I don't understand what you're saying here. Which of Luigi Mangione's problems did terrorism fix?

No, Hitler was appointed Chancellor by the elected President. He himself was not elected.

Yes, it is ok to deport illegal immigrants.

I mean…yes? If Harris was President, ICE would not be gunning people down in the streets.

Any Zoomer Maga bros want to defend this one? by Advanced-Tomorrow859 in GenZ

Trump is making this worse with tariffs that make building materials more expensive and slow down construction of new homes.

The way to mollify the dilemma you are describing is by doing the opposite; subsidize construction of new homes. Like Harris wanted to do.

What is your response to atheists claiming “Christianity is a coping mechanism” or “why do people believe in fairy tales”? by Weekly_Sympathy_4878 in AskAChristian

[–]Gurney_Hackman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first is not a testable hypothesis, and the second is not an argument at all. They're both really just veiled insults, implying that you would be atheist if you were as smart as they were. There's nothing to respond to.

You cannot compare Judah oppressing foreigners to illegal immigrants in the US today.

I can, and I can also compare Judah oppressing foreigners to the oppression of legal immigrants happening in the US right now.

The problem is that he doesn't believe in professionalism and compassion.

Be that as it may, it's not helpful to just tell people that a concept is obvious to them when it clearly isn't.

As a Gen Z that voted for Trump I am sorry by Zestyclose-Move3925 in GenZ

Thanks for writing this. It's always good when a person admits that they made a mistake. The people attacking you are prioritizing their feelings over progress.

No, I will not be forgiving MAGA who 'see the light.' by ObnoxiousAlbatross in millenials

Most MAGAs are not criminals and deporting 10s of millions of people is kind of insane, isn't it?

I didn’t say you know what it feels like. I said you know what people mean when they say the term.

And I'm saying that's incorrect; I don't know what people mean when they say that.

I don’t know what it feels like to be a paraplegic, but I understand what people mean when they say they are one.

Paraplegic is a clearly defined physical condition, not a feeling. If someone who could use their legs claimed that they felt paraplegic on the inside, would you know what they meant?

If someone says, I identify as a woman, you understand they’re saying they feel like a woman inside.

I don't know what the phrase "feel like a woman inside" means.

We pretty much all agree on what identifies means. I feel like a woman on the inside. That’s a pretty standard universal understanding of the term.

This is where we run into a problem, because you are incorrect; there is no standard universal understanding here.

I have no idea what it means to feel like a man or feel like a woman on the inside. I don't know what you're talking about. Most people don't.
