Boomers in a nutshell, sacrificing their children to the cult of stupid greed.

“It’s torture that as her mom and as her family, we could not protect Renee,” the mother testified, clearly emotional. “But no one can protect against others who are determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.”

Cowardly bigot.

We vote differently, but we love each other deeply. I’m a registered Republican. I voted for President Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the United States — innocents like our family and the others here — against terrorists, certainly not to accuse those here of being terrorists and take precious lives.

Immigration is not a crime. You got exactly what you voted for, dumbass. They were always going to kill innocent people. They will continue killing innocent people.

After all, what punishment did her killer face?

The 37-year-old Good, not a target of ICE but rather an activist partially blocking a roadway in Minneapolis, was shot four times by Jonathan Ross, who has since transferred states and resumed his duties.

None at all, it’s a shameless terrorist organization. Abolish ICE.

detainee deaths are a regular fixture of immigration detention. For example, beginning in October 2023, there has been a death announced every month except for January (with two people dying in December 2023) during FY2024 (September 2023 to October 2024).

In the 500 days between President Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025 and June 4, 2026, 52 people died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in the United States. The mortality rate of deaths in ICE custody is at its highest level in over a decade and has more than doubled since Trump’s second term began. The rate is nearly four times that of the Biden administration, and more than two and a half times as high as that of the first Trump administration. The current trend-level rate is now even higher than during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Deaths inside of immigration detention centers are rising and now occur at a rate of roughly one every six days.

I’m not defending nazis you asshole.

Yes, you are.

I’m saying both sides are suck.

Which side is sending people to death camps without trial right now?

Trump’s hate speech and policies have killed countless people.

Have you noticed your sources tend to be “so-and-so apologizes, removes offending remark”? Do we get that same level of self-awareness from the right?

Did you even read that Reddit post?

Frequently in political discussions, someone will reject a criticism of republicans by saying that democrats aren’t perfect either. I agree they aren’t perfect and should be criticsed but they are a much less flawed choice for government for most people than republicans and it’s important to make this point. Pretending otherwise can be a lazy attempt at appearing mature by making a false equivalence between both sides or apathy that justifies not paying closer attention to politics because ‘they [politicians] are all the same’. This attitude led to Trump’s election because people thought both sides are the same (i.e. using private emails was equivalent to a decades long history of derogatory treatment of women because ‘they’re both awful’).

It’s critical of you.

Let’s check some comments:

The GOP actually executed a sophisticated funding project to capture state houses—and thus, redistricting authority—prior to the 2010 census redistricting. That action, by a major political party is an attempt to manipulate the ‘power’ of American citizens votes according to their party’s current interests. That is fundamentally undemocratic, full stop. This is not a case of one political party simply having the option to do a thing while the other did not.

There tend to be more indictments of federal officials under Republican administrations, and almost all of the major political scandals through the last several decades were executed under Republicans (Watergate, Iran-Contra, Iraq and Afghani wars). In fact, the only major scandal under a Democrat since Nixon was the Lewinsky scandal, which was widely considered to be political posturing by Republicans, which is why they lost Congressional seats in the 1998 midterm. This is a 40-year pattern.

It’s not that “Republicans unfairly criticized Obama for taking vacations and now Democrats are unfairly criticizing Trump for taking vacations.” It’s that Republican criticisms and Trump personally were objectively out of line and now Trump has taken more vacations than Obama after specifically criticizing Obama for that. AFAIK Obama hasn’t said a word about Trump’s vacations, and the elected officials in the Democratic Party are not harping on it nearly to the extent that Republicans did.

That the Senate in the Trump years would set out to upend the American health-care system largely in secret was a dramatic and genuinely shocking example of how the decay of norms is not an abstract problem. It threatens the most basic commitments of our democracy.

Stop defending nazis, dumb fuck. We see through your stupid bullshit.

This is an observation, not a threat: You are choosing death. It’s a death cult. If you don’t value life, keep it to yourself. Don’t take others down with you.

“Wahhh, Trump is being targeted.”

Wish they hadn’t missed. He’s a wannabe Hitler.

