Right, cause piracy has been a big problem in SE Alaska. You don't have any idea who is passing you in the water. In all my years boating, and I live in Alaska with no super yacht, you never pass someone in the water who needs help. Ever.

Define "fascist". Are we like the Fascista or is it more of a fascist=bad and Trump=bad, therefore Trump=fascist?

Names don't mean anything. DPRK (North Korea) is a great example. Confederation would probably describe it best.

But if you call it a tariff you can apparently make the percentage a lot bigger.

He's not helping but let's not act like he's the first president to try to consolidate power. Our last president tried to enact a 1984 style ministry of truth. How far back you want to go to look? Gulf of Tonkin? A lazy Congress is there every time to hand over more power.

I got a couple temp bans back to back for pointing out to the moderators that the spirit of liberalism and free speech means protecting speech you disagree with. I was a 15+ year reader of Fark. Once I got off the site I found the real, actual liberalism was being supported more by the right than the left now.

You missed the point of their rant. It's nothing to do with MS or any of that. It's that they like to be triggered so they can respond and prove to themselves they are better than someone else. I mean why mention MAGA?

See? All that effort is being put into trying to find reasons to hate the US. Are you capable of naming anything good or are you just one of those people walking around angry at everything all the time?

You believe that because you want to. You can do the same (lack of) effort and characterize any country in a bad way. The opposite can be done too. I'm sure there are people that love living in Sudan. You should try it. But no, you'll just complain about the US while enjoying all the benefits of living here.

You think Afghanistan is near the Persian Gulf?

As an Alaskan, ffs just move south.

Do you honestly think that describes all conservatives?

No, it's just logic. How many things are children either not allowed to do or not allowed to decide for themselves? They're permanent, life altering decisions that a child really doesnt grasp the gravity of. We don't normally let rando adults talk to children about sex because they have motivations the child does not understand. No 5 year old thinks they are the opposite gender without someone older suggesting it to them.

Great, can we have a new word for genocide? It used to mean the systematic eradication of a people. Now it just means one side is disproportionately bigger than the other.

Its the same person. It's an old tactic. Make it seem like your opposition is some crazy unhinged loony too make your own claim better.
