OBJECTION!

He pretty objectively is, yes. But that’s not because Ted Bundy wasn’t a monster, it’s because Joe Biden is.

How on earth could you possibly read that analogy as apologizing for Ted Bundy? Can you read?

I wrote about things he conceivably could’ve done differently. I also stated some possible reasons why he didn’t do those things. How is that a lie?

Because you completely ignored the stuff he actively did to make the problem worse. It’s like saying, like, “Sure, Ted Bundy could’ve been more supportive of women by donating or volunteering for various causes, but he was busy and short on cash. Sure, he could’ve done better.” It’s absolutely ridiculous. The lie is in the way you frame it. But Ted Bundy only killed 36 women while the weapons Joe Biden went out of his way to give to Israel have killed orders of magnitude more. So what you’re saying is even more absurd that that.

Absolutely inexcusable genocide apologia.

The Nazis would say it, sure. Would you agree with them? Because it sort of sounds like you’d agree with them.

First off, that’s a ridiculous assumption. Not everyone subscribes to your ideology of lesser evilism, and the vast majority of people who correctly reject that ideology are not accelerationists.

But secondly, just curious, if I was a German citizen who hated Nazi Germany and wanted it to fail, would that make me worse than the Nazis? The Nazis were just doing genocide, after all, but I committed what is apparently a far worse sin in your eyes, of insufficient patriotism.

You’re arbitrarily focusing on something Biden doesn’t control while intentionally ignoring the stuff he’s very clearly and intentionally done to materially support Israel. That’s obviously disingenuous. Suggesting that the problem is he just doesn’t have the power to do anything differently is a lie.

That is approval of weapons sales, not sending them more money.

And that matters why? We shouldn’t be giving them aid or selling them weapons?

In addition, Congress allocates funds to send to other countries and the President executes the orders he is given. Biden could’ve vetoed the aid bills I suppose

Biden literally bypassed congress to send more aid than what they had approved multiple times.

I hate the way liberals just shamelessly lie about this stuff, you don’t even have the excuse of the election anymore.

The US pulling out of the UN would allow them to pass all sorts of cool stuff, like recognizing and admitting Palestine and calling for a ceasefire, recognizing the universal rights of children, and condemning the far-right, all of which the US used its veto power to stop against overwhelming support on the other side.

Technicians that will probably demand a commission not a flat rate.

Never heard of anyone in that field doing this. If you walk into a computer repair place and say you need to recover data off a hard drive and they say they need to know how much the data’s worth before they can tell you the cost, you should probably just immediately walk out and go to a different store regardless because that’s probably a skeezy place.

That’s like saying that you can’t hold Hitler responsible for war crimes or you’re just absolving Goebbels. Bush, Cheney, and all the rest of them are all war criminals who deserve the most severe legal punishment there is.

Why are you doing Bush apologia? He’s the one who appointed all those evil men and let them do evil stuff, which he did because he’s evil.

I remember hoping that Obama would prosecute Bush for all of his crimes, in hindsight it was really naive.

This thread has made me realize that while I was watching the hearings on it purely for comedy aspect, there were actually people out there being like, “Yeah that makes sense.”

Love it when the government takes away our stuff. Please, take away more of our stuff. Love me that security theater.

If you don’t like the app, just don’t use it. Nationalism is a hell of a drug.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with data security and everything to do with other social media companies lobbying to eliminate a competitor, using anti-China sentiment and fear-mongering as a justification. It’s all about the money.

No can do. If I was going to do that, then I would’ve never left behind the things my parents tried to get me to believe, and I’d be a religious conservative. Why cope by pretending Kamala’s a Marxist when I could cope by pretending I’m going to live forever in eternal happiness after I die?

I chose to walk the path of truth and it’s often harsh and unpleasant but it’s the path I’ve chosen.

No, that’s just cope.

That’s like saying, “It’s fine to say that you just hate the government of Nazi Germany, but if that’s the only nation state you hate, it means you’re racist against Germans.” What?

I hate every apartheid state with equal intensity, however, since South Africa ended their system of apartheid, that just leaves Israel. I suppose if Israel’s system of apartheid was ended first and South Africa’s remained, it would mean I was racist against white people or something. Funny how who I’m “racist” towards is entirely dependant on who’s doing apartheid.

Sure. I hope you’re also against Palestinian nationalism then.

“If you’re opposed to minority rule, then I hope you’re also opposed to majority rule.” What? Simply give everyone in the region equal voting rights, as is their right as human beings, and the resulting state would be a Palestinian one.

Pretending doesn’t make it true.

If someone called him a Ricardian professor of economics and someone else was like, “Lol that’s not a thing” I’d say that the first person was more right than the second, with the same disclaimers I said in my comment.

Again, I think the whole issue is silly. Kamala is not her father. And I don’t see being a Marxist as being a bad thing. Considering how much the term gets slung around in US politics to people it doesn’t apply to at all, like Kamala Harris or Obama, I think it’s kind of silly to push back against it when it’s being used with someone who could credibly be called a Marxist. Especially when the much more clear and relevant line is that her father is irrelevant.
