I love that when Republicans call for people to be murdered it’s not a crime, but if I posted that Republicans should be executed I’d probably be in jail
Reminds me of the CEO of Flock who said that people taking down flock cameras are terrorists, like antifa.
JFC, I just can't with these people.
People were losing their jobs for repeating things Charlie Kirk said word for word. But there was no pearl clutching when he said that "some patriot" should bail out the man who attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer. Not uproar over trump saying he was glad that Robert Mueller had died. They know that they're hypocrites, but they've realized that decency and the social contract in general can be wielded as a cudgel if your side collectively agrees to give themselves a pass.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
If someone is just going to choose to be a destabilizing agent in society and deliberately psychologically assault people, they should be removed.
Send them to prison like Johnny Somali.
In the aftermath of Kirk getting shot, didn't people lose their fucking jobs for being overly truthful about the kinds of shit that Kirk actually said? Like people were not being sufficiently mournful enough over this national hero or something, FFS.
But, IOKIYAR. Republicans can call for their "enemies" to be murdered, but if Democrats don't bow and scrape after a shitheel like Kirk is shot, well, then, Katy bar the door.
Pretty much, shit is fucked
that's kind of how I got banned on reddit
I posted a shitpost comment on a Luigi meme and that got me banned on Reddit
At this point Zionseddit is going to ban anyone for speaking against the Epstein class, while r/conservative gets a pass to constantly post hate and misinformation, while making vague suggestions about taking care of the libs. The auto mods have gotten out of control, to the point of making the entire platform unusable.
Any attempt at political discourse on Reddit is pathetic and its utility has been reduced to mindless TikTok drivel, 15-sec porn clips with no apparent limits on ethics, karma farming and bot posts to push ad traffic.
I just miss the hobby results reddits. And yes I was perma banned too. For stupidly posting on a sub with 2 different accounts, the first being named for "political content" I'm sorry I didn't realize healthcare was "political" when taking about how hard it was to pay for it personally.
So working as intended
I can’t believe I never got banned. I just left because it’s a bot farm.
I post that all the time, because it's true
You just need to post 8647 and they try to throw you in jail.
He's the guy that shows up to the orgy 6 hours early and fully nude but the Cracker Barrel staff haven't even moved the tables yet since they're still serving dinner.
IYNYN but it’s also like a universal experience. Just like when the local gimp gets lost in Golden Corral while the meat carving station has finally freed up
IYKYK. K=Know. Did you have a brain lapse or is English a second language? No shade, just curious
If you nut you nut.
Hey man close your eyes and ya can barely tell it’s a warm pot of gravy
I remember her from Paper Mario!
To anyone unaware of why anyone would care who the Texas Railroad Comissioner is, while the position originally did, in fact, oversee trains, it no longer does. What it oversees is oil and gas production and facilities. So it's a very powerful position in the state of Texas.
"Calling people Fascist and Nazis is rhetoric that promotes violence." Oh mkay. What's this then?
So wild to me... "Don't call out their violence or they'll be more violent" is such a strange thing for them to say
People treat reactionaries like they don't have agency and leftists like they're somehow responsible for the actions of the aforementioned reactionaries.
Abuser mentality writ large.
‘you made me do this’
At this point, I consider Republicans to be traitors. The crimson lining of a civil war, is being able to send them to where they belong.
... 😒
There was a time that I thought peace between our camps was good, that we were fellow Americans. I don't anymore. They kept pushing their malice. At some point, punching the bully is the only reasonable response.
I've never thought the Republican policies, in general, were better than the Dem policies. But I have, on occasion voted for the Republican in elections (local or state) when I thought that person was a better candidate. Those days are decades behind me now. I'll vote Dem, or leave it blank if I really don't agree with the candidate, but I can't imagine voting for anyone connected with that traitor party ever again.
They've never been fellow Americans. They've always been hostile to every American ideal, and to America itself.
The only change is that they use to put effort into hiding it.
The entire Conservative Party needs to labeled as a terrorist organization and dismantled.
We need to scalp a few of them too. Fascists only speak violence.
We could have avoided all of this if ever confederate traitor was hung for treason after the civil war.
The same thing should have been done with the J6 group attempting to overthrow our nations democracy. Instead they were pardoned and pointed to as patriots. It’s embarrassing and a complete disgrace to the word patriot.
We don’t need them speaking. I belong to team Launch Them Into The Sun.
That's awful shame on you.
What a horrible waste of precious rocket fuel. Launching them in to deep space takes far less fuel and removes the problem all the same. Especially since we're not worried about g forces on the rocket cargo.
Fair point. I just kinda like the pageantry of knowing they’ll be panicking as they see it draw closer and closer.
In a rational country, he would instantly lose his position
We MUST work WITH and FOR him to Ensure we ARENT being Political!
-The Democrats he WANTS TO KILL!
This guy is so awful he's got a real shot at losing this race to Jon Rosenthal, meaning we'll have a Democratic Railroad Commissioner. Both French and Paxton have made a ton of enemies among Republicans in Texas by defeating establishment-type incumbents in their primaries and by their awful behavior
I love that thanks for the optimism
Well he should be first in line when Nuremberg 2.0 comes then.
And Lemmy removes comments that call for the execution of conservatives.
Early voting starts October 19th and runs until October 30th. If you live in one of these counties, you can vote at any polling station in the county you reside in.
I bet he would squeal and cry and plead and beg in a situation like January 6th
All hat…
