Sometimes you argue for the lurkers, not the people in front of you. The key is avoid posting walls of text and to throw grenades, not catch them.

You are of course correct. My oversight.

Small Government to them is defined as not spending tax money to help people.

These are people who define big government as “spending tax money to help people”.

We need an anti-flock campaign. A city government didn’t give them permission to put their cameras up and when they did it anyway, the city covered them in garbage bags before they could get removed.

If our country finishes it’s transition to fascism and I did nothing to stop that, I’ll have to own that. Inaction will lump me in with the fascists. Neutrality makes me a guilty party; for evil to triumph, all good men must do is nothing. History isn’t kind to collaborators regardless of their reasons.

No, I’m a Leftist.

Ok, but fascism is wildly popular in the USA right now.

Yes, we’re a fascist country now.

But more to the point, brining up a country that was founded on Genocide of Native Americans to argue that we shouldn’t speak ill of a country founded on Genocide of Palestinians is wild.

a few terrible people in power have sway with a vast number of easily led racists

This describes both Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Again, weird take unless you’re pushing for us to drop the Nazi label from 1933-1945 Germany.

Old Fashioned Pirates were poor people treated like shit by their society lashing out at the system of oppression.

Genocide is wildly popular in Israel right now

"Dubbed the “Sderot cinema” by Israelis online, watching Israel’s bombardment has become a popular pastime; people take turns looking through tower viewers. Some bring popcorn and snacks, and some snap selfies as the thud of airstrikes echo in the distance.

“When I look at Gaza from here and see buildings still standing, it makes me upset. … I want Israel to continue until it’s all flattened,” Rafael Hemo, an onlooker told CNN."

The takeaway that alot of people had from the holocaust was “genocide is bad”. The takeaway that most Israelis and alot of other Jews had was “Genocide against God’s chosen people is bad”.

You’re free to start one. This is the people’s internet after all.

That’s fair weather friend stuff. I won’t be the good man who does nothing, the good man who runs away. If Evil triumphs, it will be despite me, not because of me.

Your parents are the prime example of what’s wrong with Democrats and why America is probably fucked. MAGA/Fascists are the minority in our politics but the adage “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing” rings true.

I endlessly have to correct people, both the ignorant and the malicious. I’m not pro-hamas or anti-israel, I’m anti-genocide regardless of who the victim is and regardless of who the perpetrator is.

I can’t tell you how many times I was ignorant of a topic and spent 10-15 minutes learning about it then see hordes of people on reddit or facebook asking other people about it or spreading misinformation about the most basic things cause they’re incapable or unwilling to spend 10-15 minutes learning about it.

Well Democrats aren’t fully committed to fighting a fascist regime so not yelling at Democrats would be a silly thing to do

There were moments when it intensified suddenly. Most recently when their stock was about to go public.

Reddit be a mess, yall

Fuck Apple but honestly this app is like trying to stay warm with matches in Antarctica.
