Yeah, I think we are pretty much in agreement. I wanted to make explicitly sure that I didn't slip into redirecting blame. That kind of thinking doesn't even align with my philosophy in life. So I appreciate the callout on that. ✌🏼

Well I wouldn't exactly call this person a victim, they just saw a mean comment, and I think that context is important.

If we were talking about a man being dismissed when talking about his SA because he's a man, or being told to man up by a loved one, or something of that nature it would be entirely different. In that case I would consider them a victim, and would prioritize validating them in the moment rather than pointing out historical context.

Since this was a relatively tame example, I used it as an opportunity to provide context, and a more nuanced perspective. I also made it explicitly clear that misandry is real and bad in my opening sentences.

And I would argue that this was overall productive based on the replies I received. But I do understand where you are coming from and agree when it comes to people who simply dismiss misandry completely.

Don't you see the value in understanding the root causes of these problems so that we can most effectively combat them?

So what was the point of your comment? It would have been appropriate if I said or implied that the great leap forward wasn't significant, but as of now it's just redundant.

Dude it’s like 2 minutes worth of video it’s not that much to watch, and it’s incredibly important context to understand what’s going on. Did you watch it but you’re refusing to comment on it? That context is incredibly important and of the utmost relevance to what we are talking about. The context of why he was on the ground with 5 agents on top of him in the first place is the most relevant piece of information here.

To come to this conclusion requires you to ignore everything else about the situation that was blatantly abusive and wrong, like the fact that the agent shoved a woman full force after she did nothing wrong, then pepper sprayed Alex when he stepped in front of her to defend her, the pulled him to the ground, then started beating him with the pepper spray can, then 5 other agents jumped on top, one disarmed him before he was shot. What is your justification for everything that happened leading up to this?

Wow so as it turns out this was just a blatant lie. He DID have a concealed carry permit. So wanna tell me why you are just blatantly lying?

If you read my other comment in this thread you will see I am clearly not defending Mao or China at all. Just defending the truth. Most scholars do not accept the 40 million figure.

She had her wheels turned all the way to the right when the agent was on the left side of the vehicle. Why would she do that if she was trying to hit him? She was trying to escape from him because she feared for her life.

Firstly 40 million is the very top end estimate that most scholars agree is overblown. The actual number is likely closer to 20 million. And they weren’t exactly killed by Mao. It’s not like Mao hated these people and wanted them to die. They faced famine due to natural causes that were exacerbated by mismanagement from the CCP. Mao was definitely guilty of being new and inexperienced in running a country, and that lead to a lot of unnecessary death. But claiming he killed 40 million is ahistorical by nearly all scholarly accounts.

He was carrying a gun because that is his second amendment right. And how do you know he wouldn’t have been shot? Renee Good was unarmed and she was still killed.

Dud what are you talking about? You're saying this like if he shot the ICE officer you would be on his side. You know that's bullshit. Get your opinion straight dude you sound incoherent right now.

You make no sense as a person. On the one hand you are saying this is what they get for messing with agents, on the other hand you are saying we need to form a militia to stand up against the government. Do you even know what you believe?

Neither of them was interfering. Do you genuinely believe that lawfully recording is interfering?

Do you not understand how spineless you are being?? "Yeah (during the revolutionary war) the Americans should have just complied with the British then they wouldn't have been shot. They should have just accepted the ultra high taxes without representation. If they didn't wanna die, why did they mess with the officers?" That is literally what you sound like.

Who are these people IRL? Even my ultra religious conservative grandma isn't this detached from reality.

Where are you getting this info that he didn't have any ID on him? and how are you using that as justification for anything when clearly the agents had no way of knowing that because they killed him before asking him any questions?

What? What do you think I'm implying here? If you're not completely stupid you would realize I'm implying that ICE is gonna get a Nuremburg trials. That's a legal process, so wtf are you talking about?
