@civ_exp@IAPolls2022@ChangePolls It would be so convenient if you could downplay your political enemies as being stupid. It would be even more convenient if you could send them to die in ill-conceived wars while you survive to weild power. Your politics are so very convenient.
@ThunderStrzok1@wretchardthecat Winston's death is implied at the end of the book. In the ministry of love, O'Brian explains to Winston that dissidents aren't executed to prevent martyrs. Instead, they break dissidents and execute them before they relapse. Once Winston loves the party, it seals his execution.
@CallsignSerapis Then you can save the toughman posturing and you can forgive the Christians who would want to enforce Biblical punishments for homosexuality but are restrained by the same system that binds you. Anything less is pure arrogance.
@thesoypill@Howlingmutant0@Thedunkdad When you said "sure, some people are mocking his death", those of us with basic reading comprehension interpreted that as a technique to distance oneself from the explicit mocking of his death, which is a lousy way of taking "full responsibility."
@jmrphy You easily dismiss the preferences of men who aren't hanging out at bars and base your theory on men who are. Maybe the men at the bar have skewed and self destructive tastes. Then, when convenient, you seem to assert that the non bar goers are secretly the same as the bar goers.
@RazorFist Weren't you saying again and again that this war was not new, and rather a just continuation of a 40 year war? If war breaks out again, will it be a new 3 month war or a part of the broader one? I guess the length of the war is however long supports your current argument.
@EYakoby Levin berated Joe Kent for not trusting Trump's instincts and decisions in the Iran war to his face on his show. Now, he's screeching his displeasure at Trump over the MOU, revealing Levin's principles to be cynical tools of convenience worthy of public derision.
@codedpoet@truthtroll_X In the show, pictures of Bergen-Belsen were being used as proof of extermination policies. Weber responded directly to that claim. Are you saying it's nonsensical to respond to a claim that was directly made to you? Should Weber prioritize claims that his opponents didn't make?
@ThunderStrzok1@McFaul If we won the war, why does the US have to negotiate for Hormuz to be opened? That implies Iran is in a stronger position of negotiation after the war than before it.
@LauraGonzata62@GenericSnarky Liberal thinking holds that the unborn child is part of her body and is therefore her choice to allow for abortion. From there, as long as Bonnie practices sufficiently safe sex to offset STD risks, the liberal framework can't find fault in her.
@cjdpop@jifferey Have you considered that he's explaining the rationale behind not buying it? People are allowed to explain their disappointment in things as a means of communicating why they won't purchase them. Nobody is holding you down and forcing you to listen to him, though.
@justinhall46024@RazorFist@RealPData Even so, you failed to consider my point being made: John McCain's hawkish neocons aren't relics of the past like you say. They're the current ruling class.
@justinhall46024@RazorFist@RealPData Childishness. Rejecting Trump and the Iran hawks doesn't buy anyone into supporting democrats. It's possible to disapprove of republicans for demanding bombs on Iran while also disapproving of democrats by the same principle.
@jakeshieldsajj Nick would have been 12 or so when that tweet was published. If Nick's at fault for not being savvy to Jews at 12 years old, what does it mean that you went on a trip to Israel and sparred with IDF? I don't think that incriminates you, but your logic suggests it does.
@AcademicAgent_X The dialogue is randomly insufferable too. I'll always remember that deep gnome you save from the windmill calling you racist if you express surprise that he's from Baldur's Gate. It's as if he wants me to turn him back over to the goblins.
@eliotranch@MillennialWoes When Whites are attacked, as in Southport, we are propagandized to not look back in anger. When Jews are attacked, they are allowed fire and brimstone responses. Mark Collett had an excellent stream comparing them. Why should Jews get special treatment?
