'Elitism' is starting to parallel the term 'try-hard'.
They're both in our current vernacular to normalize- almost celebrate inferior qualities in humans: moronicness (elitism) and laziness (try-hard).
I assume my2hands was actually referring to all of us in this thread....
I know.
Those terms are feeble terms that are uttered by the weak to take the wind out of the sails of people who typically contribute much to society.
The backwards bumf**k slurs 'elitism' as he drools chewing tobacco down the front of his shirt (as if higher intelligence is something to be mocked). The lazy bastard snickers 'try-hard' to the person making great effort (as if doing so makes weak and feeble efforts acceptable and more 'the norm').
* I get the sense my2hands is using them in the context of being confrontational as he has become these past few weeks.
I'm not weak, i'm not a backwards bumfuck, and i don't chew tobacco. But i did learn as a child that name calling is not nice and is not acceptable, and has also been rampant since 2016.
Morons, idiots, suckers, blah, blah, blah...
You (us) blame trump for the toxic discourse we are currently experiencing...... not me, i blame you (us), it takes two sides to tango... congratulations on being Trumps dance partner and helping destroy common civility in our political atmosphere
Also, im not confrontational, you would know if i was... unless challenging the echo chamber in here is confrontational? You prefer everyone in a circle jerk agreeing with each other, slapping each other on the back, and calling everybody on the other side a fucking moron scumbag redneck?
When they go low, we go into the gutter... i learned name calling was wrong when i was a child... seems progressives and moderates forgot the lesson.
Carry on Cletus, I've got a reservation for us at Golden Corral tmw night and the end piece has your name on it
I own my shit, unlike most in here... i was once guilty of all the above... and sometimes still want to do it lol... but then i looked in the mirror, stepped back, had a realization, and decided to correct my ways.
But feel free to name call "the other side" if it makes you feel better... but it's not accomplishing anything, it's quite the opposite actually in my opinion
My point was obviously that you're still guilty of it, and that you haven't corrected your ways. You've just changed directions.
Calling out the rampant elitism and name-calling currently found with progressives and here is not name calling, or elitism.
Where am i calling people scum, losers, idiots, etc?
So you're judge and jury when it comes to what "names" are or are not acceptable? You've decided to consistently insult everyone here, and then for some reason expect everyone to acknowledge that you're on some kind of moral high ground, so yeah, you're acting like an AMT elitist, no question.
How have i insulted anybody? Disagreeing is not insulting
I would have thought that by now you'd know that I have no issues with disagreement. You can always assume that if I've got an issue like this it is because of something above and beyond simply disagreeing.
Trump's dance partner. Circle-jerk. In the gutter. Elitists (ad nauseam), echo chamber, accusing us being hypocrites (without warrant - you just base it on mindless assumptions), etc etc etc.
Yeah yeah, we get it, you think you've morally elevated yourself above us. We, the elitists.
I'm not above you, never claimed that. I just realize name calling and stereotyping 60 million people you never met as "fucking scum" is wrong and unhealthy.
You cant even own that as wrong
Again, I don't think I ever called 60 million people "fucking scum" - please quote me directly on that .... And again, owning something doesn't mean owning YOUR opinion. I don't own that what I've actually said as wrong or unhealthy because I don't think anything I've said is wrong or unhealthy. It's pretty simple! Like I said, I don't care if you think my opinion (my real one, not the inaccurate one you're applying to me) is wrong. I obviously don't think that, because if I did, I wouldn't be saying it.
And you are ACTING like you think you're above everybody here. You didn't need to actually say it.
he's taking what Thirty has said and applying it to everyone, it seems.
Well you're wrong here. He's referring to what Soul said.
So again... nice subtle attempt at my character here, Hugh. Piss off.
pardon? it was not a subtle attempt at anything, dude, sincerely. I don't recall Soul (or anyone else) referring to trump voters as scum or cletuses. you did. I'm not judging anything.
if I'm wrong, fine, but there was legitimately no attempt at character by any means.
