Why do you think all of a sudden there are so many transsexuals? A few years ago it was a circus sideshow, now it’s mainstream. But maybe you see this as a good thing…
And they aren’t just portraying homosexuality as “not an awful thing”, they are encouraging kids to experiment with it.
You must be thinking of that pedophile cult that calls itself the Catholic church.
When I was a kid I knew of no gay kids and no suicides either. Now you have plenty of both. Gays are also much more likely to kill themselves (and transsexuals way more) so if you are concerned about suicides then why would you encourage people to get into these things in the first place?
Nobody would be thinking about it if it wasn’t being pushed in our faces. As for the people going into explicit detail about it, they obviously have some issues but for you to complain is the pot calling the kettle black.
I thought that was a joke. Why not just legalize murder, robbery, rape, theft, etc.? Then you would have zero crime. Survival of the fittest.
Do you need an explanation of the difference between the above and a victimless harmless act such as being a homosexual? Really?
Also, a crime rate being lowered per the flow would need to involve lowering crime in a way that also adds stability to society. So you’re double derp.

No both sides don’t play this game. One side, that uses Identity to discriminate and promote hatred based on identity is not only really small but derided by all sides as being racist mongrels. The far-left identity politics have the support of multi-million dollar media organizations that are more than happy to promulgate their 'i am a victim because ___________ everybody owes us.
Forgive me if I don’t have all my facts in a row for the following story but it goes something like this. There was a white supremacy rally some where near Ohio, I think. The police dispatched 250 extra police to deal with the upcoming melee. 9 people showed up for the rally, 9.
I will try to find the article to vet the facts when I have time.
The number of antifa videos showing violence by antifa is endless. How much of that hits the MSM? Almost none.
Or I can provide tons of videos of leftists condemning leftists for identitarian violence.
It doesn’t make it right because racists from decades ago did violence. The majority of group violence committed these days are vastly skewed to the left.
It’s really not a ‘its both of them’ problem. Violent race identitarianism is a majority problem on the left. And its what makes identity politics so dangerous.
This was in my neck of the woods, in Dayton. You should look into the stories more as to why the numbers were what they were. The counterprotest movement for it took place over weeks, on social media and the like.
The reality of the situation is, the growing issue on social media caused Dayton to cave, thus nullifying the KKK rally from their side. They actually exist in ‘decent’ (edit: by decent I mean enough for the locals to know about their existence in workplaces, hell if I know if it’s the same 20 guys that have happened to work at a ton of places…) numbers in this area. In the Toledo area it’s not uncommon for people to hang nooses and draw shit at the Jeep plant and the UPS facility. Both of them developed a bit of a bad rap for it.
But of course, the sensational right wing (equaltoleft?) news source you consumed obviously didn’t want you to know that. Kinda ruins the angle.

I wish I could be blinded by tribalism like you but I need to be coherent to get through the day.
And here’s a little something for your consideration: Willie Horton.
Yes they do…
The number of videos on line (or the lack thereof); is NOT an accurate indicator of how pervasive “Identity Politics” and violence is from both sides.
And we will agree to disagree.

