Yeah, extremist, violent people like you are the problem, no matter which side you’re on. The fact that you’re happy to attack anyone who’s not as extreme as you are means you’re a threat to society and not a tolerant person at all. You’re just a different flavor of violet extremist, congratulations.
I have considered abandoning Lemmy multiple times. It’s a bit too chock full of far leftists who think it’s fine to do unprovoked violence to far right people under the “punch a Nazi” slogan. I find many of the hypocritical tendencies I fled on Reddit can be found here, just from a slightly different slice of the political spectrum.
I’ve paid for a few months of Midjourney to create some portraits for a few gaming characters. That’s about it.
Ah. Thanks; I was genuinely curious. So, people feel the term is overly PC and sanitizes the topic. I get it, I suppose.
You never answered my question.

I agree. Just clarifying why I think people are calling for him to go to prison.
I think the assumption is that they were underage, trafficked women.
They get exposed to Hollywood’s party/drug culture very early, that’s for sure. But I think the home environment is the most critical factor. If you’ve got psycho parents who are trying to live vicariously through you or simply see you as a cash cow, they’re going to fuck you up way more than Hollywood can.
Also, there’s something to be said for the psychological impact of becoming successful, having your “15 minutes of fame,” and then fading into obscurity. That’s got to mess with your self-esteem big time.
Good. Political violence is never justified against people simply holding signs. That student should be charged with assault and punished according to the law. People defending them here are no better than ICE agents. Fuck y’all.
It’s not abortion when you don’t feed pregnant children enough and they miscarry due to malnutrition or extreme stress.
I watch stuff on my laptop in bed all the time. It’s the main reason I opt for a laptop over a desktop/tower PC.
The climate.
gop controlled areas use voter machines that are often rigged
I’ve got a bridge I could sell you that would look marvelous next to that tin foil cap you’re wearing.
This is actually a very common problem in mental health. I would suggest getting yourself into therapy. Simple self-exploration can sometimes be enough to tear down those walls. You want a therapist who isn’t afraid to “poke,” as I call it; one who isn’t afraid of causing you to break down, because if they’re afraid of making you cry, they won’t be able to help you get over your fears of it.
Dungeon Meshi doesn’t follow a lot of the anime tropes that people who aren’t into anime often dislike; so, I would say it’s at least worth a shot.
Even the Wikipedia article you referenced contradicts your assertion that the group itself isn’t racist.
While Proud Boys leadership has denied being a white supremacist organization, the group and some of its members have been connected to white supremacist events, ideologies, and other white-power groups throughout its existence.
According to the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism the group believes that traditional masculinity and Western culture are under siege, using “Western chauvinism” as euphemism for the white genocide conspiracy theory.[4] Members have participated in overtly racist events and events centered around fascist, anti-left, and anti-socialist violence.[4]
Seems like you should do more work on knowing your enemy.
He’s pleading with the wrong people. These are all heart-of-hearts racists. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to a one. They deserve lifetime prison sentences, not forgiveness.
No, the people who needed to be convinced were the on-the-fence independents who stupidly thought they’d get a better economy under “Trump the successful businessman” than Kamala “Joe Biden 2.0 Harris.” They’re the ones who dismissed Trump’s stated plans as bluster; the people you’re talking about knew he wasn’t joking and were counting on it.
This is Lemmy; let’s not pretend there’s an actual choice of which side to pick to avoid harassment or even mod intervention.
