I hate him saying “get your mind out of the gutter” as if even thinking about people who are gay is itself a perverted sexual act.
Gay people exist. Acknowledging this and discussing whether a piece of media is directed at them is not “mind in gutter” stuff.
I don’t want to go so far as to say this person is homophobic, but it sure does sound like some internalized homophobia, perhaps.
Nice pun, I think you railed it
Number 5 is “are willing to accept any negative info about Trump as fact”
Saying “you voted for a rapist” does nothing because they refuse to believe he’s a rapist. They hand wave it away with conspiracies about witch hunts and the deep state.
You can’t shame somebody over something they don’t believe is true.
Are you upset that Trump won?
lol
Go on, pigeon. Shit on the chess board some more and blame other people for your own actions. I’m sure if you shit hard enough, nothing will be your fault.
The irony of this comment is profound.
I’m proud of my choices because I fought to harm as few people as possible.
You’re proud of your choice because you believe your hands are clean despite your choice harming the most number of people.
Your hands are not clean. I hope some day you realize it.
“You better stop selling weapons to Israel so that Iran can steamroll you, or we’re going to throw the largest and most powerful country to the fascists”
I wouldn’t take that insanity seriously either. And that’s why I’m getting downvoted by a bunch of insane failures of anti fascism. Which is fine, I’m only frustrated at your refusal to take responsibility for your failure, which no amount of “they made me do it” will absolve you from; you’re responsible for your actions, nobody else.
If by “defending” you mean “placing blame where it belongs” then yeah.
Like, if a serial killer has killed ten people then gets charged with killing an eleventh, but he didn’t, then I’d “defend” him too because the person who actually did the crime is still out there and should be held accountable.
You’re making it out as if I’m trying to say the serial killer didn’t murder anybody. That’s not what I’m saying.
The Democrats fucked up, big time. But it’s the electorate who let a fascist win.
They didn’t “set themselves up as the only solution.” We have First Past the Post voting, that’s just how it works.
not everyone thinks that
Yes, obviously not everyone thinks fascism is an existential threat. Which is probably one of our greatest failures as a society, in terms of education.
No? No. Democracy, functional or not, has no direct determining power on what candidates cater to. What democracy does is select the winning candidate, regardless of who the candidate caters to.
We may be a flawed democracy with candidates that cater to the elites, but we’re still a democracy and we still pick the winner.
Why not? Their leader just got elected President if the US, if that’s not cause to take them seriously then what is?
You obviously don’t understand what fascism is. I recommend Umberto Eco’s essay "Ur-Fascism"as a good primer. Maybe read that before you make anymore ignorant comments like this one.
This may come as a surprise to you, but yes, in a democracy the people are to blame for who gets elected.
The Democrats could have run a turd as a candidate with the slogan “it’ll be a shit show” and I’d still have voted for them with no regrets, because I understand that fascism is an existential threat. If the Democrats are to blame in any way, it’s because they didn’t try to get people to understand that OH WAIT THEY DID.
Should the Democrats have run a better candidate and a better campaign? Obviously yes. Is it their fault that voters were willing to let a fascist win? Not even a little.
It’s not the employees’ fault, saying they should get no sympathy is a dick move.
That aside, I agree the TSA is a great example of the kind of spending that needs cut and the department dissolved.
