Well, congratulations, DU... [View all]
Yeah, I know that it is against the rules to 'whine' about DU on this thread, but I'm not 'whining'. I'm stating a fact...
The fact is that the RWers who populate our site with varying degrees of efficiency and efficacy have finally managed to incite a 'mild-to-moderate' Civil War here, or, if you prefer, a War of Right Wing Aggression. Like Vietnam, it has been waged stealthily and carefully and I for one have become increasingly frustrated with the act of posting here, which is exactly what the bad guys wanted to occur. Lately we have had some outbreaks of epic scale of 'internecine' warfare.
The way I see it, an individual posits an idea, thought, observation, interpretation, commentary, breaking story, highlight, idiosyncratic occurrence, anomaly or other statement and the race is on! The battle begins to rage disproportionately over a turn of phrase, a word used 'questionably', a point of view, a regional opinion, a perceived prejudice, or other aspect of the OP or the response. The first poster, who had no intention of getting into a battle over that aspect of his or her post is then 'forced' to defend him or herself on this point, the larger context being completely forgotten. Others who do not want to enter the fray refrain from posting altogether, and the thread dies a sad death, a different version of the petit mort. Or, worse, scores of posts are placed in anger and antipathy grows.
This week we have had a controversy involving a long time member making an angry and vituperative post with hundreds of responses and many associated threads. This is what the Army ants are waiting for: a chance to swarm and go wild as we peck each other to death.
I can just feel many who read this getting ready to type a negative response. Tell me, before you do, if you have been here a while, do you notice that your thread or response is basically hijacked, turned away from its destination like a certain flight from Malaysia was, and you wind up attempting to defend your honor, your legitimate self-righteousness, and begin to wonder why you ever wasted your time on the post to begin with? I have been here since 2004, and was quite familiar with the angry tropes of the old days, but that was open warfare. These, as I stated before, are guerilla tactics and I'm not going to stop posting, just so you, whose mission it is to disrupt, know.
I (eagerly) await the expected and occasionally somewhat-contrived backlash...now I have to go forth and heal some sick people.

Dear PC DUmbass...you demented ****wads are always at war with each other.
Group identity politics is what leftism is all about.

Roger that. What's happening, you morons, is that you're coming to terms with the horror of 0losercare. Deal with it.

I was wondering when they would figure out that Will Pitt is a carefully crafted mole.

but I'm not 'whining'
No, that most surely appears to be whining. :lmao:
-
There is a 2 part method for disrupting DU.
1) Add to the insanity by reinforcing their every diseased idea
2) Inject a sane voice that challenges their heretofore unchallenged diseased ideas
Those two elements cannot coexist.
Since they refuse to part with their diseased ideas they have no choice but suffer from the disruptions brought on by the occasional injection of sanity.

Hee hee hee... all your DUmps are belong to us!

Yeah, apparently faggotry hasn't been receiving enough 'Victim' points lately with all the 'White privilege' and 'Rape culture' threads, so PCDouchebag feels compelled to cry for attention.

You have no idea, retard... But, like the Senior NCO Bunny Rabbit observed, we don't need to start fires, all we do is provide the match.

Whereas Conservatives are bound together by common core values, no matter how few they may be, the leftist horde are nothing more than a cabal of egos that are constantly jostling for the best position at the table.
That alone is the best contrast and comparison of the two groups and the best reasons why one group succeeds and the other is always doomed to failure.

Save your breath and enjoy the hordes of self important, over inflated, participation trophy jackasses that you helped create and will ultimately consume you.

5. The clever, insidious ones don't 'out themselves'...
some of them have been here for years and pick and choose battles very carefully. don't ever forget that St. Ronald of Reagan, who was the Union President of the Guild, was an FBI informer for years, as per the The New Republic article from decades ago.
Reagan never left the Democratic Party as he was so fond of saying...he was never rally IN the Democratic Party.
Ok, which one of you leaked this top-secret info!! BASTARDS!

Paranoia runs deep at DU. :mental:

Dear PC DUmbass...you demented ****wads are always at war with each other.
Group identity politics is what leftism is all about.

Charlie: [after inadvertantly shooting who turned out to be s neighbor and presumed to be the invader] No! No, it's nothing of the sort! I didn't blow the lights out; I swear I didn't! Someone's pulling a gag or something!
Steve Brand: A gag? A *gag*? Charlie, there's a man lying dead in the street, and you killed him; does that look like a gag to you?
Charlie: Look! Look, I swear it isn't me! I swear it isn't! But I know who it is! I know who the monster is! I know who it is that doesn't belong among us! I swear I know who it is!
Don: Alright, Charlie, let's hear it!
Charlie: It's... it's...
Les Goodman: What are you waiting for!
Don: Well, come on Charlie, come on!
Man: Who is it, Charlie? Tell us!
Charlie: It's the kid! It's Tommy! He's the one!

PCIntern is one of my moles.......... or is it?
It official, It's an "it".
Actually, it's JackPine Radical. Don't tell anyone.
-
MensesQueen and PeeBeyond have brought more discord than any mole I ever ran.
-
Anyone else find it weird how these people are always clawing at each other but fall in perfect lock step come election time?
-
I see treestar got a jab or 2 in.
I use my mole sparingly, too much DU gives me a headache.

Yeah, it's hell for them when one group ends up being pitted against another. They simply can't handle it. I remember during the OJ case it was women vs. blacks. Women lost that battle. It must be hard to figure out which is the bigger victim.
