- Comment on How do I feel comfortable/safe going outside by myself after being so used to have parent(s) be with me outside most of my life? 6 days ago:
It helps to think of getting sick as the price you pay for boosting your immune system.
- Comment on If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle? 2 weeks ago:
It also won’t prevent you from collecting a gang and bullying people.
- Comment on If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle? 2 weeks ago:
So nothing then. If you want something then you take it, if you are more powerful. That sounds problematic.
- Comment on Xmas at the mega church 4 weeks ago:
Who said anything about a cult? Sounds like you got a few assumptions that you should reevaluate.

Let’s see if the coffee shops lower prices again.

Nothing actually happened. It’s like the jd Vance couch thing.

What was the racism part?
- Comment on Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad? 3 months ago:
Everyone (pretty much) agrees that fascism is bad, but Antifa is a movement that means more than anti fascism. Antifa is branding or marketing in the same way that the anti defamation league is, or like the patriot act put a certain spin on a bill that stripped privacy rights from citizens. Groups use branding to gain power and aren’t all encompassing as to their motives or actions. In the case of antifa it’s less of an actual organization and more of a rallying cry that gets used for a wide variety of people with different motives, and it’s detractors point to a wide variety of actions or intents (real or imagined) when criticizing it.

Do you or do you not think it’s ok to kill people who express opinions that you strongly disagree with? Because i don’t. And if you do, then you have to allow for the possibility that they will also kill you for your opinion. It’s a zero sum game, and any society like that will inevitably fail.

Lucky for you I’m not like you then, with how you feel about murdering other people for their opinions.
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
I can’t believe I’m discussing whether or not it is wrong to kill someone for the crimes they may or may not ever commit…
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
Should his (possibly) millions of his supporters also die? Should they preemptively start killing people they view as threats to them? You know, since some people are saying that they should die for their opinions… you see how this goes? It’s not hard to see how a zero sum game ends without any winners. That’s why you have to compromise by at least not killing each other.

If you don’t acknowledge the difference between war and murdering someone in cold blood without warning, then there isn’t any point continuing this conversation. Also I hope for your sake that you don’t cross paths with anyone who thinks like you do, but has different opinions.

Those aren’t about murdering fellow citizens because of what they say.

Nuremberg was after the holocaust. You can’t just skip over the fact that Charlie Kirk has not instigated a holocaust, nor can you assume that he would have. That’s not even a logical fallacy, it’s simply not even true. Accusing me of a logical fallacy is rich in irony. Seriously, it’s so dumb I don’t even know what to say.
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
Oof. I’d say it’s too soon, but that’s clearly not the case on lemmy… But also yes that’s a fair question.
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
Accountability? You mean murdering people you disagree with? Explain again to me how free speech is the seed of… authoritarianism? That’s some crazy mental gymnastics. And what laws did Charlie Kirk break?
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
Yeah well that’s a better example than the American revolution anyway, but I guess I view revolution against government as being a little different than murder of a citizen exercising their right to free speech. The French revolution also was fighting to establish a democracy, wherein people could freely exchange ideas and contribute to the shape of government. Democracy doesn’t work if people murder each other instead of discussing things and using your vote to shape government. Violence must be prohibited and overwhelmingly condemned or it devolves into a zero sum game. This isn’t a victory for the left, this is a loss for society, further degradation of our republic.

They fought a war against an opposing army, not by assassinating people exercising their right to discuss opinions and ideas. In fact they fought FOR the right to have opinions and ideas and to express them. They thought it was so important to protect that right, that they put it into the bill of rights, which specifically states that the right to free speech transcends government. The government that they wanted could only exist if people could freely exchange ideas without fear of being murdered (or imprisoned) for them. That’s why its a particularly bad example.
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
No your example is just really really bad
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
You don’t get to just kill people that you suspect are evil. This isn’t some complicated ethical dilemma.
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
Since you brought it up, do you have any numbers to support that?
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
The irony of using the American revolution to justify murdering people for speaking their opinion…
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
The law protects free speech, which is the cornerstone of democracy. Answering free speech with violence is the opposite of democracy. Any society based on our allowing murdering people that you disagree with is doomed to fail.
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
Ideological assassinations are a huge step in the wrong direction. Once you open the door to violence in place of speech and exchange of ideas, it’s a bad place. Everyone should condemn this. Do you honestly believe it’s a good idea to start killing people? Who is next? It’s not always going to be people you disagree with, and ANY murders need to be condemned.
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
Not from murdering people who speak their opinions.
- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
You don’t have to like him, but jeez people in here are messed up. I’m a little surprised that so many people are celebrating an ideological assassination. Democracy literally cannot survive if opinions are punishable by death, and that alone should be soundly condemned.

You can’t murder your way into democracy.
