Her Superbowl performance cracked the feeble minds of right wingers. She had everyone from Peter King to Guiliani and more crying about the war on cops and how the Black Panthers were literally the KKK for black people.

In the entire history of the KKK have any of their leaders been assassinated by authorities, or followers bombed? Real question, I genuinely believe that it's never happened, making the wingnut comparison between them even more laughable, so I wonder if it has ever happened to them in kind?

Kind of incredible that white people finally gathered the testicular fortitude after a hundred years to put a stop to Africans forcing White people to buy slaves, not only from overseas, but from within White people countries as well.

Truly, the outsized influence of the dark continent shone a large a shadow on our country's history, its policies making white people to keep Africans as slaves.

I am often surprised that these facts are not taught to our schoolchildren, for the fight for liberty to free itself from the clutches of Britain pales in comparison to the blood spilt to liberate itself from the shackles of African colonial policy.

Yeap. It was white Americans that kept slavery going for many years after most of Europe gave it up. It was also white Americans that launched the American Civil War, the bloodiest war in the country's history, in order to keep slavery going.

I'm just curious why Crowder knows of Stephoknee and the plus sized model.

I mean, I didn't - you'd have to get pretty involved to get familiar with specifically terrible people like that.

I wonder if he has something to share with us about his inner feelings.

because they are easy targets for the alt right and fit into there anti-special snowflake messaging. it doesnt matter if assholes like stephoknee are outcasts and hated by their respective communties. the alt-right can say that all trans people are nutjob child fuckers.

actualy Portuguese by a couple years. they basically took advantage of the inter tribal conflicts(losers were slaves, though i dont believe it was chattel slavery) and armed the stronger sides. then they got the slaves. so crowder is "right" in a sense, because slavery was there and the Portuguese/Spanish took advantage of ongoing conflicts, but the Europeans brought about the chattel race based slavery we know about. yes the ottomans had slavery too, but it was more roman kind of slavery then chattel. at the end of the day crowded is a prick.

You're trying to convince people to change their minds with evidence. They're trying to appeal to people who already believe in them by creating "evidence" that says they aren't terrible people for their terrible opinions.

Actually lately I've been playing their game and enjoying it greatly. Making up my own narrative on the fly and posting stuff tagging them with no fact checking or critical thought at all.

See that's your first mistake, you're thinking at all. Find some left wing extremist facebook pages and share their stuff until you get a feel for how the zero-information grift goes, then just do random google image searches and invent a narrative that touches on whatever is in the news today.

NO NAMES, NO BACK STORY, NO SOURCES. This is key, do not fall into old habits, they will burn you in the wilds of nutjob country. Makes lots of heavy handed emotional appeals, you can't go too heavy here. Your job now is to make them do the job that you were doing before. If they try to prove you wrong that Trump did not, in fact, say he admired the communists in China during the Vietnam war and wished that America could embrace those values, then they've left their bubble and you are cleared to dunk. As ever with the right wing, be prepared to call them out for pivoting wildly
