Its almost like a group of people spent some money to organize multiple rallys to make a certain perspective seem super popular. Just so happens there are multiple threads per day here trying to force that same perspective.


Or you're being a little too "simple" and are missing that anti-lockdown anger knows no singular political perversion and those of us openly angry and speaking out are legit angry about it and from many political slants. Pssst, we all kinda figured that out weeks ago when we realized who was coalescing together as like minds of sorts on the topic here on the forum. Makes a big difference when you take the politi-blinders off for a change.

It’s only a matter of time before politicians are targeted for ruining people’s lives. They’ve been targeted for far less and when it happens this time, I’ll say it was called for and wouldn’t even give a guilty verdict if I sat as a juror on their trial. People are rightfully pissed off and politicians backing this destruction of people’s lives deserve the wrath of the citizens.

Hahahah
Oops my mistake, I wasn’t aware the post was about gun sales, oh wait it isn’t is it blueman, not at all blueman, is it?

It’s about people saying, armed groups of whites are saying they don’t want to be locked in anymore

Many manipulated by fear and paranoia? what the virus blueman, yes, to a point, till they get their guns out and say no more fear and paranoia and have the capacity to defend themselves. I misunderstood you blueman?

It’s not about gun sales blueman, never was, it’s about saying enough and having the capacity to enforce enough.

Why bring up gun sales blueman, it’s irrelevant
What’s your purpose, why mention gun sales
What’s driving your strawman argument
I never mentioned gun sales, very peculiar in my opinion

You are arguing that gun owners aren't as easily minipulated. Gun sales prove otherwise. Buying at high stress times show a cause and effect relationship. Aka.. minipulation. Which proves that gun owners aren't some zen monk idealists void of minipulation. They are human beings who happen to own guns. Many who bought out of fear and not ideological principles.

This idea that gun owners have some group ideological principles is nonsense. That's like saying all sword owners 1000 years ago believed in some fundamental principle.

YOU mentioned gun owners in your post. Gun sales have everything to do with gun owners.

And again the "socialist" just doesn't get it.

If you want to stay home, please by all means, stay home. I encourage you, and other "socialists" to stay home. And please, don't procreate either. It's bad for the environment.

For everyone else not reading the progressive based talking points, or living in fear, we will be coming out of hibernation here shortly and getting back to life.

It's whacked here in Georgia in 2018 there were 85202 deaths which averages 7100 a month and we are closing down the state over 889 deaths over a 3-month span. We don't even know if all those deaths are CoVid related. If it's so viral how did countries neighboring China avoid the onslaught of fatalities? Not to mention the real science of herd based immunity, which is more likely the quicker end result for the conclusion of this faux pandemic than a vaccine or effective treatment. An immunity that we are likely delaying by the extended lockdown.

I get it we had to try but those projections in February, we aren't even close to hitting even in a full year. Yes still isolate those at risk yes to social distancing and wear masks and even people that are scared to go back should have a grace period, but the rest need to go to work and see exactly what the ramifications this prolonged lockdown causes.

The quote from your account signature:



"Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind."
-Thomas Jefferson


Tell me, how does it sit with you that your signature quotes a Caucasian man, a slave owner, a self-acknowledged advocate of guns and target practice:



... I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independance to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.

The article in the OP is in regards to a number of sites starting with 'reopen'. More information can be found at domaintools.com and krebsonsecurity.com

The registrant of openmi.com masked their information but is likely not one of the Dorr brothers, given that the Dorr's primarily use godaddy while openmi.com used Network Solutions, LLC.

The majority of responses to this thread and other political threads on here are because they are alt right protesters themselves. Or they're too unhealthy to be marching in protest.

There are theories once everything opens back up there will be a big economic boom. So a small group of nut jobs want to open it up early.

"ALT RIGHT" : such an inane, useless categorization.

The people that use this term tend to have their political perspective skewed so far left....that everything not progressive is right to them.

Why do all of these thread titles include the word MANY?

Can you quantify the amount for us? How many IS many in your eyes? IN whatever source youre citing?

I can say that I believe the majority of people who would vote for a Democrat are really, really stupid, would that make me correct?

There's another gem: "White Nationalist". I'm reminded of that wonderful line in The Princess Bride...



You keep using that word; I do not think it means what you think it means.


If you're devoted to your country, and happen to be White, then that is portrayed in a negative fashion by the media now.

They're being verrry coy about it mind you; conflating a primary concern or interest in one's own country with fascism and international aggression, infused with racial language. Mind you, most of the people that are labeled "White Nationalist" by the MSM and their sycophants are not really "nationalist" at all. Yes, they love their country, and want to put political focus on the needs of US citizens, but when it comes down to it, these are not people advocating foreign wars or military adventurism. In fact, many "White Nationalists" are actually (dum dum DUM) ... isolationists, in terms of their views on foreign policy, which stands in stark contrast to the intended connotation of those labeling people as "Nationalist". But you see, somehow "White Patriotic Isolationist" doesn't inspire the same fervor and zeal, and resentment among certain segments of the population, as "White Nationalist".

People should pay attention to language, and how it is twisted and manipulated by the media to fit their agenda and worldview. These little puns and buzz words might work on the simple minded, but they don't stand up to a vigorous semantic scrutiny.

And I read today that there are lots of new 'right' facebook groups - 60% increase in last 3 months - 50% in last month - talking about violent overthrow of 'governments'. Something about bubaloo or boondoogle or something like that - I guess it's code of some not-so-secret sort.

When people are afraid they don't think very well. But then the almighty leader promotes sedition as well.

Am I the only one wondering how these protests would have went down if the protesters were predominantly not white and carrying guns??

As for the op, ya, these protests are being started up by pro-gun, and conservative groups.. along with some pretty big financial backers of the republican party.. should I be shocked??

At the end of the day, you know who I'm talking about, and you're defending them.
