Lefists have a tendency to label right wingers as white supremacists, just a few examples :

  • The supposed infiltrators during the George flots riots
  • The Trump supporters who stormed the capitol building
  • Any right wing militia you can think of

They are all labeled as white supremacists for unkown reasons, no evidence is provided at all.

He’s a Canadian that wishes he could thump bibles with his Trumper brethren.

A redneck on different soil, Trump would be proud. :triumph:

And that’s been American politics by both sides after dubyas presidency. Or maybe it just became more apparent due to social media/time moving forward

I dont disagree with you that the right wing is often unnecessarily generalized as being white supremacist, much in the same way that liberals are unnecessarily generalized as marxist communists. However, there is a basis for both of those generalizations, right? Most marxists would identify as far left, and most white supremacists would identify as far right. It’s not that those sides of the spectrum wholly represent those ideals, but they are the sides of choice for those idealogies, which is why the generalization is made. Can we agree on that?

I hate typing on mobile but i’ve been reading his posts and he comes off as someone who left leaning, thats not an insult or a serious accusation. White supremacists are worse than pedophiles in American society.

Sure, im just saying you are generalizing which you just derided. shrug

Funny, right-wingers are just as proficient at labeling

  • Every GOP member who sided with the impeachment or was against capitol storm is a national traitor who needs to be sent to Guantanamo
  • Everybody and everything is called communist
  • All DNC politicians are pedophiles and visited Epstein’s private island
  • Pelosi is a satanic cult leader who’s only alive because she occasionally drinks blood of children
  • Antifa constantly meddling in Trumpers’ activities, no matter the scale or side of the country

and so on and so on

Don’t act like the Red side is crystal clear of dumb shit

I mean seriously, open up any thread on TDW and then CTRL+F “commie” - you’ll be surprised how many page search results you’ll find

It’s actually really funny that anyone would think pedophilia is a partisan issue.

I guess it’s because left-leaning famous people (politicians, actors, musicians, directors, …) are more out-spoken (read - virtua signaling) about the issue hence why they’re labeled as such by right-leaning folks. Since, you know, “biggest virtue signalers are always the worst offenders”

Trump switched parties so many times it’s not funny.

Basically “fake news”

They’re both buffoonish generalizations to make with no evidence, but the insinuation that someone is a white supremacist can affect someone’s work and social life if those accusations aren’t tamped down moreso than someone being called a Marxist. The insinuation that someone is a white supremacist is generally a means of discrediting them so the accuser doesn’t have to rebut their ideas/arguments or in the hopes that they’ll back down for fear that people will actually believe they’re a white supremacist. I’m not sure that most people who make accusations of white supremacy know or care if the person they’re accusing actually IS one, but it’s something a lot of people are afraid of being called in this day and age and hard to prove you aren’t, so it’s weaponized, never mind the fact that when people go around calling everybody a racist, it desensitises people to ACTUAL racists being called out.

There’s a joke I heard recently:

Q: What is a racist?
A: Anyone winning an argument with a progressive

I started listening to this band again last year. It was fun while it lasted. Too bad dude is a piece of shit. Apparently another member is (Barlow?) too.

ICED EARTH’s Jon Schaffer Now Listed on FBI’s Most Wanted (metalinjection.net)

Maybe the FBI is still confirming or he’s on the run? Hope he’s caught sooner than later.
