First time I read Lord of the Rings I believe I was 11. And I hated it. Because I was 11. Also I think it was just the first part, Fellowship . Thankfully I’ve read it maybe half a dozen times since then and I’ve loved it more and more each time and it’s been an entirely different book every single time.

Liberals listen the fuck up. You cannot nominate this man. You will lose. If you choose to do this you are choosing to lose. You can’t blame the voters you’re choosing to lose.

We need more guns to be able to defend ourselves against children with guns. Write your Congressman today.

Duh.

That’s a fair point. If we get to the point where people are literally being shoved into ovens yeah try to gum up the works from the inside. However before we get there I think you’re better off trying to stop them from the outside. Cuz you’ll notice Schindler being on the inside didn’t stop them from getting to the oven part. Nor did all the other cogs in the wheels stop them from getting to that point. In fact that wheel turned pretty fast. So I don’t know why we should keep the wheel turning.

That’s nice that they have that theory. The problem is there’s no evidence that’s ever worked. On the other hand the US military has helped to prop up and put in power multiple fascist regimes. So I’m not sure where they’re coming from with that one. Now if they were saying bomb them out of existence yeah that the US military is a great fucking source of information. So it seems to me that you should try that one.

First of all let’s go ahead and disabuse you of the notion that whistleblowing against corrupt corporations is the same as standing up to fascism. That’s an absurd comparison.

What more proof do I need than the entire history of fascism? Where are these examples of fascism being brought down by internal destruction? In the history of fascism if it’s not brought down by an external War then it lasts for decades. So I think the track record for your hypothesis is rather poor. Shouldn’t you be the one providing proof? Proving that resisting fascism from within works?

The sad truth is that during fascist regimes a lot of people work for the fascist because it’s easy. They’re just cogs in the wheel. And staying a cog helps the wheel turn.

The CIA isnt protecting you from fascism. They are directly responsible for its continued existence.

Yeah I’ve heard this said a lot but it just doesn’t line up with reality. The truth of the matter is people who stay in the fascist regimes tend to just perpetuate the fascist regimes. They keep the wheels moving. Even pretending that you’re helping, which statistically you’re not, is still keeping things running. Your presence is lending legitimacy and competency to an organization that without you would lack both. There’s got to be a line in the sand for people and frankly I think the line should be Nazis.

Also want to point out that the sycophants tend to actually gum up the works. They don’t know what they’re doing they do a bad job and thus it’s easier to fight against them. They’re easier to dismiss out of hand, and to invalidate everything they do due to their illegal appointments.

I wouldn’t go that far. The last two Democratic administrations expanded funding of ICE. Obama in particular expanded their powers. So while obviously yes they’re not totally responsible for this they do share in the responsibility of it. You shouldn’t give fascists building blocks, cuz they tend to build murder machines out of them.

It’d be very nice if they would, you know, take some responsibility by understanding it’s their job to fight against this and clean it up also. Instead of whatever Chuck Schumer is doing now.

Certainly is responsible for a lot of upholstery stains

It’s Merrick Garland’s fault. Also Joe Biden’s for nominating him though. Sure a few judges should be on that list as well.

Someone’s had Chicago style deep dish for the first time I see.

Except the red states are going to do what he says and the blue states are going to be invaded by national Guardsmen from the red States.

That’s like wearing sunscreen and then sitting under a UV lamp all day. It’s better obviously, but still not a great idea.

Some of the postings in this Community are starting to get absurd. I’m going to make one that says I love murder and I hate babies next.

I don’t know Vance probably doesn’t believe in divorce so I’m thinking he’ll just have her killed like he did Kirk. Allegedly.

The comic doesn’t say the event doesn’t have meaning its saying the start and finish ppint doesn’t have meaning. Which is exactly what you’re saying.

Well that’s just absurd. Liberals have always cared about economic policy. That’s what liberals have been from their beginning. The liberal Revolution was the capitalist Revolution and vice versa. They’re inherently linked. What you are spouting here is a myth that liberals tell themselves and others to try to justify them continuing the capitalist system even though it goes against everything else they claim to believe, and which they will always favor over those supposedly beliefs.

2017 I think.

Not that it was ever that stringent or widely enforced to begin with.
