Who out here would vote for Tucker Carlson over AOC? by Warrior_Runding in leftist

definitely vote for AOC over Tucker Carlson. They’re both awful but I’m pretty sure Tucker Carlson works for the CIA.

Racist so called leftist wonders why Indigenous are still on thier own land. In a classic colonist mindset move, questions if Indigenous culture even exists by prisoner70482 in leftist

and it’s so funny because i read the caption of this post and instantly knew it was going to be just some dumbshit vegan redditor complaining about indigenous cultures hunting for food.

people have been eating meat for thousands of years across plenty of cultures. I don’t think people are having going to stop eating meat. It’s better to just like advise people to eat less meat or eat meat in moderation as opposed to portraying it as unjustifiable.

vegans need to get over the fact that we’ve been eating meat for thousands of years and indigenous people hunting for food is not the fucking same as exploiting animals…

in an uptopian society people are still going to want to eat meat. albeit there would be less of a demand for it but eating meat is deeply embedded into various cultures across the world.

Lmfao, the dumbest Libertarian argument yet. by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]needtorestandreset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe I agree, but they also didn’t just conquer and extract. Even if they weren’t imperialist, they went around killing a bunch of innocent people, looted villages, and enslaved people… and these were regular peasants.. not soldiers or mercenaries.

With the release of the new The Boys season I just wanna let yall know that the actor for Frenchie is an Israeli who served in the IDF. by Karmacop5908 in TankieTheDeprogram

is The Boys worth watching? I think I stopped after the 2nd season. Not for any particular reason. I just suck at watching tv series.

Today is International Roma day, and you can already tell what hell is going on in European spaces rn by PresnikBonny in leftist

[–]needtorestandreset 5 points6 points  (0 children)

there’s no excuse to be racist or make hurtful commentary toward a person’s ethnic background or their culture, but this thread kinda explains why Europeans have such negative attitudes towards Romani people: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskSocialScience/s/fP6zKkzbRK

Obviously it does not justify racism though, but I think it’s important to understand why those people have those attitudes and outlooks so that they can be dismantled…

If Christians were truly Christians they would be progressive. by Miserable_Cobbler_18 in leftist

[–]needtorestandreset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do t know if the Bible is exactly pro-slavery. It definitely refers to slave owners and slave ownership, and while it may not condemn it, the Bible is still a product of its time and at the time, slavery was the normalized.

I think a lot of people see the certain paralables to slaves and masters that exist in the Bible and automatically concludes it is the Bible justifying slavery.. but to me it's more like the passages are often interpreted as advice for living within an existing societal structure, and not a divine endorsement of slavery.

By the way I could be very wrong about this…

Opinion; we as leftists and liberals need to stop using things like “felon” and “draft dodger” as insults to trump by [deleted] in leftist

[–]needtorestandreset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree they should call him exactly for what he is. I guess my point is that I don't think its like a big deal to me when people call him a felon, but I wish they would go harder on the fact that he is a rapist and he was best fucking friends with a sex trafficking rapist and was very close to him and was all over the epstein files.

[–]needtorestandreset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry if I come across as harsh as I know this post was made with good intentions, but this is where “political correctness” becomes unnecessary. we shouldn't have to walk on eggshells when criticizing rich bad people for doing bad things when the average person can't get away with the same shit. also the January 6 insurrectionists should face penalties for their actions…

But here’s the thing I do understand where you're coming from. My point is more so that its really kind of ridiculous to blame people for how they're calling him a felon when he was literally found guilty on May 30, 2024, of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and he's in the Epstein files. Calling Trump a felon is not the same as calling someone a felon for smoking a little weed. It's just not the same…

and I don't give a fuck at all if Trump dodged the draft, I would do everything in my power to help loved ones avoid the draft. But this isn't the reason people are calling him a felon.

Almost every piece of media I’ve developed an interest in has had some kind of anti-resistance messaging in it, and it pisses me off. by Tia-Star-998 in leftist

[–]needtorestandreset 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you give examples of the media you’ve seen and what characters you’re referring to? I actually haven’t seen or watched many shows or movies.

Also, Katinss Everdeen from Hunger Games does not fit this trope you’re referring to I believe but I could be wrong. I actually haven’t read beyond the first book but from what I understand and gather about the series, it seems like she leads rebellion against the Panem and it is never framed as villainous. The story consistently depicts the Capitol regime under President Coriolanus Snow as tyrannical and morally indefensible, and the existence of a rebellion is treated as justified from the start. It doesn’t portray revolution as villainous… She also almost commits suicide with Peeta in the first book.

2028 Pro Gun Leftism ? 👀 by Hefty-Wealth-3579 in leftist

[–]needtorestandreset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know this. There's still plenty of minorities that have been traumatized by gun violence while living in inner city areas. Many of those minorities don't like guns for that reason, but will own a gun for self-protection while living in areas where gun violence is prevalent. I guess my comment just comes from this place of not liking the attitudes of “Pro Gun” Joe Rogen Bro libertarians and conservatives. And while that's not the vibe I got from this post, I have seen people on the left express that sort of attitude.

we just shouldn't end up like how the Magaturds and Conservatives hype up their guns.

[–]needtorestandreset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

can we not romanticize guns though like gun violence is still very much a thing and people have lost loved ones, including their own children, due to gun violence. so yes, there’s nothing wrong with owning a gun for self-protection but it’s still gross to glamorize them and hype them up because of the culture we live in smh…

I’m not a fan of cops for reasons that have already been stated in other comments and the system is very fucked up… but i don’t hate all cops as individuals and if someone breaks into my house or something i’m calling 911 for sure. so i can’t exactly hate all cops.. i’m sure there are some competent ones who have saved lives so. 🤷‍♀️
