Not gloating, responding to your comment about caring more about reality than optics… Seems outrageous to say given the circumstance and outcome. It’s too on the nose unless you’re trolling…

Oh! In that case, thank you for saving Gaza!

As of March, substantially less than half (closer to 1/3). I’d imagine it’s even lower now: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2026/03/25/americans-broadly-disapprove-of-u-s-military-action-in-iran/

Do you believe Biden should be judge, jury, and executioner?

Absolutely not!

Maybe I understand your perspective better now? Is it that your opposition is to a president directly ordering someone be arrested/killed (vs directing the department of justice to administer a speedy and comprehensive trial in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice)?

I’m arguing against Biden throwing Trump in jail

Presumably because Trump is a politician? Or is it that you believe he committed no crimes?

Just to understand your perspective: is there anything a politician, either sitting or running, can do that would cause you to support jailing or executing them, or is the complication of them being a politician such that, in your eye, no penalty can be met for any crime they commit?

It reads to me like they’re staying in a middle class hotel

I believe he is also on the record saying that being detained while having to prove your citizenship is a minor inconvenience. He definitely seems to be speaking from his own perspective rather than that of anyone likely to have to deal with the outcome of these rulings.

Sadly, this is consistent with my experience with hospitals. The schedules are constantly in flux and no one bothers to tell the patients/advocates. It really sucks and seems unnecessary. Sorry that happened to you.

Dunno dude. Six year olds should be chaste. When he’s older he can go and have sex if he doesn’t believe in his religion. Or at least he could have if he wasn’t disappeared as part of a genocide land grab

Thanks for your reply. I feel you mischaracterized my response, likely because you didn’t understand it, in which case, likely because I did not express it well.

I don’t care whether op leaves Reddit, it’s not an important issue to me, and it has absolutely nothing to do with purity. I was responding to the idea that it’s hard to leave reddit, which may feel true for op, but, just as you suggested, if everyone took that attitude with everything, positive change would be stymied, and your suggested resort to suicide would make a lot more sense. Making space (e.g., by leaving an abusive relationship of one kind or another) can seem hard or scary, but I stand by it as a means to enable better things to come. What op wants to do with that is up to them.

I hope that’s more clear.

Ah yes, like food, water, and air—impossible to live without!

Word to the wise: leaving makes space for alternatives that clinging to hinders.

“What is this, an arch for ants?”

Thanks for your reply, and good luck with your mysterious education campaign!

Sorry if I’m being dense, but just to make sure: you’re saying China is preparing to protect itself from an upcoming Japanese invasion?

Interesting. Genuine question: how do you propose to compel to work those who are wealthy enough to live without working?

Under this plan, would the farms be nationalized, or would people be forced to work for the profit of private farm owners?

I thought someone running for political office can’t be arrested or tried for a crime in case they eventually win election (at which point all possible charges are automatically dropped)?

Hate crimes are born from opinions. My point was that at that age a lot of people think some awful things.

That may be, but my point was that the call for jail was due to their “opinions” fueling an impactful crime. You said yourself, despite the awful beliefs you held at that age, you’d have never committed such an act. I think that’s an important distinction.

I don’t think they should be jailed for life at the age of eight years old for it.

FWIW, I can appreciate the reasons that there is a juvenile court system in the US and agree that life without parole seems excessive based on my limited understanding of the crime and its context.
