Totally fair and reasonable
Most of us don’t read classics anymore. I always hated Moby Dick; it sucks so bad.
I know what little I know from watching nature documentaries and I think it’s the same with other Americans. Most of us never get to see an actual whale in our lives, let alone eat any.
Here’s the problem: everyone is fundamentally misinterpreting free speech. It doesn’t mean what people think it does: it’s not about stopping government oppression, it’s about enforcing fundamental respect for human beings, which means hate speech is banned regardless – because bigotry and hate speech by its nature censors other human beings, because it creates an environment where people are discredited and shunned by their peers for stupid reasons, denying them their right to be respected and heard. Hate speech isn’t speech, it’s censorship, and needs to be treated as a censoring act and not as speech since it’s not speech, it’s an action done with intent.
When people adopt that definition of free speech, we can go back to having our cake and eating it too and we’ll start to get back on the right path.
Huh. I must confess, as a American I know all of jack and shit about whaling and such given we don’t eat whale like that over here. Not even our ruling class eats whale.
…What does whale taste like?
I’m gonna throw this out there: if we’re gonna have freedom of speech, it has to include advocating for the violent overthrow of the government.
The people are supposed to be in control, not the government and if the people have the rhetorical means to take their government down taken away in such a manner, they’re not in control anymore. And we see where that kind of thinking leads us
I’m not asserting anything, I’m asking you a question. I have no skin in this game or underlying point; I’m asking you because you claim you’re from the area and I want to know more. So:
That’s really the only kind of whale you eat? What about the other kinds you hunt, or used to hunt?
What about the other ones?
AI generated pictures suck
Whales are endangered for the most part
It literally wouldn’t even matter, you’ll just deny it and refuse to concede even the most minor of points because for you, debate is not a means to find truth, it’s a power play. We’ve all seen it countless times. We know your game, your patterns of behavior, and since you do not want to play fairly because you’ll know you’ll lose, you don’t get to play at all. You don’t get to participate in discussions with us, especially not me. You’re isolated to your cult now. I hope you find happiness in choosing genocide.
Holy fuck, you right-wing traitors are out in full force today, aren’t you?
Absolutely nothing in this context, yes.
Grow up. Stop shilling for foreign powers.
🤔 And yet they’re federated with ours. Welp, we’ll fix that in a hot minute
And now you’re defending the practice.
How about, you and the rest of the dumbasses pushing your propaganda garbage go find another place to peddle it? Like hell?
In other words, you don’t have an answer, you’re defending shitty pro-Russia astroturfing and propaganda smearing.
Why do the admins tolerate this?
Russia does basically this to the U.S. with its subs and it’s a reality Americans are forced to deal with every day, so yes, Russia is the clear aggressor here.
What does this have to do with the Ukraine war? It was the U.S. that did that.
How does that change what they are?
