Again, let's review, shall we? You made a post justifying gun ownership as a means of standing up to an abusive government. I responded, pointing to the incidents at Waco and Ruby Ridge, noting that they were well armed and were no match for our government. Is that moving the goal post or on topic? I'd say on topic and directly addressing your point.
Then Prescott Trojan chimed in with 1/6. Was that on topic? No -- not directly. He took my point about armed people being no match for our government as some sort of misguided claim that 1/6 wasn't an insurrection . As if it the fact that rioters couldn't succeed meant it wasn't an insurrection. Regardless of how you feel about that, he was the one who moved the goalpost -- not me. From there, it digressed to a discussion of 1/6. Then it went from there were no weapons, (yes, there were) to yeah, but, how many people died. Again, who moved the goalpost?
Then it went from 1/6 to "whattabout BLM,." Relevant? Sure. But who moved the goalpost? Then it went to whattabout protests outside people's home. Again, who is moving the goalpost? Then I noted that people who think the term "insurrectionist" is incendiary have no problem calling their political oppononents "traitors." Relevant? I think so. Moving the goalpost? Maybe.
Then xuscx concurred and brought it back to the topic of 1/6 noting, "They are also ok shooting unarmed people and calling it self defense as long as the victim is black, shoot a white person with a mob breaking thru a door is murder."
To which Moon demanded that xuscx cite examples of anyone defending the shooting of a
compliant unarmed black man when "compliant" was never part of xuscx' s claim.
But yeah, I'm the one moving the goalposts. SMH
