Some people will complain they’re catching flak for doing the right thing. That’s why nobody does it etc.

But that’s the point. If you’re really honest with yourself you take your licks and own up for what you did wrong. People are gonna give you a hard time for it.

The alternative is not doing it.

They hate it because the corpos aren’t bending the knee ENOUGH to dear leader

Know how everyone hates lawyers because they basically manipulate the meaning of the rules to serve themselves? It’s like that.

If you’re an absolute killer at the kind of rules and admin of debate, you can rack up points with nonsense and keep your opponent from doing the same.

It’s an insanely stupid use of people’s time

If you are in debate club and the goal is “win debate”, fine tactic.

If you are doing basically anything else?

Wtf happened to this guy? I’ll admit I didn’t follow him closely but wasn’t he vaguely progressive and had common sense? I know he had a stroke but does stroking out make you start acting like a total asshole?

“Hey, I’d really like to afford a house and a family some day while staying in the city I grew up in and live”

“Fucking radicals”

Honestly at this point I’m just a fan of anyone who isn’t a yellow bellied coward to this administration

It honestly doesn’t matter. Did or didn’t, left right, or corkscrew. If we knew definitively now factually 100% he can conclusively be put into 1 bucket. The facts don’t matter to them. The truth is already in.

To be on their side, you “know” the “truth”.

And if you don’t “know” the “truth”, than by gee you seem awfully suspicious mr…

There’s people out there who genuinely only think it’s ok to call something fascism or genocide retrospectively when it’s achieved its goals.

We can’t call it fascism yet because they aren’t literally killing gay people in camps yet.

They won’t believe it because it isn’t an exact parallel replica of Nazi Germany because obviously. Everything is different, were 100 years in the future, it’s a different country.

It’s illegal to extrapolate what’s going on and draw obvious parallels unless literally the exact same thing happens the same way.

Please, if you believe otherwise tell me I’m wrong

I play space truck sim. Sometimes you just wanna chill and press clunky buttons. Do some really low stakes slow shit. I’m old though.

Why quotes?

Hey, Britain sucks ass for sure compared to parts of the EU but it’s still lightyears ahead of America so maybe sort your own shit out. People in glass houses and that

I was attempting to be exceedingly, exceedingly generous. To disguise the fact that it’s quite apparent why this one matters more to these ghouls

Any rationale for why this one journalists death warrants civil war when the deaths of so many others don’t seem to matter or nah?

I really hope this is a fucking joke

Maybe so but that’s of very little value to me.

Nobody knows, but it’s provocative.

His assumption seems to be that there must be other reasons or that that reason is somehow not valid enough though.

Why would you need a reason other than privacy? Or for that matter any reason you want or nobe at all.

We sort of know how it works, you don’t need to explain it. People in other countries have education about the civics of many nations, and obviously most of us pay attention to US politics. Go ahead and assume we know the basics of what is happening.
