Wolfe and his fiancée, who witnessed the alleged assault, believe the attack was related to Wolfe being transgender, according to court documents.

    Go far enough left and you get your guns back, it’s more of neo-liberals who spurned firearms. With Trump 2.0 there’s been a serious uptick of people left of the reactionaries arming up and more importantly, training.

      Assuming you intend to disagree with me, which was the tone I took your comment in:

      1. You seem to think I wrote “American Left” by accident.

      2. You seem to think I wrote “for decades” by accident.

      3. You seem to think that I wrote the entire comment, especially including “Stay strapped or get clapped,” for no reason.

          Was more disagreeing it’s not the entire left in the USA, but I feel no need to extrapolate or converse with them further. It wasn’t intended to have any sort of tone other than generally conversational.

            Never said it was. Read more carefully.

            Then kindly don’t engage in arguments if you don’t want an argument.

                I wouldn’t say I was/am openly hostile, but I recognize that’s relative to what someone is used to so it may be that what I’ve written so far seems extremely hostile to you.

                I’d put it more along the lines of… critical? Some people think any criticism is hostile, and that’s a completely valid feeling; the downside of course is any time someone disagrees with you and points out why, you put up walls and refuse to learn.

                There’s obviously nothing I or you can do now to convince you that I wasn’t being hostile with that opening message, but just as obviously we think far less of each other after you’ve been shitty in return because you think it’s justified.

                I don’t suppose you lose anything from blocking me, a person who occasionally criticizes those who mischaracterize what I say, nor do I from blocking you, a person who likes to start arguments and then plug their ears as well as believes that criticism is fundamentally hostile enough to justify escalation; as they say, we have irreconcilable differences.

                In other words, you probably find me about as annoying as I find you.

                  Mischaracterization and insults and I would say attempts at provocation. If a person doesn’t want to argue with you, they don’t owe you an argument, especially as your tone to me is condescending throughout this.

                    Mischaracterization and […] attempts at provocation.

                    Ironic that you accuse me of that considering that’s what you actually did.

                    insults

                    What insults?

                    If a person doesn’t want to argue with you, they don’t owe you an argument, especially as your tone to me is condescending throughout this.

                    Then why did you start an argument by straw-manning me?

                    Your position now seems to be “I like to drop nonsense comments and I refuse to engage when people call me out for it.”

                    Okay. Kinda ridiculous, but you’re free to waste your time as you see fit. I kindly request you instead just write such things in a diary or other private entry so nobody else has to deal with that habit of yours, but obviously I can’t and wouldn’t stop you.
