• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Can I post from InfoWars and be believed?

Lol, unlikely...

Disclaimer...it's not because Alex Jones has never been right about anything...a few things he's talked about have ended up being true. However, in terms of that, his "win:loss" record is so poor that the safe bet has become to just assume he's crying wolf unless other sources corroborate his claims.

...and really that's his own fault. Sensationalizing everything and claiming every single tragic event has been an "inside job" for the last 15 years hasn't done anything to help his credibility.

Are 'Antifa' and the 'Alt-Right' Equally Violent?

tulc(MAGA by making everyone just as guilty as his supporters?) :scratch:

Yes, but this is either a loaded question, a misunderstanding or a misnomer. The term alt-right was coined by Richard Bertrand Spencer, a white nationalist that viewed his party as an alternative to the right, and further or more extreme right than that of the Republican party. As the alternate, or 'not of', but 'instead of' the traditional right party.

Alt-right is a self-assigned definition the White nationalists gave themselves. Reason being,the Alt-Right as a big-tent ideology that blends the ideas of neo-reactionaries (NRx-ers), who advocate a return to an antiquated, pseudo-libertarian government that supports “traditional western civilization”; “archeofuturists,” those who advocate for a return to “traditional values” as human biodiversity adherents (HBDers) and “race realists,” people who generally adhere to “scientific racism”; and other extreme-right ideologies. Alt-Right adherents stridently reject egalitarianism and universalism.

Such stances align with older forms of white racism, such as that interracial 'breeding', relationships, and even dialog can be, or is detrimental to a races survival, and that the survival of the White race is of more importance than equality. This is not a politically held view of the right. But since they believe in capitalism, gun rights, and other conservative ideals, they label themselves a right leaning.

BUT: Spencer insists that the Alt-Right is “a liberation from a left-right dialectic altogether.” Claiming the alt-right to be a party on their own rather than a subset of either. We have recently come to know the term, by Hillary Clinton using it on the campaign trail to label Trump supporters. Thusly, she has labeled all Trump supporters as White Nationists, by identifying Trump supporters with a term created by White Nationists to self-identify.
