@Greglovesgold@oooblahhh@BNONews One of them can be taken back at a moment's notice once the situation calms down - which in this case means Putin is stopped, somehow. The other... irrevocably ends millions of souls in a flash. At least try to conceive of that, please.
@jcrondog@BNONews This was a tweet about nuclear weapons. Your gas mask will instantly _become gas_ if a nuke hits near you - along with your body of course.
@richseng@MollyMcKew Yeah they gotta toe his line - as the other commenter said Putin is "capi di tutti capi". It's like saying the fact that Hitler betrayed his Nazi friend Röhm means that Hitler was anti-fascist.
@totally_canada @SpeaksAngie This seems like the people there call Trudeau a Nazi with their flags. Whatever you think of that... tenuous comparison, they are not waving Nazi flags themselves as self-identification.
@richseng@MollyMcKew Oligarchs are his best friends, Putin is *running* the theft of his nation. And still can't let go of fantasies of being a great power.
Ukraine voluntarily gave up its nuclear weapons in return for Russia “respecting the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine”. It is now on the verge of being invaded by the very country that persuaded it to do so https://t.co/b06CsvBYV4
Keep hearing of train burglaries in LA on the scanner so went to #LincolnHeights to see it all. And… there’s looted packages as far as the eye can see. Amazon packages, @UPS boxes, unused Covid tests, fishing lures, epi pens. Cargo containers left busted open on trains. @CBSLA
@chests @sweekbat Well, if you (in a large public forum) say or draw certain things related to Islam, your life is in danger. That doesn't mean Islam is evil. It means certain people are evil.
@_katherine_may_ All across Twitter links and screenshots from Holocaust museums etc posted with the assumption that others _don't_already know (and that learning would convince them that Carr is a racist) and in your comments people say everybody knows this and he shouldn't presume to educate...
@DAVIDRO92788937@JuliaHB1@jimmycarr Corbyn wasn't a comedian making jokes in whatever good or poor taste on a Netflix special, but a politician making sincere statements and trying to get to lead the entire country. Kind of a crucial difference, no?
@ShirleyKenyon2 @calnortonjr3 @JuliaHB1@jimmycarr With this backlash against Carr (whatever its merits in isolation or in contrast with other backlashes), clearly political correctness seems to apply here, too.
@elenacorinne @PetraGelbart If that was her intent, she still was wrong. Not deserving to be reprimanded or cancelled or whatever, but wrong. Nazis understood (and sadly I have to say: still understand) Jews as a race. Today's America's concept of race is not universal.
@BrexitBuster Yup, it's just you - who would think of putting _tax-dodging_ in an enumeration with racism and genocide. Had you put it last, I would have thought it an ironic punchline.
Seriously, people are debating whether he's a racist and you chime in with "oh and he also dodges taxes"? :D
@chests @sweekbat I mean that wouldn't be Islamophobia, just, you know, terroristphobia. (Isn't there usually taken great care to make that distinction?) Here in Copenhagen and over in Paris, people got shot over comedy, so there will be some dark jokes about that unfortunate reality now and then.
@Ron_Perlman_DDS Oh yeah I mean I wouldn't be sure about finding everything in other people as well, but either way that might still be a reasonable calculation for you to make, thanks for explaining.
