Also, food isn’t the only way to get people to turn to violence. Violence against a population, collective punishment, and unnecessarily dangerous work conditions work as well. The American Revolution turned from a political squabble to a military one when the British heavily occupied Boston as punishment. Labor strikes used to be violent, mainly out of necessity.

That’s going to be pretty soon at this rate. The number one reason people are looking the other way is because they’re afraid of losing their jobs and healthcare. We’re heading for a bad recession this summer where a lot of people will lose both anyways. So they will be all out of excuses.

This is also why fired federal workers are one of the angriest groups so far.

I love that show.

First one is Captain Obvious.

I haven’t heard anything about people buying drones. The gun ranges have been packed though.

Luigi Mangione has been the only thing uniting the left and right in the US. This is one of the few things that has managed to break through Fox News propaganda. Killing a legendary hero isn’t the win the GOP thinks it is.

Democrats and Republicans alike banded against Luigi. It’s Citizens United talking.

I mean, this really isn’t new for us.

We are truly in the second Gilded Age.

All this, and Biden wasn’t allowed to forgive our student loans…

Nah, don’t be such a doomer.

It’s a perversion of Christianity.

God can commit genocide and torture because His actions are beyond human understanding. God is the creator of Goodness, so every action he does is Good by design. I personally view God only as Good because he is powerful, but I view Jesus as Good in a more genuine and human way.

The powerful like to take the parts of religion that allow them to live in a simplified world. A world in which they are Good, like God, not by action but by power and nature.

They forget that sinning applies to the powerful, just like it applies to the weak. Everyone deserves to be forgiven in Christianity, but only after you’ve paid for your sins. People like the “being forgiven” part, but not begging for forgiveness in a brown sack covered in ashes part.

They need an excuse to cover up their real reason: that they think peasants have a duty to breed for the state.

Republicans: Fuck ‘em kids.

The “pro-life” party really loves the death penalty…

What I was thinking too.

Adding to this, PunkRockSportsFan ignores that religion has been used to end violence. Christianity was a huge part in the US abolitionist movement.

They’re all cowards.

They forgot the “/s” then. I couldn’t pick up on that.

Also, what is “America’s Great Saviors?”

IndustryStandard criticizing Kamala but mentioning Kamala wouldn’t do all the same things as Trump. I like how they mentioned it was the a stepping stone for Trump’s deportations but I was not referring to that specifically.

Kamala did support the brutal crackdown on student protesters. But, she did indeed not deport them. That said, ICE under Biden and Kamala was already heavily in violation of human rights and continuing the Trump 2016 agenda. Deportation of wrongthink is but the next logical step of the ratchet effect.

PhilipTheBucket liking that that IndustryStandard’s post was nuanced and not as simple as “Kamala bad”.

I think I will do up a FAQ for the disinformation community or something, it is getting tiring repeatedly typing the same responses. But I do appreciate the extra effort to at least put together something which has some semblance of plausibility instead of just seeing “Gaza” and reaching for the “Kamala Harris” button without bothering to make it make sense or relate in literally any way at all. Big improvement. Good stuff.

I was trying to say I liked the nuanced discussion, and was expanding on it with my own experiences.
