Remarkable that there were no typos in that post, despite being typed on a Smasnug phone

Should be a free fridge then.

I knew I should have added “Scientific consensus” because sure, if you follow the neighbour down the street into his or her conspiracy rabbit hole, you’ll end up believing that climate change is a hoax invented by “the Jews” to hide the “fact” that the earth is flat, and that we never went to the moon, and that Bush did 9/11.

If you don’t have knowledge, and don’t know where to start, then it’s not your place to convince someone else. All you can say is then “I don’t know either”, which is a full sentence.

I’m trying to better myself, and not assume so much about other people.

Thank you for writing that down, seems fair enough to me.

But like I said, legally.

Most people try to do it legally, if the option is there.

If they’re saying “No one else is telling you this”, they’re not an expert. But you’re right, it’s not easy.

I should’ve said “go where the consensus is”, especially if you don’t have any knowledge on this yourself.

Don’t think you know better than anyone else, because you heard one person say that things are different than what “tHe MaIn StReAm TeLlS yOu”

During the “Unite the Right” protest, they were loudly “disavowing” Richard Spencer, but at the same time clambering to get his autograph or a picture taken with him. I wouldn’t trust a denial from that side.

climate change: it’s bad / fuck it
trans ppl: they cool / they’re a perversion of gods design
God: idk whatever / The Christian God
guns: dangerous! Restrict! / I need guns
immigration: ok / not ok
women: human with all human rights especially reproductive rights / subhuman
state funded healthcare: yes plz / no tnx
public transport: love it / hate it
bikes: I am literally a bike / I literally just killed a bike

ding ding (ringing my bike bell)

Climate change- no opinion. It changes daily. Or I’m just too dumb to understand it.

Then listen to the experts, who all agree it’s 1) man made, and 2) going to make life difficult for us. And no it doesn’t change daily. That’s the weather, the weather changes daily, but the weather isn’t the climate. Climate change affects the weather, causing more extreme weather events, but it’s not the same.

Trans ppl- I am a Christian so naturally I don’t agree with it. BUT, I am not like the crazed lunatic Christians that will belittle them, berate them and talk down upon them. Or tell them they are a “perversion of Gods creation” or an abomination. They’re still human. I am human also. Who am I to judge?

You don’t agree with what? With who they are? How is that a thing to disagree on? Did you choose to be cis? Neither do they choose to be trans.
Listen to the experts.

God- I am a Christian. More specifically a Southern Baptist Christian. Like I said previously though, I like to think not like some of the crazed lunatic Christians out there. From an early age I was taught to love all walks of life. My church has a saying. Be it cliche or whatever. But the saying is this— “Hate the sin. Love the sinner.”

As long as you or your church aren’t advocating that we all have to follow your church’s doctrine, I have no issues with this.

Guns- Absolutely dangerous. I’m Pro-2A. There’s some unhinged ppl out there that just shouldn’t own firearms. Mental health evaluation and gun safety courses should be mandatory before being able to purchasing any firearm.

On this we agree.

Immigration- 1000% ok. But only when done through the proper and legal channels. My family immigrated to the US many years ago from Ireland so I cannot get on board with illegal immigration.

And how do you think the “proper and legal channels” should look like. Especially for people fleeing their homeland because of events happening there.

Women- Human, obviously. None of us would be here without them.

Sure, but do they have bodily autonomy? Can they choose to have an abortion? (see my point under the “god” section)

State funded healthcare- not educated enough on this matter to have an opinion.

Fair enough

Public transport- could work in larger cities/metro areas. But what about rural areas? How well would that work? Genuinely asking.

Buses and trains work long distance too. Would you like the option for people to go to the city from your rural town, even if they don’t own a car or if their car has broken down? A bus service could do that. Even if it only runs once per 2 hours or so.

Bikes(?)- motor or pedal? I don’t understand this one.

I think they’re talking about bike lanes.

It’s the starting sign for MAGA to start hunting people who they don’t like, which is pretty much everyone on the left from them. Stay safe! It’s going to be a hot autumn.

Israel (and most notably the Israeli company Moroccan Oil) is a big sponsor for the EBU, the organiser of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Only countries signed up with the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) can participate, and that’s not limited to European nations.

Oh wow, AVROTROS (the broadcaster) finally found a spine? Where was this last year after the incident with Joost Klein?

Maga doesn’t believe in freedom of speech for all, only freedom of speech for them.

Genocide supporter Jerry Seinfeld is a zionist asshole.

They’re dogwhistles for the 3%-ers and proud boys or however they call themselves these days to start hunting leftwingers.

Keep yourselves safe, people!

Fuck you… “Can’t we all just get along?” NO and it was people like Kirk that caused that. He hated people like me and my friends. Why should we on the left offer them the courtesy that they never offer to us?!

Whenever a leftist was a victim of violence they crowed victory and celebrated.

I’ve seen a lot of “Fascism comes from the left” comments everywhere today. It makes me wanna thanos snap people out of existence.

I find the demands from the far right to have empathy for Kirk so distasteful… I see them dive into their favourite victim role so quickly and all the woe is us and the “See, the left is dangerous” stupid rhetoric.

Kirk himself said that empathy was destroying the world, why do we need to feel empathy for that asshole now?! Like always the right only cares when it affects them…

I’m soooo tired about the nonsense from the far right.

This attack is only going to galvanize the far right, so I sure hope that the shooter turns out to be right wing. If he’s left wing, I fear for the lives of many of us. The nazis are trigger happy.

I feel sorry for his kids, but I feel nothing for Kirk himself.

I guess the Italian dockworkers will now prevent ships to Israel from leaving.
