Maybe. It seems like a bit of an overreaction to me, and I really don't like the idea that we can't say mean things about their god emperor because they'll get mad and be violent. Has Muslim and Mohammed vibes.
I don't like it either. But that's stocastic terrorism for you. It's anti-populist and anti-liberty by design.
Only solution is to police the fascists until they're more scared of you than you are of them. And that doesn't work if the cops are on the fascists' side.
No shortage of Christian terrorism. Just ask any abortion clinic nurse.
The clinic that did the selective termination that saved my twins' lives had to be so cloak and dagger about their stuff that we literally had no idea we were showing up to the termination until they're wheeling my wife back to surgery. It's one of the only clinics in the state that even does the procedure we needed to my knowledge. That's how many bomb threats, arson and assassination attempts they deal with.
Serious question, if you don't mind. How did a selective termination save twins' lives? Was your wife originally carrying triplets or quadruplets in a high-risk pregnancy? I'm entirely pro-choice, the wording is just a little odd and I'm having a hard time parsing the meaning.
Ah but it is the liberals who are fostering an environment of violence
Advocating shooting someone is just "mean things" now?
I understand the sentiment, but it doesn't all fall under the same umbrella. Saying he has small hands and advocating that someone shoot him dead are not the same thing.
I understand your sentiment as well, but it gets old seeing so much hand-wringing about advocating violence against a fascist who advocates violence while giving his violent followers a pass. "Oh, that's just how they are! We have to coddle them or they'll kill people! But you're terrible!"
Yeah, Trump was mid-speech "here's how we're going to deport every single just-minding-their-own-business brown family from our country" when he got shot, too.
Not that that was why he got shot, but it does make all the handwringing funnier.
Apparently turning his head to check his immigration notes saved his life. This is how we know there is no god.
I get that its a heavily inappropriate thing to say right now, but at the end of the day it's an edgy joke, and while ending the tour because of security concerns (and pr concerns) makes sense, cutting all professional ties with the guy seems a bit extreme, especially since he's already apologized
Having an effigy of a beheaded Trump is more of an edgy joke (Kathy Griffin in 2017). Wishing an assignation attempt that actually occurred to have been successful is a little different.
I'm talking about Kyle Gass here, was it him or Kathy Griffin that did the effigy? That's a lot more than making a joke about a possible president thats more than likely going to fuck up the entire world hadnt dodged a bullet, but again, if it wasnt, and were just talking about a joke, Once again its not inappropriate enough to end an entire lifetime relationship over, especially after he apologized and owned up to it being inappropriate
Did he actually end a relationship? Or just cancel the tour? I would argue that if he would have died and actually become a martyr it would be much worse. I also don't think of he does actually win the whole world is going to be f'd up. Thats mostly just rhetoric. Will he suck? Yup. Will he be there next putin that has unlimited terms? No chance.
If you think another Trump presidency isnt going to seriously have a negative effect on the world, I do not have the energy to engage with you on this
