Careful study has established that CouchBoy’s intense misogyny arises out of homosexual frustration. He is, after all, a Republican, the Party of haven for repressed homosexuals.

@APBBlue I have heard that Mussolini and Hitler were quite awful, but I was not around at the time. I cannot compare. He very well could be worse.

(I mean, back then, people were *encouraged* to kill nazis. Paid for it, even.)

Who knows precisely why some of us care deeply about justice, fairness, rule of law, and the ideal of a wholly pluralistic democracy? For me, commitments to all of those connects with a deep respect for the dignity of persons. Nobody should be treated as a means to somebody else’s ends. Nobody should be considered the instrument of somebody else’s wealth or power. Each of us should be treated as an agent, somebody with the capacity to author their own ends.1/

@Bronwyn What is used to deliver souls to the realm of eternal retribution?

@Bluedepth @MonaApp I have a G5 iMac that still runs fine, but it does not get a lot of use. I subsisted on iPads through the Intel years, because x86 makes me want to barf.

@Bluedepth @MonaApp Eleven years old. As Apple products go, that is a pretty good run. My iPad 1 lasted for 3 years before I went for an Air 2, and the screen on that one went all green after 5 years.

@emptywheel If the Cheeto-Faced ShitGibbon says it, it is just the ShitGibbon being the ShitGibbon, whereas if a Democrat says it, it is a dangerous malicious lie (no matter how minor).

@TonyStark but, but, Republicans are better with the economy. It is gospel.

@alchemistsstudio Our tree rats seems to be struggling to find food lately. I find doug fir cone scales littering the ground, along with stripped cone cores.

Or maybe it is the birds doing that.

@LaNaehForaday @gtconway3 please do not insult the intelligence of fruit by comparing it to ShitGibbon’s brain

@Urban_Hermit It is an attempt to vilify them without churning up. “basket of deplorables” quality animosity.

We want to call them what they are: America-Hating Fucksticks. But that makes discourse difficult. Weird people hate having to be compared to Republicans, but it is a less hostile way to describe them. The truly weird would rather have Ms Harris in the WH, so we will tolerate it, for now.

@CoachMark A free society is not required to tolerate religious sectionalism. You are free to believe what you want to believe, but leveraging that belief could be constrained without infringing on religious freedom. It is simply a matter of demanding that people not be persecuted for their faith, but can be prosecuted for trying to gain power over the faithful.

And quite frankly, groups like the JWs and HKs who practice strict exclusion need heavy regulation.

@CoachMark In fact, a large swath of religions are fundamentally incompatible with capitalism. Asceticism is a frequent component of religious teaching, and capitalism itself is atheistic.

OTOH, there is Scientology …

@cturnbow @MarkRNay@ravenation.club @Lizette603_23 @GottaLaff I am thinking some sort of strategy that was used in a very different way. Allow citizens to “prosecute” media outlets for dangerous content. The citizens would not be required to demonstrate standing (“I was harmed”) or even falsehood, merely that the content is potentially dangerous. It would be a tricky needle to thread.
