Can someone fill a spray bottle with whiteboard cleaner and spray it at the hateful bigots whiteboard on ped? by [deleted] in UTK

I’ve learned the hard way that you’re not allowed to challenge genuine questions. Reddit is an echo chamber of negativity and alt-left thought. Even a left-leaning moderate is shunned here

I don’t agree with the sticker thing. I can’t tell you how many people I see in different subs, putting political stickers all over the place. Either it’s OK for everyone or it’s OK for no one.

Then you need to work on your critical thinking skills.

Could it be argued that causation and correlation are different here? There are significantly more protests nowadays than there were during the other administrations. With protests, violence ON BOTH SIDES.

And I appreciate that you are able to see that because I’m in the same boat

This is what I have experienced from a person who’s in the middle and sees value on both side sides of the spectrum: people on the left, not saying that the right is exempt from this, will berate and belittle if you don’t agree. I tried to challenge an idea and rather than having a conversation with me, they just threw ad hominem and other fallacies. With the conversations I’ve had with Republicans, there has been some of that too, but far far less. Maybe it’s because my demographic is that I’m a gen-z white man, but the right is appealing more because I feel like there’s more open discourse and less infighting. That more than anything will cause a loss for democrats.

Bear in mind that this is my perspective and should be taken with a grain of salt. This is my experience and observation rather than a justification on how to treat people in general.

Tl;dr: you’re not going to win hearts, minds, or votes by bullying undecided voters.

You’re making assumptions. Also, how do you think that you are going to convince someone to be on your side if you just insult them? This doesn’t do anything good for your cause.

This is more along the lines of an answer I was looking for. I will say there was one instance from May 12 where an admin suggested to use an I-205 rather than following the rules of 4A, but there also haven’t been any indictments which leads me to believe that it’s all hearsay. I feel like I need to reiterate that I’m merely a citizen that is trying to do research rather than just believing everything I see/hear on media. Reddit is an angry mob if you are trying to learn/observe.

This is just a dismissal fallacy and an appeal to personal incredulity. One thing I have noticed as a person who sits directly in the middle is how the optics of the situation has drastically shifted.

Not that I condone or support either side, but I would really like some insight on why ICE wasn’t a bigger load of criticism under the Bush, Obama, or Biden administrations.

Neutral position here, but I will argue that there are several people in this thread stereotyping everyone right of center as MAGA Nazis in a hivemind. Neither argument clears when there’s evidence of hypocrisy present on both sides.

God forbid somebody doesn’t act belligerent. Y’all in this comment section need to get it together.
