    Counterpoint: Nuremburg 2.0 would certainly help me come together with the moderates to figuratively burn the fascists at the stake.

  • Whenever somebody says that everybody of a certain large group (such as all nationals of a country) wants something, they’re pretty much always shameless lying since they don’t actually know that and they KNOW that they don’t know that.

    To be able to say that truthfully they would need to have done some kind of survey (which is pretty much never the case: they just say this lie as a way to convince people that everybody else wants something so they should too) and there is pretty much no subject were everybody of a large enough group agrees (even for seemingly universal desires, like in “Americans want to live”, somebody somewhere disagrees, otherwise there would be no suicides).

    It’s a pretty big red flag when a politician lies like that as part of their way to convince people to agree with something, even one which one might at first thing is “on my side”.

    Yeah I’m hearing this from these neoliberal figures today. Really pisses me off. I don’t fucking want to come together with the goddamn deplorables who want me exterminated. There ain’t no common ground available. I want these Crooks locked away. I want their assets and their companies seized. I’m not even rulling out proscriptions at this point.

    The votes we cast yesterday weren’t about ending the fight. Those votes were about winning it.

      Something tells me these war mongering democrats never expected the results to turn out as they did, and now have to use excuses to wiggle out of responsibility people expect of them.

      Even from the framing of this, you can see they tailored these words so you can’t really criticize it without sounding like a crazy violent person.

      Then everyone becomes tired again, because there are no consequences for the Epstein class. And on the next run, they’ll blame everyone for not voting for them. The cycle keeps rolling.

      I hope people like sanders, mamdani, aoc, and el-sayed can break the cycle.

    I mean… I want both, but definitely nuremberg 2.0 as a very early priority. Unity isn’t even a blip on the horizon at this point. Unity isn’t valuable if we’re being unified with trash. Hold the Nazis accountable, disband institutions that spread their hatred like Fox, Meta, and megachurches.

    All those fuckers need to be appropriately sentenced for their treasonous behavior.

    From there, if we can somehow deprogram the hateful sentiment from the pawns, then, sure, reintegrate into society.

    Evil’s head needs to roll. Stupid I can forgive if the individual is willing to improve.
