They said “some bullshit reason” because the same logic would very clearly not be applied to trump if he were to do the same. Think a bit. It’s ok.

I’d be okay with a violent one. Drag the justices out and tar and feather them. They want to make this country great again? Fine. Let’s show them what made it great: vigilante justice against tyranny.

If they are an ‘army’ then when. This comes to a head around the election, I sincerely hope that every last one of them is shot dead. Fascist pigs deserve nothing less.

Do you see how it could be led by a fascist? Does that seem good to you…? Are you just ok with Americans being murdered by the right? That will happen with Trump, I guarantee it.

I have long since written myself off as likely dying in a fight over resources (food, clean water, medicine) with some yokel who still wouldn’t believe in climate change. And people act confused when I say I have no motivation at work or hope for the future. Wild shit.

I support vegans environmentally just on principle, but it’s just way too much effort to examine everything that I eat for whatever animal products. I greatly reduce my meat consumption though, especially red meat. I’m just to fucking tired and depressed to put forth the energy necessary to be strictly vegan or even vegetarian.

Fair points. I just really hate the state monopoly on violence that they love to use almost exclusively on leftwing protests. If other such protesters were arrested as well, it would be less grating on my morals.

I think it’s the fact that they are arrested and very rarely actually charged with a crime, which essentially amounts to state sanctioned kidnapping.

But otherwise I do agree with you.

I wasn’t reducing anyone and I don’t think the person you were responding to was either. Some people have a harder time focusing on many things at once than others. In the same way that many many people have no internal voice in their head with which they think, people’s brains work differently. It’s just a fact. Some are more efficient at parsing large quantities of varied data than others. That is also a fact. I’m not trying to devalue those who cannot do that, but it would be immature and irresponsible to not consider that when looking for the causes of miscommunication or misunderstandings about how society actually functions just because you think it might hurt someone’s feelings if they were told that about themselves.

To be quite honest, prioritizing climate change is the responsible and rational thing to do because if we fuck that up, literally nothing else we have done will have any meaning, whatsoever.

It’s not his fault that there is a significant portion of the planet that is, in fact, quite dumb. It doesn’t make them worth less as humans, but it is something that needs to be considered.

I rabidly disagree that there is any more important topic than climate change. If you have read the actual studies and data about it, you would agree with me. If it is not addressed in a timely manner (read: a decade ago, but better late than never) there will be billions dead WITHIN YOUR LIFETIME.

The best thing you can do to help the climate? Kill a billionaire.

Best legal thing? Idk… Vote I guess?

It’s certainly interesting, but I feel mostly sad thinking that it’s just BAU for everyone, even when everything is dying. Such a great example of it.

Curious that there is a Nazi problem in almost every modern society then isn’t it…

So if someone threatens to burn down an orphanage while outside the orphanage screaming with cans of gasoline, should they be charged? Should they be put into jail? Because that’s the same free speech and free thought your advocating for and claiming the left is wrong for going in and beating the shit out of the dude. You’re delusional and possibly simply afraid of violence.

Sometimes, the appropriate response to a threat is to REMOVE the threat with copious violence. As in Enders Game, “I didn’t want to just win this fight, I wanted to win all the future fights too.” Paraphrasing a bit there but you want to tolerate hatred and evil, to let it fester. The only thing fascists understand is direct force, so we will show it to them.

Do you remember back a decade or two ago when everything related to climate change was in regards to 2100? Then it slowly moved to 2070 and 2050. Now the last few years people are realizing, “oh hey… We’re gonna die soon aren’t we…?”

The only other good reason to fight to keep them, is to prevent their government from going fully insane and doing horrible things. But that’s the sort of thing that would need intervention if and when it happens.

That is most ridiculous way to describe society dissolving into each street fighting those next to it.

It’s perfect.

You very conveniently ignore the part of the comment you were replying to where they said that Israelis also rape and torture Palestinians. Which is a fact, which Fetterman appears fine with given his unconditional support.
