The guy with the nazi tattoo on his chest turned out to be a POS? What? This has to be some sort of mistake. This seems so uncharacteristic. Sometimes, reality truly is stranger than fiction.

Also a big fuck you to everyone that defended him. We told you so. We told you so, and you didn’t listen. You people are so dense. Anyway, talk to you with the next obvious Obama/Letterman/Planter situation, where you’ll make the exact same fucking mistake, because this time it really is different.

I’m not saying they’re not socialists. I was just asking why rockslayer used the term radlib to refer to them. I don’t think they know what the term means.

Radlib is a term for someone who holds socially progressive views and adopts leftist and radical esthetics, but supports free market capitalism. The picture I have in my head is someone wearing a pussy hat and blue hair celebrating Meloni was elected because she’s a woman. Is this how you mean it?

EDIT: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/radlib If you disagree with me and have a wiktionary account, you might want to edit this page.

I think you have an oversized confidence in our international justice system. When the good guys commit genocide or war crimes, no one goes to the Hague. Cases in point: Indonesia (twice over), Guatemala, the war on “terror”.

Sounds like an attitude problem in the electorate. Do they want republicans to win? It is selfish to think that politicians should earn your vote. I mean, that’s some elementary school level conception of democracy. Grow up already.

Nothing ambiguous about it. Insert family guy skin color swatches meme. You might be looking for the term “hypocrisy” instead.

Any chance you could share which of his politics you find disagreeable? Is it his views on the genocide that pissrael is comitting in Palestine?

Bye!

I don’t understand how that’s a reply to what you replied to. Did you reply to the right comment?

Talk to me again when he runs in an election. I’ve seen liberals defend much worse.

Democrats could run a literal “I will shit in your mouth” platform and liberals will be on here defending them. I can’t figure out which one of stupidity, fear, or outright malice (I got mine) it is.

All good, that’s me all day everyday so I get it

Then why the snarky token/llm shit? I don’t burn forests to have fancy autocomplete write down thoughts for me, and I resent the accusation that I would do so.

Jesus christ, every time with this guy. Can you please try not to be so fucking obvious? The guardian is just as biased as MEE, the only difference is that their bias is in favor of Israel instead. You sound like a raging islamophobe btw.

It’s always been a label so subjective that it’s essentially meaningless. There’s a reason why most big name news cables have “don’t use the word terror or terrorist” in their style guides.

Any response to my comment? You asked, I answered. Are you still thinking about it?

What a cogent and convincing counterargument to the point I made. Well done!

The average person doesn’t have this symbol tattooed on their chest, and as such are less prone to learn about it. When you (a person who presumably doesn’t have a Totenkopf on their chest) see a Totenkopf in the countless media about WWII, or the are we the baddies meme, or whatever, it doesn’t stand out to you, and it isn’t memorable, and you forget, and you don’t learn about it. And that makes complete sense.

But if you have it tattooed on your chest, and it’s what you see every morning when you brush your teeth, you’re a bit more likely to go “wait a minute I know that” when a totenkopf appears on the screen. Maybe you’ll miss it the first couple times, but in 18 whole years of adult life with this thing on your chest, you will at some point make the connection between your tattoo and the symbol on David Mitchell’s cap.

Also, just as a meta argument: arguing that someone who knows what a Totenkopf is is a nazi but that having it tattooed on your chest is fine is completely fucking bizarre.

I’ll try to be very succinct in the argument I’d like for folks to address:

All we have to go on to believe he is a progressive is his word. We have not seen him act on those words in a smaller political context, to see that he not only talks the talk but walks the walk, like we for instance could with Mamdani, Tlaib, Sanders, Cortez, etc. Other than his word, which we had for Fetterman, Sinema, Obama, etc as well, what makes you believe this man actually believes what he says, and isn’t just paying lip service to get into the senate.

It was there in the comment I replied to as well, but maybe this rephrasing helps you out.

No no no you don’t understand, who hasn’t committed a little war crime and enjoyed it every now and then? And him calling the war criminals of fallujah “war heroes”, well that’s just freedom of speech; doesn’t get much more american than that! And sure, he wants to expand the navy, but that’s just so we can defend ourselves better in the middle east! And the nazi tattoo? Well come on now, boys will be boys ;)
