Mind-Blowing Liberal Hypocrisy

For months, liberals have been self-righteously lecturing the country about the need to stay home and "social distance".

And when a few conservatives in Michigan gathered for a peaceful protest against the lockdowns, lockdowns which have robbed millions of their jobs, their businesses, and their basic freedoms, unhinged liberals lost their minds.

But in a matter of days, all that social distancing extremism has been completely abandoned as mass protesting, rioting, and looting engulfs cities all across the country.

Apparently, it is now okay and even admirable for thousands of people to congregate in direct violation of the social distancing idiocy that liberals forced on the country for months. Their obsession with preventing the spread of COVID has magically disappeared.

 

Priorities, man. Mayhem, fake outrage and looting are at the top in liberal la la land. Especially when it comes to honoring a drunken, black, drug soaked, counterfeiter, whose heart gave out while resisting arrest.

 

This is exactly how I see it:



Both are inconsistent to say the least.

 

Utterly laughable. Liberals have been crying out for tyranny and use of the national guard to enforce it while conservatives peacefully assembled to protest that abuse of power. Liberals are burning down their own cities and conservatives tolerance of that requires the use of the national guard to quell the anarchy and abuse of public trust. I know, that doesn't fit nicely into a cute meme, but there you are.

 

We know. You're extremely partisan. We get it.

 

Which doesn't address the comment, does it? You have yet to contribute much, if anything, that has any substance. I suggest you try harder.

 

Yeah, it does. You just don't understand it. I've found that for years to discuss major issues with a partisan, whether conservative/Republican or liberal/Democrats is a fruitless endeavor. This meme was designed to flush you out.

It worked.

I've known Ethereal for years. I remember when he declared for the military when he was very young. I remember one progressive even trying to talk him out of it even. I remember his return.

He isn't a partisan at all. While he holds opinions that agree with partisans on occasion (and so do I) he is a reasonable person who is open for discussion.

That is the difference between him and you. You should learn from him.

 

And the fake news cable shows we're all depicting the rioters as being white supremacists. But now the President Trump said that the local governments need to dominate the streets to combat these rioters, fake news Anderson Cooper in order to mailgn Trump, is characterizing Trump as wanting "to dominate black people." So which is it with these knee jerk TDS afflicted leftist? Are the people rioting white supremacists, or are they "blacks?"

 

and look what they did in Minnesota when a police precinct building was under threat from rioters. Instead of calling in police officers from other precincts to protect that Precinct building, the mayor just abandoned the building and allowed thugs to loot and destroy the place.

If the rioters where the same people vilified by cable news, who were demanding to be allowed to go back to work and not be treated like prisoners in their own homes by the governor, then you know damn well cable news media what all be demanding the National Guard be there. But because it's Democrat voters, supposedly, then they were allowed to just run rampant and do whatever they want "oh they want to burn the police precinct building, we'll let him have it. Oh, they want to looot jewlery and department stores, okay yeah whatever."[i/]

 

Do you truly believe that nonsense? Wow.

 

Mostly they are hard left anarchists and members of ANTIFA. Remember the Occupy Wall Street movement violence? Most of that was caused by radical leftist anarchists . . . which the MSM refused to identity or discuss because it did not fit their political narrative.

 

Epic fail!

 

Pretty much.

But liberals have become such extreme statists that I now pine for the days of the pre-COVID status quo.

Liberals have pushed the Overton window so far towards statism and collectivism that we actually have to defend our right to go outside our homes and have a job.

As bad as conservatives can be, they are nowhere near that insane... yet.

 

They're both!

PS. Great catch.

There's more where that came from.

I'm not denying that antifa is b often part of the problem, just not this time, IMHO.

 

Partisan simply means prejudiced in favor of a particular cause. Everyone has their own belief system, and everyone is prejudiced toward their own belief system. It is human nature. You are going to argue in favor of YOUR belief system. In regards to partisanship, whether or not you tend to argue in favor of one party or the other in no way qualifies you as not being partisan.

It reminds me of the punk/goth/emo kids that have existed in generations past. All of them take great pride in being non conformists because they refuse to dress and act like the mainstream. The reality is that they all dress and act almost identical to each other, and thus are textbook conformists, regardless of the fact that they do not conform to the mainstream.

Similarly, you are biased toward your way of thinking. You are every bit as much of a partisan as is anyone else. Do not delude yourself into thinking otherwise.

 

par·ti·san
/ˈpärdəzən/
noun

1. 1.
   a strong supporter of a party, cause, or person.

Id like to point out that we are on a site that discusses politics, so in this context a partisan usually refers to a party.

If one wishes to apply in context the word partisan to me, it would not reference this. My cause is simply the cause of individual freedom. I don't care about politics. In my world, politics is simply the study of the application of the initiation of force or coercion by one group or individual to that of another group or individual.

I do not believe in initiating force or coercion to any individual. Thus, I am politics-free.

 

and God, Morality, America, the Constitution, the Rule of Law, Christianity, Judaism, White People (yes white liberals suffer from self loathing, they think it's because they're white but it's because they are liberal) and any thing else that conflicts with their dysfunctional world view.

 

Flip-flopping is something I expect from both sides. But this is beyond flip-flopping. There isn't even a word to describe the depth of this hypocrisy. And that is why liberals are staying the hell away from this thread, because even they cannot overlook just how unbelievably hypocritical they are being.

 

My exact words were "Partisan simply means prejudiced in favor of a particular cause".... and now you post the definition as if you are correcting me, and instead you post "strong supporter of a party, cause, or person"? I fail to see how that changes anything. That is basically resorting to the dictionary only to match my words almost verbatim.

At any rate, who cares if you choose to describe a political site as a discussion about party? That is a meaningless distinction. I choose to view a political site as an exchange of ideas. Neither one of our descriptions are incorrect. They are simply two different ways of describing the exact same thing. Our description is not what is important.

I perhaps did not make my point clear. The reason that I analogized you to emo/punk/goth kids, is that they believe that they are free of the bondage of conformity because of their odd style of dress in comparison to the rest of society. What they dont realize is that by dressing just like other emo/punk/goth kids, they are every bit as conformist ( if not moreso) as is the rest of society, albeit a conformity to a far smaller subset of the population. What you dont realize is that your "Thus I am politics free" boast is just as incorrect as the emo kids belief that they are nonconformists. You think that you are politics free, but your "lack of politics", is a political position in and of itself, albeit a political position held by a much smaller subset of the population.

You are espousing your ideas just like everyone else. When supporting your ideas, you are as biased towards your ideas as is anyone else. The reality that you represent an obscure viewpoint changes nothing in that regard.

 

OMG, this is so true!

 

So the rioters get emboldened and tax payers get to build a new one?

 

You're definitely consistent with your anarchic views, but here's a question: If a society agrees to form a government, wouldn't it be within the anarchic philosophy to not resist that government, as it was created by the consent of the governed?

In other words, anarchy holds the "you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone" but in overthrowing the government, you're not letting them be alone.

 

Not if said society forcibly includes others and/or the anarchist as well. If it's strictly voluntary though, then yes. But that society doesn't exist.

 

.
When your belief is "leave everyone alone and allow them to believe what they wish as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of the individual" you are apoltical and non-partisan.
