Bari Weiss is a kapo and deserves the fate of all collaborators.

JD Vance is so unlikeable that it killed Pope Francis.

Never forget.

They stopped because they weren't getting paid enough, and they made sure to sell the planes to ICE before they did.

The reaction to 9/11 did so much more than most people realize to put us on the path that has led to our current national nightmare.

We got punched in the face and started thinking everyone was out to do it again. The modern police state is 100% thanks to the national security measures greenlit during post-9/11 paranoia.

Not someone from The West Wing! This really is the worst timeline.

"I haven't had any luck with women, so the subculture that demonizes and seeks to subjugate women is obviously the right one!"

You should have stuck with cryptic posts about mass shooters, because this one is really making you look like a piece of shit.

The government kicked the Dakota off the land. Settlers were overwhelmingly immigrants who were just settling where their government told them was allowed.

Refusing to answer just indicates your lack of morals.

Anyone who would advocate for the killing of civilians is no better than the people who would lock them up in camps. We're supposed to be better than that.

But seem to completely blind you to the fact that while Manifest Destiny and the treatment of the Native Americans was an abomination, individual cases of prosecution (say, for individuals conclusively found to have raped women and massacred civilians) were justified.

Were the civilians just supposed to allow themselves to be attacked?

To bring it back into the present day, ICE and the current fascist autocracy are a crime against mankind. Does this mean it would be acceptable to go kill a bunch of Republican civilians? If your resistance overflows the bounds of military conflict and hurts the innocent, you're guilty.

In the middle of the Civil War? In a case where order had to be kept by 2000 troops at the execution because of the unrest caused by the massacres and rapes?

I think you're allowing your ideals to cloud a rational appraisal of the facts.

Would you rather he allowed Sibley to hang all 307?

I'm fine with holding historical figures to account, but there's zero doubt that if Lincoln hadn't personally intervened, all the convicted men would have died.

Lincoln also narrowed the list of convicted men down from 307 men sentenced to death to only 38.

His address to the Senate on the executions stated the following

Anxious to not act with so much clemency as to encourage another outbreak on the one hand, nor with so much severity as to be real cruelty on the other, I caused a careful examination of the records of trials to be made, in view of first ordering the execution of such as had been proved guilty of violating females. Contrary to my expectations, only two of this class were found. I then directed a further examination, and a classification of all who were proven to have participated in massacres, as distinguished from participation in battles. This class numbered forty, and included the two convicted of female violation. One of the number is strongly recommended by the Commission which tried them for commutation to ten years' imprisonment. I have ordered the other thirty-nine to be executed on Friday, the 19th instant."

You tell her "I love you and enjoy spending time with you, but it's starting to make me uncomfortable that you keep pressing the religion and conversion conversation."

Then, if she keeps it up, you cut her loose because she doesn't respect your boundaries.

Sorry I deleted after you commented. I kept trying to get the formatting looking right and it just wound up looking awful

It fills us with a couple emotions.

Only if you're a bigot.

I'm a product of a shitty American school just like most people. There were zero non-English speakers at my high school.

I have NEVER thought either of those things about Spanish speakers. Or any language, for that matter.

Saying way more about how you were raised than anything.

Bigot.

If you're too busy enjoying yourself to notice that your government is murdering your fellow citizens, that's called having your head in the sand.

Or, just maybe, you're being disingenuous and you just can't be bothered to care, which says vastly more about the state of your morals than it does about your level of enjoyment in life.

Probably because the most well-funded paramilitary force in the US was just said to have absolute immunity to shoot you if they want.

Doesn't exactly make me want to go engage in an outdoor activity that requires a license right now.

Who's to say the park ranger that checks your fishing permit doesn't put a call in to ICE to check you out, "just in case"?

"How can we possibly teach philosophy without being allowed to discuss Plato?"

Because hamstringing education and freedom of thought is a basic tenet of fascist autocracy. Can't teach people how to think if you want the kind of citizens that will be wage slaves and willing troops in a technofascist meat grinder.

6 months ago I would have said great idea.

Now, ICE agents have been verified by the government to have "absolute immunity", and have shown that they have no problem shooting American citizens.

There are a ton of things you can do that don't involve putting innocent people's lives at risk just to "screw around" with ICE.

If you actually want to be proactive, read the Simple Sabotage Manual or Carlos Marighella's Mini-Manual for the Urban Guerilla.
