Curious why so many UNT students want everyone to think alike? How very communist of you all.

u/snoochieBoochy788 3d ago

Yes…. Communist University of North Texas. Nice acronym 😉

u/WingOverWater 2d ago

Fitting, honestly, considering that evidently most people here support that sort of thing.

u/Curious_Pressure2537 4d ago

Guysss
Do they both come at UNT ? What’s the difference????????? Which is the debate one

u/Sid77x Art History 4d ago edited 3d ago

Edit: realized you were asking about the groups. Turning point is the debate one but reawaken USA promotes conservative rhetoric over religion. Both equally as bad

2

u/theaceonthemound 3d ago

I've seen turning point table, they don't debate they're usually quite passive imo

2

u/Sid77x Art History 3d ago

Ah! I meant debate as in turning point is involved in politically conservative spaces which debate left leaning politics. Personally I just avoid their table if I can.

yeah theyre all over the place

Cosplaying as revolutionaries online to the echo chamber...

u/Patient-Champion-195 3d ago

This demonstrates the exact kind of hateful people reawaken/tpusa stand against. There is an objective hero and villain to this story, and youre showcasing so clearly that yall are the comically evil villains.

So hateful and disgusting. Shame on you dude.

Girl who are you 😭

u/Patient-Champion-195 3d ago

Someone who doesnt like evil on display, portrayed as something good. The foam panel in the echo chamber.

Ugh babeeee you’re gonna wrinkle o no 💔 stop the #hate

u/Patient-Champion-195 3d ago edited 3d ago

Youre proving my point with every reply. Yet yall cry "these people are hateful!" All it takes is self reflection to realize how hypocritical you are. The worst kind of hate comes from people who think they're doing good. Its sad to see.

u/Sid77x Art History 2d ago

Doesn’t re awaken USA have conservative partnerships which actively promote policies which hurt immigrants, trans people, and other people who benefit from social welfare programs in this country. Social welfare programs which are needed due to the Republican Party supporting figures such as Elon musk, Ken Paxton and Donald Trump- who live well above and beyond their own means and again also support the use of A.I which Pope Leo has stated is un Christian like.

Sounds like false rhetoric and ideology to fuel your conservative agenda by hiding behind your false pretenses of God 🥰 oh bless your sweet heart ❤️

u/Patient-Champion-195 2d ago

Source?

u/Sid77x Art History 2d ago

Girl the website of reawaken USA

1

u/Sid77x Art History 2d ago

You can easily look up the partners on Reawken USA. One of them being patriotic mobile witch is created and funded by Glenn Story- from there you can clearly theses where they hav been donating their money to (all to conservative parties btw) which are known to support groups like ICE which actively harm immigrants and Americans.

You can sit there and say “source” all you want since clearly you don’t know how to find it all by yourself 🥰.

u/Patient-Champion-195 2d ago

When you make a positive claim, the burden of proof is in you, thats why I ask for a source. Ice deports illegal immigrants. Deporting illegal immigrants is a net positive for America. Try again.

This kind of hateful people?

u/Patient-Champion-195 3d ago edited 3d ago

Yeah. People who virtue signal yet are completely unaware and ignorant to how hateful and hypocritical they are. Its the worst kind of hate and evil. Because they genuinely think they're doing good.

It's so funny that they can't see the irony of what they're doing.

u/AdJust5244 3d ago

I'm sorry? Reawaken USA stands against hate? You mean the guys who sit around with a mic talking shit about immigrants and Islam? Yeah you've lost your mind.

u/Patient-Champion-195 2d ago

Nice strawman dude. Also thats not what they talk about. As someone who genuinely researches these people, maybe do a bit of your own before spreading hate? Plus it doesnt seem like yall have a problem with people talking shit in the first place, you guys are doing that a ton with posts like these 😭 the irony. The hypocrisy.

3

u/AdJust5244 2d ago

They literally do talk about all that, I have the displeasure of walking to class hearing Nazi rhetoric from them at least once a week. Sounds like you literally just walk around campus with your hands over your ears just trying to be ignorant at this point, because topics like Islam and immigrants are constantly thrown around.

1

u/Patient-Champion-195 2d ago edited 2d ago

Love how the term "nazi rhetoric" is thrown around so much. Explain, how are they spreading nazi rhetoric? Or are you just throwing around an extremely hateful phrase because anything you disagree with is "nazi rhetoric"? Give like a real breakdown, because for someone throwing around a pretty dangerous term willy nilly, there should be a genuinely good reason for it. Go on, ill wait.

I hear what they talk about, except I dont just walk through after hearing a few words i disagree with and then write it off as "evil nazi rhetoric >:(" 😭 Because thats just extremely foolish, and genuinely ignorant. I actually stay and listen. Perhaps you should do that?

u/AdJust5244 2d ago

Normal people don't support ICE or want the mass deportation of brown people. They don't support the building of "Alligator Alcatraz". That's Nazi shit. You can deny it all you want but it's not doing anyone any favors.

u/tdogredman 3d ago

oh no we’re the evil villains how horrible

u/Patient-Champion-195 3d ago

At least you're honest about it

u/Shirkaday Alumni 2d ago

Definitely in the spirit of Denton!

Not quite the same theme at all, but there could also be a series on notable fires in town.

- Fine Arts Theatre (1982)

- Southwest Square fire (1994)

- The Tomato (2007)

- Downtown Mini Mall (2017)
