How about, instead of arguing definitions of words that are constantly misused by people who want liberalism to mean anything stretching from neoliberalism to communism (which is weird how you’d take conservative’s definition of liberal at face value), you talk about how much your individual ideas have ratcheted to the right instead? I’m also not the original person who blamed your position on your liberalism.
Insular, America-centric, “we must have the most firepower to protect us from the evil people”, is absolutely the rhetoric used by republicans in 2008. Maybe if you traveled back in time, you’d be voting for Mitt Romney regardless of how safe his dog was. It’s entirely a fear-based position to have, and that’s been the republican MO for a while. Our military industrial complex makes us less safe because it constantly creates situations that guarantees its own existence. Protecting your comfort through global threat of violence is a cowardly position to uphold.
Ah yes, if you’re the biggest and most violent bully in the school yard, you don’t have to worry about being beat up. Just say “they hate us for our freedom” in the mirror 3 times while ignoring any sort of actions we do as a country that might make other people or countries want to attack us. I swear, your exact message could’ve been said by the average republican in 2008.
It’s not like they’re arming queer people.
Yikes. I’d rather get arrested than hold that banner
And when you finally find some helpful forum with content from 15 years ago, you’ll have someone be like “GUYS I FIGURED IT OUT! Here’s a [broken] link to someone else who solved it” with a dozen or so “Thanks, that solved the issue immediately for me!” Comments after it.
I’m referring to Jimmy Carr who had articles written about how him saying the Roma people being killed in the holocaust was a good thing. But also, almost every time I have seen him in a show, he’s punching down towards the Roma people specifically.
Though, maybe he should be dialing back the “let’s murder all Roma people” jokes.
Gotta go buy some gender fluid to top off my continuously variable trans mission.
No second helpings until everyone has grabbed a plate policy.
You sound like a cop.
I mean, obviously it didn’t work for them since citizens weren’t able to stop it before other parts of the world started intervening. The world can’t feasibly intervene with the largest military on the world this time though. I mean, they could try, but it would be the end of all human life.
Go back to the trolly metaphor where you at least admit that you’re killing someone with your actions.
Just put on a red hat and you’ll be fine.
Or maybe Americans would be more successful than the Hotel Kaiserhof in Berlin was.
The whigs (conservative but more left relatively) and the democrats (conservative but more right relatively) back in the day were facing a similar moral issue. The whigs refused to answer the question of “what do we do about slavery” and a ton of whig and anti-slavery voters formed their own party (Lincoln’s republicans) because they didn’t want slavery anymore. This is how 3rd parties win- by another party dying. As far as I’m concerned, both republicans and democrats need to be replaced with something more representative, but if I were to make a guess, the Democratic Party will be the first to die.
What, are liberals not willing to fight (physically) to get their democracy back from a dictatorship?
Oh look, it’s another metaphor that ignores the fact that doing what we’re doing is actively harming other people (and comparing genocide to “eating cake”). You gave the gun Timmy was playing with to his brown friend and even disengaged the safety for him. And then you’re surprised when the little boy’s parents are upset you gave him the loaded gun. You’re right. This is a good metaphor for this situation we’re in.
God I love Derry Girls. It’s about time for a rewatch
