Sup Forums, and perhaps the newly energized right, is coming to a head on one issue.
That issue is whether it is right to 'go after' various individuals for their transgressions against others. It could be SNL figures for attacking Barron, or it could be that fat bitch for lighting a Trump supporter's hair on fire.
One side seems to think this vigilante life ruining is equivalent to the tactics of SJW's, who routinely get individuals fired from the workplace, expelled from campus, etc.
The other side seems to think that targeting these individuals is a necessary evil, fighting fire with fire, and the first step at regaining some cultural footholds.
What say you? Is it proper to target these people? Do some circumstances, such as criminal conduct, allow for the targeting more than others?

We're sitting on a powder keg and nobody in their right mind wants to ignite it
lefties do ofcourse because they are losing and want the whole shithouse to go up in flames with them
Levi Phillips
The girl who lit the girl's hair on fire and the guy who punched Richard Spencer are criminals and they should absolutely be found and arrested , like any criminal.
Mason Lewis
the criminal stuff is way different than the jokes
Anthony Watson
I certainly agree with the former. I suppose it's one thing to find someone that assaulted another person, but we shouldn't trying to run people's lives over mean tweets. Isn't part of our whole thing freedom of speech and not being silenced by a zeitgeist. If so that is true for our opponents as well. If what we believe is right we won't need to silence our opponents.

>Lighting a Drumpf supporter's hair on fire Anyone who violates the NAP should be shot as soon as possible. It's as simple as that tbqh.

SJWs try to get people fired from their jobs because of their innocuous personal beliefs. Remember Donglegate? That's the type of shit that SJWs are all about.
There's a pretty huge difference between identifying criminals and rioters, and harassing people for refusing to submit to leftist brainwashing.
As for that miserable hack writer on SNL who has apparently been fired for talking shit about Barron, I agree with you there. She's a despicable moron for attacking a 10 year old, but going after careers and livelihoods is very scummy. She didn't do anything illegal.
Jonathan Campbell
The new right isn't the side saying they practice tolerance and acceptance and then doing the opposite at every turn. Rather, the new right seems to simply want justice against those who do wrong. The new right hasn't become the monsters they fight but must be wary of not crossing the line.
Michael Ramirez
So I agree with you on both counts.
I think others, however, won't be so swayed.
What do you say to those that argue we're ceding cultural ground by permitting various character attacks without response? Is the fighting fire with fire analysis apt? Or is it childish?
Jaxon Campbell
Dude shut the fuck up.

This is war user fuck ethics. Its fine when we do it.

Chances are almost everyone agrees that it's a bad thing. You forget where you are though. This place isn't exactly a bastion of morality and kindness. Even if Sup Forums unanimously agrees that it's wrong to get people fired for their opinions, there will always be a large group of cheeky little cunts here who will do it anyway. They probably even acknowledge that it's a shitty thing to do, but they'll still do it for a laugh. It's the way this place works.
>What do you say to those that argue we're ceding cultural ground by permitting various character attacks without response?
No one gives a fuck about the media's personal attacks. If they did, then Trump would never have won. They can say whatever they want about him, but they're just pissing in the wind. Every insult or joke that they can make has already been made 10,000 times in the last 18 months anyway. Even the "groundbreaking" and "historic" cultural moments (like Streep's speech) are forgotten within hours. We aren't ceding any cultural ground because no one cares in the first place. Even if we were it wouldn't matter because Western culture is a miserable radioactive wasteland at the moment.
I will say that it's a great shame that there aren't more rightwing voices in comedy and in the mainstream media. Getting shitty writers fired won't change that though.
Connor Morris
These two differing views are why I made the thread.
I acknowledge that Sup Forums is ever the wildcard with no consistent message, and that's a good thing.
All the same, sorting out the tension between these two ideas will be important in the coming months. The physical and verbal attacks are just beginning, a unified way to respond is better than fragmentation.

The idea is to get people on the left to realize that it's not fun when suddenly the gun is in the other person's hand. We've had a 20-25 year march of political correctness, and it really crescendoed in the past 5 years in terms of level of absurdity and the tactics used by liberals and leftists, think about that Mozilla guy being forced to step down because he gave money to a campaign against gay marriage back when there was little belief that it would happen outside of very liberal places. PC has reached its peak and the wave is crashing, if they have their tactics used against them it will hold them off from quickly resurrecting them and instead perhaps understanding why civil disagreement is better.
Jaxson Parker
Hold them to their own book of rules. It is absolutely insane to think that you can beat them while holding yourself to the higher standard. These children (and they are, by majority, overgrown children) cannot be allowed to do anything and everything they like to fight what they perceive as an absolute evil while we sit idly by for some smug sense of superiority. When they hit low we must go lower. They want to take a cheap shot at the groin we take their knees. They hit our knees we dig under them and blow them sky high.
They think someone being sexist should have their lives ruined over a comment? Turn them into the equivalent of toxic waste to their employers. A site wants to advocate for the end of whites? Tell their advertisers it made you not want their products and services. They think it's fine to attack anyone as long as they label the victim a fascist? Get them on a terrorist organization list.
Besides, it's Sup Forums. What's done in Sup Forums name is done by Sup Forums. As long as you arnt a tripfag and know how a proxy works your fine to do whatever you please.
Zachary Long
used to be in this country, if other countries made fun of your leadership they were dicks, if you made fun of your country's leadership privately you were a dick, but if you made fun of your country's leadership publicly and to another country, you were comitting treason.
We should go back to some form of that, in otherwords banned from television.
Levi Stewart

