As someone who gets to interact with the unhoused daily, we're not putting the mentally ill in prison because we care but because they are bad for business.

"Both sides bad" vibes projected onto geopolitics.

If Israel treated Palestine like China treats the Uyghurs then Kamala would be president.

I think it's rather beside the point when talking about human rights. Why do you think it is relevant to repeat ad nausea in the context of human rights?

And I will argue that is some very dubious context given how people are being treated. Like people are disappearing and you're out here arguing they did a crime. Great job. Many of them aren't even undocumented.

Yes and further up the person was talking about how no person is illegal. So why are you even arguing?

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 0 points 5 months ago (11 children)

Yes, breaking the law is illegal. Do you understand that doesn't make the person illegal or even a felon?

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (13 children)

Yes, exactly like that. The act is illegal. Not the person. It's not even a felony for heavens sake.

It's like a parking ticket. Is everyone who had a traffic violation now an illegal person?

I think liberals doing trust exercises with marxists and others from different political leanings is the effective part.

If you're writing off all liberals then your view makes sense. At our no kings the Brown Berets showed up to protect those you are spurning. Many years ago I attended a UFW march that was also protected by the Brown Berets and it shocked an out of town liberal white woman who compared the union march to the Nazis. These people tend to only see aesthetics so the march is a good opportunity to make unusual alliances. That's the concrete achievement of my local Marxist-lennist org, but that probably doesn't make sense to the terminally online.

I saw one of his heads which seemed to have a fatal wound, but his fatal wound was healed; and the entire earth followed after the beast in amazement.

Blaming voters is just another way of wishing reality was different. Lots of people are telling you exactly how they are going to act but you are asking those without power to accommodate those with power. That's a choice and it says a lot about how you perceive power and it's authority.
