Trying to spread the idea that humans need to evolve beyond our current stage based on mutual exploitation and learn to again live on this planet sustainably and without coercion.

for people who might genuinely be afraid of the idea of homosexuality, maybe even struggling with their own sexuality
seems like autohomophobia would be the right word.
They’re extremely consistent in their actual reasons. It’s their stated reasons that vary depending on their political needs.
Can we make a “turducken”? How about a bezmuskoch?
Such a pathetic sad hateful stupid person he is.
He’s probably said both, or at least news stories coming out with both positions. I mean, you’re not expecting consistency and accuracy from your propaganda are you?
It’s not that he hates people, it’s that he’s a psychopath and sadist, like most other cops.
Well ya, that’s the standard explanation, and probably the most likely to be right.
I like to wonder if there might be other explanations, or even multiple explanations. You’ve heard I’m sure of the quote like “never attribute to malice which can be adequately explained by stupidity”? I have my own version of that that goes something like this:
Never attribute an act to stupidity when a clear pattern of malice is apparent.
Pretty sure I’ve seen this exact story about every 5 years for the last 20 years. It looks to me at this point like wealth apologism.
I’m not, it was an apparently bad joke in response to your joke implying I’m a murderer, after arbitrarily defining murder.
One perspective on this might be that Elon and friends have successfully identified a set of dubious advertisers and hate-tolerant userbase.
I used no uncommon or unaccepted definitions of any word.
Btw I have redefined not agreeing with me as murder so unless you want to be a murderer…
I’m sure you identify as a helicopter also.
Pretty decent. Chances are you will never be a slave
This is only maybe true (things are changing fast, and mostly for the worse), and only if you define slavery in the worst way, i.e. chattel.
and never meet one which is the only time in human history this has been true.
I’ve met people who have spent time in prison, given little option but to labor for pennies a day. Not hard to find at all. Slavery isn’t even forbidden in the U.S. Many others arguably fit the definition of wage slave. I myself feel compelled to sell my labor, what are my options?
Japanese interment camps. Your argument is defeated
Not sure exactly what you mean by this, but assuming you’re providing a counter example, a single instance of something doesn’t demonstrate that it is the only way a situation can play out.

Very well. So I assume you as an armed liberal will be going to that town and making a stand.
Well, I won’t be planning specific activities the authorities disagree with on Lemmy.
We solve society problems by society level solutions …
How’s that going for you?
Drone operators have homes and families and neighbors, some of whom could object to their behavior and take action to stop them from causing harm to others. If things ever got to this point in the U.S. the battlefield would not be neatly contained.
I’m glad they exist, I just wish self-defense wasn’t associated with right-wing idiots. ILiberals have been convinced that we’re civilized now and have no need for self-defense at the personal or community level. The state will protect us right?
This is a strategy question without a one-paragraph answer and a bit out of the scope of this post.
I’ve lived in close proximity to many unhoused people for years, not everyone that can’t afford to join the ridiculous housing or rental markets is struggling to get food in their mouth. I’ve known many personally, they’re not all starving maniacs like the stereotypes. Some have jobs and cell phones, many have belongings, things they’ve found, been given, or were gifted. Many are nice and happy to tell you their story in exchange for some respect.
In fact, my perhaps unorthodox opinion is that left should be uniting with this group rather than trying to convince well off liberals to resist vague threats of fascism.
You might be right, I’m skeptical as well that anything like this could actually be accomplished while minimizing corruption. There would be a different set of problems if done before the election.
The first casualty of war is truth. We can trust Hamas as much or more than we can trust Israel. I’m not an expert, but I’d imagine we could find 100 instances of misinformation from Israel for every 1 from Hamas just from how much each group puts out.
