Wow, what a read. Wokeness really does break people's minds. I see what he means about his friend becoming radicalized by all this.

> Which boils down to this: CRT/BLM is supported by left-wing. So if I am critical of CRT/BLM, then I must be right-wing, and the fact that I even want to discuss this topic means that the discussion is ‘political’.

I've noticed this with ... certain other politicized topics. I'm very left-wing, so it's always amusing being accused of being right-wing by woke fanatics because I happened to disagree with them on some issue. Even if I approach it from a left-wing, anti-capitalist point of view. If it doesn't match what they've been told to think on social media, then that's it - an enemy is speaking, full of evil and malice.

It's all getting quite ridiculous.

Define "woke".

The quoted point is wrong though! CRT isn't supported by the left wing, it's simply been trashed by the right.

BLM isn't supported by the left wing. We are simply standing in opposition of loud forces on the right.

BLM isn't a typical top-down organization. There may be a BLM recognized by the government but they aren't the ones that were organizing.

I don't think Scali is right-wing because they are critical of things they don't understand, but if they keep siding with right-wing factions I do have to make a judgement.

>Even if I approach it from a left-wing, anti-capitalist point of view.

I would love for you to do this on this new account with only one comment.

Some will agree, some won't. This is a good watershed moment to cut off the ones that won't.

I'm impressed Jim gave Scali 56+ pages of conversation. I had to stop entertaining my friends well before that when they started insulting me a 'trans-lover' back in 2020.

I hope Scali can see through the confusing mess they've read themselves into one day.

>marking up Antifa as a terrorist organization may actually be a good call. I feel he had them figured out before I did.

On Trump

>And it's also interesting that all 3 (white) people that were shot in Kenosha, had pretty big criminal records

Scali's warped perception of the Waukesha protests needs to justify why people died.

>This is a civil war, BLM/Antifa are trying to create some kind of Marxist/anarchist state, and the democrats are actually encouraging them.

Grind that axe.

>Anyway, the REAL point is that you don't even bother to listen

Jim just had a 3 month long conversation with you.

"Justify why people died" Lol, you sound as unhinged and radicalized as Jim. The point I was making was that all these people had a criminal record that showed they had a violent nature, and were likely there to cause trouble. But to understand that, you need to be not radicalized, and be able to think calmly, logically, and humanly.

Also, a conversation is more than just deflecting and ignoring things, it means engaging with a topic and exchanging arguments. Clearly Jim was not open to that. The way he was misrepresenting what I said at some point is nothing short of sick. Much like what you were doing just now.

Which is funny... from 56+ pages of conversation, you STILL have to twist and frame my words in an attempt to make me look bad. Lol.

>But to understand that, you need to be not radicalized, and be able to think calmly, logically, and humanly.

I guess I'll just have to defer to you about what I am.

Why don't you come hang out with me in Montana, we'll find unhinged people just by trying to have a discussion in public, and they won't be antifa.

Somebody needs a nap.
