Seriously, how the gently caress are you and Covok not freaking out over this poo poo? Their missle has a flight capacity of 7000 km. If they achieve a missile with a range of 10,000 km, New York is hosed

Legitimate question as I don't know much about missile defence, but wouldn't something launched from NK to NY get shot down either in the ocean or above a flyover state?

All violence is bad. Suffering is bad. Even the suffering of bad people is suffering.
Sometimes, a violent option will be the least bad option - e.g., when there's a concentration camp to be liberated. But "punching nazis" - even, right now, the handful of actual nazis - is nothing of the sorts. It's bad on every level. E.g., I'm sure it's strongly counter-productive: straight-forwardly playing into their narrative.

Nazi's don't get to pull a persecution narrative, we've spent almost a century learning this.

I actually think LBJ deserves more respect and should be decently high on the list, despite the crime that was the Vietnam war. The Civil Rights act and Great Society were landmark achievements even if he didn't achieve everything he wanted with the latter.

He was also just a very competent politician who knew how to get poo poo done.

He also whipped out his dong on the reg to intimidate people so I'd rather nobody follow his example

This is a ridiculous race to the bottom of who is the most pure person that has never hurt anybody ever while burning down anybody and everything in the name of absolute purity. Gleefully joining the right wing witch hunt that make McCarthy a friendly pat on the back.

What goddamn world are you living in where victims of sexual assault finally having the courage to come forward and change the conversation around the issue is equivalent to or worse than the communism witch hunt?

Humanity does poo poo things all the time and I sure as gently caress have. Given the absurdly low bar that has been set I have definitely intentionally or otherwise sexually assaulted and been sexually assaulted by both men and women. Its great all these people are coming forward and the conversation is happening but the disproportionate punishment is completely out of hand destroying who are otherwise good people who have done great things for the people on nothing but a thoughtless misstep or two. It's disproportionate to the point where its like smoking weed lands you in jail.

These good people are willing to make amends the best they can who are also the best people to push for improvements. But nah, lets burn everyone who ever looked sideways at anyone ever.

I am talking about the super low bar and the disproportionate response. A stupid thoughtless photo has the same weight as someone whose entire behaviour around women is to assault at first chance.

It’s purity test taken to the absolute extremes with equally absurd results. If your mindset is punish punish punish as the only path to absolution no matter the level of offence that’s hosed up.

if the gravity of your actions leaves a big enough impression that somebody (typically multiple somebodies here) still has to deal with it 10+ years later and you've just plum forgotten about it, as the situation has been with everyone getting crucified right now, chances are approaching 100% that you're firmly in the second category.

As long as we're dependant on a single planet, with the power to make that planet virtually unlivable for humanity, we're extremely vulnerable as a species.
