I’m expecting that to happen, from his own camp. It’d be a perfect excuse to pull another Patriot Act and turn the screws just a bit more, pushing the nation further into an authoritarian police state.

After reading through your post history, all I can say is “Bullshit.”

I used to be scared to fly in a helicopter. Then I learned how they fly. Now I’m scared when they fly overhead.

What person, arguing in good faith, could state that they believe driving while drunk, at high speeds, while operating a cell phone, would likely not result in an accident? I’d love to see the train of thought laid out for that argument.

This was no accident.

He drove while drunk. He made a decision to become impaired. While impaired, he decided to get behind the wheel of a vehicle. He made a decision to drive unreasonably fast, beyond the speed limit and beyond his ability to safely operate the vehicle. He further made a decision to take a photo while operating his vehicle.

All were his choice to make, and thus the repercussions of his choices were no accident.

Does society want a person inclined to make such decisions roaming about freely? How many years of incarceration are likely to eliminate his continuation of such behavior?

The IDF claims that the children would have been Hamas operatives, on account of who their parents were. It’s not hard to extend that reasoning to the grandchildren. After all, their parents were likely to be Hamas operatives as well.

No judge, no jury, just an executioner, based solely upon the IDFs word that they’re likely to become future terrorists. One might apply that same logic to the whole of Palestine.

No, I think I read you perfectly.

If your society is content with murdering children based on your belief of what they will grow up to be, it’s not a society I’d be comfortable being part of, associating with, or existing alongside.

May you be judged accordingly.

Blah blah blah.

Says you. You’re also inflating my example and simplifying it, making a strawman out of it. I say differently, and so do all those folk downvoting you.

I’m done with this discourse. You’re determined to stick to your position in the mud, and not worth the effort. Good luck with that.

You’re minimizing, plain and simple, by accentuating the positive aspects and softening the negative. Generally folk minimizing are in support of the thing they claim to be in opposition of.

If that’s not your intent, then you really need to work on your communication skills.

As for being triggered, you’re wrong. I believe you’re projecting. Might the cause be all those down votes your posts are receiving? Sure, they don’t mean much… Other than each vote meaning one person disagrees with you. Some folk can’t handle that well.

“I think that instead of it being the end we will simply learn that fully fascist world is actually quite good for business and nothing will change for vast majority of people. I’m not saying it will be good. It will be worse, just not as bad as you think.”

My understanding of your statement: Fascism is good for business! Sure, it’s bad for some people, but most people won’t even notice it. There’s good things about fascism that you’re not aware of. It’s not all bad!

Triggered? Hardly. I’m not about to let a comment like the above go untouched for the bullshit it is, however.

You need to take a walk down to your local library and read some history books.

You’re the one extolling the virtues of fascism.

Add projection to the list, too. You’re just trolling, now. Good luck with that.

Even for a bootlicker, you seem especially bitter, sarcastic, and downtrodden. Might help to find someone licensed to talk that out. Ain’t healthy keeping it bottled up, and spewing vitriol on Lemmy doesn’t help anyone.

Better than trying to lick my way to the center of a boot while making disingenuous jabs on Lemmy.

Speaking up and calling out fascist behavior. Not spending my money on businesses that promote fascists. Voting. Keeping my long barrel in good condition, may it never need to be used.

Soap, ballot, jury, and cartridge boxes, in that order.

Spoken like a good little bootlicker.

Best keep that tongue on that boot, lest it steps on you instead. Same goes for those businesses under a fascist government. I’m sure life will be good for them, especially if they don’t mind the taste of leather.

Remove their tongue from the boot, and business won’t be good for them.

Not if it leads to your excuses and justifications of “war was always like this. No need to change it.”

Absolutely disgusting, down to the very core of my being. I want nothing to do with your beliefs.

Be better.
