“I tried to find a way through this that was going to be able to have this happen non-violently,” Kim told NJ.com.

I don’t think ICE is going to go away without violence.

Conservatives are the stupidest people on earth. They shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions on their own or operate heavy machinery.

I didn’t follow this case closely

“She has crazy viewpoints, conspiratorial viewpoints that are not accurate, not true. But that is not a crime in our country or in our state,” Polis said, adding that Peters apologized and “I think as a state, we need to move past this.”

Moving past shit like this is how we got into this hole in the first place!

We should have hanged every confederate, not just “moved past”.

That’s a good speech. I really hope the republican party and its ideals die out, but I don’t think it’s going to go peacefully.

What a piece of shit. I hope he lives the rest of his miserable days poor and forgotten.

It wasn’t “brain washing”! They believed in naziism just like magas do. Stop denying their agency. They picked it. You all picked it.

Good. Great, even. Fuck these rich asshole climate criminals.

They won’t.

Many of them are stupid. Many are poorly informed.

But many of them are operating with stupid axioms. They would rather suffer and die personally if it meant those people got it worse.

If you offered free health care, guns, and hamburgers to everyone but it meant that black people got it too, a lot of Americans would say no

The Confederacy should have been burned to the ground, its leaders and supporters hanged and their bodies left to rot in the sun.

Fucking idiots can’t see the whole picture. Don’t understand economies of scale.

From what I’ve been reading about it in “dying of whiteness” it’s not that they don’t understand. They understand. Conservatives just don’t want the outgroups (eg: black people) to benefit. That’s it. They’d rather die themselves.

Unfortunately there is a large contingent of people who would literally rather die than have their out-group have something nice like public transit. (It’s conservative whites)

I started reading “dying of whiteness” and it’s infuriating

They just want their team to win, even if it means they personally suffer.

It’s just a tribal thing for a lot of people. They’d die personally if it means the out-group suffers more.

I vote in every election. New York has ranked choice for some things now, which is nice. The way judges are picked is pretty bad, though.

Someone in another thread recommended the book “dying of whiteness” and it’s absolutely horrifying. We all know conservatives vote against their self interests. Well, they know too. Many of them know. They’re happy to die for their beliefs if it means no {slur} gets anything nice.

They’re bad people and too many folks are pretending they’re not.

What I was trying to get at is something can be worthwhile even if you don’t personally enjoy it.

Conservatism, probably. The whole in-group supremacy thing is pretty bad.

I think a lot about how “good” and “fun” are two different things.

You can have a game that’s a fascinating exploration of a theme that really unifies mechanics and story, but is an absolute downer of misery to play.

You can also have a game that’s a glorified slot machine with bugs, no real player input, and abusive monetization, but people’s brains light up playing it.

There’s some subjectivity of course, but sometimes I see games that are good at what they’re trying to be, but I don’t have any fun with them. Some people seem to demand those overlap all the time.

Meanwhile, the sheep and the goats part just gets ignored

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

I’m sure they’ll do some backflips to say “the brothers only mean people I like”, but then there’s the “who is my neighbor?” part.

29 But wanting to vindicate himself, he said to Yeshua, “Then who is my neighbor?”

30 Yeshua replied, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He was attacked by robbers, who stripped him and beat him. Then they left, abandoning him as half dead. 31 And by chance, a kohen was going down that road; but when he saw the man, he passed by on the opposite side. 32 Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side. 33 But a Samaritan who was traveling came upon him; and when he noticed the man, he felt compassion. 34 He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine. Then setting him on his own animal, he brought him to a lodge for travelers and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[b] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him. And whatever else you spend, upon my return I will repay you myself.’ 36 Which of these three seems to you a neighbor to the one attacked by robbers?”

37 And he said, “The one who showed mercy to him.”

Then Yeshua said to him, “Go, and you do the same.”

But they’re not sincere, so the text doesn’t matter.

Fuck is with these conservative losers jumping on the kings dick like pathetic fangirls?

The only thing driving conservatives is “in-group good, out-group bad”. There is no internal consistency beyond that. They’re the worst sort of people.
