Anyone complaining about this because flag on cliff knows nothing of climbing history in Yosemite. Flags have been flown by people climbing el cap for a long time.

Ammon McNeely was a genuine legend of Yosemite and big wall climbing in general. He was known as the el cap pirate for flying a skull and cross bones as he climbed. One example.

So if this uniquely upsets you then ask yourself why. Admit it’s probably a bigoted response. If this does not uniquely upset you… Then you better be making arguments against climbing el cap at all as it has been climbed for decades. And I better see you getting just as pissed in the comment section of any climbing blog.

Damn I hope United health care CEO Andrew Witty is fine and a second shooting doesn’t happen to him. It would be so sad. So sad.

Well we agree at last!

I was mocking the words Yoon said himself that blamed the communists for having to do this. So I suppose pertinent if you want to take what he says at face value and believe he did this because of the commies pillaging the happiness of the south. I wouldn’t believe him if I where you but you do what you like.

Since I do not believe him and instead believe that he is lying and wants to maintain power for himself the conditions in North Korea do not actually pertain to whether or not Yoon’s declaration of martial law has merit.

It’s bad to declare martial law. It’s funny to blame your fascistic actions on commies. It’s weird to insist that we have to talk about North Korea before we can say Yoon is being ridiculous.

I agree that the ROK and DPRK are largely incomparable.

Do you agree that Yoon is ridiculous for blaming commies in the north or do you think that actually is relevant to his reasoning?

Well if you’re still paying attention it doesn’t seem so over yet what with the attempted arrest of political opposition. We’ll see how it plays out. Hopefully peacefully.

South Korea are the bad guys. Well not THE bad guys. Just some bad guys. Like their government is famously corrupt and rather recently a dictatorship as well. North Korea martial law is also bad but not directly pertinent to this news story. Odd that whenever something bad happen in the south you feel you must jump up and shout that the north is worse.

I didn’t say north Korea was good but ok.

I was making fun of Yoon’s reasoning here where he literally blamed communists for pillaging happiness from the south. I guess that’s not allowed without also condemning north Korea?

Yup the south is totally a democracy guys. It’s those northern communists that are pillaging out happiness. Pay no mind to the capitalist hellscape it’s actually communisms fault. Oh you don’t agree we’ll time to declare martial law. Democratically

I’d go to Russia to if my government was threatening to kill me or lock me up forever.

Why? Don’t think people who’d be considered tankies and recognized Biden as being being genocidal generally thought trump was better. I mean some Americans probably because Americans are politically illiterate and trump sometimes says he’ll do peace so doubtlessly some believed him. But I don’t think people saying genocide joe are surprised

If we lived in a just country she would.

A great point. Republicans will never vote to remove the EC unless it hurts them and theoretically this could.

Screw Republicans by voting literally whoever besides trump and Harris in Cali

only if you’re in a swing state. In which case vote tactically. If you’re not in a swing state do not vote trump and do not vote Harris. Instead vote third party there to maybe get a 5% national representation and therefore get more funding for em.

Voting tactics woo.

It doesn’t really matter what you imagine. It’s worked before and I bet it’ll work again. And even if it doesn’t and Israel is entirely independent from the US and totally needs nothing from us… Why is that a reason to supply them. Great they don’t need our shit let’s stop giving it to em.

Hold less sway with an ally… What good is that sway of we can’t stop a genocide with it? Or really slow it down even a pinch? I’d rather people doing genocide don’t like us actually… They’re evil.

I’m pretty confused. Can you read? Antioutsideaktion is saying the Dems are currently in power… I’m sure he knows Biden is president right now. That’s why the question asked was how can you cast the Democrats as having no power? Because they have power now.

Obviously I love books and complaining about not enough books. But actually who cares. This is badass. Every bullet point cooler than the last. A kitchen? A workshop?? A shower and wash room?!

Actually excellent. Congrats to your wife’s hard work!

And we ALL know even when the Democrats start another genocide you’ll find a reason to vote for them.

These are all true. He’s truly awful. Greedy and not much else drives him

I am absolutely convinced genocide is bad you got me there. I actually can vote and did (mail your ballot folks) but you got me on the teen stuff. 19. Maybe I’ll learn something in a few months when I’m 20.

Not my fault that you’re explanations explain nothing. But we can agree that’s it’s largely pointless to argue.

It’s not bad faith to not enjoy genocide. I would never argue that in bad faith because I actually believe genocide is bad.

I guess voting in an election is technically interfering in it but odd way to put that.

They do nothing to earn their support of votes. Nothing.

I’ve been seeing it lots lately that party’s don’t have to earn votes but I guess it’s just Dems who are owed them?

Nothing but empty promises and demands that will be laughed out of offices.

Oh ya dude the Dems and Republicans loveee fulfilling campaign promises! That’s why we have healthcare, loan forgiveness, legal weed, the abolition of the death penalty…

But it sure looks good to people ignorant enough to not bother to understand how politics work in the real world.

Ah that’s what I was forgetting. In the real world only bad things can happen. It is foolish to believe anything good could occur. Ignorant me.

Change doesn’t happen just because you want it badly enough.

Than why vote for Kamala or Trump? We’re told Harris wants to end the genocide despite all evidence and that we must vote for her… And yet it seems to be simply based on the power of belief that she will do good things. Kamala isn’t going to stop the slaughter just because you want her to. Ditto for trump. His followers beliefs are all that keep him afloat despite him doing Jack shit.
