You have been a member since 2010 and it took you a decade to realize that most people on TYM are very liberal? LOL.
I'm not really liberal or conservative, I think Trump has done an awful job responding to the virus and is a terrible person in general. Drawing Hitler / Nazi comparisons is so insulting to the people killed by the Nazis though. I dont think Karaokelove was being particularly insulting and his posts were mostly funny with some solid and well researched information, but I have seen other people in real life make this comparison. There is quite a gap between being a bad person and being fuckin Adolf Hitler.
I think what you guys aren’t getting is that the comparisons aren’t meant to equal the severity of what the Nazis did — but rather, the mentality that allowed Fascism to grow and exist in the first place.
Did liberals also compare Obama to a Nazi when he killed two U.S. citizens with drone strikes? What about killing civilians in certain middle-eastern countries with drone strikes? And if liberals care about undocumented immigrants, why did Obama deport more of them than Bush Sr. did?
I understand the point the comparisons are making, it's not like it's just going over my head lol. I think there is nothing wrong with pointing out the spread of fascist ideology, but going full NAZI and drawing comparisons to the group responsible for the greatest atrocity in human history is insane.
Okay we'll just use Stalin or Mussolini instead. XD
Haha use Hitler if you want, I'm not your daddy, that's just my opinion.
There are plenty of liberals who object to those things, and did so at the time.
You say "killed US citizens" as if the point was to kill random people. The incident you're referring to involves a terrorist. If we allow police to shoot people who post a threat to others' lives, why would we not allow the military to target a terrorist who is a US citizen but has moved abroad in order to threaten the US?
Been busy as usual and haven’t been able to read this thread hardly at all. But saw this, and to clarify, that isn’t why MKF was banned. MKF got infractions that in total added up to equal an automatic temporary ban. Had nothing to do with “discussing politics”. 99% of users don’t get outright banned on the spot, it’s usually an accumulation of infractions that end up leading to a ban based on infraction number totals. Also, infraction points expire after a couple of months. So, you have to constantly and consistently break the rules and ignore moderators in order to actually get banned. Aside from that, you only get on the spot outright banned for very obvious things like serious physical threats, overtly purposeful bigotry, etc.
For some reason every time you bring up Trump/something related to the way that he's handling and talking about the crisis, certain people want to bring up Obama and make a false equivalency from something years ago that has nothing to do with Covid. It's like clockwork.

Yes, liberals with principles did. Liberals who were partisan and fans of Obama did not.
Actually, nothing is known about the incident as the Obama administration withheld this information, forever deemed classified, from the public.
I am aware of the difficult decisions that have to made in the circumstances that you have described. My original point was going to be that both the republican as well as the democratic party engage in constitutionally illegal activities. In the case of war, one side, the republicans, or at least a majority of them, are actively promoting war without Congress's declaration. Democrats, on the other hand, are deceiving the public and playing the non-interventionism card on television yet arguing for the exact same thing as republicans behind closed doors.
Whether partisanship is coming from democrats or republicans, I dislike political fanatics. While Trump has undoubtedly downplayed this virus for political reasons, he is no Nazi or Adolf Hitler. Amazingly, you have defended this comparison.
Bonus points if you're one of the lucky guys like Wesker who turn into a super human, just hope you aren't the unlucky ones where you turn into something like Birkin, a cancerous blob wanting to incest your own kids.
Before I tackle Karakolove's post, I would like to say that you are a fool, but I will always defend your right to state what is on your mind. You should not be banned again.
Let's just get back to Coronavirus in this thread. If you'd like to talk other stuff, I'm happy to PM or to start a thread specifically for politcs, even though I'm sure the train wreck it would surely become would be the stuff of legend.
Ignoramus. Another RWNJ with broken grammar.
Then why are you still here? Why the fuck is this a time limited ban? Why are our mods ok with the continued existence of bigots here? Transphobes aren't welcome here- or at least they shouldn't be.
Not EVERYONE speaks English as their 1st language
Dude, don't.... Just DON'T.
He was my dad's best friend's nextdoor neighbor (I'm a Nashville native). This shit is hitting close to home. I'm worried about my dad, who still doesn't take it seriously and up until yesterday was making fun of his friend for being too freaked out by it.
