I’m probably just incredibly disillusioned and mad at the state of the world and the lack of nuance on the internet these days and taking it out on you. My apologies.

Story: Girlfriend cheats This guy: Maybe he deserved it
It sure feels like what you’re saying is that due process goes out the window for things you don’t like.
You know exactly as much as I do about this hypothetical situation. Girlfriend cheats. Guy breaks up. Girl calls cops. Guy gets guns confiscated. If your argument is nothing more than “Well maybe he deserved it” you’re an asshole.
I use my rifles for hunting. Some people like collecting and sport shooting. Some have theirs for self defense in higher crime areas because they can’t afford better. So yeah?
What a terribly privileged take. Not everyone can live up in that ivory tower with you.
Speak for yourself. God forbid men should have a hobby.

Thanks for that.

If you can’t make things perfect, you’re not allowed to make them better, either. It’s just one of the many attitudes that all but guarantees we’re going to keep slip-and-sliding to the right.

And Trump, obviously, stopped all the bombing. That’s why these people didn’t vote for Harris. Totally morally justified to cheer on a painful death-by-cancer.

Every. Single. Nation state. Commits war crimes. All of them. You (and a shit ton of other puritans) need to manage your risk model better. We need to do what we can in the face of injustice and electing warmongering Republicans into office ain’t that. We can’t negotiate with them. We would have been able to negotiate with a Harris administration.

Failed the purity test. Can’t make progress this time around folks, maybe next time we’ll find a pure enough movement.
(I didn’t see ANYTHING about Hands Off being pro-war or pro-Israel. But I guess not explicitly saying it’s ANTI those things, means they’re pro? Get the fuck outta here with your black and white thinking, asshole)
I do. It’s about dignity, respect, and our place in the universe. There’s only so much you can do in life. I just butchered a few more birds last weekend. You always do your best, it’s never easy, but if you want to eat meat as ethically as possible it’s best to do it yourself. Thank the animal. Give it dignity and respect in death.
