You're holding them accountable? How? By making sure they're not in power, so we're at where we are today? You're holding them accountable by having people deported en masse as a result of your strategy?

You seem to think you're hurting dems by not voting. You're not. They're still rich and in power. The people that were actually impacted are the people in LA, all the small businesses falling apart from tariffs, people being grabbed off the street.

All this, because you want to stick it to the dems, do you really feel good about the effects of that choice?

And this wild characterization of everyone in a group helps nothing. People seem so hungry for more enemies.

Lol you seem equal parts confused and angry

Thank God we avoided that, right? Right?

How do you read "take responsibility for their impact" and then jump to "solely to blame." I swear people just hear what they want so they have a reason to be angry.

Yes, but I have a justifiable defense.

If I'm at risk of being thrown in a hole and forgotten about, I see that as my life is at risk. I will demand them to identify and if they don't, that's where the 2A comes in. At that point I'm literally fighting for my life however you look at it.

Yes, but it's not the ONLY thing going on. Would you let the rest of the world burn to stop genocide in the middle east? I'm guessing not.

So if there is a massive problem that we can't directly take action to fix, you try to attack the source of the problem or other adjacent problems.

This idea that the Dems need to be fully against it or I'll never vote for them is naive. If the alternative is WW3 with 10x the deaths or continued genocide I don't like either but I'm not going to sit on the sidelines while WW3 starts and complain about the dems stance as the reason I didn't try to prevent it. Maintaining a moral high ground at the expense of people isn't ok. Yes they could have done a million things better or different, but they didn't. We had a choice to make with the options we had. Some people rejected reality and ushered in this shit storm so they could keep their concussion clean, it's selfish. They'd rather have peace of mind than actually prevent suffering, because they had a chance to and didn't.

There are other people, other children suffering because of Trump that would not have been if Harris won. That's just fact. Preventing him from getting in office or not, the events in the middle east remain the same, but those other lives impacted could have been prevented. We need to open up our world view and have it grounded in reality.

Can we stop attacking each other? They are working the "divide and conquer" from every angle, can we not create yet another division within a group of people that agree with each other?

The guy brought a gun, but from what I can see he didn't break any laws before being attacked. I'm confused on what the protester was protecting himself from. He too brought a gun there.

I'm not ok with someone being shot for thought crimes, assuming what they might do. That's a very slippery slope.

Also, the person you replied to layed out their opinion in a very respectful way, and you end with fuck you? You sound like a child who can't process their emotions.

The state's attorney can bring charges after an investigation, not some beat cop who stumbled into the situation.

Your hate is blinding you to reality my guy.

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

This is a legit worry I have.... Lemme ask ChatGPT how I should process this.

Wow, I I've heard of moving the goal posts but that's moving to a whole new field lol.

Let's get a refresher on what you said

Get literally any soldier who was deployed to iraq or afghanistan drunk and they'll tell you about unpunished warcrimes they witnessed or participated in.

Yeah that's not at all the same.

Not every single soldier witnessed or participated in that.

You are desperately reaching instead of just saying you were wrong. Come on man, this is weak.

 

It wouldn't be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?
