You need to spend less time in your emotional echo chamber. Much of what you are saying isn't grounded in what is happening, Matt Walsh doesn't call violence on campus.He has a youtube channel. Why not at least watch one of the videos. Your point about trans people and toilets doesn't address what is actually being said or the concerns around it.
- astrange 4y agoMatt Walsh says things on Twitter that resemble the GP comment more than yours, though he’s never been moderated or un-checkmarked for it. His reaction to a shooting at a drag queen event was to call everyone there a pedophile. Though his more notable takes are that Russia would win a war against the US because our recruiting ads are gay: https://twitter.com/mattwalshblog/status/1496942410538131468 https://twitter.com/mattwalshblog/status/1496942410538131468 and that time when Trump wanted a photo op at the church across from the White House and had the priests tear gassed, that they deserved it because Episcopalians are Satanists. (Can’t find that one.) IIRC also said yoga, anime, Ouija boards, and the Persona series were all Satanist. Maybe I’m just confused and he’s some kind of Catholic insult comic? (Well, he’d be right about Persona.)
- vxNsr 4y agoYour (and liberalism in general) inability to understand humor when it comes from someone you dislike is quite concerning. I recently watched a socialist YouTuber argue against Ayn Rand because someone might read her books and fail to understand it was fiction. And thus her books should be banned. That’s an argument against all fiction books but he made this argument with a totally straight face while speaking against the dangers of capitalism in general.
- astrange 4y agoIs “oh those Episcopalians, so Satanic” a joke? I don’t think you can have a joke with the word “Episcopalian” in it. It’s just not a funny word, I mean, it’s a lot of effort to type. The rest don’t appear to have a punchline either - well, unless he was the punchline for the Russian one. I think most Catholic humor is about guilt or their mom’s statue collections rather than calling people pedophiles, maybe he can try that. Or call them angelic instead.
- komali2 4y agoMatt Walsh recently said he wants the cops to break down the doors of drag show performers and jail them. https://www.losangelesblade.com/2022/10/20/matt-walsh-police-need-to-break-down-the-doors-of-drag-shows/ https://www.losangelesblade.com/2022/10/20/matt-walsh-police... You're going to argue that it's a joke? Well no wonder we don't understand this kind of humor, it's not funny. > I recently watched a socialist YouTuber argue against Ayn Rand because someone might read her books and fail to understand it was fiction. And thus her books should be banned. That’s an argument against all fiction books but he made this argument with a totally straight face while speaking against the dangers of capitalism in general. Smells like tankie to me. I've yet to hear a good leftist argument for the banning of any book. Who was this? I'd like to watch the video, because I do more than argue against the "dangers" of capitalism, and I love a good lefty infight.
- vxNsr 4y agoI already responded to your link in a sibling thread. But I’m curious, you’re implying you’re anti capitalist, what system do you wish to replace capitalism?
- astrange 4y agoIf you read the Communist Manifesto’s list of demands, the US has implemented about half of them, so I therefore claim this has already happened. https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch02.htm https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-m...
