@EgoDriv It reminds me of those "rescuing a puppy" videos.
Like, please do rescue puppies, and kittens, and feed the homeless. Why are you videoing it when a puppy is dying you douche?
@hodgetwins Being mindful, considerate, and panicked are different things. So are sweeping comments.
I helped an elderly lady across a parking lot just the other day. Think about that sweeping statement. (Don't approach women, ever!)
Still, it is good to be mindful and I understand her fear.
@LevelUpMafia_ Sometimes more than one seemingly contradictory thing can be true in complex circumstances.
"Fools multiply when wise men are silent" AND "Do not cast your pearls before swine lest they turn and rend you with it."
Speak to all that listen. For others, truth speaks for itself.
@gunpolicy If the statement starts
"We just need to create a surveillance state because"
or
"We just need more authority to"
or
"We just need to round up all the (people here)"
The end might make you a Nazi.
The end might make you a Commie.
But the end won't justify the means.
@_Apost8@MsMelChen Its like you didn't notice that often times this same trend comes from literally the exact same author and that newspapers have editors and requirements to approximately agree
Imagine if Fox news tried your argument
"That's just someone at Fox, not Fox saying that!"
Not buying it
@WashTimes China banned YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook...
The US has equal authority to ban ticktock under standards of intellectual fairmindedness.
They are being hypocrites.
@MilMileBattery@GerberKawasaki I'm not Republican and I didn't vote for Trump, but I find Elon's openness and willingness to break from a far left-wing corporate fake metanarrative relieving. So many corporations have spent years lying about their views to appease the far left and avoid boycotts...
@MilMileBattery@GerberKawasaki Basic empathy ought to let them see their opponent's perspectives. They ought to know that not everyone defines toxic the same. For every person who sees Elons behavior as toxic, there are both independents and conservatives who find it relief from left-wing toxicity.
@emt2er_t @JackPosobiec That would be like me declaring myself "Antired" meaning anti-red coat. Anyone that supports gun control is clearly a traitor and pro-red coat. Anyone that disagrees with anything someone calling themselves antired says must be a traitor.
It's just semantics and double-speak...
@JackPosobiec When antifa shows up, they always seem to remember their masks. Its the same thing Democrats did in the 1950s but they were Klan hoods back then.
At some point, as a general rule. If you go to book burnings silence speakers and commit terrorism in a mask, you might be the bad guy
@scrowder Desantis is substantially better than Trump.
Trump used populist crude talking points to rally people, but lacked a history in politics, a reputation that could likely win (Half the country would vote against him rather than for the opposition), and has less substantial results.
@SSDavis13 @ThisIsKyleR There is absolutely such a thing as pitting someone or one's self in an avoidable situation that you would be responsible for.
Kyle didn't do that. His critics were proven factually wrong on every relevant claim.
@TheSmartGump@laurenboebert@us_navyseals Your really aren't a smart man are you. Fair enough. Just because there are risks associated with freedom doesn't mean you get to ban the freedom. Children die. That can be addressed in some ways. None of those ways include violating the rights of hundreds of millions of people.