Fuck you and your false equivalences.

Nazis and genociders suck. Fuck you for defending them, stupid-ass nazi.

I was going to say something similar. I was raised southern baptist and can say with confidence that religion reinforces stupidity, greed, narcissism, racism, hate, etc. People disconnect from reality to the point that they think this is all part of god’s plan.

But I do think the rich deliberately use religion and other tools to convince people to act against their own best interests. If it wasn’t being artificially protected, it probably would have died out long ago. Superstition is killing us.

Can the idea that one side isn’t lying possibly penetrate your thick skull?

How did the conflict start?

Source?

You think we should do nothing while we are slaughtered? Have you actually thought about this at all?

Hypothetically, a person is coming to torture and kill your loved ones, then you. As long as they are alive, they will never stop trying. They’ve jammed communications, you can’t reach anyone else for help.

You’d stand there and watch everyone die while pretending to have the moral high ground?

We should Insist on universal human rights and the rights to be left alone to your own choices.

Right, so long as those choices aren’t causing needless harm.

No one really disagrees with that.

Uh, yes they do, and they’re actively killing us, hence the need for defense.

For example, I wish Kirk had stopped spreading hate while he was alive. But he didn’t. Now that he is dead, he can’t do that anymore. This is a good thing that potentially saved a lot of lives.

“Holy” is fake human bullshit. “War” is real human bullshit.

The figurehead of the authoritarian regime actively ruining all our lives and killing countless people?

Yeah, I think about that a lot, personally.

Yeah. I think I meant that I hate how many christians will apply the “no true scotsman” fallacy, pretending other interpretations are wrong and theirs is the right one when there is no right way to believe in something that doesn’t exist. Everyone has their own headcanon out of necessity because there is no way to verify the contradictory claims made about christ.

A Christian is, by definition, someone who believes in the divinity of Jesus Christ

I spent hours debating someone who could not acknowledge this. I kept trying to point out that the entire notion of christ is built on the idea that an abusive god demands blood sacrifice, and they kept insisting christians can believe whatever they want.

They said the christian bible is one of many different christian texts, which is true, but they refused to acknowledge that most christians find that text in particular very important. It’s why it’s known as “the christian bible,” and the best-selling book of all time.

They said not all christians believe Jesus is god, and they cited catholicism as an example, to which I brought up the Nicene creed and quotes from the pope. If one believes Jesus is christ, why would one reject what Jesus supposedly said about being the son and the father? What sense does a savior, messiah, christ make without the threat of punishment to save us from?

My position is that because there is no such thing as a real christ, there is no such thing as a real christian. Every one is a fake christian. They each interpret Jesus differently because no one today actually knows what he was like, and the accounts we have of his life contradict each other. The label has become so meaningless, I have no idea what someone actually believes when they say they are christian, but I know they are not thinking critically.

I think you’re right, though. I wouldn’t say a theist is a fake theist, I would say there’s no reason to believe in god. I guess I should take the same approach when it comes to christ. I just wish I could splash cold water on humanity’s face. Too many christians break out the “no true scotsman” fallacy when another christian disagrees with them or does something they don’t like, failing to recognize that their own baseless views can be just as harmful, failing to recognize that they’re normalizing the exact magical thinking they’re criticizing. I want humans to stop playing make-believe when our lives are at stake.

a real Christian

I wish this myth would die. There are no real christians. There is no real christ. The concept of christ is, “an abusive god sacrificed himself to save us from the violence he’ll inflict on us if we don’t submit completely to his vague and contradictory commands, which include owning slaves and selling women to their rapists.”

Accountability is impossible when we tolerate magical thinking. Innocent people are dying for it.

When they are an immediate threat to life. Ideally with no collateral damage.

Your turn. When’s a good time to kill civilians?

Idk about Texas specifically, but it seems there is a federal law, 18 U.S.C. § 597.

Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and

Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

https://law.justia.com/codes/us/title-18/part-i/chapter-29/sec-597/

It kind of fails to account for the idea that someone rich enough to buy votes might not mind a fine. “Cost of doing business.”
