This thread is about someone who was murdered over a rainbow flag and you’re talking about people being too rude online?? Please get some perspective.

Some right winger is upset and down voting y’all. So petty and weak of them.

Full plastic guns generally don’t last very long- but they have been proven to somewhat work since 2013. Now there are more stable designs that use off-the-shelf plumbing parts with plastic components. There are also designs that can be CNC’d with a cheap machine

And girlfreddy is a libtard.

Lol this reads like the white Christians who say they’re the most persecuted group in the country

I can think of another example of a Trump supporter murdered for their allegiance. Jeffrey Epstein lol.

“Can’t say they haven’t been.”

Actually I can. And I provided as much evidence as you did.

Perfectly said. I’m with you. I do think it’s a distinct possibility at some point but this news story is not a part of some inevitably imminent civil war. If nothing else, 99.9% of people are way too comfortable and lazy currently to even attempt to create that sort of chaos. Something to still be watchful about but nothing like some of the comments in this thread are saying.

I only say this because the sentiment that “there is no other way out of this but civil war” is not anywhere close to true, in my mind, and only serves to stop coherent discussion.

It is also not at all the appropriate response to hearing about an innocent person being killed. No sympathy or concern or even tact for the victim nor her community nor loved ones— Instead, fantasizing about even more of the same thing happening so you can mentally LARP as a hero. Even if you’re right, this is not the place to scream your violence-fantasy slogans.

Interesting that as communities become more radical and more specialized— Not that that’s always a bad thing; It’s probably a natural part of the memetic processes by which communities evolve— But it’s interesting that they also seem to become less and less empathetic at the same time.

Your tone in no way helps the conversation. Bye.

1. I don’t think they did.

2. They would have been correct as far as Germany not having a civil war. However, it was because too few opposed the Nazis, not because the country did not contain enough “psychopaths”.

These same people couldn’t go three weeks without a haircut in 2020. There are some who’ll shoot someone over a pride flag, but not enough to fight a war. They’d be begging to surrender the first time their grocery order doesn’t arrive.

if there’s a civil war that stupid, then the country deserves to end

Bring it on fate. You useless fucking concept developed by village shamans

I do really like Robert Evans, but this is something I wholeheartedly disagree with. Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo could definitely happen, but I think it’s far more likely that we’ll see an American version of The Troubles. I don’t think there are enough people who would truly be willing to fight and die over this; but there’s plenty of people willing to commit terrorist bombings or acts of sabotage if they think they can get away with it.

I haven’t listened to the podcast, so maybe I’m wrong… but isn’t the “it” in “it could happen here” referring to fascism, not a second civil war?

Pretty important distinction imo

The bar for starting a podcast is a 10 dollar headset.

The first civil war never ended. It entered a cold phasw for 150 years or so. That’s heating up now.

A viewpoint like that is very subject to confirmation bias. Literally any crime is held up as evidence that it is correct. Look at the terms you are using “cold” “about a decade”. It isn’t a who, what, where, why, and how. It is vague.

Reverse it for a moment. Treat it like a claim in science. What evidence would you use to try to prove your hypothesis wrong?

Good old homegrown god fearing terrorists.

You’re not a moderate if you support overthrowing the government. They can delude themselves, but they should absolutely be denied that label.

And those 74 million people are far-right extremists and in no way “Moderate.”

That’s the point. That’s the Overton Window.

It’s not their job to execute people. It’s their job to arrest them and provide evidence in a court of law to get them jail time. Even if it’s the perpetrator.

You should know it is a win. Justice is dealt swiftly, there’s no bullshit trials or wasting anyone’s time on this murdering asshole. Time or money.

Sure, he “suffers less” getting a quick death, but let’s price this out for fun. This is in CA, Jesus, those idiots spent on average $64K per inmate annually as of 2015. Let’s not forget we’re in the era of Magic Biden Bucks™; according to Google we have experienced roughly 26% inflation since 2015. That $64K becomes $80K. Averages are just that, average, let’s be very generous & assume this guy is nothing special. Costing the taxpayer $70K per year incarcerated. Nice, even numbers. :-)

That’s at least $700K per decade, not accounting for any future inflation. You want decades, so this revenge/justice venture will cost at minimum $1.4M. Versus 10 mins & $10 in bullets.

I don’t really seek vengeance in the form of life sentences. The end result is the same; death is death & he got his. Justice has been served accurately with zero delay, a modern day miracle.

From another article (The Sun is owned by Murdoch iirc), they suggested that the murderer did not want to get arrested and was aggressive. It’s sad that people get so hateful that they would rather die hating people than just going about life.

My cognitive dissonance is thinking both you and the guy you replied to are correct.
