Yeah, because you expect a certain answer and I’m not giving you that.

I literally just asked what point you were even trying to get across because you weren't making any sense. It's not that deep.

Pretending that that’s all they’re doing

Again, what is your stance here? That I should be criticizing everybody more? I'm not going far enough?

But that’s not what you wrote.

I'm sorry I didn't fill out the bulletpoint list for you. For the avoidance of doubt:

  • Yes, the democratic party are to blame for this
  • Yes, Biden is to blame for this
  • Yes, the article is bad

It's a statement that criticises the democratic party, and by extension Biden, explicitly tied back to the article via the structure of the headline.

The guy kicking the puppy is in Israel.

It's a metaphor for "doing a bad thing". Funding a regime attempting genocide is a bad thing.

I know you need my analogy to not work—because it makes it painfully obvious how tone-deaf an article about how great Biden is, written when the most relevant thing he's done recently is funding a genocide—but it's very clearly fine.

Why do you need to blame people in the US

If you insist on using your analogy, the US won't stop cheering on the puppy kicker even after everybody's asked them to stop.

The people in the US are currently telling them that enough is enough.

They're telling them that enough is enough while continuing to fund their war and doing absolutely nothing to stop them. Words without actions are cheap. Apparently that's enough for you, though?

you want to make it seem sick to advance your agenda

my horrific agenda of "genocide is bad, actually"

Why would I need to take a stance here at all?

I think this question might have caused my brain to short circuit. You can't disagree with somebody unless you disagree with them about something. I cannot for the life of me fathom how you could possibly ever think otherwise.

the presidency is supporting a political partnership during high tensions and made a tough decision

When the thing we're talking about is continuing to aggressively fund a regime currently attempting a genocide, this is a comically lenient way of phrasing things.

Why is there a need to pivot this with some unhelpful, inaccurate and inflammatory rhetoric?

Pivot from what? What are you talking about? The vast majority of your reply borders on word soup, and mostly consists of doing the thing you're currently accusing me of doing.

So, really, what is your deal?

That writing an article about how great of a guy Biden is while the most pressing thing going on at this very moment is how he won't stop indirectly funding a genocide is ghoulish and repugnant.

If we're standing together on the street and I point out the guy currently kicking a puppy and start telling you about how much of a nice guy he is, how could you conclude anything about me other than the fact I don't care about the puppy?

This article is sick.

You are aware it is possible to criticize a party you intend to vote for, yes?

What exactly is your stance here? That the invasion isn't resulting in the needless deaths of countless civilians and the destruction of Gazan infrastructure? Or that that is happening, but that it's okay?

it must be so tough for you to keep hearing about how the IDF is handling this conflict and about that manifests in terms of human lives

you truly are a brave little soldier for reading some posts on the internet about it, and certainly far braver than all the people who are like, actually living it as their day-to-day experience

you're the one attempting to reframe "there should be more oversight on the police's actions" as "the police should be granted more power to interpret the law as they see fit"

[–] Primarily0617@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

your argument is that the police need to be allowed to act with as much malice or incompetence as they like because if there was more oversight in the system they could choose to not arrest rapists?

you're saying that more oversight would lead to the police having more freedom to enforce the law as they see fit?

cool, but plenty of people are going to disagree with you, and what's the point of protesting if your goal isn't ultimately to affect change?
