  • The main argument is that the means dictates the ends, so if we want a non violent (and non opressing) society, punching people won’t help.

    And this failed logic is exactly why we are where we at right now, on the brink of the Fourth Reich rising across the US and Europe.

    Because tolerant people have forgotten the most important thing about a tolerant society.

    That it must be rigorously and viciously defended from those who seek to exploit the social contract to elevate their attacks on it, and it requires far more than words and wind to achieve that… again, as evidence of where we are now as a society. Because their ultimate goal is to undo the society we love, and replace it with oppression, fear, and hatred.



  • I have had people tear my ass up on multiple occasions for trying to remind people that Liz Cheneys anti-trump performance does not, in fact, make her a good person.

    That she is still, at her core, a republican piece of shit… and her saying one thing that I agree with (That Trumps a threat) does not make her a good person.

    I am 100% not surprised that she secretly tried to protect one of Trumps biggest anchors on the supreme court, who is vital for their 2025 goals and seizing of power.

    Because she, like all republicans, are performative assholes who say whatever they think will get them more support and power.







  • Getting people to agree to a mistaken, misinformed premise does not mean you are right.

    Lest you also believe the world is a flat pancake and other various nuttery.

    Also, you clearly know what the difference is, since your list of examples is nothing but social media.

    Again. Stop trying to make everything social media. You have all the social media you need to fuel your need for attention, as is. You don’t need to make non-social media into more of it.


  • Engaging with people does not make it a social media platform.

    A bathroom wall covered in graffiti messages is not social media.

    an email is not social media.

    text messages are not social media.

    a brick with “Fuck You” written on it, thrown through a window, is not social media.

    A restaurant you go to with friends is not social media.

    A webforum is not social media.

    IMs are not social media.

    Just because you socialize on/in/at something, does not magically make it social media… Because Social Media is a very specific type of thing.

    Stop trying to make everything into freaking facebook.





  • I mean, even then, a cursory examination of the file, showing the child had been in the hospital for days, with daily scans, proving no fractures until like the 4th day or whatever it was, Should have been the immediate first step, and ended there.

    DCFS dropped the ball hard to terrorize a family and sexually traumatize the kids with their genital “inspections”. Especially with the fact that the file was fucking empty.

    Think about all the time, money, and effort wasted on this provably false from the get go accusation… Then think about how they don’t even give a fraction of this time and effort to kids in actual bad, abusive situations.
