Spork : It just comes off as you making up inflammatory stuff that's clearly not true. I guess that's one way to discuss politics. Yes, Kingwood doesn't represent everyone. But you used this broad brush of painting protesters as mentally ill, "screaming at the sky", etc., when you have a case staring you in the face in your own back yard, that the protests obviously aren't that...just seems like you are making a false and bad-faith attempt to smear people for exercising their right to protest.

DDV1218 : I make fun of the behavior of those people too.
 
Same behavior. Different fan club.

The reasoning behind taking such actions just doesn't resonate with me.
 
Spork : So...Do you think I should, for example, start calling you mentally ill on the forums, when your political ideas don't resonate with me? ; )

Joe :
Let's go. It would be nice to see evidence of a sense of humor from you, even if you took roast humor for a brief test drive.
 
Try it out on me anytime.

He sounds far more educated than someone sending a pic of people with bandages on their ears

Spork : Calling people mentally ill who you disagree with politically, hate to break it to you, is not a joke or displaying a sense of humor. Nothing in the post referenced here had even a whiff of "joking" about it... "Hey, hey, buddy, I'm just jokin' man..." is a lame excuse when you don't want to defend poor behavior.

Is getting feelings hurt on the internet a thing? If yes, it probably happens here as much as any other forum where people post anonymous commentary.

Ok Joe. I am sorry I ridiculed political behavioral expressions by referring to it as a mental illness.
 
I'll do better in recognizing the unique differences of this forum (and ND) from other options.

Joe : No. I'm making fun of the mindset that leads people to believe such exhibitions are either therapeutic or persuasive. I've done the same with Jan 6ers The reasoning behind taking such actions just doesn't resonate with me. I cannot think of any time in my life where such behavior was influential or inspirational. No one has ever shared a first hand example with me where they were inspired or influenced by it. So I poke fun of things that make no sense to me. I can only muster laughter for some of the ridiculous notions behind human behavior.
 
Spork : While I think public protests are largely symbolic and not particularly helpful to whatever the cause is, I think there are exceptions. A good example is the Vietnam war. There is no doubt that the student-led demonstrations grew, and eventually morphed into a solid majority of the country being opposed to continued involvement in the war, Johnson not seeking another term, etc.

buffaloglenn :
Right. That and the civil rights era represent the only examples that create the appearance of a cause and effect relationship. That was an era of 3 tv channels and radio as primary methods of one way communication. There was no easy way to engage in 2-way conversation with people who held different views.
 
Now that 2 way conversations are much easier to have, such displays seem to be more like theater kids putting on a show to express feelings and engage in groupthink - just like Jan6ers.
