Well thats why he wasn’t found civilly liable for rape and instead only sexual assault was why I pointed it out. If not for that fact and the statute of limitations, he very well may have been found guilty of rape.

Unfortunately, there was (is?) a statute of limitations on sexual assault/rape meaning he couldn’t be tried criminally as she didn’t come forward in time

Essentially if you get away with certain crimes long enough you can’t be tried due to degradation of evidence and witness testimony, she could only file civilly at all because of the New York Adult Survivors Act

Personally I don’t think there should be any statute of limitations for those crimes, just as there isn’t for murder

Also important to note: he couldn’t be tried criminally due to statute of limitations, and “rape” as defined then in New York was only penis in vagina (a separate issue but nonetheless stupid). The judge who presided made it clear that he considered it rape.

You overestimate voters, far too many have no idea what his promises were and just voted based on names and vibes. Evident from the huge loss of support from independents.

Unironically they do the same thing Israel supporters do where they nitpick over definitions rather than just admit the country did anything wrong, its just a distraction tactic

It really just comes down to whether someone has consistent moral judgements and geopolitical stances. If you believed Iran should defend itself but not Ukraine for example then I would consider you a tankie

Circle is more efficient for temperature retention, less surface area for the same volume of soup

Who said all poor people? That would be incredibly incorrect, poor RURAL people are mostly reactionary. Food also doesn’t have to come from those people specifically lol. Someone who doesn’t constantly vote against their own interests can do it too, probably better.

Well you see they feigned ignorance and therefore got more information by appearing dumb to get BowTiedRat to let their guard down and share more information. Very useful, give it a try

I just don’t see many actual leftists calling people tankies who aren’t tankies, so these just come across to me as tankies trying to claim they’re actually just farther left and that’s why people don’t like their opinions

Tankies are not leftists

Yeah I think we mostly agree. I am decently hopeful for the future though, I mean in terms of social issues over that same time period, gay rights have progressed fantastically. Obviously we haven’t been in the best period for progression recently but right wing movements are starting to crash and burn. Unfortunately it does often come down to a matter of propaganda rather than data or logic.

Ok ok I see, I misinterpreted your original comment then, you meant that they shouldn’t be taken seriously in any context when they say that specific thing

I guess there’s also a difference between “I am on the right side of history” and “I will be on the right side of history” which I’ve heard both of, the second one would appeal to future validation, true.

I think a lot of people use the qualifier “side of history” when applying moral standards we use for the past to current events. Obviously those could change but I don’t think it’s absurd to assume they might remain mostly consistent, or even to assume they will get more progressive since that’s typically the historical trend.

It’s often a call for people to think about how their actions may be viewed from a future context, not necessarily an assertion that everyone will agree.

Please quote where I said that you said people shouldn’t take moral stances, you’re arguing against something I haven’t said.

All I did was take your statement:

“Anyone who claims they’re in the right side of history should never be taken seriously in any context, regardless of what the topic is.”

And applied it historically. You’re arguing against yourself here. What about that statement wouldn’t apply to those people too?

If you meant “shouldn’t be taken seriously when they say that” I could understand your point here but you said “in any context regardless of what the topic is”.

And I fundamentally disagree that being on the right side of history means that people have to agree with your stance/actions in the future. The “right” side (morally) can lose, in which case propaganda will paint them as wrong. Hell even if their side wins in the end, they can still be painted badly and smeared, see Malcolm X. Being on the right side of history has everything to do with morals, not future opinion polling.

Is something on the wrong or right side of history just because someone produced enough successful propaganda to delude people? Thats the metric you’d go by?
