For a small fee, I will go to your enemy's dojo and save you two months' beatings by signing you up for the All Valley Karate Championships and getting them to agree not to lay a hand on you until then.
I'm not making any judgement about what's good or right, just observing that, perhaps because I'm a child of the Cold War, this kind of military news is much less stressful to me than the usual stuff we're getting about whether fascists will hang the vice president and take over.
@Noahpinion I'd be curious to see this broken down by type of crime.
Like, what does it look like if you remove low level marijuana possession, for example? Stuff like that.
@SlovakiaSK@whstancil I'm actually wondering what the over-under is that we'll eventually find some wink and a nod connection of the source of these bots to Musk himself, a la the way Breitbart was letting white supremacists edit their articles ahead of time.
@betterltthannvr@whstancil Sure, because it's an arbitrary label and the whole thing is people being freaked out by their own insecure vibes, as Stancil keeps pointing out.
@betterltthannvr@whstancil He's just using their sort of logic back at them in a more literally accurate way to show how incorrect and insane they are. He's not advocating deporting "white" people, and has in fact stated many times that these racial labels are arbitrary.
@TrueSlazac In the US the white supremacists call this Great Replacement Theory, and they use it to justify doing murder sprees because they say it's in "self defense" when they walk into a grocery store and start shooting everyone.
Really sick.
@emptywheel Like, would usually feel empathy for someone who's been tricked, but I'm honestly not sure which group is more dangerous, the cons or the marks.
