We broadly agree about .ml as a whole, but not on how you’re treating this individual. You don’t convince anyone of anything this way, it makes them identify more strongly with whatever you’re attacking. That, too, is part of how we got to this ruinous moment. Prejudice, in a word.

In any case, debating fascists has always been a bad idea. Fascists are not good faith participants in any debate, and their seat at the table only ever serves to normalise their twisted views, and spoil any chance at the healthy interplay of competing ideas.

Shitty way to act when someone drops a normal opinion. Don’t be tribalistic

Another skeleton in the closet

That’s magical

Assassination for thee but not for me

Weaponized tribalism

Well now… I still do think you can tell a lot about a person from how they speak of the dead, but under the circumstances this is a level of restraint I would struggle to achieve.

“Far left” is when “actually kind of try to govern”

• The Hill, apparently

Their voters are the former, the politicians are the latter. It’s a sick cycle of enabler abuse by authoritarian followers and cluster B sickos

Oh right, they only bring important matters to the American people. Like snowballs brought in during climate discussions, that was sufficiently important.

In the year of our lord sweet baby Jesus fucking Christ two thousand and twenty six, how is sport your biggest political concern?

Some Russians get it. Pussy Riot and Little Big shows that much. You always wish the people living under corrupt authoritarians were more rowdy, outspoken, proactive - but there’s no such thing as a morally superior hater.

Yeah let’s just judge entire people by their elected leaders. Let’s forget about Citizens United, the bullshit voting system, gerrymandering, voter suppression, foreign influence campaigns, corrupt primaries, and the death of the fairness doctrine. You can totally judge an entire people based on their president, that’s not childish at all.

Big fat /S for those who so clearly need everything spelled out

They know. It’s a communication issue here. I am certain.

Edit: I take it back, I don’t know if anyone has common grounds with you.
