  • Someone driving or operating machinery high is just as dangerous as someone driving drunk

    You have a source or anything to back this idea up?

    I delivered pizzas in downtown Seattle for a couple years, and most of my coworkers were constantly stoned. Many weren’t just hitting pens or joints, they would hit a fat dab with a torch lighter and then hop in their vehicle and make a delivery.

    Both years I worked there, our delivery team got an annual award for having 0 vehicle accidents.

    Obviously this is anecdotal, but if you run this same situation back with alcohol instead of weed, I am confident there would have been many accidents.









  • because they support the existence of Israel they have blood on their hands?

    Yes.

    If “Zionist” means anything at all, it means support for Israel as it currently exists. This means support for Jewish supremacy, support for bombing campaigns against civilians in multiple nations, and support for a literal ongoing genocide. Anyone who lends support to these evils has blood on their hands.

    You can try to move goalposts to say Zionist only means “israel has a right to exist”, but this is meaningless in context. I personally believe in a one-state solution where Palestinians have equal rights with Jews; a state where there is no apartheid, ethnic cleansing, nor aggression against neighboring countries. I would be fine with this hypothetical country keeping the name “Israel”. Does this make me a Zionist too? If so, the term is meaningless.

    I never mentioned their faith, why are you deciding what it is?

    You are right about this, I should have been more clear with my words. I was describing a hypothetical Christian Zionist, not your specific neighbor who might be Jewish, Muslim, or atheist. Whatever their faith may be, I condemn their Zionism.




  • It’s not wasted at all, this is textbook Shock Doctrine (Naomi Klein, 2007). This is Steve Bannons’s “flood the zone” strategy that Trump is currently following.

    The lies will be believed by dedicated Zionists. Paid Hasbara trolls will be repeating these lies forever.

    For most news consumers, the story will come across muddled, confused, and open to personal interpretation. From their low-information perspective, a conclusion of “both sides” seems reasonable.

    And for those who are paying attention and have a strong sense of morality, this will be one more battle we will have to repeatedly fight. We will have to expend time and energy to fight this lie, and it is just one of many.



  • I went through a medical bankruptcy at age 24, and I have never financially recovered. I have been bedridden twice in my life, and one of those times was due to gross medical negligence. So you’re right, I am desperate for a fleeting sense of power, and one of my goals is to radicalize people against the evil system we suffer under.

    Luigi Mangioni is a hero. Instilling fear into the billionaire class is a positive and noble thing, otherwise their power is completely unchecked.

    And if you can’t handle pushback, then I suggest you go find a comfy echo chamber, because this ain’t it.

    corner a pedo

    And since these are internet vigilante kids with no oversight, they will inevitably corner some non-pedos too.

    Put yourself in that situation- a couple teenagers with cameras approach you on the street and start accusing you of some of the sickest crimes imaginable. Even though the accusation is false, this has the potential to ruin your career, your relationships, your entire life.

    I’m not sure how anyone would respond, or should respond, but I can definitely see how people might resort to violence when falsely accused of this horrible shit on camera.
