@Tuckergg @jolteonbeast @MrMouton What if instead of blue needing 50% to survive, blue needs 100% to survive. Any one presses red then every blue dies. But red will survive no matter what

@thomaspwitte @jolteonbeast @MrMouton Incredibly stupid position.

If you're a red button pusher you're not worthy of moral consideration.

@Tuckergg @jolteonbeast @MrMouton If everyone picks red then no one dies.

@jolteonbeast @MrMouton The clear choice is that everyone lives with no pointless death. That's why it was the obvious outcome that we got.

@dddddddonuts @ClownDetector69 @TheOmniLiberal What’s not equivalent about them? If less than 50 percent do x then everyone who does x dies. If you don’t do X you live no matter what

@ClownDetector69 @TheOmniLiberal I think only a true retard would think these two hypotheticals are equivalent.

The people who choose red are the same people who abandon their carts in the parking lot.

@PHILLIP69693383 @southerngritz_ @RapidResponse47 The importers paid the tariffs directly, so the importers get the refund. Whether they passed the cost of the tariff on is irrelevant.

@southerngritz_ @RapidResponse47 The courts are ordering refunds based on the legal rules for collecting and refunding import duties and not on who ultimately felt the pain in their wallet, again it doesn't make sense

@Javielrey @williamjames @RapidResponse47 They don’t get to keep the money they took. The tariffs are and were illegal. If money has been taken illegally then the remedy is that the money is returned to the people it was taken from.

@williamjames @RapidResponse47 Yes. And do your research not loosing my time with someone who is not well informed in the topic.

@ComradeQuestio7 @Hruljina @Tomiz42069 @TheOmniLiberal Hang on a second. Would you say there is a difference between compelling a woman to have sex, and prohibiting a woman from resisting an attempted rape.

@Hruljina @Tomiz42069 @TheOmniLiberal A kidney transplant would be a legal compulsion (you must do this thing). Prohibitting an abortion is a legal prohibition (you cannot do this thing). A compulsion and a prohibition are different. Again, pregnancy is natural and temporary. Organ transplant is unnatural & permanent

When you don't go down their dialogue tree:

@WarMonitor3 They always say that🤣

China has said Taiwan is part of its territory and no-one can stop its eventual reunification.

@ExplainUrSelf47 @sentdefender They seized the ship there’s video he posted it. It’s news

@sentdefender Continue to peddle IRGC you traitor. Fucking grifer

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has released footage of the IRGC-N seizure of the two cargo vessels, the MSC Francesca and the Epaminondas, in the Strait of Hormuz earlier today. Per the White House press secretary, U.S. President Donald J. Trump does not consider the action to be a violation of the ceasefire. This, as the U.S. blockade of vessels traveling to and from Iranian ports continues.

@masterson11776 @sentdefender @Chuckholton Then Iran will just sink the ship

@sentdefender @Chuckholton Why aren’t these ship crews defending themselves? They can run these boats over…

@TxChexMix @sentdefender Why the hell would they do that?

@sentdefender Curious why they dont go roll up on the blockade with those boats

@Mjazz72 @sentdefender Somebody who doesn’t want the ship to get sunk

@sentdefender Who let the ladder down for them?

@jax_pep7827 @darewecan @sentdefender You can’t just “back out” of global markets.

@thomaspwitte @darewecan @sentdefender Then the US will back out of global methods for pricing oil, and we will base it on supply. It only takes the oil companies to do it.

According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, U.S. President Donald J. Trump does not view the Iranian seizure of the MSC Francesca and Epaminodes as a violation of the ceasefire framework, saying that the vessels were not U.S. or Israeli vessels. She also added that such actions only amount to piracy.

@jax_pep7827 @darewecan @sentdefender The increase is not temporary it’s permanent until the straight is reopened

@thomaspwitte @darewecan @sentdefender We can manage with a temp spike in prices, we will not have any shortages like other countries.

@02Shoota @BreezyBrianOKC @JamenB60132 @WarMonitor3 They probably have plenty of manpads

@BreezyBrianOKC @JamenB60132 @WarMonitor3 he already destroyed most their navy and killed to many leaders to count. don’t be delusional just cause you hate the guy 😂

Over 20 small Iranian gunboats have been spotted on satellite imagery racing towards the Iranian coastlines after travelling from the Middle of the Strait of Hormuz likely laying mines.

@jax_pep7827 @darewecan @sentdefender America needs the strait too. If oil prices go up anywhere then they will go up everywhere due to arbitrage.

@darewecan @sentdefender Apparently, all the countries who need the strait think it is ok for them to act like pirates. Is the US the only country in the world with an army, FFS.

@JamenB60132 @WarMonitor3 Iran can still shoot stuff down

@realamusingpony @EhrmantrautCap_ I’m disappointed he hasn’t resigned

@EhrmantrautCap_ So you are disappointed that he did not resume attacking?

According to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, he has ordered the U.S. military to hold off on the resumption of strikes against Iran and maintain the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, saying that due to the fractures within Iran’s top civilian and military command structure, the ceasefire will remain in place until they can provide a unified response to the U.S. proposals.

@IIkemefule @heebs1139180 @sentdefender Maybe it benefits people who are in the oil industry. But for regular people it just means higher gas prices as American buyers have to compete with foreign buyers

@heebs1139180 @sentdefender really? from his post, it seems so

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has made two Truth Social posts in the last hour. In his latest post, President Trump lambasted media reports that decry the administration’s efforts against Iran, saying that Iran is losing $500 million a day and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will not end until a deal is agreed upon and implemented.

@Andwhatface @sentdefender Ok well Iran does see it as one so that means the cease fire is over.

@thomaspwitte @sentdefender Nop

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGC-N) has announced that beginning in the evening on Saturday, it will be reimposing a total blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, in response to the United States’ refusal to lift its ongoing naval blockade on Iran which it views as a violation of the current ceasefire agreement that is set expired next Tuesday, April 21. The IRGC-N states that all vessels are directed to remain at anchorage in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, and that any any vessels will be considered “hostile” and targeted if they approach the Strait of Hormuz.

@Andwhatface @sentdefender A blockade is an attack

@sentdefender I find it interesting how the IRGC likes to imagine things. Trump never promised to unblock the Strait of Hormuz when Iran did. There was no such commitment. Ceasefire means we dont attack you and thats about it.
