What I find among the most fascinating cultural phenomena to observe is that people believe all sides are playing fair. Many, especially among the left or liberal spectrum, think that once they've just told the right argument or elaborated on the best point, alt-right figureheads will concede and see it their way.

While it's always good to be able to explain yourself, do you truly believe historical oppression and subjugation was honest?

Governments will call whatever you do equivalent to supporting a crime, make up reasons with tangential or invented evidence for why your persecution is actually justice. No, we're not oppressing the political opposition, the people who we are fighting against are actually “activist judges” and we are against them “abusing” our legal system. We are not against teachers with certain political and scientific beliefs, or of certain skin color, we are against “woke” and “DEI” teachers, and them having to do a PragerU purity test to see if they're woke is just to protect our kids. You wouldn't be grooming our kids, would you?

We're not oppressing protest against a genocide, you're just all in support of a terrorist group, and weirdly every activist group in the country can be labeled as terrorists by arbitrary standards. You didn't make a good point about our complicity in the largest humanitarian catastrophe of this century, your point is actually deeply rooted in antisemitism and I'll shift the discourse entirely there in order to not discuss whatever you're saying.

We are not skipping due process, we've just redefined immigrants as a “foreign invasion” and hence we don't need to tell you where we keep them, grant them the rights to call a lawyer, their family, or what flight they're in and to what country they're deported to.

I've actually constructed a fictional reality in which I'm always right, everything I do is synonymous with justice, and everyone in my way can be disappeared with falsified police logs stating they actually wanted to be deported.

You were never fighting a fair game, there was never a debate. Something needed to happen, and the arguments you're deconstructing are the best justification for that. They're not actually the reason, they're meant for the common masses to stay silent, to silence their inner voice which is telling them that everything is going deeply wrong, which it is.

Раунд

Подумал, подумал... ...и решил, к черту цветокор. Он здесь не нужен. Это 7500 Кельвинов и пошли в жопу те, кто говорят, что небо не бывает настолько синим. Надо чаще выходить на улицу потрогать траву и воду, посмотреть на закат и звезды и может быть даже потрогать небо😉

На улице с @olechka:
"Погода сегодня... как осень."

Я пробел в последней части не услышал и подумал, что "какосень" - это лучшее определение такого хренового лета. Минутка смеха и новый термин в словарь...
