Aside from the possibility of me being unclear, your extremely aggressive response is uncalled for. Furthermore, “everyone” is not evident given there’s a total of 3 votes on the post.

My intended point was it would be nice if people were better, and could admit fault. They can’t. That’s a common human behavior that’s infuriating. They’d rather double down. I was agreeing with you.

I’m not sure how you inferred from me lamenting that it’s impossible for people to simply grow up and admit fault, that I think that it is possible. You seem to have read my post… not even backwards, but just wrong.

I feel like my religious liberty isn’t respected. My religion considers capitalism to be a sin in line with theft. When you don’t give to the poor, you sin. Go on, Alito. Rule for my liberty.

It’s just rubs MAGA’s noses in the fact that they were wrong, which anyone who’s ever met knows will just make them double down.

This is true but man is it an infuriating property of humans. It’s a stupid emotional response because that’s easier. Just be mature enough to grow and change. It’s okay. Impossible request, I know.

Got a friend who lives out in woods that look (to my naive-about-nature eyes) like that. Seems nice. I send him pictures of cool stuff I find in the city. Some fun grass is greener times for all.

This one maybe ? https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Have to have severe penalties. It’s the only thing some people understand

Headlines starting with like “Trump explodes” give a hope that is immediately dashed upon finishing the sentence

Many people struggle with admitting they’re wrong, or their world view is flawed.

“While the Mayor’s plan has a number of positive elements, including some increased security funding for Jewish institutions and expanding proven programs, it fails to address a central issue that the mayor himself has perpetuated: rhetoric that demonizes and delegitimizes Israel inevitably leads to the targeting of Jewish New Yorkers,” the United Jewish Appeal Federation of New York, Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, American Jewish Committee and New York Board of Rabbis said in a joint statement on X.

But israel is bad and is not the whole of jewish identity. Fuck off.

Everything is projection. They have poor empathy, so when they try to imagine other people they just imagine themselves.

Time to link Ur-Fascism again: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascism

The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

How do people actually fall for this shit? How?!

Many people “Reason” emotionally. The words don’t matter so much as the feelings.

Yeah, fine. The preferences in order are

• they’re held accountable for what they’ve done in an open and public way
• they’re removed from power in some other way
• nothing happens to them

If I can’t get the first one, I’m not going to be too sad if Musk gets black bagged. It’s not ideal, but at least he can’t do any more harm.

I’m not that smart either, but if somehow I was in a position if executive power a lot of people would be criminally charged. Maybe even fucking disappeared.

I don’t really care that much about decorum. I want to break the spine of the rich. Put the billionaires in some fucking cells.

Retire. Don’t like my job. Tech is circling the drain.

Other people posted some details but essentially if you’re not an idiot you can park that in safe investments and live a happy life.

I get so frustrated when I read about people who like win a few million, blow it on like stupid cars and houses, and end up poor again. Just don’t do that.

I would make cautious alliance with someone if that was their principle.

The Republicans cause more abortions because they don’t do anything to fix the problem sooner. No sex Ed. No contraception. Nothing to allow labor to have stable home lives with financial security. Voting Republican to minimize abortion is counter productive.

All of these anti vax people have blood on their hands. So do the capitalist ghouls that profit from platforming them.

Yeah. I wouldn’t bring it up as a non sequitur but it’s pretty important.