The same reason it seemed as if so many more gay people existed. They weren’t terrified of people knowing they existed. I don’t see it as a good or bad thing. I see it as having nothing to do with my current situation. It’s not harming me and I highly doubt it’s harming you. Oh no what if they want to pee in the same room as me? You’ve been pissing by gays and transgender people your whole life. I don’t want anyone pissing in the same room as me. Since that won’t happen I’ll just be an adult and take a piss. I won’t speak for you but I don’t check out everyone else to see what they are equipped with. Who gives a shit?
Who’s this they you keep mentioning? I have friends in some pretty liberal areas and I’ve lived my whole life in solid conservative areas. I haven’t seen any changes in this area unless we want to cherry pick articles which is easy to do in the age of the internet.
I’m by no means aware of a big movement of encouraging kids to experiment with gay or straight sex. Again maybe a teen does now and wouldn’t have in 1975 because they would be terrified if someone found out. But who really cares? Don’t you get to pick what you do with your dick? Do you want someone telling you what to do with it? Why the fuck would you care what someone else does with it?
Get into these things? It’s not an after school reading club. I would encourage people to do what makes them happy. Maybe if we didn’t have states and people telling them they are lesser or freaks the suicide rate would drop?
Horseshit. People cared way before it was accepted as it is now. You still had people who thought they were gross, thought they were going to hell, sent people to conversion therapy, etc.
of course it seems pushed in your face because much of your life it was hidden from you. You can’t even begin to make an argument that you see more homosexual activity than you do heterosexual. Movies, tv shows, etc. You’re going to see way more heterosexual action than homosexual action and you know it. You’ve just been trained to “notice” more when you see something gay.
I wasn’t complaining I’m just saying that the more someone is against gays the more they talk about it constantly and think about gay sex. Most of us simply don’t really care. Let people do what they want.

I would say religion has been a more consistent threat of violence throughout history than any other form of “identity politics.”
And religion is a form of identity politics for sure it’s in the definition.

“The far left is very active in the United States, but it hasn’t been particularly violent for some time," says Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism.
He says the numbers between the groups don’t compare.
“In the past 10 years when you look at murders committed by domestic extremists in the United States of all types, right-wing extremists are responsible for about 74 percent of those murders,” Pitcavage says.
You have to go back to the 1970s to find the last big cycle of far-left extremism in the U.S. Both Pitcavage and McNabb say we have been in a predominantly far-right extremist cycle since the 1990s — the abortion clinic bombings and Oklahoma City, for example. And, more recently, racially motivated attacks such as the one at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, the mass shooting at a black church in Charleston, S.C., and last month’s stabbings on a commuter train in Portland.”
Although violence of any means should be condemned political leanings be damned

God himself killed people, exterminated whole populations, because of identity.
Which includes the Oklahoma City Federal Building.
I would also refer you to the sobering statistics compiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
SPLC is defintiely not an indedpendent, non-partisan entity.
As with all statistics put out by anyone not in a double blind, peer reviewed study, they should be taken with a heavy grain of salt.
Statistics is a branch of mathematics that be easily skewed to make the data say what you want simply being a bit picky about what specific data you keep and what you throw out.
I don’t trust statistics published by any entity that has a clearly partisan agenda: SPLC, NRA, Planned Parenthood, The White House etc…

Fair enough.
But there is certainly enough data collected over the years; to confidently say without bias; that violence and Identity Politics is not somehow the exclusive purview of the Left.
I had a feeling you were going to say that. Add drugs and gambling to my list. And don’t tell me that those are harmful but homosexuality isn’t, gays are the most likely to get AIDS and a whole list of other things.
There are quite a few countries that are having issues with low birth rates, Hungary and Poland are taking initiatives to encourage people to have more kids and make it easier to do so. If that is a problem over there then more homosexuality will only increase the problem further. So much for your derp, whatever the hell that means.
Gambling I agree. Drugs it depends on the drug. There’s obviously a direct line from a chemically addictive substance and the willingness to commit a crime to get more of it.
Gasp! People who have unprotected sex are at risk of STDS?!?!?!1111ONEONEONE
And you think imprisoning gays somehow effects the birth rates of straight people, I’m afraid you don’t understand how this all works…
You compared legalizing BEING GAY with legalizing murder to decrease the crime rate.
That’s a derp big guy
The government, in certain states and in Canada
Yeah, but now that you hear more about gay stuff in the media there are more people speaking out against it. If I didn’t have to hear about it I wouldn’t even care, now you can’t go into a bank, mall, public school, anywhere downtown, without seeing pro-gay propaganda.
Of course you won’t see more homo activity than straight, they are a small minority. It’s noticeable just like if I walk down the street I won’t pay attention to flowers and bushes but if there’s a pile of dog shit on the sidewalk I’m avoiding it.
True.
Violence is unfortunately a part of human nature and is not inherently picky.
