He can play up the victim sympathy points and demonize the left for being violent criminals. Even if it's confirmed the shooter is a Republican (currently reported but not confirmed)

Checking their comment history, Natolover is just a down vote troll. No use relying, although that is a nice map

You may disagree, but it is a pretty widely agreed upon distinction. It's a symptom of the issue of a fractured left wing. The left leaning communists wanted to distinguish themselves from the left leaning capitalists, so they started calling themselves leftists and not liberals.

It's just a bunch of different labels, it's not really set in stone or definitive. I totally understand why you disagree.

My point really was just that a conservative calling someone a communist isn't insulting to a lot of self described leftists because they are communist, it's mostly just considered an insult to a conservative. Kinda like calling an alt right person a Nazi is an insult from a leftist, but plenty of alt righties wouldn't be insulted because they are (jk but not really but jk)

Leftists are communist though. Liberals are the progressives that prefer capitalism

Yes

YouTube videos aren't really great proof of anything. A bunch of YouTube videos get debunked daily. I also haven't found any stats of 9 million illegal immigrants, can you point me in the right direction?

I understand, I appreciate you taking the time to respectfully explain your point of view

Nah, still homophobic. Not supporting something you otherwise would, specifically because it has gay people in it is homophobic. It might be part of your political belief, but it's still homophobic to single out the LGBT themes as a reason to dislike a game. I can see that cuz I'm mtf and bi. And I believe gender and sexuality should even be political in the first place but whatever.

They're literally anti LGBT though. They are suggesting people not play games because it has LGBT themes, how does this have anything to do with "both sides"? Both sides of what?? I'm gay but most of the games I play have no gay representation, so why would it matter what "side" you're on unless you're homophobic and can't stand seeing someone who's LGBT?

Inanna is awesome, there's some other lgbtqia aspects to her worship

From The wiki;

Individuals who went against the gender binary were heavily involved in the cult of Inanna. During Sumerian times, a set of priests known as gala worked in Inanna's temples, where they performed elegies and lamentations. Men who became gala sometimes adopted female names, and their songs were composed in the Sumerian eme-sal dialect, which, in literary texts, is normally reserved for the speech of female characters. Some Sumerian proverbs seem to suggest that gala had a reputation for engaging in anal sex with men. During the Akkadian Period, kurgarrū and assinnu were servants of Ishtar who dressed in female clothing and performed war dances in Ishtar's temples. Several Akkadian proverbs seem to suggest that they may have also had homosexual proclivities. Gwendolyn Leick, an anthropologist known for her writings on Mesopotamia, has compared these individuals to the contemporary Indian hijra. In one Akkadian hymn, Ishtar is described as transforming men into women.

If a 13 year old was pointing what I thought was a gun at me? I would use the taser and try to get out of the way of where they were pointing.

I will say, I read the article and if what the cops say is true, there were a number of compounding unfortunate circumstances. It was late at night, the kids ran when they were approached, and the kid died from a single shot. The cops didn't pull up and unload their guns on the two kids.

ACAB, but I'm not saying they were malicious or grossly incompetent in this case. But I still think they're too quick to shoot first and ask questions later. I personally think they shouldn't shoot unless shot at, that would eliminate these cases that keep happening. Teaching kids to not play with toy guns would be great too, unfortunately guns are just so deeply engrained in every aspect of American culture
