READING COMPREHENSION IS HARD

It really speaks to the quality of arms control in the last 20 years when we've been dunking on people for over a decade largely unimpeded in dozens of countries and hardly anybody has had the means to actually shoot one of those fuckers down. Unlike I guess in the 80s when we were giving out Stingers like candy.

Whereas people who joke about running over protestors might not actually go out and kill people on the roadway, but it's def a thing that happens, and they're totally cool with it irl. Which means it's not actually a joke.

Yup. And they vote for people who openly try, and often succeed, to legalize this.

Its like trolling: You can troll, but honestly most people who troll probably genuinely believe what they are saying deep down.

Well sure, but I'm talking about the prolific use of UCAVs. They haven't been a thing for *that* long.

Arc Light posted:

Yeah, like, people who joke about guillotines don't actually build them and use them, nor have they been used within multiple generations. And, generally speaking, those same people tend to be against capital punishment irl.

I'm against capital punishment but I'm willing to flex on my beliefs in certain situations. Like with billionaires and guillotines.

A federal prosecutor blamed the new DA for being soft on crime or some poo poo but it turns out the guy was a snitch who had been given a reduced sentence by prosecutors.

I’m sat in my kitchen with my boyfriend, we were just reading about Trump and Greenland.. this resulted in us sitting there not saying anything for 5 minutes. I mean, what the gently caress do you say, it’s so stupid I’d write it off as a crap comic book story from the 90s.

To be clear. They get poo poo on because they're voting red in TYOOL 2019 and directly electing officials who are propping up the above billionaire class, not because they're poor/rural.

i get it, but these people didn't spring up from the ground to torment us, they've been betrayed by liberals and abusively miseducated by our hosed up culture. as an american i feel responsible for other americans, including ones that disgust me.

let me put it this way: the only purpose talking poo poo about them serves is making ourselves feel better by getting anger out. i don't criticize people for doing that, and i have done it myself, but we all grew up in a classist society and we all have stored away in our minds the classist insults we can use to spice up what we say about the people we hate for loving up our country, and i've seen them used plenty on SA.

the same is true for race and gender and i bet some other poo poo i forgot. it's a sickness we all have.

Jumping back to last page since I'm late to the party, but the other posters hit it. I'm not actually building guillotines, I don't own guns, I'm against capital punishment, and I'd rather walk away from a confrontation than get in a fistfight. I'm using speech as an outlet for my feelings of frustration and helplessness in the face of an unstoppable machine.

Also as a reminder, in a lot of "Trump Country" most of the people didn't vote. So being cranky at everyone in a whole region for maybe 20% of the population is probably a bit misplaced. There's exceptions to that, but in most of the country it's more likely that more people who could vote didn't than voted for either candidate.
