Absolutely,  you go perform all the mental gymnastics you need over there. You and friends are Marxists in it's truest form your not fooling anyone.

Don’t you live in a van down by the river?

I dub thee a supporter of the "Vampiric Pot/Kettle Administration."

Long may you never objectively recognize your refection in the house of willingly shattered mirrors.

The Victim Party never gets to accuse anyone of political mental gymnastics. Especially with all the denial employed.

Protests today about the current administration are a sight to behold. From a sea of people in Boston resembling Woodstock to the rest of the world.

I wonder what % were paid and bussed in from other 'protests'
and what exactly they are protesting? Is it tariffs? 
So silly. 
PBS of course. . . 
Progressive BS. Network

Edit to say I agree that at least its peaceful, whatever it is. 

I was annoyed we had one in our smallish town the other day and it really fukt up traffic.
yeah i know im not being very compassionate to their concerns. 
I think because I know it's not going to do anything and it just shows me how sad humanity is. 
But that's my problem.

Didn't take long for the political spectrum to take hold here.

I dig it. I like the feistiness. Shows people actually have a pulse. Carry on....

Sure you will.

Does it cause discomfort that it's not like that other echo chamber or something?

You didn't get the joke. Lighten up a little, D33.

I feel like there should be a star button here as well.  :beer:

Fair enough.

But it was implied (through reference) by "cleaning this place up", it was meant drowning out dissenting opinion and make it more like the circle jerk that ATS became.

And you need to forget your sense of humor sometimes. It helps to overreact.

And boo to the stars/flags suggestion.

The rate button removal was like the best decision this site made.

This place is awesome because it lacks that overt mutual admiration and adulation club. The battle of who gets the most applause. It fights herd mentality by not feeding that pat on the back for being a cool kid.

Like herd stratification + a brain chemical fix for being accepted. It's like the foundation of all borg collective.

I don't know about others, but being agreed with or driven by positive reinforcement for my redundant (liked) opinion from like minds is kinda self-destructive to me.

An 'incel circle jerk'? This phrase in of itself, is incredibley judgmental. I actually took you for more of an intellect. 

So let's play on with our participation trophies, sister. Ironically, on ATS, I starred all sorts of posts that I didn't agree with. It was the content that drove my admiration. Not the partisanship. But you do you.

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

Sorry, retracted that before you posted.

After realizing Incel wasn't universal enough to qualify. While there is some annoying "might is right" Misogyny, it just parrots the elected administration.

I removed it because I felt it was too baiting (and emotion based) and unfair to the many women and non-incel guys that post there.

But circle jerk is still valid.
