That’s what I wanted to confirm. If that’s the bar we’re setting for accomplishments, my group’s blowing them out of the water.
Funny attempt though. I’m not sure how you expected the argument to go your way, when your own standards for accomplishment set a bar so low that almost every single person minimally involved in any activism is doing loads more than this bare minimum measure.
Considering the “no kings” folks were sponsored by the Walton family and purposely enforced a stance of silence on the Gaza genocide, this doesn’t even meet the threshold for bare minimum on human decency.
Cool, then Sieg Heil to you, mein guter Herr. Enjoy your moral superiority when ICE kicks in your door.
Yes, if you oppose ICE but not the genocide, I am morally superior to you. That is a factual statement.
Your conspiracism is silly but otherwise you're correct
What conspiracy?
"funded by the Waltons"
“Conspiracy” implies something hidden. The financial backers of this event were listed in plain English on their ads.
Yes, they seem to be attempting to avoid a MAGA boycott by saying this is a personal choice by the Walton heiress, which just coincidentally aligns with Walmart’s pushback attempts against cuts to social benefit programs that’s expected to impact their profits.
So YOUR ASSERTION is that all the ads say "No Kings Day, brought to you by WalMart!" but they're offended by ONE ad (in a publication that MAGA hates and would never pay to see) and that might possibly cost them the MAGA patronage?
Explain this. In detail. Fully.
I don’t know how to explain this in a way you’ll understand it. I don’t have any training in teaching the mentally challenged.
OR....
It is a contradiction that makes no fucking sense
Are struggling with bipolar or some other personality disorder? It’s one thing to not understand something. It’s quite another to be aggressively confused. This is not healthy.
Deflection will not work. You have been called out to BACK UP YOUR GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING CLAIM. Either do it or accept that you're a goddamn motherfucking lying sack of dog shit. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Christ. Maybe bpd.
I will give you the benefit of a doubt and assume that you did not see my request for proof if your claim because it went into the wrong thread. So: Proce.yoyr goddamn claim.
I have not seen this.
Then it must not exist!
Apparently it does not, in the context that you claim.
Prove it. Show me one of their ads for the event where you’re not seeing the sponsors listed.
