All of that is pretty fail but

>Nonviolence is statist

Since when? Statism requires the use of violence in order to even function.

I have a feeling that "Statist" is being used in a slightly different context here, as in "non-violence supports those who use force to enforce policies with which I disagree". (It's perfectly fine, apparently, to use force to enforce policies with which I do agree, otherwise I wouldn't be holding this stupid sign on the street in the middle of the night.)

I'd love to hear her explanation on how it's racist, and patriachist, and I'd like to know what the fifth thing is.

How effective it is, I would suppose, depends on what the circumstance is.

This is a comment to Lee Doren's latest video regarding Eric Garner:

First of all, he was suspected of selling said cigarettes.  Secondly how does any corporation have any right to dictate how their customers redistribute property they've given to them without so much as a written contract?  Such an 'informal' agreement would have no standing in court.  Third, the corporation's investments are irrelevant.  Video game companies spend millions on developing video games, but if some people think it's not worth $60 then they have no right to force them to buy at that price.  Top it all off with a strawman argument, he did not deserve to die let alone thrown in jail for his wrong-doing.

It's one of the tragic consequences of government intervention, it turns the citizens against each other because the law abiding ones feel like chumps as the law breakers end up making all the money.
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"

It would make for a very convenient way to get all the SJW's off the streets.


I'm glad I never run into statements like that in the wild. Reading these SJW statements, especially all crammed together like that...makes me wonder... how the fuck do these people get through their daily lives? I mean, I'm reasonably sure they have to deal with men or whites or whatever at some point and if you assume "wrong because penis", I can't imagine any conversation you have with ANYONE being very productive.

It's like I once asked on a comment "Do these people talk about ANYTHING else or is it just gender nonsense all day long?  They must be a hit at parties."

This is almost so fail it's hilarious

Quote"but when was the last time anyone called for regulators to go easier on companies that put lead in children's toys, or for food inspectors to stop checking whether the meat in our grocery store is crawling with deadly bacteria, or for the FDA to ignore whether morning sickness drugs will cause horrible deformities in little babies? We never hear that."

THIS old bit of fear mongerng? How many times have we heard these before again? There HAS to be a Fallacy. I want to say it's appeal to emoton.

Why appeal to incredulity of course!
Working every day to expose the terrible price we pay for government.

How about the old, Government Doesn't Work Fallacy?

"Tests on more than 1,200 children's products, most of them still on store shelves, found that 35 percent contain lead — many with levels far above the federal recall standard used for lead paint."
