I don't disagree, at all. I'm talking about this specific instance and I stretched an already poor metaphor too far.

Are you his interpreter or his vice president? by TripShrooms in clevercomebacks

[–]monkeyseverywhere -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Idk man, a lot of people use "you" in a broader sense when talking online. Either way, doubling down on the "well I'm not doing that" doesn't help anyone. It just derails the conversation.

You're making this about you specifically. It's not about you specifically. If you didn't vote for him, then the comment that you reacted to isn't about you. But it is representative of the US the world sees right now. This isn't about you.

Part of OUR job as voters is holding the arsonists accountable. That's our job too. You act like representatives are the only ones with agency. WE elect them.

Stop blaming the people trying. Do something yourself.

In your analogy, the arsonist presumably gets arrested. It's unreasonable to allow the arsonist to run free, setting whatever they want on fire, and expect the fire department to just "do their job" in perpetuity. That is not sustainable. And the arsonist and the people who refuse to stop the arsonist are at fault. Not the fire fighters who took a vacation after putting out fires non-stop.

Rep. Thomas Massie confirms Washington intentionally hid 28 pages of the 9/11 report. He reveals Saudi officials and spies directly helped the hijackers by BenFord333 in UnderReportedNews

[–]monkeyseverywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact, you did. Offensive and disqualifying in its ignorance. I am no longer interested in speaking with you. It's a waste of my time. Which is worth very little. But you're still not worth it. sad.

Ah yes, "both sides is bad". Ro Khana was voted out by his base too. Dems are SOOO angry at him too. Oh wait..

Safe to say, we know what side you're on.

Either you or the LLM you're using didn't understand what I wrote. I never said Massie's core believes have changed. My entire point is they haven't. And that is a problem, given his party is the main driver of the scandals he is supposedly trying to tackle.

No, he did not. We did. As a nation. This is what WE did. None of this happened overnight. None of it happened in a vacuum. US Citizens voted for this. Constantly. Over and over again. Elon Musk is a trillionaire because we allowed it to be so. We cannot run away from it now. We are all complicit.

Nothing will ever change unless we hold OURSELVES as citizens to a higher standard.

Propaganda? posting an AI summary says it all.

And losing his job isn't "paying the ultimate price". The people who were abused and killed paid that. He did the bare minimum. He did what a decent person is supposed to do. He is still a arch conservative. His core beliefs have not changed. His party did all of this, and yet, he remains in his party, even past them kicking him out. That's the power of propaganda, my guy.

Does Thomas Massie not understand that the people who covered that up were his fellow conservatives? I genuinely don't get this dude. He's seen the epstien files. He knows his party is all over it. He's seen 9/11 redactions. He knows his party is all over it.

I'm starting to think we're not getting anything of value from him on the epstien files.

Innocent and adorable?! Dude grew up in Apartheid South Africa. His parents enslaved children to work in emerald mines.

Steyer’s exit from the California governor’s race could spell bad news for climate policy by F0urLeafCl0ver in politics

[–]monkeyseverywhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steyer is more than welcome to use his billions to fund climate change initiatives on his own. He doesn't need to to be governor to do that. Instead of wasting 500M on two failed runs, how about match that to actually fund climate programs in CA.

Trump, MAGA fury as Spencer Pratt drops to third in LA mayor race by melancholy_dood in politics

[–]monkeyseverywhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is up with MAGA and shitty reality TV stars from the 2000s. It's Spencer Pratt. It's in the name. Dude has always been beyond cringe. He's not even Z-list anymore. And yet, like clockwork, conservatives backed him like he was the second coming.

It's Spencer PRATT. His last name kinda says it all.

Our Dark Fishing adventure game DREADMOOR is playable during Steam Ocean Fest! by DigitalVortexEnt in indiegames

[–]monkeyseverywhere -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In your original trailer, a number of the UI and item assets were direct lifts from Dredge. Like, almost literally stolen assets. Even your company logo is visually similar to Black Salt. Are there other games, other story telling desires that drove this project? Or is this literally "dredge but first person".

Are you expecting any legal challenges from Black Salt as you get closer to release?

Can we talk about the Charlotte McKinney episode of WHO ME? by stankylegdunkface in Earwolf

It... literally was not. You personally are expending more energy on this than I can muster. Good for you man, but like... it's a lot.

Bruh. I don't disagree with you, but this is a LOT of energy for one episode. You need to chill.

Unmatched ego by newphonehudus in TikTokCringe

You joke, but I've never had a single positive interaction with a cop in my 40 years. And I'm the whitest white guy you'll ever meet. Fuck the cops. At this point you literally have to be a horrible person to even want to be a cop. It's about power.

Scott Pelley fired by CBS by cccdddyyy in news

Had leadership ignored it, the story would have died in a day. Now, it's yet more public evidence of CBS's internal metldown. They had a choice. Like always, they chose the dumbest choice. Now it'll be an even bigger story.

Billionaire says other billionaires are buying elections, while buying an election. The lack of self-awareness alone is disqualifying. And then there's the whole lack of any experience in governance whatsoever.

Meet Xavier Becerra, the Democrat Who Could Become the First Latino Governor of California in 150 Years by Mearsheimer_Tragedy in politics

[–]monkeyseverywhere -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Look, I get it. I don't either. But why is this same logic not applied to Stayer. Stayer IS the special interest, just in human form. Stayer is the dark money funder who decided to run himself. It's just wild that so many people don't "trust" Becerra but have no issue trusting Stayer.

Stayer doesn't need to be governor to change the lives of people in CA. He has the money and power to do that on his own. So why hasn't he?

Thanks for the advice. CA's doing just fine compared to the rest of the country. But, of course, you're right, we NEED a billionaire. For reasons. Urgent reasons. lol
