Wrong. People who allow these desires to fester, or as you suggest, actively seek out fulfillment for them, is not good for anyone. It’s not good for the pedophiles, because it will increase the need for fulfilling their illegal desires, and it won’t help kids, obviously because it emboldens pedophiles.

Have you ever experienced something you like, and said to yourself: “definitely not doing more next time.”

He’s American, of course he dreams of murder.

They didn’t stop to think: what if people don’t want to vote for genocide? Oh well, we won’t give them that option because genocide is an American value. See: native Americans.

What speaks louder?

Actions or words?

Fuck Joe Biden and fuck Amerikkka. ✊🏼

Absolutely. I guess I just consider those things more in the realm of “hobby” rather than a job that might come to the union. No reason someone shouldn’t be able to make wood-whatever and sell it in their retirement. That was actually one of the things my dad argued, it’s sad to see someone work their whole lives to become a tradesman, only to have that same ability kneecapped because you’ve retired. And I agree. That’s why I also made point 3, because usually when things don’t make sense there’s a reason. Whether it’s a lack of information or just misinformation. We both had a lot of questions neither of us could answer, ya know?

Had to explain this to my dad when he told me about the carpenters unions not allowing his brother to work after he retired.

1: Unions are the democratization of workplaces; for better or for worse.

2: Should you really be working when you’re claiming retirement checks from your union?

3: People are often falsely confident on their views about things. People love to complain about the government while hardly understanding anything about it. The same happens everywhere, including unions. Just because some dude is miffed doesn’t mean they have any right to be. They can be misinformed.

I can tell you why I’m mad.

Because I want these atrocities to stop. And you know what I’m not given? That option. Trump has been a scourge to Palestinians and the Middle East as a whole, but Kamala Harris is spewing the same violent, bullshit rhetoric as the very man who was walked out on, that this thread is about.

Where is my option to vote for the end of this suffering?

And that’s just the topic of today. I could go on and on about how the the constitution allows for slavery as we speak, and it’s the reason we have so many prisoners per capita. Or how Hitler idolized America for its genocide of the native Americans and chattel slavery. Or how women were only allowed to have bank accounts in the last 50 years. Or the many, many governments we have overthrown or couped, only to install disgusting violent monsters who commit atrocity after atrocity. Or how we created ISIS and Al Quada. I could go on forever.

There are plenty of reasons to hate the US Government.

They’ll probably start calling grains of sand terrorists.

America doing ‘bad stuff’ is a comical understatement. Sure, the genocide of native Americans and chattel slavery is “bad”, but it is probably worse than general authoritarian actions. You seem to have them the other way around, or at least imply that.

Both suck. Both have superiority complexes. I have to deal with American superiority complexes, so that paints me as “pro China”.

I’m simply pro unity.

Nothing stupider than an American. Well, an American with a political agenda maybe.

So you’re making up things in your mind and then attributing those things to the commenter?

Your comment says far more about you than it does anyone else. You make ‘jumping to conslusions’ seem like a child’s game.

“… but but but, he told me to workout…. He can’t be a bad guy….”

I mean, that’s fair. I would just hate to see people seriously hurt themselves because they don’t have access to something. But that brings up a whole new conversation, and it’s just sad that we even have to consider this.

Another aspect that came to mind is: people hurting themselves and ‘putting stress’ on the hospitals. Obviously that’s pretty unrealistic, might be a point someone would argue though.

I also don’t have faith that people would do it properly. Chemicals are weird and not following instructions or not knowing what you’re doing can lead to disaster.

Welcome to the world where money has more power than laws and governments. It’ll all work out fine, I’m sure.

So by virtue of social media existing, it can’t be flawed? It can’t be broken? It can’t be harmful? It can’t be pushing racist and fascist ideology?

There’s a mountain of evidence showing the harms social media does, and you’re just acting like all that research doesn’t exist.

Plenty of good reasons to ban things, even if they’re useful. Asbestos. In fact, banning asbestos didn’t harm anyone, as your comment would imply. It actually helped people.

I see it more as, “we have to vote out Hitler! We’re keeping the concentration camps, but Hitler HAS TO GO!”

I also love Kamala’s “🥺we need to save abortion🥺”, when the democrat president she is vice to is doing nothing. If Biden can’t do anything, how can you?

And if Biden can do anything, he’s withholding that action for votes? Women are fucking dying and they’re using their lives as bargaining chips. Disgusting.

And don’t forget! You HAVE to vote for his party! Otherwise MY comfort might be at stake! I don’t want to hear about Palestinian children when gas costs $4.00! 😡🇺🇸🦅🫡💣
