This is like the most American of American anything. Beats apple pie and baseball by a long mile. And it's not just Freep or conservatives. Look how many 'normal' people make media properties their entire identity. Back the Blue is just another entry in that dubious tradition of selling identities for profit extraction.

I don’t see that there is anything racist in the world. It is a BS concept. In a sane country or world, you laugh at the absurd. You are entertained by stories. They don’t have to be true, Hollywood sticking to only the true facts of things? Hasn’t and won’t happen.

We are supposed to live in a free world, let the market decide and LEAVE PEOPLE BE.

I would like to see the movie they showed the negroes in 1968 High School assemblies, only attended by negroes. I remember friends of mine who came out enraged. Walking as a group, all 10 or so of the black kids in my school. They were aggressive, and even beat up a friend of mind. Until this time, they were just kids in my school. After this, only 2 of them were ever just “part of the school” again. Something changed that day, and I am sure the assembly was held in every HS in the US.

Man is capable a of great evil when he rejects God. Those jews involved rejected god, as did those germans.

Not everyone was complicit, obviously. Individuap free will makes each complicit.

Think about this....lovey dovey love the sinner not the sin Jesus RIPPED THE PHARISEES to shreds verbally many times, yet during the passion, accepted everyone’s sins atoning upon himself.

Germans, Jews, stop hating yourselfs and feeling the world hates you. The individuals involved were properly dealt with and forgiven or cast into hell. It’s over! Except for you and me individually it continues, our free will and need to repent of our own committed sins.

Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL!

Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc.

We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "commrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.

Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be sure we come out of this with a Republican president, house and senate. The only way we can accomplish that is to unify the Republican Party. We can't destroy our own candidates. Whoever it is will need to pull us ALL together. Keep the ultimate goal in sight - Freedom! We are not here to fight each other. We are here as allies to fight for God, family, country, and FREEDOM! As William Wallace said in Brave Heart, "Unite the clans!".

Your personal favorite may be Ron DeSantis, mine happens to be President Trump. But if DeSantis receives the nomination, I'll support him, as I hope most other FReepers will.

Incidentally, we are getting way too much profanity. This is NOT DU, this is NOT CNN - (in deep voice) this IS FR!

Finally, if someone says STOP, then STOP! If someone asks you to take them off your ping list, then take them off! If someone asks you to stop posting to them, the adult and polite thing to do is to accommodate them.

I have been wondering about this as well.

There are times when I have engaged in discourse with someone who is so weirdly irrational and off-topic that I wonder if they are drunk, on drugs, or having a breakdown.

That there is an element of suspicion of each of those things in a number of posts we see is undeniable, but I have been seeing more of it lately, and that makes me wonder if it is coordinated posting by humans or AI Bots, and lately, I have been wondering even more about that.

I was on a thread the other day where the discourse became so weirdly disjointed and irrational that I thought it was either fully intentional psy-ops by entities from outside of FR or the result of malicious AI.

The Trump/DeSantis or Russia/Ukraine threads reek of this.

I often avoid going into them and posting in them now due to the "you're a Putinsta" if you think we shouldn't be there and you're a globohomo supporter" if you think we should, and in the threads about the Presidential raceas where it assumes the forms of "you think Trump is God" if you like him and you "you support the Deep State" if you support Desantis.

I dislike that I have to self-censor by going into them, and that is one thing. There are lots of things to talk about.

But the problem is, every thread, no matter how seemingly distant from the subjects of Trump/DeSantis or Russia/Ukraine, is intentionally turned into one, often by many of the same people.

And that is what makes me suspicious of malicious intent from extra-FR sources.

If that sounds like a conspiracy theory, we should keep in mind that many, if not most of our "conspiracy theories" attributed to us on "the Right" have turned out to be true.

All this said, I struggle to remain civil, and try to improve and not repeat it when I find I deviate from that path. So I promise to keep trying to improve and stay on the path of civility.

“the discourse became so weirdly disjointed and irrational”

Yes. It’s like there’s a random word generator spitting out words connected to a topic. There’s a subject, verb, and object, with some fill-in words thrown in to the mix. The post is spewed out in drive-by fashion. As additional posts are made, they become more extreme. Weird.
