Fascists will always MAKE an excuse.

Obviously. But whether or not leftists support killing people who have done the thing the fascists accuse the minorities of doing/being is whether or not the fascists will be able to kill those minoritites with leftists cheering them on.

I’m okay with fascists and other repeat offender threats to the planet being thrown in a prison forever. They don’t have to die and no one has the right to determine whose life is forfeit and whose isn’t. But if they repeatedly endanger the lives of others, including animals, they need to be away from society.

Finally, a leftist who actually understands that wanting to build a society free from state-sponsored violence means that state-sponsored execution is bad no matter what and it's not just a question of how bad the crime wa–

The death penalty is acceptable for people like Netanyahu.

–oh.

we have people right now accusing anyone with a middle class income of being who they're talking about when they say eat the rich. who genuinely believe that the fact that poverty exists means that anyone who isn't in it is the borgeoise. you're an idiot if you think those people won't come out of the woodwork when people actually start killing billionaires.

conservatism consists of exactly one proposition etc. etc.

I wish all pedophiles a very therapy

Lmao even

ohhh nooooo, who could possibly have seen this coming

not like that repo was getting constantly vandalized as people realized it contained copyrighted code that the winamp owners didn't have the rights to which the project managers were halfheartedly playing whack-a-mole with

i'm a linux user do i look like i have sex

Reagan was pretty far right, that I'll not dispute. What about Kamala Harris though?

I do so love it when leftists who have never interacted with me beyond reading a single comment tell me what I believe

i especially love how that video is shrunk to part of the width of a portrait screen so that text can be put above it, and then stretched back out into a landscape video. really adds to the experience.

That’s hardly brushing the surface, yet people go “fuck yeah, this guy should run the country”.

Only the stupid people say that. The smart people say that the woman running against him is just as bad as him despite being measurably better in literally every conceivable metric.

"Kamala Harris is as far right as Ronald Reagan" was not a take I was expecting to see today.

Although given that this is Lemmy I wish I could say I was surprised.

FFmpeg has FFV1 which is lossless

okay, fine, but not being able to leave your house is no excuse for having ... I'm just gonna say the opinions that people on Lemmy have.

So, none of the above, but you're still not going to vote?

mmmm no that's a perfectly reasonable thing to judge people for

1. There are two choices in the United States 2024 election. No third party stands a ghost of a chance of winning. No, not even if the 30,000 people you can reach on Lemmy all vote for Timothy Greenparty.
2. A Trump victory in 2024 would not only be just as bad if not worse for the citizens of Gaza than Harris would, but also pose an existential threat to a large number of vulnerable Americans (trans people, immigrants, women seeking abortions).
3. Given the margins of victory in 2016 and 2020, Kamala might not win if leftists don't vote for her.
4. Snoozing fascism for four years is better than inviting it through the door now, and buys us time to build our defenses for when it comes back.

I'd like to focus my counterargument. Which of these statements do you disagree with?

I agree that I would like to get off of Mr. Bones' Wild Ride before it reaches the "rape is okay as long as it's happening to the right people" stop.

The 8-Bit Guy has a nice video covering the functionality of a number of such devices. They're fascinating bits of kit -- they're like calculators you can type BASIC programs into. One of them can even be hooked up to a pen plotter to make graphs on paper -- it can even graph in 3D!
