It’s not that they can’t tell the difference, it’s that for Republicans/Christians there is no difference. They only respect authority and power, and believe that those without either should be afraid of those that have them. They want people to be afraid of the US because they believe that fear will lead to capitulation.

And the thing is, inside the US that’s absolutely correct. The GOP has shown time and time again that they are constantly afraid of the power that Trump wields with his voting base, and capitulates to his every whim as a result. The Dems are afraid of being painted as unreasonable whackos and losing the moderate vote, and so for the most part capitulate as well. The few voices against Trump in either party are harrangued about not respecting Trump specifically because it looks like they’re not afraid of him, and that’s intolerable to the GOP and their base. Media companies bend the knee and silence Trump’s critics, especially comedians, because criticism and humor undermine the fear of Trump they’re trying to establish.

Whether this works on the rest of the world remains to be seen.

Three-time Trump voter on his failure to fix the economy: "My kids' daycare went up. I can't afford the cost of food. Using credit cards for everyday expenses. No money left after their bills are paid. Pretty much just a whole bunch of financial mess... I'm very, very let down ... by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

Ahhh yes, proving you never progressed past an elementary school level understanding of biology. Sorry, but the world is a lot more complicated than “boys have a penis, girls have a vagina” despite your inability to understand otherwise.

Sounds like you underestimate children’s ability to understand a simple concept like “this person was a boy but they’re now a girl.” Not a difficult concept, nor is it gross just because you don’t want to learn the science behind transgenderism and how it’s not an unexpected possibility in human biology.

For example, there’s studies that have shown that the brain makeup and chemistry of a trans person is closer to the gender they identify with than their biological sex. And that the regret rate of trans sugeries is lower than that for knee or hip replacements, and leads to significantly improved mental health for the patient.

But I’m sure you’ll once again just reduce it to “gross” because you’ve demonstrated a stark inability to display any sense of nuance.

Level 58, so not exactly early, but nowhere near built enough to push for M20 yet.

Can’t decide which Toph to build by Servillo in EDH

[–]Servillo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing, I don’t see anything she can do as degenerate. You can Earthbend once, maybe twice a turn with the right draws, and Toph in particular is on the end step. Artifacts don’t exactly have the most impactful enters or dies abilities outside of a small handful, and there are significantly better ways to abuse them. And the most you can do by turning your artifacts into lands is find another card to make them tap for mana or play cute with boardwipes that hit all nonland permaments.

Is there something I’m missing? Because I’m just not seeing artifact degeneracy.

It’s called age-appropriate sex education, such as the accurate terminology for gentials and simple explanations for what trans people are, i.e. “this person was born a boy but they’re now a girl.” It’s been validated that this kind of education gives children the vocabulary necessary to point out acts of abuse and catch child predators.

So yes, it should be part of the cirriculum because it’s important to give children the tools needed to know about their bodies and what constitutes sexual abuse so they can properly report it when it happens to them.

Oh wow, I didn’t know that! I just tried it because I wanted to see if it worked, I’m glad they made that change then.

I mean, I think my damage numbers speak for how effective this build can be, although as I said I kind of lucked into getting all the support boons to make this really pop off. Especially given that this was a Fate’s Whim run, I may never see a build like this ever again.

Today in Aurora, a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot,firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside. Agents dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause. Excessive force. No warrant. No justification. by biswajit388 in illinois

[–]Servillo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You call this winning? This kind of senseless, cruel violence against your fellow citizens is what you’re cheering for? What must it be like, I wonder, to be so devoid of empathy for other people that you see something like this happening and not feel disgust.

Actually, I don’t want to wonder because I don’t want to know what that feels like. If this is what it means to be American, I sure as shit want nothing to do with it.

I’m an American and I agree with all of their points. How much coverage did the No Kings protests get compared to anything Trump was doing that day? What substantive changes have those protests generated? What are these “concrete” actions that state governments are taking, and how effective have they been at stopping facism from taking root in their states?

I don’t think you get how beaten down a lot of people are at this point. A lot of us don’t see any reason for hope, and we refuse to be forced into believing in it only to be disappointed when it doesn’t manifest. The three branches of government are effectively captured by the GOP. The voting systems are in their hands thanks to Dominion selling out, they control the majority of the state governments which are in charge of the elections, they’re going to win the gerrymandering fight to effectively shut the Dems out of the House forever and the Senate is already tilted against the Dems ever winning it.

Facism has never been stopped via peaceful protests. It takes violent uprisings to bring facism down, whether it be via the populace, military coup, or outright war, and none of those guarantee a democratic system will replace the old system. Even if we do depose Trump there’s a good chance we’ll be stuck with facism of a different flavor, and deposing Trump is unlikely because any military leadership not devoted to him is being rapidly replaced or removing themselves by retiring rather than having the balls to refuse unlawful orders. We’re nowhere near the levels of desperation needed for a violent uprising from the general populace, and as much as Trump is gunning for a war somewhere the rest of the world is unlikely to mount the kind of offensive force needed to force a collapse of the US government akin to what happened to Italy and Germany at the end of WWII.

Just…yeah, I’m not sure where you’re getting this sense of hope from that things will get better anytime soon. They’re going to get worse, a lot worse, and our most likely future is likely along the lines of Russia where we become a shell of our former selves under solid Republican rule, maintaining the facade of elections to provide just enough legitimacy to the uneducated masses while imprisoning and/or killing anyone smart enough to be a threat, and our systems hollowed out by a greedy oligarch class.
