Things go boom

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Anarchists don't do this kind of thing, they haven't since the depression.  And even if they still did a marathon is not a target they'd go for.  It'd be something connected to power.

This.

I'm betting right wing nutjob.

What makes this a more attractive target for a right winger than for an anarchist?

I mean, wouldn't a righty's ideology make this action seem loathsome for being an attack against his countrymen?  It doesnt really jive with any of the right propaganda ive ever read...barring ueber-nuts groups like white nationalists (ok no euphemisms...nazis) or abortion-bombers...

My point is, a crazy anarchist could be equally responsible as a crazy right-winger...both would be attacking a not-so-ideal target if we go off of their politics, and both would share the aspect of crazy...

A few things.  One is Anarchists don't bomb any longer, they tried it, it didn't work, and they don't do it.  If one went off the rails and decided to bomb something they'd at least have picked a police station or a local bank, not a street at the end of a marathon which is actually more work than the previous two due to heightened security.

As far as right winger we can kind of assume the person is uber nuts, since they're bombing people, so your "barring ueber nuts" bit doesn't really make sense.  Unless bombing is mainstream in the right wing.  Also, those people aren't his country men, they are unamerican liberal homo loving socialists who his country would be better off without.

I think we're both oversimplifying the right to some degree. Im excluding the "bad" parts of the right (those who would have done this to spite those liberal homo loving socialists), because i am of the right and wish not to lump myself in with such scum...

You seem to be excluding the "good" part of the right (those that would have chosen targets more similar to your loose-cannon anarchist and minimalised casualties to his compatriots) in order to disentangle anarchism.


Tl;dr i think we have similar motives for our arguments from different sides of the table...

I know I'm late to this thread. Can I safely assume that someone has already pointed out what a COMPLETELY FUCKING RETARDED thing this is to say?

Actually, it struck me as someone blurting out something that everyone normally just thinks, when someone "on their team" does something ignorant or monstrous.

Well, having a "team" is COMPLETELY FUCKING RETARDED. So my point stands.

Of course it is.

But people do it anyway.  Or BECAUSE it's retarded.

I was just fascinated with the honesty expressed in the frankly horrifying explanation of his reluctance to consider a right wing zealot as a possible perpetrator.

What's REALLY amazing is that the sentence I just typed is actually grammatically correct.  It shouldn't be.

[LMNO]

Heisenberg's grammar.  It can't be coherent and correct at the same time.


(Actually, your sentence was coherent.  The joke is insisting I write it anyway, however.)


He also seems to think Anarchy is a right-wing philosophy, unless I'm not reading it correctly.

I read it as "it was the anarchists, not the right wingers".

[LMNO]

Ah, yes.  Apologies.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Ah, yes.  Apologies.

The REALLY interesting part is that, while acknowledging that one's side has fruitcakes is fairly easy, when a SPECIFIC fruitcake is brought up, things suddenly get all murky.

Sort of like when a trustafarian acknowledges that he/she has privilege, but then freaks out if you name one.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Ah, yes.  Apologies.

No one wants to condemn their teammate.

That's the Reagan Rule:  Never publicly criticize another conservative.

Fuck that shit.  Most of the people that agree with me are RETARDED, because most people IN GENERAL are retarded.  I mean, look at me...I'm a fucking oaf that needs a hockey helmet and a backup alarm.  EVERYONE needs to be criticized, at one point or another.

And if you can't do that when it's needed, then you're just another pinkboy with a uniform.

On an unrelated note--- what's the story behind your avatar?
