Kari Lake Gets Shut Down And It's Glorious

Trump knows what he’s doing when he calls his enemies “vermin” in his speeches and online. He’s dehumanizing them. This has happened to my community twice in my lifetime: once during World War II, and again during the pandemic. It is so dangerous, and Trump knows it. He’s preparing his base to do things that you can’t do to other humans, only to subhumans. Be warned. Be vigilant.

I don't know who I dislike more. #ClimateCrisis deniers who are just frankly not very bright and easily hookwinked or the #ClimateChange don't give a shitters who know what's coming down the pipe but figure poor people will die first so meh.

If you don't consider how what you are saying might work for Putin or Trump, you are not being responsible, but will be responsible for their seizing power.

Fascism is worse than inflation, but try explaining that to the new media 🙄Tax cuts to billionaires & millionaires 💰keeps the news corporations voting & supporting Republicans. America's Fascist party.

Liz Cheney says RNC chair 'collaborating' with Trump's 'Nazi propaganda' https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4307011-liz-cheney-rnc-chair-mcdaniel-collaborating-trump-nazi-propaganda/

2/ 100s of people spending tens of millions of $ to install pre-vetted, pro-Trump army of up to 54,000 loyalists across govt to rip off restraints imposed on previous presidents.

Social media histories are already being plumbed.

If Trump were to win, 1000s of Trump-1st loyalists would be ready for legal, judicial, defense, regulatory, domestic policy jobs. His inner circle plans to purge anyone viewed as hostile.

& the people leading these efforts aren't clownish figures like Rudy Giuliani.

No lies

So I think we have a disconnect. It appears purposeful. What you're calling "proselytizing" is a substitution (in this case) for "indoctrination."

You're conflating the 2 intentionally.

Nobody "indoctrinated" me to "believe" that Dictionary definitions for words are "in fact" Dictionary definitions for words.

Your belief structure demands indoctrination. Mine does not.

@avi917 @lednabwm That's not what those things mean. Atheism literally means the absence of belief that any deities exist. Agnosticism, on the other hand, is the belief that it is unknowable whether deities exist or not. So literally the opposite of what you seem to have heard; agnosticism is a philosphy with the tenet "I don't know & you can't know either", while atheism is simply a word describing not believing in gods.

Also, remember: A negative can't be proven & so requires no evidence.

I have the best conversations with my mom. I try my best at a translation of the call I just had with her:

phone ringing
Me: Hello m...
Her: Eʟᴅᴇʀ Sᴘᴀᴡɴ.
Me: ...
Me: Yᴇs Gʀᴀɴᴅ Mᴀᴛʀɪᴀʀᴄʜ.
Her: I sʜᴀʟʟ sᴜᴍᴍᴏɴ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴏ ᴘᴀʀᴛᴀᴋᴇ ɪɴ ꜰᴇᴀsᴛɪɴɢ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴄʀɪꜰɪᴄᴇs ʟᴀɪᴅ ʙᴇꜰᴏʀᴇ ᴜs ᴛʜɪs ᴅᴀʏ ᴏꜰ sᴜɴ. Wɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴇᴇᴅ ᴍʏ sᴜᴍᴍᴏɴs?
Me: checks calendar
Me: Tʜᴇ sᴛᴀʀs ᴀʟɪɢɴ, ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴍᴏᴛʜᴇʀ. I sʜᴀʟʟ ᴍᴀɴɪꜰᴇsᴛ ɪɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄᴏᴜʀᴛ ᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ 12ᴛʜ ʜᴏᴜʀ ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇ sᴜɴ ʙᴇʟɪᴇᴠᴇs ɪᴛsᴇʟꜰ ɪɴᴠɪɴᴄɪʙʟᴇ.
Her: Tʜᴜs ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀʀᴇ sᴘᴏᴋᴇɴ, ᴛʜᴜs ɪᴛ sʜᴀʟʟ ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴ.
Me: Great, see you on sunday.
Her: Try to be punctual.

I always refer to her when people ask me "why are you like this?".

@MylesRyden Yes, I don't think Trump's followers are, many of them, being conned. I think they are wilfully casting their lot with him, knowing full well who he is — because the cruelty appeals to them. Cruelty is the point.

It doesn't make any sense to me that we'd let others' religious beliefs limit what we do or how we do it.

Again, back to where I started, if you're trying others that your belief is correct without proof and that everyone else is belief is wrong, you're proselytizing, and that's what religions do.
