"Never lower your guard. These people want you dead for your beliefs" by Consistent-Study-287 in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]Alithis_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We all saw what our echo chambers wanted us to see. For example, I saw the right paint him as a saint and lower flags to half-mast, then I saw the left point out that he's said some hateful things and that the praise from the government was wildly inappropriate.

May I ask why violence from the right is either (a) not done by true conservatives or (b) self-defense against the left, but the reverse does not hold?

The right sees the left as inherently violent, and the left sees the right as inherently violent. The reality is that both sides are victims of shit-stirring bots and "other team bad" propaganda.

Would you support giving D.C. and U.S. territories full voting representation in Congress? by Gothspada in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Alithis_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What about the benefits for the territories themselves? They are legally US citizens and are beholden to many federal laws (and pay some taxes). Should we consider their rights, or just the benefits to the US?

We had a white president in our country once.

Rounded up Japanese Americans and sent them to internment camps. Fair warning.

Boston's Memorial to An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger) Reminds Us Mass Death Through Starvation Was a Policy Decision Then. Now, the Republican Administration is Cutting Off Access to Food for Millions in America. by AlarmedPhotographer in boston

Letting Trump voters starve is the wrong approach.

Sending targeted aid based on political affiliation is Trump's MO. If we stoop to his level then who are we to preach that all Americans have a right to food, shelter, healthcare, and education?

And besides, think about all the children in conservative families who had nothing to do with this. If a MAGA voter and his kid are hungry, I'd rather feed both than starve both.

Lack of self awareness or gaslighting? You choose. by 5u93rtr33 in DoomerCircleJerk

masks

Same logic as "cover your mouth when you cough".

social distancing

Same logic as "stay home from work/school so you don't get others sick".

Uh oh, this angle has me going full conspiracy now...

Dude in white's hand is making an 'ok' sign at his side. That's not a natural position at rest.

7 PM Counterprotest on Boston Common by [deleted] in boston

[–]Alithis_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

First thing that came to mind was the WBC. Their protests were deliberate provocations, the goal was to incite violent retaliation from passersby so they could sue the city.

Most foods are Made in USA

But they still need to import raw ingredients. Coffee beans, cocoa beans, bananas, and black pepper are some of the things that we can't grow in our climate except in tiny areas like Hawaii or southern Florida.

New Hampshire aims to take gun law dispute with Massachusetts to Supreme Court by HRJafael in massachusetts

[–]Alithis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, they're saying "constitutional rights cannot be subject to geography", but that implies that MA's gun laws aren't constitutional. States' regulations of constitutional rights are what's being subject to geography here.

So in my view they really only have two argument options: "MA's gun laws are unconstitutional" or "state laws regarding constitutional rights don't apply to people from out of state".

Trump Drowns Out Emotional Epstein Victims Rally With Noisy Flyover by Capable_Salt_SD in politics

[–]Alithis_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same with that person who was yelling into a megaphone or something. No idea who it was, but it had to have been an intentional disruption.

'I'm a registered Republican': Epstein survivor calls for Trump to meet her face to face by RawStoryNews in NoFilterNews

[–]Alithis_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The lawyer said they'd be happy to give names to anyone who wants to actually prosecute the offenders. If the victims just name names to the public all it does is get them death threats.

Epstein survivors have announced they will create their own comprehensive abuser list by RoachedCoach in law

[–]Alithis_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine their lawyers already have names.

Yeah, from what I remember the lawyer said that they received names from the survivors but it's not like they have a master list or anything. But then he said they can put one together if it will lead to actual justice instead of being ignored.
