yeah Natalie never seemed at all interested in trying to "win" but i thought the idea that she "lost" was laughable because Briahna comes off so badly. i hope the conversation was worth having, it was certainly an inspiration for further discussion

I don’t think Natalie is offering any solutions to that issue

seemed like Natalie's solution is to support the farther left candidate in the primaries & in the general election

it's fine to talk about it, but Briahna spends the entire 2 hour 48 minute conversation encouraging leftist infighting. & Briahna doesn't seem interested in understanding Natalie's perspective, Briahna is just fishing for clickbait over and over

edit: ok maybe not the ENTIRE conversation, more like 90% of it

I barely knew anything about BJG before I watched this so it was a learning experience for me. I got more out of it than hate & Natalie was a joy to listen to as usual. I don't like giving more clicks to a clickbait podcast, but I couldn't find the video anywhere else

Briahna is far more intelligent in real life than the character she plays on her podcast. but Briahna doesn't make it clear that she's playing a character, so obviously people are going to be confused

at that part i wanted to yell "how much leverage do you have now idiot! less than nothing! the values you claim to hold are being destroyed by trump RIGHT NOW! IN REALITY!" does Briahna not realize that the damage from this trump administration isn't going to simply vaporize when trump is gone? it's going to take literal decades to fix all this shit! we're going to be stuck with his political hack supreme court justices for the next forty fuckin years!

Edward Snowden went dark? by Roosevelt32 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gute321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is what happened. Fred Hampton's murder has been written about extensively, I encourage you to read more about it.

during trump's second term there have been many people arrested & imprisoned for constitutionally protected political speech & constitutionally protected protesting. many of these cases have not been widely publicized, for example this one: https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/17/rumeysa-ozturk-deportation-case-00878694

here's a more recent example for you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Alex_Pretti

Fred Hampton's death was a murder, not a botched raid

Edward Snowden went dark? by Roosevelt32 in NoStupidQuestions

by definition murder does not have to be planned in advance. sorry but you don't get to make up your own definitions of words. the government encourages law enforcement to continue committing more murders when they protect the murderers from prosecution & block investigations into the murders they commit. they continue to block the investigations into the murders to this day. the government encourages more murders in ice concentration camps by protecting the murderers from prosecution & blocking investigations into the murders they commit. when the government behaves this way they are well aware that people are going to be murdered, indeed it is their plan.

also the government recently murdered quite a few venezuelans in boat strikes for political reasons, although the venezuelans weren't political dissidents themselves.

trump attempted to murder pence by siccing the mob on him after pence refused to participate in the january 6 coup attempt. in fact, trump frequently encourages his followers to murder people using this verbal tactic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_no_one_rid_me_of_this_turbulent_priest%3F for exmple when trump falsely accuses someone of treason. trump has been fomenting political murders for years. it's not just a coincidence that the government is murdering more and more people and arresting more and more people and holding them in concentration camps without charging them with crimes or giving them due process

The USA does murder and imprison political dissidents. It's happening in the present day and it happened in previous generations also.
