The Irony Oremine

[Figueira]

It's easy to forget just how hackish people who post on this site are.

This thread really has turned into a way for Hillarybros and Sandershacks to passive-aggressively complain about each other.

"Good!" the bros cry, confirming their status as the Gamergate of politics.

Are you going to explain how that is ironic or are you going to just dump it here and hope that nobody calls you out?

I thought that people were supposed to post quotes here without comment, just like the deluge, good post gallery, etc.

But fine, if you're going to "call me out on it," I'll explain: Oakvale is a Trump supporter. It is ironic that an online Trump supporter would accuse someone else of being the Gamergate of politics, seeing as Trump's supporters are the most Gamergatey of all the campaigns. However, as I said in the thread, the people who Oakvale was criticizing could also be described as the Gamergate of politics, so it's only partially ironic.

I'm the Gamergate of politics?

Sorry, I should have clarified. Not Sanders supporters in general (I'm one too) but specifically the people who are harassing superdelegates and stuff like that.

There are just some Democrats who are just  so darn annoying on here

Why does anyone give a sh**t that someone kneeled?

Conservatives aren't happy unless they are outraged by something.

Lol. 

This is pretty funny.

TBF Conservatives are very prone to outrage too. Almost to the same degree. But they manage to be less annoying somehow.

     Conservative and liberal outrage differ in important ways, principally in terms of differing attitudes toward change. I find a great deal of liberal outrage hilariously overwrought (often coming down to calling policies that were the accepted law of the land just a decade ago irredeemably evil), but I am sure you could find any number of liberals who are happy to express the same opinion about conservative outrage. As it happens, perspective counts.

I love seeing conservatives using the "legal=perfectly OK" argument.