"every society honours its live conformists and its dead troublemakers"
And Hugh's been tossing casual shots at me for a while now. He jumped into the DP thread to do it... and he found an opportunity here to do it too.
ok. I made one comment in the DP thread about people and their hypbole (yes, I was referring to you directly) a few weeks ago, but beyond that, I'm not sure where i've been "tossing casual shots at you for a while now". sorry you feel that way. There honestly is no ill intent on my part.
if Soul said it ("scum") my apologies. I didn't see it. I thought you said it. And it was merely an observation, not an insult in any way.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought you were taking shots at me. I ignored the one in the DP thread, but I thought you were piling on here. My bad. Interpretation can be tricky at times.
“Just the name Mueller” makes Team Trump Treason angry.
I'm starting to wonder what the name "Mueller" makes you. I think you're a bigger fan of him than you are of Pearl Jam.
I’d love to sit in a congressional hearing room and listen and watch as Team Mueller delivers his report but not 65 times.
On a somewhat related note, there's a group of people that follow Trump from town-to-town and are in the front row for all of his rallies...like how people follow Pearl Jam, Springsteen, etc. They chant "lock her up" the way we raise our arms in a "V" during Jeremy. I wonder what their conversations are like and if they're anything like what we say at Pearl Jam shows...
"I wonder what he's going to open with tonight."
"He played rapist-illegals at the last three shows. I wish he'd change the setlist up more."
"He has to play the hits like "Crooked Hillary" because for some people it's their first Trump show."
"There he goes again talking about his wall. Enough with the Pink Floyd covers already! He has enough of his own material, why do so many covers?"
I'll tell you something... That same walk I spied a USA attack helicopter fly out over the mad polluted water right next to my house. Other than BURNING GAS I'm not sure what the "mission" was. That flying killing machine became TOTALLY SILENT about here in the photo.
Must have been inspecting that flying fish positioned at about 10 o'clock from the helicopter.
I was wondering what that was as well. I'm pretty sure it's a seagull, but anyway experiencing or seeing military aircraft in action always spookes me.
Two seagulls one at 10 and one at 8 o'clock. sad really. We get some crazy aircraft around this area with a few Joint and Naval air stations around. The whole house shakes when choppers go straight North or South along the shoreline about 75 feet in the air. BURNING FUEL.
right next to Nationals Park. It crosses over the Anacostia river. Imagine yourself in traffic, not moving, heading toward DC, you can ALMOST see the Capitol Dome, right at the high point of that bridge. TWO of these pivoted and took a side of the river each and were coming right for me. They couldn't have been more than a hundred feet up.
They flew right by me and held their fire. Thank Christ.
Border control postpones Election Day "crowd control exercise" in El Paso
The government agency that oversees border patrol has postponed an Election Day "crowd control exercise" on Tuesday in El Paso, Texas, near a Hispanic neighborhood with about 100 residents. The exercise was to have taken place in the hometown of Beto O'Rourke, the Democratic Senate candidatewho's running a tight race against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.
Good article from Politico discussing what life will be like for the administration if the dems take the House. Talked about the Clinton, W, and Obama admins having to deal with similar circumstances. It sounds like it will be no fun at all for the White House, and I'm glad about that.
"Working for President Donald Trump has never been easy, but his staffers can expect a whole new level of mayhem if Democrats win control of the House on Tuesday.
Democratic control of even one chamber of Congress would unleash an onslaught of hearings, subpoenas and document demands as lawmakers investigate everything from the president’s personal tax returns to his controversial policies on immigration, health care and the environment."

It’s not about making the White House uncomfortable. It’s about getting to the truth, based on facts, and holding those who committed crimes accountable.
Good. That's like a democratic win. Make America Sane Again
Unless he becomes Jeff Flake and talks a big game but ultimately refuses to be a check in Trump.
