Seriously though. If you have no/weak theory of mind, among other things you're incapable of understanding that people view the world differently than you do. What you know is what everybody else knows, i.e. is the universal truth, and anybody who acts inconsistently with that truth isn't doing it because they genuinely see the world differently, but rather because they're lying for personal gain. That makes them seem, well, unreasonable at the very least.

That's why anybody protesting Trump isn't really against Trump, they've just been paid to do it. Probably by that George Soros guy.

It's a pretty severe cognitive deficit. Normally people develop theory of mind in early childhood. Even dogs have it.

Both the recent policy change regarding transgender and the bombings are big news. A solid majority of Americans are sympathetic to LGBT+ causes, and it does seem like one of the social issues from the past decade where Democrats have been genuinely successful at changing public opinion incredibly rapidly - not only among Democrats, but among a non-trivial portion of Republicans as well. That’s not to say that there isn’t still work to be done. But I do think it does suggest that the fact that the recent policy announcement was eclipsed by a massive (and unsuccessful) act of domestic terrorism can’t be rightfully seen as anything more than a deeply unfortunate coincidence.


I agree, I wasn't actually claiming it was a smokescreen, just that I wouldn't be surprised if it had turned out to be. And I guess indirectly implying that it was taking all the spotlight, as it seemed to be all over social media but no news sources had picked it up at the time. I think even now it's somewhat under reported but I haven't checked today.

That's a dog whistle, lol. I have a friend that I would describe as a socialist libertarian (to be pithy) and everything is a false flag it seems which he backs up by citing some sixties Pentagon memo.

Anyway, much too early to jump to assumptions but who really goes to that much trouble to get professional vinyl graphics done for their murdermobile? This one will be fun too watch. I have been saying for years, though, that eventually they would actually get a crazy right winger that did something heinous although taking only what I know at face value I don't have any idea if this guys actually killed anyone or if these devices were even capable of doing so.

We had one of those "crazy right winger" guys come to my town last year and murder a woman.

Anecdotal, kinda like that murder in San Francisco committed by an illegal immigrant that conservatives were raging about for months and months a few years back?
2018-10-26, 10:10 AM #12414
Also I mean at least most of our anectodes are true (rather than conspiracy theories about the Clintons ordering an assassination), which is something e.g., Hannity can't say.

I didn't realize at first this was the van of the arrested suspect. Assuming it's really him, I think we have the answer about political motivation.

Originally posted by Wookie06:

What do you mean? That it anecdotally happened, or that he was anecdotally right wing?

You realize if you wholesale claim anyone right wing who commits violence is actually not right wing, you sound like a conspiracist and nobody's going to take your opinion seriously, yeah?
2018-10-26, 10:19 AM #12416
Oh I'm sorry, you see how the van is white? That's obvious symbolism for white supremacy, clearly this is a democrat plant. See how the hinges are outside the van? No self-respecting right-winger would buy such an unsecure piece of garbage. Clearly this is a democrat plant.

Man, this is easy.
2018-10-26, 10:21 AM #12417
My favorite line of reasoning is: "none of the bombs went off, clearly they weren't really intended to hurt people, this is clearly a fake". The implication of half of everything right wingers say is that they're actually hardcore badasses and in no way would they ever **** up making a bomb. So much of what they say is "I could beat you up" in political form. It's probably where the post apocalyptic military fantasies come from.

You provided absolutely no details about any political (or other) motivation and simply state that a right winger killed a woman. I'm sure a left winger killed somebody as well but I wouldn't use that as a rebuttal.

Anyway, I found this:

Details make a lot of difference. Sure, now that you mention it I vaguely remember you making some posts back then but I definitely didn't have it cemented in my memory that that's where you live. Is it true that Antifa was there as well?

Some dude got mad that the rally of neo-Nazis and KKK members was cancelled (due to a white supremacist pulling out a gun and shooting at a black guy) so he ran down a crowd of people in his car.

It's a good thing he wasn't in a Mustang.

2018-10-26, 11:16 AM #12425
BLM was there too. I bet they were asking to be run over.

Oh, btw, the perpetrator was a Trump supporter who had worshipped Hitler since middle school.

It's just an honest question of someone that lives there which he chose to ignore. Reports suggest these groups were all there and I know that reports also suggest that the dead woman had nothing to do with any of the groups.

It's not a relevant question, unless you're implying that somehow they're responsible, which I'm pretty sure you're going to do.

Yes, antifa and BLM members were there.
2018-10-26, 11:40 AM #12432
It's a relevant question to someone that I infer is knowledgeable of the situation. I didn't imply anything. You're inferring motive where none exists. I could infer that you had a motive to avoid truthfully answering the question. That, I think, would be stupid of me to do. See how this works?

I guess, for me, I just don't get why you would ask "is it true Antifa were there?", when you know they were.

You don’t know that reports suggest the murder was unrelated to the white supremacists, because reports make it very clear that the murderer was one of the white supremacists.

And yes, antifascists were there, so go ahead and do whatever you were planning to do with that.

I said I was being pithy. Why are you so sensitive to what you call yourself? Oh, isn't this kind of like how you intentionally malign the word conservative but when I use certain terms in the most innocuous way you get triggered? God forbid half the forum start insulting the words you identify with. Then we might get the old Jon`C back.
