I wouldn't call him a troll. Rusty is the political expert guy that wants to be the smartest in the room. It's nothing to me to have disagreements, long as we agree on the distination. I've been having these exact same discussions with people I know. People that are Democrat gangbangers, they rep it hard.
and when the discussion is over we back to being cool.
Please call it what it is.
He's a political hack and a regurgitator extraordinaire.
He's comfortable talking the way he does on here because he recognized a long time ago that the barrier to entry on the political talk on this message board is
comically low, so he can pretty much say whatever he wants and it goes virtually unchecked.
His whole game is to feel you out, throw jabs and assorted back handed comments and once he gauges whether you pose a threat to him, he'll either get condescending and attack you with rhetoric that he knows the majority of people that frequent NT aren't going to entertain, in which case whoever he is arguing with will either resort to a personal insult (which he will immediately report to Meth) or say something stupid (which he had predicted when he first decided to engage)... this leads to a situation where he feels like he won. Or he will find that you either present such an affront/ threat to his sensibilities that he will no longer engage with you out of fear or he will assess that you actually do contain a certain level of intellectual rigor and it's in his best interests to make a light hearted gesture towards you so that he doesn't get publicly flogged. But mainly he goes the esoteric route in hopes of getting some kind of ad hominem attack from you in return at which point he just has to hit the report button.
Hit permanent press, set the timer, walk away and repeat.
He relies on the
@dwalk31 @bigrockford @InTheHallway and numerous other race baiters and trolls on NT so that he can comfortably sit on his high horse, talk down to people and get chummy reps whenever he utters the sarcastic corny hashtag #cancelcrusty. Dwalk, bigRockford, and hallway are all trolls that most reasonable people would ignore but Rusty salivates at the thought of them posting more low hanging fruit so he is always laying in wait for them to make their next inane post.
He's Don Lemon, Jayson Blair of New York Times Fame, Marc Lamont Hill, the annoying, idealistic and outright Fake parts of AOC, three parts Jason Whitlock, with the volume and verboseness of Michael Eric Dyson, with a hearty sprinkling of Harriet Beecher Stowe's most famous character and none of the credentials, accolades or qualifications of any of the aforementioned individuals (not to mention his embarrassingly poor grammar --your mans doesn't know the difference between 'to' and 'too', [see above]... if that's not enough see his other posts where he thinks he's making a point but really just making a mockery of the King's English).
Speaking of grammar- I'll admit that nobody is perfect (myself included) as far as that goes but considering the way dude talks to people, his **** should be airtight and mistake free.
That's your mans though.
And I don't give a single **** if he reads, ignores, replies, or otherwise.
Oh and FWIW regarding the Land Reparations thing:
It's not happening in this lifetime or the next, however as far as taxation goes and any questions regarding that- a starting point could be to look at Native American Reservations.
Tribes are exempt from Federal income taxes even when conducting commercial activities such as running a Casino.
They can form corporations to conduct business and their income remains exempt.
Individual Native Americans are U.S. Citizens so they are subject to Federal income tax.
So maybe if the Blacks were given land by the government in the form of Reparations the levels to which they got taxed would depend on how willing they were to share with each other as a group and form various shell companies to avoid getting taxed into oblivion.
I don't know, but that would definitely be interesting...
