stream the Golden Globes pre-show.
Analysts see this as a potential driver of growth if it takes off. Trefis, a platform that uses data to look at how stocks are valued and where they could move, predicts the number of timeline views per U.S. monthly active user for Twitter will increase gradually from around 200,000 in 2016 to 209,000 by the end of 2019. Live video could boost that number and if the number of timeline reaches nearly 300,000 by the end of 2019, Twitter's stock could see 20 percent upside to Trefis' current price estimate of $22.28.
Still the company faces stiff competition from the likes of Facebook and Snapchat, both of which focus heavily on video.
Neil Doshi, an analyst at Mizuho Securities, wrote in a note last month that other social media rivals would continue to take ad revenue and user share from Twitter, while he continued to "remain concerned" about the business due to continued management departures. I've heard people talking about the decline of Twitter for a while now. If Twitter does go the way of Myspace, I can say with certainty that I won't miss it.
