I was saying that if the left is broadly condoning the murder, then it might as well be the party that murdered Kirk.

This seems unrelated to what I was saying. You’re talking about what one should expect. Of course I expect political violence.

I’m not claiming that.

Does it even matter that/if this guy wasn’t a leftist? The left has been celebrating and condoning the murder – isn’t that what actually counts? (I say this as someone who’s mostly leftist, slightly liberal.)

Edit: to be clear, I’m not saying that condoning violence and committing violence are morally equal. I’m saying: we can’t simultaneously celebrate and condone the murder and also act like we have the high ground for for not being the party of political violence. That’s having the cake and eating it too.

I’m sure OOP works for big AI. /s

You sound like the people in my chemistry class who say things like “don’t describe subatomic particles as happy when they’re in low-energy states.”

I like jews. Free palestine.

Cute but this wouldn’t work for this obvious reason – conservatives would be like, “sure buddy. If you say so.”

OTOH, we made the rainbow work so… I guess?

God’s rainbow has 7 colors (ROY G BIV), the LGBT rainbow has 6. Guy doesn’t even know rainbows.

Well that’s why I said “instead we have, uh…” and a frowny face. It was sarcasm, but I guess it didn’t come through.

I still don’t get it. Who doesn’t have hitler symbols? Why is that relevant?

I don’t know what that slang means.

didn’t realize until just this moment that Rise Against ≠ Rage Against The Machine

Before those, in the 60’s there was CSNY, CCR, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Buffalo Springfield writing protest bangers.

Can’t really think of much for this generation unfortunately. Instead we have, uh… Ye. :(

OP wasn’t asking about classics, was asking about protest music

US Green Card

The image clearly says Extraordinary Ability Green Card (EB1-A). This is not a standard green card.

yes. Capitalism is the problem, not landlords per se. Under capitalism, I feel like it is more ethical to rent out a spare room in one’s house than it is to not rent it out.

oh that’s so sweet, you think i’m naïve <3

I said:

The problem is the market, IMO, if not capitalism entirely

but it seemed to me that you were disagreeing with my post when you said “the problem is making a profit off it.” I could have misunderstood, and you were agreeing?

…no, that’s just what I said is not the case. You must have misread?
