Leo Gura

He was a propagandist. That is not respectable. When a right-winger says "free speech", he means "free speech for me".

The military has to be conservative simply because it's hard to shoot someone in the face if you're a Lib.

Most of them are not developed enough to see that. It's blind patriotism.

With AI, car safety can become very high.

Of course a majority of them do. The military will always lean conservative.

If you take a long enough view, everything leads to good. Nuking Hishoshima turned out good in the long run.

Except cars are necessary and American gun culture is not. The rest of the world lives fine without owning 15 guns per household.

It is a well-known trope that right-wingers lack empathy, ridicule those who have empathy, and even demonize empathy. That is of course until they themselves get hurt. Right-wingers don't take liberal causes seriously until it personally hurts them. That is how selfishness works. It's not an issue until it touches me. Well, Charlie was touched. That is the tragedy of aggressive ignorance.

The fatal flaw of the fascist worldview is that it foolishly overlooks that the violence it glorifies will boomerang on the fascist.

It's fine to fight fascists, but killing civilians for their free speech is not that.

Shameful. Owen has really lost the plot. That's what pickup ideology does to the mind.

"I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage." "It's worth to have the cost of, unfortunately, some guns deaths each year so we can have the 2nd Amendment." -- Charlie Kirk

Killing him does nothing to reduce fascism. The opposite I would say. It makes him a martyr. This empowers the far right by making them feel like they stand for something noble.

Charlie Kirk was a vile propagandist. But even so, killing him is not right. This is bad for democracy.

No, this is false if you know political science. There are no far left parties in America. Americans who think Dems or progressives are far left have no understanding of political science or global political history. They are just consuming right wing news. No far left party has ever held office in America.

Far left, yes. Which is why I would not support a far left radical government. But there is no danger of that in American politics. America has no far left in office.

Please don't discuss that issue here. We have a thread for it in the Politics section. Violence does not serve truth.

Duplicate topic.

Yes. I am worried about what really matters, loss of American democracy to an authoritarian regime of rapists, crooks, lunatics, and numbskulls. You know how WW1 started?

I did that on purpose due to the danger of people getting seduced into false love. The symmetry becomes the trap. We need to emphasize truth because that's what keeps us out of self-deception. Then you can have real love. I am forcing you to eat your vegetables before you get dessert. Because I know the child wants dessert first. I've thought a lot about this issue. It's not just some bias I'm acting out unconsciously.

When tyranny and corruption hold power, political violence becomes the norm. This was expected. There is a reasonable chance Trump will be shot within the next few years because people will be furious over his corruption. Trump literally defends child rapists. You really think that won't have consequences? Fascists don't need to do assassinations when they hold power and intend to keep it by any means. When democracy ceases to work, violence becomes the only outlet. That is fascism in effect.

I didn't say that. God cares about LOVE, not human love. The issue is that humans have a corrupt notion of Love. Truth is necessary to reach true Love. All this was explained in the video.

Nope. I imagine him jerking off to it every night.

This is not good. The fascism is going to spiral now. This will give the fascists just the excuse they were looking for to go full authoritarian mode.

This show has gotten so bad. Should be called Alien: BS. EP6 is the worst.