Jayden James
Well it's all up to the user really. I should also add I love watching liberals have to deal with problems they set the precedent for, like Biden denying Bush's USSC nomination then bitching when someone did it to Obama. Or Trump's tax credits that were a result of a Clinton written and approved bill
Ayden Jones

Oh hey, I came here to see if anyone on Sup Forums had heard of this.
Nicholas Jackson
Daily reminder :
March of the #PARASITEGENDER - the biggest accumulation of fascist parasites that year - - - - - - - - - - - -
Women - no culture, not civilised, no honesty, no intelligence, no responsibilities, just lies, falsehood and hate and pure, unhinged parasitism. Women are more animals than humans .... honestly. Man im happy, not to be part of the degenerated part of mankind, the utterly useless, the parasitical, the scumlike, the destructive and evil, the ever negative, the ever burden, the ever retarded, aka females. I am a man and more proud and happy and thankfull than ever about being part of the humane gender, the good half of humanity
Landon White
While there is an ethical problem, per se, regarding upholding freedom of speech, I think the end goal of having them get a taste of their own medicine is a fine justification for attacking them using such methods.
They need to see the error of their ways and the best way to do that is for them to experience it.
Grayson Anderson
/ck/ here. I think I can cook something similar, possibly more aesthetically pleasing. Will maybe try later.
Anthony Barnes
The only fallacy here is thinking that SJW's are open minded and subject to change their beliefs. Rather, the opposite is true. They always double down.
If the SNL writer loses her job, it won't be her fault. She won't look in the mirror. Rather, it's the alt-right's fault. The deplorable Trump supporters cost her the job, her actions were morally sacrosanct.
I guess this is another way of saying 'civil war II when?'
Matthew Jackson
OP here. Picture on the left is more my style of Dan Dan, much more dry, none of the soupiness.
BUT, the noodles are way too fucking thick in this picture. Noodles in the OP are the right consistency, which is why I chose that image.
William Smith
Its not a serious problem when they actually commit crimes
Enforce the law and fuck them with nightsticks
Jose Walker
Stop being proud of something that isn't even an accomplishment, you fucking moron. Black pride, gay pride, male pride, those are for individuals who are afraid of facing the reality that they are worthless and without merit. You were incidentally born male, just as women are incidentally born female, and there's nothing to be proud or ashamed of for those things. Instead, conduct yourself with dignity and be proud of that; something literally everyone is capable of choosing.
"The good half of humanity", seriously. What an asinine thing to say. As if you don't personally know dozens of absolute idiots, degenerates, and jerks who are male. This isn't a gendered issue, and if you try to spin it as one then you're as bad as the people who you despise.
Charles Reed
You're retarded. Absolutely moronic, that post. What the fuck is wrong with you? If you can't handle the jokes, just change the channel or turn it off. The stupidest thing I've read all week and it's only Monday.
Nolan Harris
Meh 2017 needs to be the year of shame. Everywhere you go act like your on pol
I have to say it's liberating and extremely satisfiing.
Andrew Gonzalez
An eye for an eye user. We can't treat people with respect if those people literally want us dead. They will, without question, resort to the worst, dirtiest, underhanded tactics available to them, and it's been made clear to us that while they love to brag about how they're moral human beings that want a peaceful and united democratic society free of hate, they are anything but. They will never, ever think of us as anything but genocidal monsters who want to ruin everything mankind has built, no matter how "fair" and "honourable" we act towards them. And they're more than happy to include anyone in that group as long as it suits them. After all, the worst Trump has said is that he wants to control Illegal Immigration and deal with Islamic terrorism, and that's tame compared to what they pretend he's like.
Honestly, fuck the left, and fuck treating them like human beings. They're scum, and they should be dealt with as such. If they unironically support White Genocide, will actively defend a warmongering ideology like Islam, and if they light you on fire for voting a candidate they don't like, then they deserve nothing better than to be shut down by any means.
Ian Perry
Read the thread faggot.
There is a tension between these two views, something I wanted to discuss.
Go be a waste of space somewhere else.
Nathan Martinez
This. I have absolutely no sympathy or mercy for leftists.
