Ugh, I probably have it purchased thru my school. I forgot to check link to make sure it was free access. I’ll delete. Sorry!

Fuck yeah! Sign me up!

Lemmy hates to admit it, but Lemmy is more Libertarian that Democrat. From the article:

Koch arrived here, in small part, via a San Francisco-based nonprofit called the Seasteading Institute, which promotes “living on environmentally restorative floating islands with some degree of political autonomy.” The vision, as the Institute’s president, the “seavangelist” Joe Quirk, once told Guernica, is “startup societies where people could form whatever kind of community they wanted” — a libertarian-inflected world where, it is said, you could “vote with your boat,” relocating to a community in line with your views.

Sounds familiar? Because that’s what Lemmy is all about too.

I like the way your dad thought. I’ve always held the same suspicions he had thought. These companies aren’t married to oil, they’re married to profit. Makes sense.

felonious dictators

I don’t do any of those things. And neither did the victim in the article. So no clue what you are talking about.

Ok. Here: Don’t commit crimes or associate with gang members in a country you are a guest of. That way ya don’t have to worry as much about getting deported.

Do you direct your outrage at other countries that routinely deport people, or just the U.S.? Because the U.S. actually has more generous immigration laws than a lot of countries around the world. So is it the act of deportation you’re upset about—or just when the U.S. does it?

None of that bothers me. I’m not a victim of any of that. Did you write to the author of the article?

Fixed now. Thank you!

I’ve never thought I was a victim. Because I’m not a victim.

I think the bad thing was done to good people. And others do as well. You cool with people just robbing whoever you deem as “bad?”

So if someone had the opinion that you are bad, you think it’s ok to get robbed?

Because I think you’re bad people by posting what you just posted. Does that make it ok if you get robbed?

I don’t think it’s ok for anyone to get robbed, regardless of if they are good or bad. Robbing is wrong.

I can choose for myself. You can choose for yourself. We cannot choose for other people.

Correct. And those people can choose for themselves, just like you and I do. So you can’t blame me or some article writer for what other people think. They can think for themselves without you having to hold their hand and shelter them from bad things.

The commonality is one person’s actions negatively affecting other people.

Except you can choose not to be a sheep and blindly let a internet headline make your choices for you. LMAO

Seeing a fucking headline online and being shot in the foot are two different things. Again, if you are week enough to make your choices based on random headlines without doing your own research, that’s on you.

Maybe people should toughen up and not be sheeple. :)

Hey, if you change your world outlook because of a headline, that’s on you. Seems weak to me. I like to think for myself. But you do you.

LMAO

The point is China is the victim

Good luck with that! lmao

You seem to really love china. lmao

I know you want them!

Was it worthwhile to fuck up the economy for it?

Yep!

Dude, I’m not really here to have a historical debate on DEI. Nothing I say is gonna change your mind. You think all conservatives are against equality, I have said they are not. Just a quick search shows information that backs BOTH of our responses, so this debate is pointless.

Just a quick search at fox news shows:

Democrats have lost their way on women’s sports | Fox News March 18, 2025 — Their alarmist strategy opposing a straightforward bill to define female athletes for the purpose of enforcing equal opportunity under Title IX …

FaviconFox News CHRISTOPHER RUFO: The campaign for colorblind equality just … January 20, 2025 — The polling data indicated that Americans supported a “colorblind society” over a "race-

Not to mention major republicans have shown it: Ken Mehlman, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, has been a prominent advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. He lobbied Republican legislators to support same-sex marriage and argued that such support aligns with conservative principles of individual freedom and limited government.

Not to mention all the black republicans and black republican supporters. Gay republican and gay republican supporters. Minority republicans and minority republican supporters.

And I know you can find just as many articles that show they don’t.

But the mere fact that there are plenty of examples to prove both of our points shows that not ALL republicans are againts DEI. I’m republican and I am not against DEI.

Move on. This argument will go nowhere.

I also know that if a republican left a fucking brick, with nazi symbols and words on it, on a car in a Jewish neighborhood, Lemmy would call that person a Nazi. You know this too.

I’m saying that anyone, regardless of party, who leaves a fucking brick, with nazi symbols and words on it, on a car in a Jewish neighborhood, is a Nazi.

Move on. I’m not changing my mind. Neither are you.

I know. :)
