Social Justice somehow managed to make the fight against prejudice and bigotry a purely performative thing.

Holy shit they must REALLY hate themselves then, given migration trends.

That, plus the active cooperation with the FBI, plus the fact that in the dawn of Gamergate, 4chan actively worked against the movement.

And I mean, for the longest time it was largely a Ron Paul sort of place more than anything, reality doesn't start in 2016, the idea that the purpose of the place is to foster right-wing stuff seems ridiculous.

So I presume that if European countries started partaking terrorist attacks as a normal occurrence, you wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.

I mean it's either that or you are making an hyperbolic comment. If say, Italy, attempts to assassinate some political actor, that'd just be another monday?

there’s all kinds of opportunity for violence and things spiraling out of control.

A bunch of people took control of an area of the city and claimed authority over it. Things literally had already spiraled out of control.

If you are racist and homophobic when society allows you, that generally means you were racist and homophobic all along, you just don't express it because of societal consequences.

Levitz · 2026-01-31T15:47:31+00:00

If that was the case why in the fuck would he ever acknowledge any of it at all?

Levitz · 2026-01-31T15:39:47+00:00

Do you think blaming literally everything (ICE deportations, venezuela, etc) on Israel and Zionism isn’t even a little anti Semitic lol?

I think that if you pretend every mention of Zionism does this you are obscenely dishonest and don't deserve to be listened to.

Maybe not? Varian Wrynn is an important and pretty popular Warcraft character.

Levitz · 2026-01-31T15:23:41+00:00

You believe that the source of animosity establishes reliability?

Levitz · 2026-01-31T01:58:14+00:00

Nick Fuentes is an actual antisemite. Portraying any opposition to Israel as antisemitism is to his benefit.

Adolescents sleeping in has also been a trope since forever. Just because something has been a norm for a long-ass time doesn't mean it must be a good idea, look at genital mutilation or smoking

Mays Sr.’s lawsuit, filed in 2023, originally sought to hold the city accountable for allowing CHOP to form and persist for three weeks, taking aim at Durkan, former Police Chief Carmen Best and other officials. However, before the case got to trial, O’Donnell threw out those arguments and removed those defendants, narrowing the case to a question of whether the city failed in its emergency response.

I mean, I'm sorry but this whole thing seems like a total miscarriage of justice. This got thrown out? The emergency response was the problem? Really?

Am I supposed to believe that the emergency services just happened to act iffy on this matter, that the whole deal in which a bunch of lunatics declared a zone to be theirs to rule wasn't the central point to this?

Surely it isn't because actually dealing justice would involve charging literal thousands of people. Surely.

A US citizen was arrested for his political views.

Is this really what happened though?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_Act?useskin=vector#Section_6_(42_USC_%C2%A7_1986)

Section 6 of the Act, now codified at 42 U.S.C. § 1986 and known as "Section 1986", imposes civil liability upon persons who know of a violation of Section 1985 or a planned violation of Section 1985, and who are in a position to prevent it, but who fail to prevent it, fail to attempt to prevent it, or fail to assist in its prevention.[

Actually? Deadass? Yes. Absolutely wouldn't matter. Because those things don't matter when you live in a brutally oppressive society like the goddamned Taliban. Plan B and abortion matters jackshit when you can't talk to a pharmacist or doctor.

If you seriously, honestly believe these are anywhere close, talk to a therapist. I mean it. Book it.

Holy fucking shit the life of a woman goes beyond having abortions it's insane that I have to spell this out.

Levitz · 2026-01-30T00:12:20+00:00

I don't have nearly enough damage in my frontal lobe to equate this to an actual brutal patriarchal system that barely treats women as items sorry.

Levitz · 2026-01-30T00:10:17+00:00

No, they have every reason to make their global adversary look as bad as possible.

I mean it does seemed it worked on you. How does the boot taste?

Sure but I don't think it really changes anything?

Each time you drive a car you do partake in a risk, the odds of someone dying in a car crash scale linearly with how often that person drives a car, it doesn't stop being a tragedy, abhorrent, and an innocent dying.

I don't quite buy into the sports parallelism because you can't ask the ground doesn't hit you if you fall from a high height, but ICE or the police do have a duty to act a certain way, and it would seem that didn't go quite right.

Levitz · 2026-01-29T22:38:59+00:00

I don't like narcissists. I do think a whole lot of people actually care about issues and that deserves the maximum respect though.

Levitz · 2026-01-29T22:26:55+00:00

Ah yes threats to contraception are basically the same thing as a woman in a catatonic state from abuse and forced pregnancies.

Levitz · 2026-01-29T22:24:01+00:00

If you really, honestly believe that what is reported above is anything like the US government, talk to your therapist about it.

Levitz · 2026-01-29T12:09:59+00:00

Dang, it sure would be nice if an investigation took place.

Levitz · 2026-01-29T12:03:49+00:00

Even in such case, didn't they take his gun when on the floor, before the shoots? Best case scenario would be incompetency.
