💯

Thank you

Normally I might not care much “where a post should be,” but I said the post would get taken down quickly and it didn’t, so you want me to delete it and maybe move it over there?

Where at?

This was on the comics community on blahaj.zone

You say “stop escalating” but dwell on the “hostility” issue where you’re missing the point and not even mentioning the “spam” part

I no longer think the person I was replying to was being hostile, they commented in this thread already

I didn’t even notice the MANIC acronym in my own posts and thank you for pointing that out to me. That’s kinda funny. Make America Nazi In Continuance.

You have understood correctly.

I also read the rest of your comment and it made me feel a lot better, thank you. I apologize for lumping you in with vaguely “people” being hostile, you were clearly discussing in good faith. My only excuse is I guess downvotes/ban got to my head.

I don’t exactly see why.

Or, I don’t see how you know. You’re right, but maybe you’re just saying it because you don’t like seeing people stressed out or something. Maybe people should argue more

Retevis can have quality control issues but I think they try their best and give a fairer deal than others

• retard confusing “great” with “Nazi”

Evidence doesn’t suggest Digit is particularly tyrannical or a pedophile

She just has to get over it.

If everyone sits around fearing the authorities using force until the authorities use force, the authorities automatically use force on everyone and we are all dead or imprisoned before long.

The only way to function as an adult is to understand that they can’t get all of us without us helping them do it. We have to make using force as hard as sending men with guns and feeding us in a cage, not just saying scary stuff.

I don’t even get why pay artists for their work at times like this. Seems like that should be for times when there’s enough food for everyone.

Easy for me to say as someone with enough food to do art as a hobby, but still

Energy but what about trees?

Recycling plastic.

We should just not use plastic.

Recycling paper and metal is still ok afaik

Other healthcare CEOs count as “the general public”

But you definitely have valid grounds to consider it subjective. While I mentioned it for comparison, a jihad on the janitor in the world trade center is nothing like totally justifiably targeting Brian Thompson

So 9/11 wasn’t terrorism because people in the twin towers were responsible for many deaths?

I don’t see the point of trying to shift the goal posts. Everyone is responsible for many deaths, the question is whether you believe in the classical style of warfare where the losing side has survivors that surrender out of fear. The “anti terrorist” crowd believe that’s just inherently wrong, killing should be strategically designed to wipe out the people it could coerce. They believe nobody can use “intimidation” or “negotiation” when reason fails because it would be coercive. Nobody can live their life with zero connections to deadly violence, so trying to change minds by force is coercive. And they hate that, so they want a pejorative word for it, so they came up with calling it “terrorism.” I just think that doesn’t sound like such a bad thing, they’re just extremely sick and insane for thinking it’s better to wipe out all “enemies,” and pretending they can avoid “terrorism” themselves, while they actually do it constantly in the process of seemingly trying to wipe out enemies.

If you’re asking me to condemn whoever killed that healthcare CEO last year, the answer is [censored].

If you’re not asking me to condemn that person, you might be a terrorist like me, but not as used to thinking about that fact as I am.

Or anyone that knows what “terrorist” means

I think it would be highly insane to call me a fascist for recognizing myself as a terrorist

I’ve been identifying as a terrorist for years in preparation for this. I have less than zero emotional reaction to being called a terrorist because I already call myself one.

For example, when I promote fighting back against Nazis, the goal isn’t to silently wipe out every Nazi and have them surrender because they’ve all died without any fear. I think we should deal with it more like how we dealt with the German Nazis in World War 2, where they surrendered because they were scared, not because they all suddenly died without warning and there were none left.

I willingly make statements people are scared by, sometimes those statements even involve stuff like fighting against Nazis, and it’s not accidental, I am willingly happy to recognize a goal of scaring people instead of just making them stop moving, so how am I not a terrorist? What part of the word “terrorist” isn’t fit by this? It’s like 2+2=4

On 9/11, some Jihadists did terrorism where they killed a small portion of Americans to scare others into doing what they wanted, without killing every American that didn’t willingly agree to begin with

The US tried not to be terrorists in Iraq, we were just going to wipe out everyone that didn’t take our side, we weren’t going to leave any survivors agreeing out of fear. We were just going to have people who were on our side the whole time left alive, and everyone else dead. Then we found out we couldn’t do that, so all we could really do was terrorism where we scare people into doing what we want if they didn’t agree before, like the Jihadists that attacked us

I’ve never really tried to wipe out my enemies, I’m more like the Jihadists where even if a country attacks me and refuses to listen to reason, I’m fine with having attackers survive and stop attacking out of fear instead of being dead. This is simply understanding how the term “terrorist” is used and recognizing how it applies

I’m with the old school million year old school of thought called “terrorism” upheld by examples like FDR and Winston Churchill, where if you can’t reason with violent people, you still don’t necessarily have to kill them. Killing them can be considered a last resort. I’m not with the recently-dominant idea of “absolute brute forceism” or whatever the alternative to “terrorism” is (never really heard anyone establish that or clarify it)
