It's amazing how lacking an understanding of materialism fails to hold powerful people accountable. Surely no theorists warned about conflating reduced harm with harm-reduction.

Politicians can just not harm. Them reducing the harm they do isn't a good thing.

Anyway, that was a fun thread.

I thank the man who stabbed me 7 times, because he could have stabbed me 8 theory-gary

You don't stick a knife in a man's back nine inches and then pull it out six inches and say you're making progress ... No matter how much respect, no matter how much recognition, whites show towards me, as far as I am concerned, as long as it is not shown to everyone of our people in this country, it doesn't exist for me.

Actually it's praxis, because Elmer Fudd is a fucking bloodmouth.

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

That's a good point then. Critical support to comrade Bugs in his half-hearted dedication to animal liberation.

Fun fact, Nimrod was a character in the Torah renowned for his hunting skill, so when Bugs Bunny referred to Elmer Fudd as a Nimrod it was an ironic reference. The American public didn't catch the allusion, and so instead it became synonymous with "idiot" or "oaf."

Anyway the anvil will just cause a five inch lump on his head that he'll hammer back in with his fist and'll be right as rain, doesn't even need a doctor visit, so no harm done in the first place, really.

Please tell me you are joking with the nimrod part guaido-despair

Genesis 10:9:

He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

Read it for a class in undergrad, saw the name, had questions. Got answers (the answers may not surprise you!)

Oh, I know bible stuff, I meant the other part, but yeah oh-shit

[-] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Oh, that part is also not a joke. Nimrod was a pretty common playground insult when I was a kid (probably less so now but idk what invectives kids these days have coined so maybe it's still around). Americans do not truck with their own holy texts unless they're passing them out on street corners.

I remember my mom scolding me for calling my brother nimrod because I didn't get the joke and thought it was just an insult.

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Bugs gave some pretty subtle roasts

[-] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

2020 presidential election was between two candidates who both advocated that protestors be shot in the legs

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

What a time to be alivewith a gaping leg wound and no healthcare.

[-] ElGosso@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Shame I missed that one

[-] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Could bugs bunny conjure a weight so heavy even he couldn't lift it?

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

He cut Florida off of the US. I never saw Goku do that.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, could really do without that level of ignorance displayed on my hexbear. That's the downside of not having downvotes, you're either wholly reliant on mods to filter the ignorance or you're left with individual users stuck trying to cap hegemonic sewage outlets with corks.
