Everyone will call you friend as long as you agree with them. And libs punch Nazis. Are you a Nazi?

You mean like "shitlib"?

Because there's nothing to understand. Have the day you deserve!

No, it doesn't. Just repeating a statement, slightly modified, doesn't mean it makes sense.

After I saw that issue, I attempted to build Ventoy from source. After making numerous modifications and getting only the first couple components built, I got tired of it and quit. I've made some modifications to glim and use that instead, although it's still not as easy as Ventoy. But I don't trust Ventoy if I can't build it myself.

Further, when @vkc@linuxmom.net made some criticisms of Ventoy in one of her YouTube videos, she was subjected to a harassment campaign, and others told her the same happened to them. That pushed me from not trusting Ventoy to actively distrusting it.

That makes no sense

I guess it was too soon for me to put my cope ear bandage back on

Then the likely outcome of your actions is at odds with your stated goal of forcing the two major parties to shift their platforms over time.

AIPAC is funded by Israel, Republicans, and Democrats, so you can't draw any strong conclusions about party affiliation from involvement in AIPAC alone. Further, AIPAC isn't the only, or even the biggest, donor to Biden and Harris, so claiming they're "bought and paid for" strains credulity.

MAGA isn't solely characterized by Zionism, and not all Zionists are MAGA, so going from "Zionism" to "MAGA" is an unsubstantiated leap.

Finally, receiving donations from a death cult does not make one part of a death cult. Morally reprehensible? Yes.

That's easy for you to fix

The Yellow Wallpaper caused my first panic attack (not to knock the story itself; it's an important feminist work)

That's laudable, but the way to do that is to vote in primaries, not to vote third party in the general election

They might label some people incorrectly as russian agents, but the reality is that there is a concerted effort by russia to undermine the US democracy, mostly directed at the Democratic Party, and making some mistakes doesn't make them delusional.

It's pretty hard to prosecute propaganda in the US due to the First Amendment, so it's not accurate to say that just because the Greens can run, they must not be russian agents.

The concern about the Greens is eminently logical: they are never going to win, so the best they can do is take votes from the Democrats, allowing the fascists to win. This is in fact what happened in the election of Polk, leading to the Mexican-American war and the theft of Texas from Mexico, which was then admitted as an additional slave state. Further, the Greens do little to nothing other than run in big national races, so it's not a leap to think they're deliberately running a spoiler campaign.

Finally, none of that has anything to do with the silly attempt to label Democrats as "Blue MAGA", since MAGA is a quasi-religious fascist personality cult, none of which can be credibly attributed to Democrats.

Blue MAGA

Lol. Lmao, even

We do blame those who actually vote for the fascist. We also blame those who effectively vote for the fascist by not voting for the only actual alternative. Your vote is not about you; its about the system you're in. Making material change means working with what you have, instead of voting in a way to preserve a personal aesthetic.

You're already in error to ask for support for positions based on the Bible, because the Church determines the Bible's meaning, not the other way around. If you're evaluating claims against what you think the Bible means, your religion is based on yourself, not on God's Church, and you are a heretic and stand condemned.

The reasons for Christ's death are deeper matters to discuss with those in the Church. The Church is responsible for salvation because it was ordained by God through Christ to be His physical manifestation in the world; there is no other way to Him.

You say you're part of "a church." But there is only one Church, founded by the apostles, and if you were part of the true church, you wouldn't call it "a" church.

I'm not trolling. Matthew 13:13-15.

I don't have a "version" of Christianity; I follow the truth. Why are you so concerned with my identity? Are you unable to engage with true ideas without putting the speaker into a comfortable box?

Of course you don't have the right frame of reference to understand because your mind is steeped in heresy. You think you can steal the Bible from the religion that it belongs to and just decide what it means for yourself, but it doesn't work that way. God ordained his Church as his representative in the world, and only through that Church can you be saved. The Church is the only one who can interpret the Bible, and outside the Church you stand condemned.

It's false that your heresy has existed for 2000 years; it's only been the last few hundred. Salvation is through the Church, not through Christ, and outside the church you're damned. Sorry.
