But nobody here is buying it. His friends and family were all maga and they all said he was a good kid meeting he was maga too.

All of the memes he shared were right-wing memes and that Trump costume was a reference to Nick Fuentes' memes.

Facts don't care about your feelings. The right wing encourages violence and when you encourage violence it's random and can pop off anytime at anyone.

The left wing figured that out ages ago and figured out that violence is useless if you want to do anything worthwhile so we stopped.

Violence is explicitly the domain of the right wing. This makes sense because effective violence requires command structures and the right wing is obsessed with command structures.

Your side prefers taking orders

Comment They're not (Score -1, Flamebait) 81

Extremist right-wing men and women wanted to kill Muslims and dipshit liberals reacted to that by defending Islam accidentally because it's difficult for a lot of people distinguish between Muslims and Islam.

On the other hand the same extremists depend Islam when it comes to religious apologetics.

Doesn't matter what the religion is and nobody will ever attack the religion on the merits of the religion because as soon as start handing out to do that it's going to get used against your religion too.

So we don't attack the truth claims of Islam rather we focus on its use in the promotion of violence. We also conveniently forget the Christianity did the exact same thing for thousands of years before we stopped letting Christians do that.

Sure you can. It's pretty easy actually. You just use common signal tracking tools to find where it's coming from and kill anyone you find.

Once you give your country over to religious lunatics who are willing and able and happy to use violence anything becomes possible.

It would be nice if America had figured that out last year. Sometime before November.

All my family originally comes from out there and I take the commutor's into the city when I visit those that still live there. They're not a luxury experience but I never found those trains unpleasant. It actually makes for a good thing to keep in mind if one doesn't have family to stay with there like I do, it's MUCH cheaper to stay outside the city and then take the train in.

The subways though, there's some smells year round but personally it's just the summer that I find to be bad. The heat doesn't do good things for the smell at all and it can be kind of awful.

Again though, my point is that this is a huge quality of life downgrade from driving in a nice clean smelling car.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that at least in a major city. I find moving around major urban areas is both a pain in the ass and expensive in car. There's a real reason a majority of households in NYC don't own them.

I wouldn't want to be stuck in a train with the people that shop at my local Walmart, and they all have cars. I think it's just a cultural difference here in the US, where we'd be at each other's throats if not kept separated in our own little metal boxes with wheels.

In New York massive numbers of people take the commuter lines into the city every day and New Yorkers are known for being some of the most intense Americans. Then there's the subways moving even more people. New York also has legal pot as well. With the right infrastructure this type of thing works fine in the US.

The homophobia thing I get though. I'm sorry that's bullshit you have to worry about.
