  • There's no shock, just denial or refusal to accept that they're treated like property. Or, self-hatred to the extent that they do see what's happening but support it anyway.

    It's like a perfect storm of stupid, evil, Stockholm syndrome, and stuck in an abusive relationship.

  • Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns

  • Sup, ICE. You've done such a good job emulating your rolemodel from the 1930s/40s with the mustache, I think you've all earned a fast-track in that career!! Just skip right to the end and go ahead and feed yourself that bullet! Remember not to aim perpendicular to your throat - that'll just punch a potentially nonfatal hole: instead aim it up toward your brain!

    You are a traitor not just to your country, but to all of humanity: your legacy will only ever be that of a villainous cautionary tale.

    Best of luck with the go kill yourself! 💖

  • Half a course is NOT better than nothing - it basically kills off only the weaker bacteria, leaving behind only those that have started mutating a resistance to the antibiotic.

    An effective course of antibiotics leaves no possibility for survivors.

    Here's a good demo of what happens when you give them a graduated path to climb (such as by taking half a course of antibiotics): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plVk4NVIUh8

    Edit - that this getting downvoted is a bit concerning. Don't fuck around with antibiotics, y'all. Take it exactly as prescribed. If you feel better half way through, don't just stop: keep taking them as ordered by your doc until the prescription is completed. If you kill off all but the strongest and then stop, those strongest then recolonize and now you're infected with an antibiotic resistant strain. You're literally breeding a new superbug.

  • Oh shit, not all cops are ba--

    A sergeant from O’Hara’s department later clarified that while Minneapolis Police Department officers may physically intervene in the case of unlawful force, they would stop short of arresting ICE agents.

  • pre-loaded accusations

    They're called logical fallacies. The one you just used is called a false dilemma. If you don't like me drawing attention to them, I'd recommend refraining from using them.

  • Whether it would have been a “lesser” genocide is unfalsifiable. We’ll never really know. But I don’t have the faith in it that you have. I’m not sure what a more competent genocidal administration would have done.

    Correct. But I'm confident the Harris administration wouldn't have taking the swan-dive that Trump's did. Same with all the other evils he's committed outside the scope of genocide: bad under Harris, worse under Trump. Given what we know about the two, that assumption seems pretty reasonable. If you disagree, well like you said, that comes to which candidate we have less faith in. For me, Trump is the obvious rock-bottom worst outcome, but I can't compare to an administration that never happened, so speculate as you will.

    Consider what many US Palestinians did: threaten to withhold their votes if Harris didn’t say there was at least some daylight between herself and Biden regarding Gazans. And she wouldn’t even do that much.

    But that’s how you use the vote, if you use it at all. You use it as leverage. If the Democrats know you’ll “vote Blue no matter who” or “vote Blue no matter what,” then they’ll ignore you altogether, because you’re already in their pocket. You’ve made yourself irrelevant.

    Half correct. Withholding votes won't get their attention - we've seen that play out again and again. Democrats would rather lose than change. If you want their attention and real change, you'll need to do things other than vote.

  • It’s extremely telling that even you “lesser evil” BlueMAGA types can’t being yourselves to actually be honest about what you supported

    You're projecting. Y'all need to get that under control.

    bullshit white washed version of the Democrats that wasn’t entirely all in on genocide.

    Where did I say that? They just don't have the same affinity for it as Republicans, so between the two, blue team is the wildly obvious choice if you want to minimize the suffering.

    Clearly even you know the lesser evil position as it actually exists is indefensible.

    Correct. The lesser evil is still evil. But contrasted against a greater evil and locked into a dichotomy, the lesser gets my vote despite being indefensible.

    If you had me tied up and held a loaded gun to my head and offered the choice of either pulling the trigger or using it to pistol-whip me, your actions would be indefensible either way, but one stands out as significantly worse than the other, so I'll choose the pistol-whip. I'll also be doing other things like trying to fidget my way out of the ties, but I can do that in addition to choosing the lesser evil of a shitty dichotomy.

  • No I'm with you there - but it's hard to discuss that stuff without getting banned; and you can do that stuff while still casting a vote every now and then. I've stirred up a lot of drama here by encouraging the use of that tool - this thread is stuffed with mouth-foaming Trump progandists, so proceed with caution. And grab some popcorn - it's a shitshow, but it's a show!

  • Mate, I was one of the people saying Democrats would lose if they didn't change tact. But I still advocated against Trump. The Democrats handed the election to him on a silver platter. Fucking twice. But I still advocated against Trump.

    No, you were just a genocide denier when it was your team doing it. It took Trump winning for you to actually admit the extent of the genocide.

    Also incorrect. I bit my tongue during the election (did I mention the bit about advocating against Trump?) but was and remain opposed to genocide regardless of who's in power.

  • Bro you’ve been reduced to yelling “This is what you wanted!!!”

    Is it not what you wanted? It's what you're advocating for.

    none of this was necessary

    Wholeheartedly agree, but necessary or not, it is inevitable as long as we allow evil people to run the world. Yes that includes Biden and Harris. It also includes Trump.

    Well, you got your “pragmatic” genocide and then some.

    The "pragmatic" genocide didn't include the "and then some". That second bit is the one you asked for.

    You got your guy in to stop Trump

    My guy got primaried. No one's guy got in to stop Trump: that orange traitor still hasn't been stopped.

    and he immediately shit the bed.

    Ah, you must be talking about Biden. Yeah fuck that guy.

    Here we are again. You’ve learned nothing.

    Here we are. And no, so far I haven't learned shit. Are you the teacher in this scenario? Cuz so far you've taught nothing. My proposal was to utilize your vote - literally that's it - and so far that's only attracted propaganda about how doing so won't get us systemic change. ...but like... no shit? You gotta do bigger things than just voting to get that. But still do vote. You know you can do that, right? Voting, and other things? The ballot box doesn't lock you out of other actions.
