@Janfreterson

I am one of those guys who call themselves rational unironically. I try to be reasonable, which usually gets me accused of being a filthy centrist.

@wearydetective0 None of the centrists/liberals have done any soul searching about how and why wokeness was allowed to take over their movement though. They just want to move the country back to the exact conditions that gave us wokeness. Hence the defeatism.

Here's the problem. It's NOT censorship when the US government does this. That's what SCOTUS decided in Murthy v Missouri. Specifically, you have no standing to sue the gov't over your 1st Amendment rights b/c they laundered their censorship through a private company
Jacob Siegel@Jacob__Siegel

See, it's not censorship when a figure connected to the US government pressures a publication to remove its review of my book. I'm the REAL censor for writing the book.

@FaekBot @zennyyyplus If someone suggested that you, personally, should team up with an unrepentant serial killer cannibal for a group project, would you do it?

@Janfreterson @zennyyyplus I get what you are saying man, and I disagree. I think letting her continue to eat people is fucked up, but I think “letting them off the hook” is 1) good if they actually show they want to change 2) what WW and the amazons were originally built on, i.e. the Purple Ray

I know everyone wants to go "CIAman BAD" but King isn't wrong here.
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse

Tom King explains his take on Wonder Woman: "She's a warrior for peace. She's super empathetic but a warrior for peace. That means every time she throws a punch, every time she's fighting, she's losing. Every time she turns to violence, she's failing, and her life is violence. What does that mean for her over the long term? That's part of what makes her a warrior. Her war is failure." Does he even understand what he's saying?

@FaekBot @zennyyyplus I don't know what you hope to achieve by interpreting my words in the most negative way possible. Obviously I don't think Wonder Woman should torture criminals or whatever. But letting Cheetah off the hook means she is responsible for all the murders she commits.

@Janfreterson @zennyyyplus Do you not believe I can agree that letting her eat dudes is bad while also thinking your other statement, that there shouldn’t be any mercy shown to the cruel, is evil and inherently violent? Do you not get that that second part is what I was referencing? What’s up man?

@ChemlokNA @zennyyyplus It's not even about being good to ourselves, Cheetah is just straight up murdering people and Wonder Woman goes "omg girl I am such a kind and loving person I'm just gonna let you do it 🥰". Tom King's idea of being a good person is just toxic empathy, also known as wokeness.

@FaekBot @zennyyyplus So in your brain you equate "Wonder Woman shouldn't let Cheetah eat people" with "Wonder Woman is not violent enough". Okay.

@Invisibleman817 @FAFOmyfriend @RyanSaavedra Yesterday my uncle told me that Iran is more moral than the US, and that he hopes all Republicans are jailed for the rest of their lives. It's a very common sentiment here. People in Europe are absurdly hateful towards the US at the moment.

@FAFOmyfriend @Janfreterson @RyanSaavedra Even if you believe it was wrong that does not thereby mean all future moral considerations disappear. If you can’t fathom the moral universe of difference between the United States and Iran in terms of their moral ideals then you have bigger problems.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio gives an excellent explanation on why the U.S. needed to strike Iran It's less than 2 minutes and is worth the watch

@Janfreterson @zennyyyplus This is interesting. You’re maybe the first person I’ve seen that feels the problem with TK WW (and presumably most WW outside N52 and right before Infinitely Crisis) is that she’s not violent enough?? That she’s TOO kind???

@kamas716 @FAFOmyfriend @RyanSaavedra I would guess that some of the people killed by the US were justified, and some weren't. I'm very grateful to the US for liberating us during WW2, for instance. I am glad the US thought they had the moral right to do so.

@FAFOmyfriend @RyanSaavedra It is not the US that decides what’s right, it comes from morality. I’m guessing you don’t believe in objective morality, however.

@RyanSaavedra I still don't understand why we have the right to tell any countries they can't have nuclear weapons when we have them and are the only country in world history to use them against another nation.

@com_radical @zennyyyplus Letting cheetah kill men in wonder woman’s name is clearly evil and not something that a good person would do.

@Janfreterson @Joeyrandomguy Lmao. You are insanely naive, I’m going to guess you’ve never worked in the corporate world? That’s the logical consequences of shareholder capitalism, dude Bottom line growth, margin expansion, and stock price above all

@AthletesInSpace @Joeyrandomguy That's not what capitalism means. Capitalism just means "no state intervention", not "only corporations are allowed to benefit".

@Joeyrandomguy @Janfreterson But I also think these people are so heavily propagandized from day one, as well are, as Americans, none of them ever stop to ask whether having a society setup purely for corporations to make as much money as possible is even a good thing for humans & society at large?

@AthletesInSpace @Joeyrandomguy And the left has always said this. The "paradox of intolerance", which states you have to be intolerant of those who won't leave you alone, is totally true - it's just that the left *are* the intolerant ones.

@AthletesInSpace @Joeyrandomguy Because it proves that if the right doesn't force companies to cater for them, but the left does, then companies will respond by discriminating against the right on behalf of the left. Which makes a politically neutral, free-market approach self-defeating.

@avidseries Ironically enough making capitalism woke turned out to be the left's single best critique of capitalism. And they didn't even do it on purpose.

@GGDogTheRaped @Timcast The problem isn't that only minorities are capable of evil, it's that liberals turn a blind eye towards the evils of minorities. Look at the grooming gangs in England for example. Gays are not the common factor here, it's leftists.

@Timcast How many more of these kinds of stories do we need to hear before we recognize that homosexuals shouldn’t be allowed to foster kids? One day it’s a gay couple molesting boys, the next are lesbians torturing kids
