  • I think you dont understand. To rewrite that card would be a big red buisiness card that says “you are fucked”.

    Thats it.

    Arm yourselves and the people being hunted? Are you fucking kidding? Thats literal ammunition to the opposition. If you had your way, a bunch of illegal immigrants now are using illegal guns to shoot americans.

    Your advice legitimizes the “invasion” of the other. It does the opposite of what you want. Your solution galvanizes the right to point and say “see, they are all murderous criminals” get them.

    For fucks sake think for a moment. This is the absolute dumbest take ive ever seen.

    Well duh.

    I dont mean this as a disparagement of zelenski, but cmon man. the people that knew this fact dont need your confirmation. We know. And the people that dont know this will never trust you nor hear your voice. Their mind was already made up. Their personal echo chamber and cycle of disinformation wont let them ever see it.






  • Nah you dont.

    The way you are using your narrow minded view of autism and the mentally handicapped is not only highly offensive, its also wrong. I have personally worked with and cared for people on the autism spectrum from the level of “nonverbal infant level” all the way to certified savant. Its a spectrum for a reason. I have also cared for people, for literal years, who are diagnosed retarded that are more capable and more functional than the “normal” people i see at walmart. And also hold steady jobs better than their non deficent coworkers.

    Heres a thought experiment for you. If the things you say are so blatantly wrong that you get downvoted, called out, and ignored for your offensive views, but still want to double down, are you yourself retarded?

    I dont know you. And i dont know your mental acuity. But i am using that word as an insult. That should answer your question i think.




  • Yeah were are at the point where the cult has so much control, that they can say whatever they want and completely pave over every option. Contradiction? Not really. Infighting? Nah, theres always someone on my side. Regrets? None. If they cover every option, they can never be wrong.

    We have hit the “pick and chose your own adventure” of identity politics, where you cant argue anymore, because they stand for… everything and nothing all at once.

    Let your imagination run wild.


  • “Life without parole” vs “the death penalty” hold a different connotation for the average person.

    Its about perception. Not logic.

    The death penalty had never really made sense for 80 years. Basically ever since we eliminated firing squads or the guillotine. Ever since we said, “guilty, kill em now, move on”

    But we hold execution in a much higher regard. The death penalty is certain. Life in prison… well thats ambiguous. We are still fighting a culture war on the death penalty for literal decades now, despite the fact that it makes absolutely zero difference to anyone not directly involved in the crime.

    The actual, logical, real world difference is minimal. But if you want to send a message. Well then, the perception is magnificent.

    Sentenced to death has meaning. Until you drag it out so long everyone forgets.


  • No. They want to take away a martyr.

    How long is the average stay on death row?

    And how long is the memory of the average american voter?

    You and me will have moved on to the next battle and ten other battles by the time they shoot him. Collective memory will have other priorities and we will forget.

    Thats the trick. The appeals process alone takes so long that you will either be completely lost by that point, or your disinterest shouting support for fifteen other vigilantes, that it wont matter.

    If they convict, hes fucked. Hes not a martyr. Hes a statistic. And thats how they convince the next one not to do it. You are not joan of ark. History will treat you not as a savior, but as a wildcard random… So why bother? A healthcare ceo is not franz ferdinand.

    We arent there yet…



  • Yeah my internet history alone would eliminate me from that running.

    The winners are “pre selected”. Thats how his bullshit workaround works. Its been admitted. But for the uninformed, it sounds like a lottery.

    It isnt.

    even if a communist or anarchist or whatever tried to play the game and if it were a true lottery, you would be committing a far worse disservice by keeping quiet at this point.

    Stay quiet and maybe get a million. Its the democrat way if you look at our current dem politicians… do you really want to be like them right now?
