Hows it going
Oh my
> How were you using it? lol
@GoCRAZY I was using it as a way to say "well, to the contrary", like saying the unexpected thing that's opposite of a previous statement
But "alas" is to express grief over something being "the bad outcome" or whatever. SOOO, I wonder how many times I made a good-sounding counter-statement to something else sound BAD instead of good
Yes
i
It took me an all nighter just to finish typing and editing this massive email I just sent
I have been away for 30+ hours
Time to pass out
rip
Lmao
Betcha theyd stand for China 🤔
Heh, i like what google id askin what i meant
For a second I thought the “Years active” said “born” because it was in the corner of my eye and I was like “Crowder was born in 1999... something isn’t right here” and then I figured out I was just dumb, lol
Philosophical question for everyone _*DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT CONDONE ANY VIOLENCE OF ANY KIND THIS IS PURELY A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT*_
If a white person assaults a bunch of white BLM activists. (I'll even go as far as to say peaceful) Would it be considered a "hate crime". Given the definitions, as they stand socially, by our politicians and many pundits/personalities that impact our lexicon, of: BLM, Race, Hate Crime. Please tag me in all responses.
legally, it depends on who initiates the fight
@N1br0c By saying that, you're admitting that the BLM movement is a movement purely for race and not about equality. Is this your intention?
...?
You're equating BLM with the black race. Regardless of who starts it, a hate crime *must* be about one class of person against another.
gimme a sec to read that again. brain slow at 23:42
Thats fair. Please tag me so I see the push notification.
I guess it would have to do with the intent. Is the suspect assaulting them because they're white, or because they're members of blm?
🤔
So again, you still seem to be equating a slogan with a class. Im interested to see some other perspectives.
There is _no_ wrong answer here.
Its simply a thought experiment to see where we are as a society.
I guess I don't know enough about law to make an educated discernment. I'd need more information about blm's "motives" (oh wait, they want to destroy America...)
What I do know, is that if you want to stay on the right side of the law, let them throw the first punch. Everything else is self-defense.
Just curious: what would you folks say to someone on the left who says it's hypocritical for Lauren Chen to support Hong Kong protesters and not support BLM protesters? Maybe start by stating the Hong Kong people are protesting communist China, citing evidence of China's human rights violations, and the BLM people are protesting a total lie, citing evidence that the police don't discriminate against black people (more unarmed whites die than blacks every year, blacks are killed by cops in proportion to their criminality rates, etc.)? Also, if the two protests are truly equivalent, then the NBA should support both (or better yet, neither). Also also, if the protests are equivalent, show me where the Hong Kong people are destroying each other's stuff and killing each other as opposed to just fighting off the police. And show me the Hong Kong television stations calling the protesters mostly peaceful and canceling shows that depict cops positively in solidarity with the protesters, because if it turns out that American TV stations are allowed to continuously bash the country's leader and not be yanked off the air, but Hong Kong TV stations are controlled by the CCP, then the two protests lose some equivalency.
The people in Hong Kong are fighting true oppression, BLM isn’t. It’s as simple as that.
I find most of the people who want to make outlandish comments are more likely to outright dismiss you if you make well thought out responses because peanut brains only work for so long
They’ll either: A. Not respond or B. Pull something out of thin air to argue about that is usually unrelated
