You basically posted the same thing on the way in here. Why don’t you go back to Reddit? We don’t need any more unhinged violent tankies.
Thanks for taking time out of your day to comment, lol
Fucker obviously doesn’t have cats.
Cats are a good litmus test.
Arguing for the appropriation of billionaires’ assets is not violence.
But it hurts their feelings 😢
oh no! Anyway…
I think we need to show Musk how peaceful we’ve been and how far from harmless we are. Let’s give him a very personal, intimate lesson.
Man, what a fucking loser lmfao.
Someone should post that text to reddit, see what happens.
Also, if you didn’t already think there was going to be violence, now you should.
Fuckers like him give good edgelords like myself a bad rep. That’s a good quote, sucks that it came from such a dickhead.
He didn’t come up with it
that doesn’t surprise me
That Mangione fellow, what a peaceful guy.
That’s gotta be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.
Sorry, but I agree with this one. Not the “great” violence part, but yeah. If you are not capable of inflicting violence, you are not making a choice. You have no choice but to be harmless.
We used to say this a good bit in r/liberalgunowners, along the lines of, “I am a peaceful man, but that does not make me harmless.” You would have a hella time pushing me hard enough to draw, but I have the choice if it comes to that.
This notion is exactly why conservatives think they can run roughshod over us. They see us as harmless little twerps that couldn’t fight back if our life depended on it.
As a lefty gun owner, couldn’t agree more. Peace as a choice is only available to the folks who know how to do otherwise, and frankly even simple know-how isn’t enough. Pacifism is no virtue, peace is no natural state.
Nope, know-how don’t get it. Refurbed a sweet box knife for my wife today. She wants to carry it, “just in case”. If I were attacking her, I’d smack that thing across the room. She couldn’t possibly threaten anyone with it. (Not at 100lbs. she can’t.)
If you carry, knowing how your gun works is only step 1. To actually carry you have to be able to use it on reflex alone. Friends and neighbors, that takes shitloads of practice. I wouldn’t carry her gun, not familiar with the pistol itself, nor SA/DA pistols nor the safety. My Ruger 9mm and Colt .45 are less practical in ways, but I can operate them in my sleep and hit what I point at.
I get that and don’t disagree, it’s just the way it’s worded. Reads as if a 12 year old wrote it lol
Also the: ☝️🤓 Important distinction
You do get it! It’s the “great” part that screams elementary-school badass.
A more succinct way to put it: “I am a peaceful man. I am not harmless.”
And you’ll notice that real badasses are kind and patient. They know they can wreck your shit with their bare hands, got nothing to prove. LOL, I’m tiny, need an equalizer under my arm. But I never, ever, for ever never, talk shit.
Another thought along these lines; Carrying, let alone merely owning, a gun does not make one a badass, or even a threat. It’s kind of the opposite, in a weird way.
For example; My conceal carry instructor, MAGA 2A kinda dude, told it like this, “If you draw, you shoot to kill, because you’ve determined that whatever you’re trying to stop is worth 20-to-life in a concrete and steel cage, because that might be the outcome.” I’m much more careful where I go and what I do while carrying. Ironic, ain’t it?
The crux of fascism is making your base paranoid. Make them believe all their murder is done out of self defense. If they would not kill all those other people, others would kill them.
The perfect example is the paranoid ethnostate in the middle east.
The perfect example is the paranoid ethnostate in the middle east.
You say that, but are they wrong?
Of course they are wrong. Palestinians have offered time and time again to have a peaceful solution but the Israelis are violent Nazis. Israelis want to murder all Palestinians and steal their land (and even more for Greater Israel)
Replace the word Israeli with Nazi and the word Palestinian with Jews. Then you get:
“Are the Nazis wrong to be so paranoid to think they need to kill all the Jews or they will never be able to live in peace?”
If Israelis went back to their country of origin do you actually think Palestinians would follow them there to kill them instead of living peacefully on their own land?
That makes no sense. You can totally call yourself peaceful if you are peaceful.
Who doesn’t want to be harmless? Who would want to cause harm???
You’re just not alpha enough to understand. Real men beat their wives
Hey, I can beat my wife, sometimes. Like I have won many games of Catan over the years.
What a great fat wet lettuce of a human. He’s only capable of paying other people to do his dirty work.
No.
Elon’s mother stopped him having that cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg because of his bad back. That wasn’t his fault.
that is so much worse 😂
musk wouldnt win against an android that knows bjj anyways. and he had TRUMP shill in an infomercial for him because of teslas falling sales.
He can’t even play games of simulated violence without someone playing his character for him
when did Lemmy become the “I got banned from reddit” frontpage?
ffs people, STOP GOING THERE. Stop thinking about it. It’s a shithole url. Get over it.
This sub, the one you are currently participating in by commenting on it, is titled “Reddit”…
I’ll be a bit pedantic and say that this is a community not a subreddit, since we’re, y’know, not on reddit.
Oh I thought “sub” was like universal terminology like “sub-forum” or something. So to clarify “sub” here is “community”?
Yes.
Are you talking about this magazine?
deleted by creator
Does kbin even exist anymore?
It’s fine to still call it a sub. Everyone know what you mean. If anyone else really feels the need to be pedantic, it’s just not a “sub-reddit,” but you still “sub-scribe” to it, so…
Indeed, and the distraction from the point that someone was complaining about having to read about Reddit in a Reddit community was not worth the tangent.
yeah, and I’ll block it, but you do realize, people who aren’t subscribed still see trending on the front page right?
and I stick to my premise: you’re here, leave that shit behind. have better standards. encourage those other communities to migrate over if you must but dwelling on spez’s folly is just… bleh. no one should waste their time on it.
I really don’t understand your issue here. So should people not post their experiences and thoughts on social media?
It’s a dedicated community for it, it’s in the exact place it’s supposed to be in. I don’t see the point in restricting yourself because you don’t want it to be on the front page or what not
Besides, it’s still important to discuss the decline of a major user platform like reddit, especially since most of us here have personal experience with it, and likely have friends that use it
reality is becoming a meme at this rate
#stonerthoughts
This should show Americans how billionaires perceive “peaceful protests”.
We have to stop being surprised at this behavior and start expecting it and rejecting it, on sight.
