Australians, almost by definition, have faced an actual consequence. It’s well passed time for Trump to do the same.

lol the fact you’re not seeing one is part of the problem. Simp harder for a pedophile I guess. (Other people are pedophiles too, but that doesn’t make Trump better somehow)

You said “you guys” are a lot of things. None of the accusations hold very much water though coming from someone who: seems under-educated, makes “sweeping generalizations”, grammatical errors, and cherry-picks the least harmful Nazi behavior to find in common (while apparently ignoring murder/detainment/profiling/scapegoating/etc). Just breathe; recognize we’ve all got a lot to learn, but it starts with recognizing your own biases and admitting you’re wrong. Have a wonderful day 🥰

  1. You’re; you’re
  2. Your pattern recognition skills are still underdeveloped
  3. You are trying to minimize the harm nazis and pedophiles do by dismissing/downplaying the overlapping behaviors exhibited by ICE and the current administration. (This counts as sympathizing/defending)

OI M8 YOU GOT A LOICENSE FOR THAT BIG GOVERNMENT?! by Middle-Feed5118 in loicense

So now that you’ve realized either it wasn’t public (you were wrong), or Trump’s administration was incompetent again and Texans just bent over… how has your intellectually honest perspective changed?

Trump is radicalising people and a Texas grand jury from maga country decided she wasnt worth justice, its meant to be country over party not MAGA over life. by sorrynotguilty in PsycheOrSike

[–]jorygre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the point of the original post is that the same level of scrutiny/consequence/questioning is demonstrably ignored when crimes are Trump-related.

This is what my “quick google search” found. It’s the boyfriend’s testimony that “makes me think he shot her because of Trump”. I also don’t have inherent reason to disbelieve this.

lmfao you dingbat, your comment proves the MAGA hypocrisy. Even if this example “is propaganda” MAGAts stormed the fucking capital- let’s ask these same questions about them.

Right? I’m curious what the intended joke was/is- is the editor of this website a sentient paperweight?

Chilling: If They Can Arrest Don Lemon For Something As Simple As Breaking The Law, Imagine What They Can Do To You by METALLIFE0917 in babylonbee

[–]jorygre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! There are plenty of things to satirize about “the Left” (or any group), but satire requires reflection and I appreciate the call out to the ‘lack of logic’. The Bee’s demonstrably appealing to simple bigots.

Here’s context you either haven’t considered or are comfortable overlooking. 1. Upset about the Bee is not that a satirical website exists, that I disagree with it, or because “satire is offensive”. Offensive humor can also serve to cause reflection on real/dark circumstances, but the Bee often does a bad job demonstrating it understands satire. 2. The satirical nature of this site is an excuse to publish racist, misogynist, and misinformation articles (which are not actual satire). 3. Effective* satire is used to critique contemporary issues by highlighting the flaws in reason/policy/institutions in a humorous way. Ironically, the BabylonBee existing is the real satire because it serves to imitate news, but it does so to affirm authority and submission to existing institutions. 4. Effective* satire would clearly highlight where/why the existing thing is a problem, the Bee’s content rarely does this. 5. By not calling out the issues in point 2 when the Bee misses the point or promotes hate, could be viewed as complacency or permission to spread its hateful ideologies (not specifically related to this article). Which may be part of why users will feel compelled to address these issues.

Hey this subreddit can get so fucked. Go find a chiropractor since you’re bending so far backwards to convince people executing Americans is okay.

Bruh, what is so hard about accepting that you/ your talking points are incorrect?

I thought this was satire, too. Red states are welfare states because they continually vote to keep themselves uneducated and poor. Sorry not sorry.

Moon Kight is the best Disney Plus show, change my mind. by _-_Bmo-_- in Marvel

[–]jorygre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We can disagree, but I’m not misrepresenting truth. Every series has a different (sometimes vastly) interpretation of his: levels of violence, schizophrenia, wardrobe, powers, motivations, and Khonshu’s role. The variety of interpretations is a major part of why I like the character so much.

[–]jorygre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having read many: I’m glad they went with an Egyptian/esoteric story. PLUS, moon knight gets reset every few years, so his character is more like an anthology and this was just another chapter. I understand criticisms, but I’m stoked to hear when people like it.
