OH - Haitian migrants eating cats?

[Invisible Man]

Nothing will change until my people are awoken from the self loathing mind virus.

On behalf of whites, please stop calling the rest of us your people. We aren't.

I second that. Wholeheartedly.

That is not a flaw. If the majority of people are wrong about something, we should present arguments to change their minds, not just go along with them because they're the majority.

Depends upon the issue. Choose your battles wisely. Promoting eating cats and dogs is not a hill to die on in America.

Much less should we suddenly decide to jump on the bandwagon just because Trump did. And if that's not what's happening here, then please find all the threads over the years where anybody in this forum ever thought that other people eating feral cats, dogs, or geese, was an issue of any importance.

Notably, you haven't even tried to argue that anything I've said is even wrong.

I've argued the entire time that you are wrong that eating cats and dogs is simply a "Trump" issue, as if the Humane Society and SPCA was created last week.

Your position seems to be essentially, "Yes, it's true that the lives of the people of Springfield have been improved by the sudden decrease of the feral cat population. But Sarah McLauchlan is against eating cat meat, so it would be dumb of us not to pretend she's right."

There you go, making things up again.

Nobody cares about the debt anymore. Nobody cares about ridding TSA and other 3 letter agencies either. The talk nowadays is that National Academies are not a concern or an issue, as long as the "other side" doesn't do it first.

What, now we shouldn't talk about what we are allowed/not allowed to eat in our own homes? Pick our battles wisely?

What can/should we be able to talk about??? The weather, as provided by the 1st Amendment?

It's an issue that Trumpers suddenly decided to care about because Trump told them to, and it proved to be handy for anti-immigration propaganda.

You can not improve yourself if you hate yourself.

Boy, that's true.

What's more, we can't come together as a tribe and defend ourselves if we're constantly getting our panties twisted every time one of our own disagrees with us on any little thing. Like, for example, getting mad at me because, given that we aren't ferreting out the cause of the problem, I don't see the value in wasting this moment trying to treat the symptoms.

Just to be clear: I am not anti-immigration. I am against tax payer money being used to bring them here, and the requirement that they must become property of the government and via documentation.

There you go, making things up again.

Am I wrong? Is the bolded part something you disagree with?

If so, I'd love to hear whatever argument you can come up with for your position. Hopefully something better than, "because Sarah McLachlan said so."

Seems like just the opposite to me:

Vance and Trump are Johnnies-come-lately to the story.

The story didn't blow up because they started talking about it.

They started talking about it because it blew up.

 

[Invisible Man]

Seems like just the opposite to me:

I think it's the opposite of what you say.

It may have had some steam among a limited subset of the population before that debate. And if so, that was because of the second part of what I said, Trumpers bringing it up just because it served the purpose of being handy anti-immigration propaganda.

But it didn't blow up until Trump brought it up in the debate. I had never heard of the story, and neither had most other people.

Brian's statement is true. Yours, only sorta -- it was Vance more than Trump, and the story was already going. What Trump and Vance mainly got going was the forever effort by people in denial to deny Trump and his people are a pack of liars.

The people running this psyop are masters at division. They scared the hell out of people with that pretend pandemic, which led to a lot of seniors getting jabbed and killed because the fearful side of the family went all Machiavellian in insisting it happen, thus completely railroading the cooler and wiser heads of the clan. Some families will never recover from that.

And here they have you quibbling with Brian over nothing. He's not wrong. Your position can be right as rain, but that'll never, ever make it popular.

*shrug*

As with most (all ?) such things, I suppose what "blow[ing] up" means in this context depends entirely upon how that meaning services one's own "emotional truth".

Nope.

 

[Anti Federalist]

This is off topic of this thread, but this is much more important.

This is one reason why there is room in Springfield for 20,000 Haitian bioweapons.

There can be no unity.

There can be no compromise.

There can be no "reaching across the aisle".

There can be no peace, with people who think this is perfectly OK.

One must prevail and the other stamped out of existence.

There is no other way.

JFC...assuming this is happening, Haitians eating cats, which I'll admit I've seen no hard evidence of such in Springfield but I've certainly seen it before, both in Haiti and South Florida, but never mind that.

It's a matter of norms, civility and standards.

I don't want to live in a community where my pet cat might end up on a spit for dinner, regardless of whose meal it is going to become.

I have right to say that and prevent that from happening.

You'd argue the "right" to shit on the street.

I have no idea if the feral cat population decreased in Springfield, or if any Haitians in that area have actually eaten any cats. But I repeat myself:

I'm skeptical it's Haitians, just as I was with the original story.

You never know. In California, coyotes are notorious for hunting cats.

But I do know that the DOJ (government) is on the case, to make sure that no one makes any hate speech!

[dannno]

You don't understand. In @dannno's world there are only two kinds of people. Those who absolutely love Trump and defend him no matter what sort of mental gymnastics pretzels they have to twist themselves into and people with "TDS." That's it.

Incorrect..

People with TDS can't think straight when it comes to any subject that is related to Trump. They will do all sorts of mental gymnastics to make sure they fit within the media narrative.

I don't think I accused you of having TDS, did I? Maybe.. but I don't think so. You're more borderline TDS. This issue you seem to be obtuse on because you think it is something to do with race.. when a good portion of the best witnesses we have are actually african american.

 

[acptulsa]

It's more correct than you'll ever admit, even to yourself.

You've "diagnosed" me as deranged before. Point to one single instance of me "fit[ting] within the media narrative."

Fact is, you don't call people deranged for echoing the bullshow. You call people that for disagreeing with you on that subject. And since you let Tim Pool do your thinking for you, what's happening is that you're doing mental gymnastics looking for an excuse to malign, discredit and demonize anyone who doesn't fit within the mainstream media's Alt-Right Division narrative.

Don't even embarrass yourself by vowing that there is no such thing. The Deep State is all about divisions these days. The government always has been.

Ya you have TDS because you can never admit that Trump did something good. Pretty sure jmdrake has.

Even TDS sufferers might reluctantly admit he did something good, but then come back with "but he's a nazi and wants to destroy muh democracy!!"

There are a lot of folks who consider chickens, pigs and cows as pets. Yet I still eat them.

Careful there, A/F, you are borderline sounding like those commie folks who are pushing insects and synthetic meat as a matter of norms, civility and standards.

If I am hungry enough [due to the upcoming economic collapse] and I see a cat-on-a-stick dripping with bbq sauce, damned right I'm gonna eat the thing ;-)
