    Where we are now sure seems to be the direct result of people not getting their asses kicked for being pieces of shit.

    Too many people accepted intolerance and bigotry being spread without natural consequences which let the bigots and bullies think they had the right to do it, and in the process, it convinced everyone else that the bullies were the majority.

      Tolerance of intolerance is the achilles’ heel of the tolerant. They lose sight of the fact that it is not only morally acceptable to punch Nazis, it is required at all times.

      It’s the main problem with the argument of taking the high road. Liberalism has failed, because it allowed a voice to the disengenuous. People would argue in bad faith and we’d let them. Get the fuck outta here with alternative facts. Listen to the science, follow the policies and shut the fuck up about fictional gods and demons. That belongs at Sunday mass, not Monday morning.
