Such stupid people shouldn’t be entrusted with needles
I have gotten a patterm or two from that website. Never again.
Part of this is liberals smearing ALL conservatives as racist bigots. Liberals are taught in college and told by media and entertainment that they and they alone are welcoming, tolerance, moral. They’re told conservatives just hate all the other groups.
A recent study shows Democrats - especially college educated - believe as a fact their hateful stereotypes of conservatives.
Republicans Don’t Understand Democrats—And Democrats Don’t Understand Republicans
A new study shows Americans have little understanding of their political adversaries—and education doesn’t help.

The hateful stereotypes are perpetuated by deliberate spin to “prove” said stereotypes, like the lie that Trump called white supremacists “fine people”.
Trump Didn’t Call Neo-Nazis ‘Fine People.’ Here’s Proof.

Another reason is laziness. It is easier to smear the other side as stupid, crazy, evil, ignorant (with the elitist belief everyone will agree with you unless they’re inferior to you). Don’t argue policies, just slap them with labels. And now liberals have absolute certainty in said labels, so they think they can literally bash the fash and be in the right.
We already see this with “hate speech”. Liberals already define their views as based on love. Everyone else can be silenced as “hate speech”. And when you say it is just based on hate, you don’t have to listen to their views and can justify denying them freedom of speech. Plus, since they’re just evil haters, you can hate them because you already “know” they hate you.
This is akin to Islam preaching that all unbelievers want to hurt you, Jews are liars not to be trusted, hate the infidel, be wary of the apostate. Fear and hate the unbelievers, knowing they want to hurt you. Then it is easier to murder the critic, the atheist, the Christian who defends their views in public. And it can be framed as protecting the whole group. That is what Islam does - blasphemy is considered a literal attack on all believers, so your words are violence and we can execute you for it.
Liberals have appropriated this justification. You even hear it with “they’re invalidating our existence, they’re killing us”. It is a great way to protect your believers from contrary worldviews and even contrary facts ... but it is deadly when it comes to fruition.
And it all comes back to their increasingly extreme bubble, great power, and religious levels of investment in a political ideology.
The terrible irony is that liberals have united with Muslims in a war against the Judeo-Christian West/American worldview to, in their minds, defeat a common enemy. The liberals then assume the Muslims will convert to liberalism and celebrate diversity. In reality, the totalitarian system that created ISIS and Boko Haram will try to do the same here. All while they smear Christian neighbors as wannabe Taliban.
We aren’t in a 2 sided fight by a three way fight ... and it really is a war of religious ideologies. The tragedy is that the Judeo-Christian / Western ideal is the most tolerant. Be Jewish, Hindu, Baptist, whatever, but do share the modest common culture and language so we can all get along.
Ok,prove it because the knitting world is a segment of society that is the cornerstone of political and social intellect.
“Inclusive of all”....except
Hmm, hypocritical much?
Do you or does anyone else have a suggestion as to where to go? I can’t find a comparable site.
I wish I had the skills to start a competitive site. I’d be promoting it like gang busters right now.
“Civil War II can’t come soon enough for me”
They’ll be armed with knitting needles. I think we’ll have the advantage over this faction.
I hate Knitting Nazis.
My mother did both for decades. Even got offers to market her wares. She does not have a leftist bone in her body.
First they’ll come for the crotcheters and you’ll say but I am a needle pointer.
Then they’ll come for the knitters...
Fortunately, KNOT ALL KNITTERS ARE KNITWITS!!!
Undeniably going to happen.
Look up Casey and Jessica Forbes and their team
So gay
Yes the left then went on a priest killing rampage
Like in Cuba and Mexico and killing clergy in east bloc nations
Now clergy is fairly Left often times at least here and in the COC
Hey, knitters, upload patterns for Trump hats there. Repeat. :-)
I used to visit a homesteading forum but it got ruined by politics. Mainly a handful of rabid leftists vs conservatives. Neither side would “let it go” in an argument and every subject became political due to the PC thing. The forum lost half of it’s members and of course, it was the knowledgeable half.
They also changed ownership a couple of times and changed forum software a couple of times during all this and that didn’t help.
Please boycott! They are yarn befuddled and maybe they will see the truth if enough people stay away. I can attest to the fact that is is a popular site for weavers, spinners, knitters and anyone who does anything with fibers. But when they say that conservatives are welcome if they shut up and refuse to post patterns for MAGA clothing etc, that’s just disgusting.
