Tree said:It's ironic that Tree's appeals to fear of all these different groups, whether they be criminal Mexicans,
How about you stop lying about my position?
Well, how about you SHOW that I am lying about your position first rather than asserting my supposed dishonesty as usual?
Tree said:I oppose illegal immigration and there's nothing "hostile" about telling foreigners to respect the borders of the US and migrate legally if they want to migrate at all.
Irrelevant. You also suggested that Mexicans are criminals.
Tree said:The Mexican government would not appreciate 11 million Americans all jumping the border with no papers, would they?
Presumably, it would depend a lot on the context.
Tree said:property-stealing communists,
Communist ideology relies on stealing property.
No, no it doesn't.
Tree said:always entails policies that are apparently designed to maximize hostility and cause the very conflicts he's supposedly warning us of.
And your solution to conflict is to just get along despite clear irreconcilable differences that are going to lead to conflict anyway on far worse terms.
And yet "my solution" (one you espoused for me) provably works because I live with Muslims and none of them have yet tried to murder me.
Kind of a problem for your garbled hate-mongering, isn't it?
Tree said:You're only delaying the inevitable. At every point in history when communists and other totalitarians were not challenged sufficiently, they went on to cause irreversible damage.
I am all for challenging totalitarians, but I don't see either communists or Muslims as necessarily being totalitarians, regardless of your assertions to the contrary. Ironically, you are espousing an aspect of totalitarianism where you simply judge entire sections of the populace as personae non gratae and seek to rile public sentiment against them, paint them as a real and present danger, and limit their freedoms.
Tree said:Except "white supremacist neo-Nazis" then you're happy to maximize hostility with them,....
It's funny how you claim I am lying about your position, but then you just keep making my position up for me.
At no point have I ever suggested that I want to do anything about white-supremacist neo-Nazis, however you repeatedly attempt to portray your viciousness as normal due to a false parity you have willfully manufactured out of thin air.
Tree said:... so you're not even consistent with your "let's all just get along" shtick. You selectively apply it.
Not only have I never once remotely suggested anything like 'let's all get along' - it being a strawman you've just made up - but I've also countered your numerous instances of lying about my alleged position regarding white-supremacists.

The problem, of course, is that I have never, in any way shape or form, advocated or advanced any argument about doing anything about any of these groups. Again, this is you trying to make me take a position which isn't mine. There is no parity here, it's an evasive tactic you keep using so you don't need to answer, or to pretend that your format of argumentation is justified because I am doing it.
In reality, I am not the one making hundreds of posts arguing against any group of people. Whereas you factually are doing that.
There is no parity whatsoever, which is why I keep rejecting it. You might not think I have a right to own my own position, but I will not allow you to make my position for me.
I don't think anyone on this forum would accept you making up their position for them. It is not a situation that can produce any reasoned discussion.
Again, Tree, while you may think your discursive malfeasance is a useful strategy, the people of this forum are too sophisticated to fall for such bullshit.
