People who do this sort of thing are rarely rational. You don’t usually get to the point where you’re attacking a political figure in an extremely public way by thinking things through. Dude was probably off his rocker.

This guy is wearing so much plot armor fr.

In a democracy, voters are responsible for who gets elected.

They spent billions of dollars trying to convince voters not to vote for the guy who would enact it. All the people had to do was vote, and they wouldn’t do it. This is not on them, it’s on America.

I hate Illinois nazis

I never understood why he would say that to begin with. It’s not like his brand of comedy was ever particularly edgy. Obviously the “people are too sensitive these days” thing is stupid, but it felt extra strange coming from him.

I didn’t say anything about communists. I said I missed being able to interact with people who shared my hobbies. I just want to grill talk about cartoons and video games.

Also, I was sold on Lemmy because they told me it was an user owned alternative to reddit, which was going tits up at the time. “It’s a communist website.” Is not what they told me to get me over here.

Absolutely. There’s just fuck all to do here. I used reddit for fan communities a lot, and most of them stayed behind. (Unless you’re a trekkie I guess. Then you’re set.)

He’ll always be an incel in spirit

Don’t bring my favorite song into this.

The sign on the right goes hard.

Ten thousand premeditated murders via deliberate inaction is not balanced out by a million visas granted. The severity of the crime gives it more weight. A life extinguished does not equal a life improved somewhat.

He also ignored the AIDS epidemic on purpose, leaving thousands to die simply because he didn’t like gay people.

I don’t want a gun inside my anus. That sounds dangerous.

Only now? She’s already said that the only thing Hitler did wrong was expand outside Germany. They not only kept her after that but defended her, accusing critics of taking her words out of context. (The context does not actually help her in the slightest) Why is her doing the exact same thing she always does suddenly a problem?

Every word in that headline is objectively true. What on earth are you talking about?

For real though, why do bigots even like X-Men? It’s not even remotely subtle.

Yeah, I was fine. Mostly. Probably. I just thought it would be a funny concept to have a character like that who’s dark and brooding exclusively when he’s on the job, and is friendly to just about everyone the rest of the time.

When I was a younger I made up a dark type gym leader OC who’s thing is he acts like an edgelord when he’s on the clock but is otherwise pretty chill when he punches out. I always thought it was a pretty funny concept that I’d love to see in a game. So that’s me.

We don’t “force” them to do it. This is repeatedly established to be something they enjoy doing. BW even has this as a plot point: N, a young man who is somehow able to understand Pokémon, is initially of the same point of view as you. To his astonishment, most Pokémon outright refuse to abandon their trainers. At first he chalks this up to some form of brainwashing, but over the course of the game he comes to realize that their desires to train and become stronger are in fact genuine. He ultimately decides it isn’t right for him to decide what they want for them, and spends the sequel targeting abusive trainers exclusively as opposed to tearing down the institution of Pokémon training in it’s entirety. >!There’s also some stuff about a bigger big bad grooming him to be the face of Team Plasma while he controls the group from the shadows, complete with strongly implied child abuse. Oh, and the reason the bigger bad wants to “liberate” Pokémon to begin with is so that no trainer can oppose his own team when he goes for world domination. You know, typical RPG stuff!<
