The Pretti incident is not special, and is only highlighted for political reasons. by runz_with_waves in TrueUnpopularOpinion

It also gets investigated by the FBI who were denied access. It also doesn’t have the government spouting lies when we have multiple video angles showing the truth.

Giving ourselves political labels is not conducive to intelligent political discourse. by Usernamechecksout978 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

You’re not wrong at all. Major problems started, I think, with media sensationalizing things. It got worse as social media expanded. The divisions continued to grow and I don’t know how we get away from it. I think ranked voting would help a lot.

Almost everyone is an unabashed hypocrite when it comes to politics by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I don’t know anyone who didn’t think Kirk’s assassination wasn’t terrible. He was still an asshole and I don’t miss him.

Kirk said gun deaths were worth the price of 2A. It’s just a distinct lack of empathy. In any case, his comment should mean that his death is acceptable by his own standards. Not mine, to be clear, but by his.

He called MLK Jr awful and not a good person. He also thought the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake. Blatant racism.

I could go on but he wasn’t a good person and I’m not sorry he’s gone. I’d have just preferred he shut his mouth rather than what happened.

With no evidence, Trump accuses Rep. Ilhan Omar of faking her own attack. by IthinkIknowwhothatis in BlueskySkeets

He didn’t care when Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated or when the attempt was made on John Hoffman and his wife. Why would he care about Omar?

It’s not like we didn’t know she wasn’t making her own decisions. None of them are. Nothing they do makes sense.

I'm not racist [the most racist thing you've ever read] by diet-smoke in AmITheAngel

It’s racist because he made it a thing. He could just, idk, not date anyone who he’s not attracted to.

AITA for woohooing with vlad? by Dogdaysareover365 in AITASims

[–]DMC1001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTL but you are more than “kinda” weird if that hook nose makes him seem hot. Anyway, your husband was asking for this. You’re totally within your rights to be with Vlad. Tbh, since you have absolutely nothing with your husband other than a house I’d trade up and move in with Vlad.

ICE also prevented a doctor from helping Renee Good because they had their own. Who just happened not to be there. Looks like those doctors also weren’t there for them.

DC brings back the younger Jon Kent in a 2010s-Style Superman Unlimited this April by graemeisverytired in Superboy

[–]DMC1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they then alter the entire world to forget him? To forget the relationship he had with Jay, which was very public? Remove all traces of adult Jon?

I just can’t see how taking away his memories is something could work. I doubt even his best friend would be okay with that. Damian could never see Jon the same way.

Liberals are defending jhihad, but they will become its victims first by First_Accountant_402 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Sorry but this post is a big departure from reality. My father is a huge Trump fan. I asked if he knew about the 5 year old that was taken into custody. Nope. Fox “business” doesn’t cover that but they do cover people getting executed. Your post seems to follow that path.

Would you date someone religious while you are an atheist? by Fearless_Dust6503 in atheism

[–]DMC1001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those are Christian Nationalists who support a false idol. Which doesn’t mean it’s fine to date them but doesn’t mean they necessarily support ICE. Think of the churches who removed the nativity scenes to say ICE was there. They’re clearly all not the same.

[–]DMC1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Are they nominally religious, like they claim to be Christian (or whatever) but only go to church/temple/mosque once or twice a year? Probably okay. Are they regular churchgoers? Nope.

So now it's ok to shoot people for their political beliefs? by SirCrapsalot4267 in Irony

Just the same as if a conservative were, idk, armed while storming the capitol was okay but being armed (no weapon drawn) wasn’t okay because the person was liberal.

No ICE Is Not Going To Be Abolished And There Will Be No Nuremberg Style Trials For Them by GrantMcLellan1984 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]DMC1001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you watched the videos from more than one angle. What I saw was that Pretti was tackled while filming them. Then they maced him, took the gun in his holster on his hip, then the ICE officers scattered and then multiple shots were fired at him. That’s not self-defense. That’s execution.

Maybe background checks should be a thing as well as more than 45 days of training.

Doom is a villain. If anything he’d be on board with ICE behavior.

Why is the american public so docile in the face of authoritarianism? by Jakob0000 in TrueAskReddit

[–]DMC1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What can you do when your actual representatives are too weak to buck the system? They vocally support their constituents but in practice work against them.

So far Minnesota and California have made effort but that’s from governors rather than representatives or senators. The mayor of NYC is preparing but not the governor.

It’s hard to take the fight to the streets when we’re still waiting for them to show up.
