Well that depends on the motivation for the bomb threat.

Also she was black. For some reason that’s important enough to be mentioned several times.

That would apply to any minority opinion as well, like supporting Palestine today, or being opposed to Japanese internment camps during world war 2 or opposing the Iraq war. Or being opposed to COVID vaccine mandates or school closures. People get cancelled for this stuff all the time, and being able to speak freely is critical to derailing social movements that go too far, which they always do. Anonymity is a double edged sword, where it holds people accountable for hate speech, but also provides security to express opinions that are contrary to prevailing narratives, things that desperately need to be said.

That depends if it’s your team or not, obviously

The only argument for the death penalty was back before long term prisons were available and someone was too dangerous to be released in society. The death penalty should be obsolete.

Better than being a bootlicker for one of the parties. If people could acknowledge fault with their side, maybe we could have honest dialogue and discussion instead of drones shouting unintelligible noise back and forth at each other according to the script from their party.

No that was the tricolor variation that preceded this final design, and it actually did look like a Somalia flag. I think this one will be pretty well liked by pretty much everyone. The only people who won’t like it will instinctively not like it because of the taint of wokeness as a motive to change it. Whatever. But at the end of the day, it was a trash flag and everyone will ultimately agree that it’s better now.

They just read different propaganda than you do, and the real truth is somewhere between Trump’s propaganda and what you are reading.

Hmm, well I’m not sure I agree that there is a big conspiracy or campaign, but I understand the logic.

How is calling someone a groomer related to fascism? Or is it just more of a correlation thing?

Lemmy moment

Are you being ironic? I actually can’t tell on Lemmy.

In the US when you kill random people it’s murder and when you take random people who aren’t breaking any laws and child them captive, then it’s kidnapping.

AMERICA BAD GUNS AND HEALTHCARE LMAO GOTTEM

That’s crazy, and now in order to remain competitive and get workers, other businesses will also need to raise their pay. Capitalism.

Too many people in the world crave an identity that is original enough to be interesting, but not so original that it can’t be quantified or defined by accepted or understood identity templates. They need to be able to put a name to their identity so they can talk about it.

I’d make the case for that being tea, but very cool regardless!

With so much going on in the world beyond our control and maybe more importantly our increased access to news about those events, we need a way to process things that we can’t influence, but that may impact us anyway. Stoicism can provide that in an increasingly secular society, where it used to be religion.

Maybe, but the only reason this is notable is because of an uptick that is from the literal opposite of Christian right wing.

Mass shootings weren’t even defined before. We didn’t talk about them because they weren’t tracked. Even now the definition of mass shooting isn’t settled, with some definitions having about a dozen per year, and others having about 2 per day.
