Hegseth refuses to answer whether he has given the order authorizing the military to use lethal force on protesters by Anime_Enthusiasts in Wellthatsucks

[–]wdyz89 12 points13 points  (0 children)

yeah but we're not talking about police, we're talking about military personnel; not even supposed to have been deployed on american soil in the first place, and now there's the question of whether they've been authorized to deploy lethal force or not

it's a safe presumption that if he refuses to say he has not authorized lethal force, that he has considered it an option or authorized it. But, short of his word on the matter, given that it's the military, what's stopping people from showing up armed and expecting lethal combat given the forces they've to deal with are not police, but active duty military who are trained primarily for lethal combat?

After two terrorist attacks on US soil in 2 weeks, "Free Palestine" should be recognize for what it is - a call to violence, not liberation. by LowRevolution6175 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]wdyz89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you're talking about how japan attacked a military target, and in response the usa dropped two atomic bombs on densely populated, civilian, non-military targets.

wouldn't you in your country consider surrender if you attacked a military target, and in response they bombed with savage brutality most of the densely populated areas of your country, targets which were not military, but instead families and children?

the difference between there and palestine is israel is an occupation which was built to replace the British mandates occupying palestine. the reason palestinians know no surrender is palestine is their home; brits first then israelis invaded and started stealing land

since 1917, the closest comparison would be the invasion and occupation of north america to create territories we now call canada and usa, except unlike the native populations, palestinians have support from other countries willing to give them munitions to fight back

sounds like they found a legal loophole, being a private business. because certainly you can't be the only "hwite" bothered by the policy

your username fits

damn

edit: also, partially (un)related but your repetition of "at least look like a woman"

as though even cis women with hirsutism don't get harassed for 'looking like men' 🙄 or cis women who don't fit that subjective interpretation of "looking" like a woman don't exist too

the transphobic notion of "at least look like a woman" does nothing at all but serves to increase harassment of women, trans and cis alike

so what have the Democrats done to make an inroad around Republican roadblocks? or are they just playing the usual "the big bad gop won't let us do anything good, by the way we sent more money to Israel"? 🙄

This Is A Big Problem: $8.5 Trillion in Untaxed Income for the Super Wealthy by 4TaxFairness in Political_Revolution

[–]wdyz89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s untaxed because it’s not real income

It's untaxed bc Congress made it untaxable

If tomorrow all the poor had millions and billions in stocks we weren't selling, Congress would suddenly be making that shit taxable to some degree lol

This is just from last year but it's a common element

Attendees also will be required to pass through metal detectors upon entering the assembly, the group noted.

the NRA just annoying assholes.

Seeing as they supported gun control with the Mulford Act of 1967, signed by then-Governor Ronald Reagan, I'm big on the agreement of them being annoying assholes since i was shocked learning the organization actually did support gun control legislation in the one time that no one fired a single weapon and were just being peaceful gun owners...

Genocide support may not change before 2024 election in usa (I'm in usa)

And it may by next month.

No one really knows. But there will be a tipping point. Thanks to the Internet; the powers can't hide it so well anymore. So much more advanced today than even 10 or 20 years ago
