Am I Turning Conservative?

Lol at “experts”… Basically anyone that supports or reinforces your bias, eh ?

Here’s the difference between you and I. Im principled. I roundly denounce violence no matter who’s committing it. I don’t warp definitions; I.e. racism and how psychotic cretins think you can’t be racist towards whites. You loons go through such mental contortions to excuse the violence coming from the left.

Fuck the El Paso shooter. Hope he rots. Also, you conveniently left out the leftist soyboy in Dayton. Tsk tsk, comrade.

So when people bring up that left wing violence occurs at a higher rate than right wing and I provide evidence counter to that fact I’m the biased one? Wouldn’t you say at least my argument has some teeth to it unlike the emotional “it seems like the left is causing more violence?” And yes experts. As in people that study this for a living and people who are credited with being experts in their field. Give some specific evidence for why they aren’t experts.

You’re welcome to provide evidence that counter these arguments. Or you can continue to just make your feelings based arguments. That’s much easier.

Find where I said I’m cool with left wing violence. I’ll wait for you. We were discussing violence by both sides and what rates were highest. Not a single person said they were fine with violence by either side.

So you’re just as principled as everyone else in this thread. Kudos on all of our equality. But at least read earlier posts so you understand what people are talking about.

You’re arguing with a 77 year old marine. You expect him to have a balanced and educated opinion?

The authorities are still looking at motive.

Do you have some new information?

Um, hi. I consider myself conservative. I would suggest your tone be conversational. Anger is for rallying the already converted to your radio station. You should be looking to convince.

When I think soyboy, I don’t think someone into guns and killing. When I think of marine77, I think of the comic book guy from The Simpsons.

Nikolas Cruz - put a Trump hat in his dead mothers casket because she was anti-trump and took a picture of it. Killed 17. El Paso, shooter posted a right wing manifesto and killed more than that. The real question is, what are we defining as terrorism? Because all these angry white right wingers are being classified as “mentally ill” and not being included in these statistics. 5 people since 2016 by right wingers? LOL.

But didn’t they all have some anti-republican bend as well? Yeah, they supported Trump, but Trump is an entirely different beast.

Mental health is a serious issue in the States. I feel like everyone is angry all the time.

I think all of these school shooters are getting radicalized on forums online, subreddits 4chan and the like.

I agree. The El Paso shooter admitted to being online 8 hours a day.

That is a hell of a lot of time to be online per day if it doesn’t involve your job.

I think we need to differentiate between right wing, the right, republican and conservative. You can be republican but not be conservative (fiscal, that is). You can be conservative but not be a nationalist.

People are angry because it’s easier to blame someone else for your failures than look in the mirror and find the courage to change.

Your dick would resemble a chorizo if you were jacking it 8 hours a day.

But at least you won’t be inspired to kill people.

I mean, possibly? I’m not saying that there’s a huge overlap between violent killers and 20 a day fappers, but I wouldn’t rule it out.

Mind you, I suppose you’d have a time limiting factor, so perhaps this warrants further study.

I"ve known friends that at one point in their lives were probably jerking off 4-5 times a day.

needless to say they didn’t have much motivation to do much else.
