    The downvotes tell me that tribalism is alive and well on the left.

    Dude said he wants to kill everyone that isn’t a trump supporter and you’re crying about tribalism on the left because of downvotes? Fucking seriously?

      Haven’t you heard? Clicking a down arrow on the internet is literally the exact same thing as making a death threat. Both sides are equally bad!

      No, Marblemouth said that. The guy’s a bad reporter and a reporter should never say, “I agree,” but rushing to condemn him over that is just as tribalistic as supporting him because he’s a, “right wing reporter.” (A thing that shouldn’t exist)

      If you really want to get him fired I’m sure he’s done way worse shit than not hear somebody.

      Anyway, I’ve already called talking about this a waste of energy yet here I am still talking about it, so I’m done. See ya.

        lmfao Ah, the fabled “both sides” of saying you want to murder political rivals. Incredible to see you here saying it so loudly and proudly.

          Haranguing me over saying “I dunno, it was loud and the guy can’t speak clearly. Maybe he didn’t actually understand what he said and was moving on, like we’ve all done.”

          Funny how people are completely ignoring the parts of my comments where I agree this guy sucks for other reasons, which are on display in the same video.

          Tribalism. The tribe has decided that I’m the enemy even though I am firmly on the side of anti-fascists, but you still have to be able to think for yourself, man. You’ve fallen for the divisionary tactics they use to make us fight each other.

            I didn’t ignore that part, I just find it quite interesting that even after going back and fixing your post with follow up comments, you doubled down with this.

              Is it not a loud event? Does the moron that actually said “Kill ‘em All” - or “Joe Mall” as I heard it myself - make sense to you? I had to listen to it twice to hear “Kill ‘em All.” Maybe I need to get my hearing checked?

              I was defending the reporter, but then I watched it again and was like, “oh, that part where he leads the guy on is the actual shitty thing he did that he wouldn’t be able to refute. It really doesn’t matter whether he agrees or not because I know he’s a piece of shit for that.”

              Like, string the guy up for the thing he actually did, not the thing with plausible deniability because it’s not going to go anywhere.

                Made pretty clear sense to me, yep. Because this isn’t a new revelation, and it’s not the first time we’ve heard this. Also, Joe Mall? Alrighty. You either haven’t watched the actual video, or you’re a terrible liar.

                https://twitter.com/AmoneyResists/status/1685368569347932160

                Go ahead and tell me how the reporter for RIGHT SIDE BROADCASTING NETWORK didn’t hear this dude properly? How he didn’t egg this yahoo on by saying the leftists, globalists, RINOs. Dude. You’re defending a reporter that told a rally attendee that he agreed with “kill 'em all”. You’re really going to die on this hill and blame US for downvoting you? lmfao

                Again, the ever elusive “two sides” of calling for death to political opponents is on display here and you’re not even ashamed of it. Incredible.

                  Nope, that’s the video. Like seriously. That guy is fucking unintelligible. Am I taking crazy pills here?

                  Like I’m Canadian dude, I don’t even have a say over there, but if it means anything to you for context, I’m an NDP voter here.

                  And yeah yeah I get it. He’s a real piece of shit. I’ve never heard of this organization.

                  Tell me you’ve never misheard someone in a loud environment and just nodded and moved on. I won’t believe you. I’m not saying he does or doesn’t agree, I’m just saying it’s a good enough argument for them and you’re not going to get anywhere with that.

                  I said he was egging him on by saying that and that’s the real thing to be upset about. Is there a typo in one of my previous comments I should fix?

                  Overemphasizing the importance of the thing with plausible deniability while ignoring the undeniable fact that he’s biased as fuck - which are both on display in that video - will not change anyone’s mind. Making me the bad guy for suggesting we shift focus to that just allows them to keep doin it.

                  I was just making a stoned joke about the moron’s inability to speak clearly and now I’m a Nazi. I’m having a great day thanks for asking. How’s yours?

                    Am I taking crazy pills here?

                    Yes. Flat out, yes you are. I’m from the US, and I understood him perfectly. He even said it twice to make sure you got it.

                    Tell me you’ve never misheard someone in a loud environment

                    It wasn’t a loud environment, it was outside the rally, standing in line, the guy was clearly audible, which is why the “reporter” volleyed back and forth with him, and encouraged his rhetoric TWICE. Once by adding a list of political enemies, and the second time agreeing we should “kill em all”.

                    I haven’t called you a Nazi, I’m just stunned by how happy you were to claim the reporter was totally misunderstood even though it’s clear as day in the actual video that he wasn’t. He said what he said, you attempted to defend him, realized your mistake, but then also kept defending him for some reason.

        I never mentioned the reporter.

        I was simply pointing out the absurdity of you crying about leftist tribalism because of downvotes on a video of a guy literally saying he wants to kill all non Trump supporters.

          And I was talking about how it’s not unreasonable to believe that the reporter couldn’t hear Marblemouth in a loud environment and wasn’t aware of what he was saying “I agree” too.

          Marblemouth can go fuck himself and if that’s what you’re bitching at me about then at least be on the same page.

          And you know what? Marblemouth votes. Do you?

            Ok, let’s get on the same page:

            Dipshit in the video: I want to kill all Biden voters.

            You: Tribalism on the left is the real problem because I’ve been downvoted on an anonymous Internet forum.

            Do you see the irony in your statement?

            I’ve voted in every major election since I was 18; thanks for asking.

              You made it to all the part where I said that without reading the rest of the comment?

              I don’t know what to tell you, man.

              This is a prime example of how these diversionary tactics work. I’m on your side, but I think this particular incident isn’t worth our time.

              People here are looking for a fight. I originally just said, “Sounds like he said ‘Joe Mall’” and I was told to gtfo and then further harangued for explaining myself.

              And it does sound like that. The guy can’t fucking talk, but the people he supports are stripping us of our rights because their propaganda has worked on him.

              Now you’ve wasted both our time arguing with me about it instead of doing something productive and they’ve won.
