The correct answer to "Why the sticker?" is "Why the fascism?"
I liked her answer because she can continue to waste their time instead of being targeted for harassment.
I would also accept “Because this is America” to hammer it home
Well some mod keeps removing peoples' comments that aren't even going against the grain of other commenters so... maybe you should be repeating what they said?

In a Rambo movie, its cool as hell.
IRL, I've got a few WW2-era relatives who will tell you how fucking hard it is to take a life for the first time. Even setting aside the consequences of doing what is going to be immediately flagged as first degree murder, it cannot be properly expressed how horrible the act of killing another person is for the human soul.
the first rambo movie is quite literally about what that shit does to a mfer
Well... the first 3/4ths of the first Rambo movie.
The back end is just "What do we do with the rest of our demolitions budget?"
This is the difference between someone who wants to use their gun defensively and someone who just wants an excuse to murder people.
You don't unholster your gun unless you're prepared to take a life. You pray you never have to.
But there are just too many people who are thirsty to take a life and that should worry all of us.
Even hunting takes something out of you. It's a feeling not like another to take a life, and not a good feeling at all.
An animal cannot choose to be a nazi nor fabricate a genocide, so yea, that'd definitely hit different.
Something tells me you've never been shot at. It's not just a videogame.
This isn't a discussion about the horrors of war but the emotional damage of killing someone else. Please stay on topic.
You absolute nunce do you think a large armed group of humans will passively sit and be shot at and not return fire
You're still attempting to change the context of the comment. You are failing at reading comprehension.
There's a reason why John fucking Brown is the real Jesus Christ. He'd fucking blow up the damn white house at this point.
If John Brown were Jesus Christ, then presumably his body wouldn't lie mouldering in the grave.
But either way, we can assume that his soul goes marching on.
But you do get to make a horcrux and become immortal.
Comedy aside, well said.
I mean, "paranoid geriatric fascist serial killer performs home invasion in an attempt to murder a baby" describes a JK Rowling character and your choice of IDF or ICE officer equally well.
Man I still don't understand how horcruxs were supposed to work
When it's a good writer writing them and not a transphobic moron, then they make perfect sense.
Um, where else did you get your original definition of a horcrux?
I'm not certain of any specific usages of the word that predate Harry, but the general concept of a spirit vessel that saves mortality is not terribly new nor unique. Generally speaking, a spirit needs to have all connections with a mortal plane severed in order to move on. A spirit vessel like a horcrux is merely a separate attachment to 'this' world that can be separated and protected. Having more than one is also not terribly unique.
If Dipshit Transphobe were anywhere near a good writer, this could've been a big point as to why Voldyboi was an idiot for doing it, because it'd basically be cursing himself to have a near permanent connection to the mortal plane, especially with how scattered he made his crap, making his existence torture on the best of days... like a lich posessing objects, it shouldn't be easy nor kind to the user.
Though since she's an utterly shit writer, it only amounted to, "oh boy, he's hard to permanently kill!".
Right. The vague concept existed before in many different forms. She put hircruxes in her books and made them a thing that people understood. I'm not saying she's a great writer, but she clearly appealed to a lot of people with her writing, and not just kids. Her stories at least had decent morals. I'm not defending any of her anti-trans crap, but her Harry Potter fiction is a separate thing.
Magic.
Or plot.
Eehhhhhhh personally I think it'd depend greatly on who it was.
Some poor sap drafted or otherwise forced to fight against me for someone else's cause? Yea, that's going to suck.
Choking out some loser who fantasizes about being hitler in 2025? Yea, I'll sleep like a baby that night.
While a German soldier in ww2 could go either way, some fascie piece of shit cosplaying in the US has no obligation to be such a piece of shit and has thusly chosen that path. Such a mfer who chooses to be that vile? Yea, remorse isn't entering the equation.
Mods banned the constitution lol
"What sticker?"
Play it super dumb like you have no idea wtf they're even talking about.
"I like Italian food assholes!!"
Food assholes is a very peculiar dish, must be something like doughnuts
much more chewy
