Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union
lol they’re leftists now? Mao is leftist?? North Korea is leftist??? Are you high?
Feet first into a wood chipper is still a higher bar. Is your argument that your rhetoric is brand new? Because, people insulting others for political party is older than dirt
You can go on every major social media and find worse than that, in massive numbers, unprompted
Feet first in a woodchipper and free helicopter rides is a pretty high bar.
the last two hundred years had leftist groups produce death tolls in the hundreds of millions
...when?
It isn't a no true Scotsman
It is. You have a group (people who have been 'conscious' the last decade or two), and declared that if I have xy belief then I cannot possibly be part of that group in good faith. It's literally no true Scotsman.
Now this is a logical fallacy, i.e. a strawman argument.
It's kind of what's implied by your comment. You brush conservative comments that talk about killing people off as "spicy takes," but the point of the thread is admonishing liberals who call for conservatives to be killed. What's the difference?
“ nobody who has been conscious for the last decade or two would ever claim what you just did.”
No true Scotsman.
So, when you do it, it’s spicy takes, but when liberals do it, it should be taken seriously. That doesn’t really add up.
In what way? Like, exactly the way that u/SuurSuomi39_II suggested leftists call for conservatives?
Mmm, "randomness" definitely wasn't the point. Yes, the multiverse events were the driver of the plot, but that wasn't the point of the movie. It centered around relationships and choice.
Was there emotional connection between the characters? I suppose, once you get past them blaming each other for all of their problems, and seeing all of the realities where they're better off if they'd never gotten together.
I'm wondering if you even took in the dialogue or you watched it while scrolling your phone. There was far more to it than this, especially considering the different realities.
I think you're confusing silly with random. Yes, it was silly, but there was leadup to that, particularly in the display of the trophy early on which was a knock on auditors.
The bagel, I'll give you as a bit too much, and a bit of a blow, but the movie isn't about the silliness. It's about the emotional connection of the characters, which I found to be well done
I mean, the randomness wasn't for random's sake. It wasn't like a "holds up spork" shit at the wall willy nilly. There was purpose behind most of the "random" bits, if not for meaning then for at least setup/punchline.
I'm not sure what was obnoxious about either the protag or the antag. They were pretty standard.
This isn't really a great argument considering the winners for best actress over the past few years: Michelle Yeoh at age 60 in 2022, Jessica Chastain at age 43 in 2021, Frances McDormand at age 62 in 2020, Renée Zellweger at 49 in 2019
How about most tech companies this days hire diversity that leads to crap that almost kills smaller companies.
Are you referring to something specific? I don't know how to respond to this because it's pretty vague.
You're pulling out these stories that, while indicative of a poorly run company, really only come down to your word. Fact is there's not a whole lot of information that actually supports what you're saying, so forgive me for not taking the anecdotes as super important news.
At this point I just assume you are an emotional driven woman.
Yeah, a lot of people like to go and make assumptions about the other person they're commenting with to justify whatever it is they're hearing. Happy to prove you wrong though so you can come correct.
I don't think it's at all unreasonable to allow employees to make mistakes (provided they learn from them) and to give them a voice. Unless the training is also telling workers to not afford the same courtesy to white employees, I don't see an issue.
See this just means you are not discussing in good fate
This is exactly how my first job ran, with my team of white males (and one middle eastern male who was an above average performer). We were given a long training regime and then our own projects where we largely looked after ourselves. Each of us made mistakes, as any new employee would. Nobody was ever reprimanded for it, if anything everyone came down and talked about their first time crashing one of the machines or busting the spindle or whatever. It's how people learn.
Yes, I believe that sort of training should be pretty normal. I don't think it's racist unless the training was "only allow black people to make mistakes. If white people make mistakes then punish them."
No, I do not.
No. I'm saying that fascism and genocide are inherently anti leftist. Leftists are constantly embracing diversity and are forcing DEI hires and allowing for religious expression. Most of the figures you named before are in part defined by their oppression of specific groups of people.
Of course! I agree 100%. This should be obvious.
This sort of political spectrum is not linear. Left wing extremists can become totalitarian, as can right wing extremists. Right wing extremists can become anarchists, as can left wing extremists. These sorts of beliefs are not mutually exclusive. There is, in fact, the need to include the social, economic, etc right/left beliefs.
By saying "leftists," you're including anyone on the political left, which is largely anti-conflict/war, so there is a major discrepancy between the terminology and the reality.
I was on leftist sites, and it certainly wasn't crickets. He was shot and killed. People talked about it as a great argument for gun control, because people, in general, don't really like violence.
I agree, the US justice system is poorly run and needs reform. Did you know that in the US roughly 1/4 of prisoners are jailed without trial?
There's an interesting article I found about prisons in general. It's a long read but I thought it was interesting!

My argument is that pathetic internet mudslinging is not "invented" by leftists as if it's some mastermind plan, as if conservatives don't also have their pockets of extreme rhetoric calling for violence.
And that's just what they are, pockets. This is a pocket here and I have been on this site and sites like it for years. I see the shit that gets said here and it's heinous, and also gets cheered for. I saw the same sort of comments about Hillary, Obama, Biden, and more.
"But it's different," you might say, for this that or the other. They deserve it because xyz, or they started it. Nobody started it. It's been going on for centuries. It continues to bleed into political parties as they evolve over the course of time. It was just like this 10 years ago, 20 years ago, and beyond. THe only difference is now it's so easy to be aware of it, and obviously you're going to be outraged when the other side does it.
I recognize the "kill all men" rhetoric but I also have talked to women who say that and I don't actually get any heat at all. I've engaged with conversation with people on here and they'll literally tell me to kill myself when I say something even slightly against the grain.
I don't recall an instance where windows were smashed in by leftists to get into the capitol, but feel free to correct me.
I'm not trying to waste your time. I'm being 100% genuine with you. Don't mistake me disagreeing with you as trolling.
