  • I understand what you're saying. The answer is yes, we choose when violence is justified.

    Lemmy doesn't do well with nuanced discussion. The communication dilemma present is the lack of the bridge between where one party in the discussion wants to continue narrowing the parameters of discussion until we are left with a binary choice (the quantum side of discussion) and the other party wants to keep the discussion broad and cognizant of all the variables (the general relativity side of discussion).

    Both sides have valid reasons for existing. Usually you do have to narrow parameters in order to actually come up with a solution or action to implement. Similarly to how in a valid experiment you attempt to control all variables except what you're testing. But you also have to be aware of all the variables in the first place to adequately control them.

  • Everyone should spread the word on Jury Nullification. The way society is heading, we're going to need it sooner or later. It needs to be common knowledge cuz they tend to throw ppl out of court for knowing about it or talking about it.

  • Because they have a tendency to not take accountability. Nothing is ever their fault, there's always an excuse, there's never an unqualified apology. If you are an exception to the rule, good on you.

    I know two people in my life with NPD. One person is capable about having conversations about how he impacts the group socially. The other has just been cut out of my life permanently for refusing to address his issues.

  • That's a lot of response to something I'm not even sure I was talking about. My point is the Democratic Party as a whole is lacking in tactics and cohesive strategy. The Spoiler Effect is a real thing, not some imagined phenomenon and because voters are largely uneducated about that fact it's a big issue that is solved by people like me pointing it out. Unless you are arguing the spoiler effect does not exist, I don't think there's much to discuss.

  • And that's what many of us are tired of. This stupid noble sentiment where we jerk each other off about how we lost the right way, the honorable way. Because it just ignores pragmatic strategy and the fact that we lost. And when we lose, how does that help anyone? Congrats, SCOTUS stacked for generations.

    The reality is we have a FPTP voting system. In such a system, two party control is all but guaranteed mathematically. It looks binary because IT IS BINARY.

  • Because people are tribalistic and paint with a very wide brush. And we have a FPTP two party system. So like it or not, liberal, left, feminist, etc memes all get lumped together. It's up to us to reign in the crazy on our own side lest we look crazy by proxy. Or replace crazy with venom, or whatever you want to call it that is making young men feel more welcome on right.

    It's like that line from the Newsroom. "You know why people hate liberals? Because you lose. If liberals are so smart how come they lose so god damned always?"

    I'm on the left and I'm tired of getting my ass kicked because my own party has no strategic or tactical sense, and no unity to rally us. Just infighting and giving the right easy wins and plentiful sticks to beat us with.

  • No it won't. That's not the point though. You talk as if humans are wholly rational. All I'm pointing out is the left are masters of shooting themselves in the foot with how they message and present themselves.

    You catch more flies with honey and all that.

  • Everything you said is true. And will not get you victory. That's my point. Uncomfortable truths aren't going to get votes. Hope does.

    The right may be liars but their message is essentially pining for better times past.

    I am pointing out the uncomfortable truth that we are losing young men to the right, and you guys just down vote instead of face the truth. Hypocrisy.
