Celebrating violence. Definitely worthy of a Peace Prize.

    Trump might be the only person less deserving of it than Obama.

    His Deathday is going to be celebrated worldwide by people of all colours. It’s gonna be kind of unifying. It won’t really change much, but it’ll be a good day.

    After he glitched out today, making all those weird noises I don't think that day is too far off. Like he might not make it to 2027.

    My dad started making noises like that and a few weeks later could not even talk. A month after that he was gone.

    Dementia Don is not long for this world.

    They'll McConnell him. Put him in a bed with someone underneath with their hand up his arse, manipulating him like the puppet he's always been. Bet they make an intern do it. Tough job, gotta go shoulder deep.

    McConnell was their test run at keeping a brain dead man moving around and breathing like a meat puppet. They may actually do a warhammer and just keep him hooked up to machines as the immortal forever president of America

    It’s really going to bring back the US tourism industry. You’ll have to pre-book well in advance to piss on his grave.

  • In all honesty these people are only really able to do this shit when they concentrate their numbers at these rallies. It's why shitheels like Rittenhouse or the proud boys seem to rarely if ever be from the state they take action in.

    Fucking love how the "law enforcement officers" just let the magat traitor filth (who sucker punched the real American like a little bitch) go without arresting him for CLEAR AND UNDENIABLE ASSAULT.

    I have a theory that trump is like an evil spirit that feeds on attention.

    If no one says his name for 24h, he will vanishe.

    I think their position is that it's not political violence if "they're right". That's just standing up for truth.

    Political is when something is untrue like, I dunno, periods or something.

    Yeah it’s the same mindset as; you’re a man, or you’re political, you're white or you’re political, you’re straight or you’re political etc.

    Not agreeing with them is an attack on their ego and they cannot tolerate it.

    Isn't that the position most anyone is willing to take? I'm certainly no maga fan but I see online calls to violence against them on a daily basis.

    I'm fully within a bubble here, but I'd say there are calls to violence from a minority on the left, but little to no actual violence demonstrated. There are calls for violence on the right from a larger proportion of their population, though perhaps still not the majority of them, and actual violence and murder frequently documented on the books.

    I think the people on the left are often on the left because they have a certain respect for human life, unfortunately all human life, and we tend to believe in the political system more, rather than resorting to violence outside that system. We also tend to believe in people's bodily autonomy, which leads to people's right to not get punched in the face against their will. We also tend to not believe in the death sentence, even for the most heinous crimes.

    Typically the calls for violence from the minority on the left are a frustrated desire to respond to violence with violence, to resist violence with violence, or to throw off the system entirely and build a new one, which often requires violence.

    But there's relatively little actual violence, at least right now, with a few calls from a few keyboard surfers.

    As a Christian Anarchist, I was reading your entire post like "YES. EXACTLY!"

    I'm continually baffled by how the faith was hijacked by the violent, greedy, sociopathic despots of the world, because this valuing of human life and rejection of violence against others are central.

    If only the people would read. Most people's kneejerk hatred for the gospel comes from their interactions with violent and hateful righties that go to weekly feel-good seminars to justify their misanthropy to themselves.

    The rich infected and rotted the Church because it used to be a communitarian leftist thorn in their pockets.

    Yeah...I struggle with this sometimes. I get heated, and I get angry, and I wonder where the line is to rack our rifles and go "FINE. HAVE IT YOUR WAY." ... but I'm still deprogramming growing up in a conservative household...

    No?? wtf there’s a select few things I could understand violence over, even fewer political violence, just cause I share political ideology with you doesn’t mean I think you should get carte blanche to do whatever political violence you want. If you think political violence is ok as long as you agree with the perpetrators you’re probably part of the problem.

    You have some very poor interpretation skills. Never said or implied such a thing. Put the pipe away and wake up.

    Going back in time and punching this kid square in the nose in middle school might have straightened him out. Would be worth a try if the opportunity presents itself.

    Some people really need to learn empathy that way. "Oh, that's NOT fun, is this how other people feel when I do it??"
