  • Yea I agree with squid that we should not consider the soup kitchen the place of liberation.

    I would say as a guy who has dressed in colorful formal attire when I worked in corporate jobs that you don’t get punished. This meme is like when conservatives say “you can’t say anything anymore”. Obviously you can, and frankly most of the backlash is made up.







  • I mean I do agree with the points that it would be torture for Trump to have to choose between being the focus of a witch hunt or the pitiful disgraced president who only was saved by the kindness of his opponent. When I heard Biden is “throwing down the gauntlet” to debate Trump again, I let out the biggest groan. If I were him I wouldn’t give Trump a platform to look like an equal. I know it feels good to want to beat the living shit out of Trump, but I understand from a political perspective that it might not be the best strategy to win in 2024. I liked it better when Biden was acting senile and not childish.

    After that it’s hard not to see the negative consequences of pardoning Trump. There should be a message to other politicians that we are not afraid to send you to jail.









  • Exactly. Historically the left cancel culture has been in the private sector, which is protected. A company can fire you for saying racist shit, and you can be shunned by your community as they are individuals exercising their right to shun.

    Right wing cancel culture exists in Congress and local governments, where they pass laws to silence teachers, make it illegal for trans people to exist, and send the national guard to beat up protesters.

    This is an instance where a left wing group may experience the other side of the former.

    Edit:

    It seems I didn’t communicate my idea clearly and people think the exact opposite of what I meant. I meant left wing folks tend to cancel people through social means, like when no one wants to see a film with Kevin Spacey, whereas the right wing folks cancel people legally, like how you can’t be a communist in office or it’s illegal for an atheist to hold office in 7 states.

    My last statement is how students having trouble getting a job is part of a “social canceling”.

    I was super confused as to why I was getting down voted since I was trying to agree with what was being said and add to the conversation.





  • Right? Like we all saw that Iran was going to for tat, and their attack was pretty much neutralized. At this point Israel is just accelerating the conflict.

    I don’t want to believe our media is biased either, but like let’s take a moment and remember that we’ve been told the reason Iran and the Taliban hate us is because we have and love freedom. Like seriously, take a moment if you were alive and conscious in 2003 and what messaging we got then. It’s so stupid.
