  • I wouldn’t say Europe are overreacting. This particular post, “worse than nazi Germany”, yes, but atm they are being a bit too complicit in things like the US bombing and kidnapping the head of a foreign nation…

    However the US isn’t literally building camps with the explicit purpose of mass murder and genocide. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still doing a lot of nazi and atrocious shit, but distinguishing the nuance is important.






  • I’ve had this exact scenario on reddit, many years ago. I can’t remember the specifics but it was literally like this comic. “Without using the core part of this topic, you can’t explain how this topic works”

    IIRC it was climate change (back when that was the hot button political issue) and something like “oh yeah, well without using man made CO2 emissions, explain the rise in CO2 and temperature, you can’t”, where their point was that it was “volcanoes”










  • I think it’s a case of them thinking what the title says, but knowing it makes them look shitty, so trying to couch it in a way that makes it open to interpretation, or at the very least gives them plausible deniability.

    Like a lot of right wing commentators/popular people. Talk bullshit around the point everyone knows you’re making, so when people call you out on it you can go “I specifically say that, so that’s not true, and you’re actually the ass hole for acusing me of it”
