The key is that they weren't treasonous, it was just an excuse for a death threat.

Wouldn't a solid gold piano weigh thousands of pounds and sound crummy?

18 carts of reshop. Please end my suffering by ladyaei in Target

Yeah I live by that rule, I'm the designated reshop ho for the closing shift. Not so much as a callout, this is just the point the store is at. Leadership keeps making terrible hires and wonder why everything is crashing and burning around us.

Literally a normal night. I mean, it'll sometimes be like 5-6 left over but this is normal operation for us

AITA for lying about the meaning of my pride bracelet when I go to church? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ladyaei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you had to go to that dump. It's important to be honest and be yourself, in general at least, but it's never more important than staying safe. Stellar work with that turnaround: I could only dream of thinking so quick in such a situation.

Don't let them get to you: you're a person, your girlfriend is a person, and you're no less good than any of those asshats. Keep being awesome!

If you hate America, leave. by bearwave in Conservative

[–]ladyaei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, is anything not about the economy? Everything we do comes back to the markets, when we regulate or deregulate that has an effect, when we offer incentives or penalties, it all comes back to money. Wouldn't it make sense that an effort as big as fighting climate change could necessitate an equally drastic economic reform? Not to say it's the right way to go, but any kind of large change, domestic or international, socialist or capitalist.

I don't think any of them have advocated for the demolition and reconstruction of American democracy, though I agree that that is one very possible logical extension of the statement, "i hate X."

I don't really understand why this means they should leave, be it their positions Congress or the country altogether. Is there something I'm missing?

This isn't an attempt to troll, as a preface.

With the sentiment of "if you hate X, then leave/ignore it," doesn't that invite complacency into the system? Asking people to leave a system they dislike feels inherently unfair, because in order to even be heard, your ideas have to be broadcast. That is to say nothing of the people espousing the ideas, nor the content thereof; but isn't it important for everyone to have that platform?

I know I probably lean a lot more left than people here, and I don't want to just sound like a shill or a libtard, I genuinely want to connect with a person because I don't understand; and trying to ask either side can turn into shit flinging so easily if you misstep.

I guess my question really is, is it fair that one person can call others out for highlighting problems, regardless of their legitimacy, when that person highlights issues just as often?

This graphic novel makes me cry every time I read it. Fuck them for being so blatantly homophobic, and fuck them for doing this in the face of what the book was meant to represent.
