So Trump if he attains office. Got it.

I Liked the comment but look at this guy’s post history. Ya’ll took the bait. Russian bot/troll/Pro Trump account that only spouts things such as “Liberal pussy foot neo-leftist commie bastard clown fart”. 100’s of short one line insane posts in the last hour alone.
My wife and I both forgot the year we were married during a conversation last week. It went a lot like the one in the transcript. “That was 2022? No wait, 2021? Let me pull up the pictures on my phone to see the date…”.
We have only been married 3 years. To be fair, we have been together for 12.
This is why I love this place. A very well-thought-out detailed response. I agree with you in most parts here but I do have, and I concede this could be irrational on my part, a fear of small-scale localized armed violence. It might not spread into something large but that doesn’t matter if you become the victim of it.
All that said, I never have settled on my own personal opinion on the principle of always punch a Nazi. I’m very much on the fence on that one, and I think it comes down to how effectively boundaries have been communicated before enforcement begins, which will unfortunately vary case-to-case.
I think the rhetoric/idea of “always punch a Nazi” was effective at putting societal pressure on keeping people from becoming “nazis” or at least suppressing outward expressions of hate (or at least hate we all agreed upon as being “bad”). You are right in that this is an information war but the problem with information wars is that people tend to defer to confirmation bias and actively seek out the answers that align with their existing ideology.
Also, the Irony isn’t lost on me that we are having this discussion on a site that leans very liberal so we do have our echo chambers as well.
But appeasement doesn’t work and that can be seen repeatedly in history. Try everything you can but at the end of the day, if both sides aren’t trying for the same goal, it would be naive to not prepare for the alternative. Try for the best but prepare for the worst.
Yea, I feel so bad for the republicans who can’t get dates because they are racist, homophobic, ignorant assholes. You are right, that’s directly equal to physical harassment and abuse.
These threads are great because it allows me to easily isolate, find and block the obvious trolls. Man, you and isthereany are so angry. Your post histories read like typical Youtube comments. Pot, kettle?
There aren’t any laws pushing for it so isn’t it just the free market economy at work? People want to see how clothes look on objects that look like them. Most people are ugly and overweight in the “western” world. Look, if changing what a model looked like moved the revenue needle one way or another, companies are going to do it.

A well reasoned argument and a good point.
I voted third party for the same reason. I thought Trump would do so many stupid things that the courts would actually put up guard rails and we would see some limits to the expanded power that the executive branch has been creeping into over the past few decades.
Would you like to know which state has the most number of registered republicans? It’s California. California just happens to be the most populous state with only 25% of it’s populous being Republican. Voting absolutely matters and despite California being predominantly Democrat controlled, if regular people don’t vote, these racist country destroying inbred fucks will.
They deserve the scrutiny and criticism regardless of their legal status. Anything they do at this point is suspect. If it was reversed and it was a court of all democrats, you better believe that a bunch of redneck fucktard assholes would be using their second amendment rights in an attempt to “fix” the court. With lifetime appointments, it doesn’t leave much room for options.
It’s so idiosyncratic that every single pizza place in the Western world has it on the menu.
I don’t hate children but children under age 6-8 creep me out. I get a flight response when I am put into a situation where I have to be around a toddler or baby. I have always thought it was an uncanny valley thing though. As soon as they can make complete coherent sentences though, it’s awesome. It’s incredible to watch them learn, absorb, and have them experience new things.
Reminds me of CGP Greys’ “The Rules for Rulers”. It’s just a matter of navigating the keys to power.
