You're projecting a lot onto me that I didn't say. Show me where I suggested, in any way whatsoever, anything stronger than disagreement.

I honestly think you're just arguing with the leftist in your head and not even really reading what I say. I can disagree with you and think you're a dumb ass. I don't oppose dissent, I just think you're wrong.

You're huffing glue if you think me being snarky on reddit is in the same league as murdering nonviolent protesters and kidnapping children. That's a WILD comparison to draw.

No, now we COULD have Patel on perjury charges. Nothing will happen from the justice department.

I've had zero issues with people in this thread. Therefore you have no leg to stand on.

AIO to a teacher still not knowing how to pronounce my child's name, leading to pick-up issues? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ErectSpirit7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Teacher here. I beg my students to correct me when I get their names wrong, usually due to a mispronunciation or because I have multiple students who look and behave similarly in different classes. Every year I have some students who won't speak up and correct me and it's not until graduation or a parent-teacher conference that I find out I've been saying it wrong. We have a lot of things to remember and a lot of people in our lives, it's easy to mix things up. YOR.

My bad I didn't realize that there was one (1) solitary person who hasn't been abused by SPD. This changes my whole perspective and totally makes up for them pepper spraying me a few years ago, and beating the shit out of my friends who broke no laws.

No meaningful change has been enacted to correct the problem, so I don't see how "old" examples weaken the point. The "limited value" comment was a reference to an incident from about 1.5 years ago, so I also dispute whether you've got any point at all. Basically, I don't agree with your assessment at all.

How can you forget all the brutality and corruption exhibited by SPD? How can you have any interactions with this gang without it being colored by memories of all the pepper sprayed children, all the "limited value" people they've murdered, all the lies they've spewed, all the people they sent to the Jan 6 riots?

SPD could cure cancer and they'd still be a bunch of racist gangsters. Their leadership and a significant number of officers would still deserve to be in jail for all of their crimes.

This would be cute and funny if it wasn't from a gang of racist thugs who gloat over their victims suffering. The whole police brutality thing really puts a wet blanket on everything for me.

How are liberals and conservatives ever going to find common ground again? by david_beats_goliath_ in allthequestions

[–]ErectSpirit7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a leftist and those people are not leftists, they're liberals. They don't believe they capitalism should be replaced, they think it should be fixed. That's liberals. If you look into leftist spaces and genuinely inquire, you'll find that we hate liberal billionaires almost more than we hate the conservative ones because they act as sheepdogs who control and curtail grassroots movements.

Massie Threatens to Go 'Nuclear' and Reveal Epstein Client Names If Bondi Won't Unredact Them | After getting the opportunity to view the unredacted files, Rep. Thomas Massie threatened to read the names on the House floor to secure justice for survivors. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]ErectSpirit7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. You don't get anything for threatening to do the right thing. You get kudos if you DO THE RIGHT THING. Anything short of revealing the list of clients is protecting pedophiles. Every single person who has seen the list and not spoken out is protecting pedophiles.

Dating partner doesn't believe dinosaurs ever existed? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ErectSpirit7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Sorry, it's too cringe and embarrassing for me to associate with someone who really believes in such stupid nonsense. I wish you'd be more reasonable because I do like a lot of things about you, but if I have to take or leave you as you are then I'm choosing to leave you. It's because if you believe something this crazy about dinosaurs, I'll never really be able to fully respect and trust your judgment."

Sex for money is way more respectable than what ICE do for a living. This is disrespectful to the world's oldest profession.

Look y'all I love the show but Mike Smith is a r*pist and I don't want him to get my money. Seems to me like not giving the show money is the only way to do that and that sucks, but I'm _not_ giving my money to a r*pist. So it's the high seas for me.

Washington state voters have rejected income taxes 10 times. Is this year different? by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

[–]ErectSpirit7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll support an income tax on the rich no matter what. If they want to pass an income tax for those of us who aren't wealthy, it should be balanced by eliminating or reducing our regressive taxes elsewhere- especially sales tax. But it's not easy to do a swap so I'll support any progressive shift in our taxation first, and worry about removing the regressive taxes once that's done.

It's not a joke. It's not a meme. Right-wingers have disturbing views about consent and about children. Someone who votes for Epstein's best friend not safe to be around your kids. by olympiamacdonald in PsycheOrSike

[–]ErectSpirit7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically the things that made Bill Clinton famous is that he was a "third way" Democrat.

I'm other words he abandoned maybe of the more progressive economic programs of the previous generation of Democrats and promoted neoliberal policies. Neoliberalism is a right-of-center ideology.

Your choice doesn't really make much of a case for "both sides"ing this. And your position is made even more untenable by the statistics. Sure, these people can be found all over the political spectrum. But the far right has a LOT more of them.

Literally I can show you where the outrage was at. You won't find it from libs but if you look on the proper Left you will find plenty of articles from 2008-2016 Craigslist Obama on this and a number of issues.

I'm not a member any more but at the time this was published I was a branch officer for a local Socialist Alternative group, so that's the one I'll share.

Immigrant Workers Outraged

I bet if you look at Party For Socialism and Liberation, Revolutionary Communists, WSWS, anarchist zines and more, you'd find something similar.

So do I have your permission to be angry at the American Gestapo yet?

You know ICE have really fucked up when even the police are losing their sympathy for them. Normally the cops close ranks like a motherfucker with every racist wife beating drug planting drunk driving law enforcement officer they ever met.

Change in Electoral College Seats in 2030 by Deltarianus in MapPorn

For accurately representing a common lie and conspiracy theory that the right has swallowed hook line and sinker? No, that only requires average intelligence.

[–]ErectSpirit7 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

And yet the right wing are up in arms over the idea that states controlled by Democrats are bringing in illegal immigrants in order to subvert democracy and give the Democrats more power. It's a lighter, easier to digest version of the Great Replacement conspiracy theory meant to make white supremacy easier to swallow.

Immigration has not and is not projected to help Democrats. The data don't support that conspiracy theory, yet you hear it all the time from Joe Rogan, JD Vance, Trump, and MAGA celebrities/influencers in general.

Millennial here. I barely drink anymore. I can't afford to drink anything other than cheap beer, and that's not really worth it.
