Wait. You people can’t remove the batteries from your phone? 🤨 My phone is only 2 years old and I can take off the back and remove mine whenever I want. The fuck kind of shit companies are you buying from?
Totally fair and reasonable
Most of us don’t read classics anymore. I always hated Moby Dick; it sucks so bad.
I know what little I know from watching nature documentaries and I think it’s the same with other Americans. Most of us never get to see an actual whale in our lives, let alone eat any.
Here’s the problem: everyone is fundamentally misinterpreting free speech. It doesn’t mean what people think it does: it’s not about stopping government oppression, it’s about enforcing fundamental respect for human beings, which means hate speech is banned regardless – because bigotry and hate speech by its nature censors other human beings, because it creates an environment where people are discredited and shunned by their peers for stupid reasons, denying them their right to be respected and heard. Hate speech isn’t speech, it’s censorship, and needs to be treated as a censoring act and not as speech since it’s not speech, it’s an action done with intent.
When people adopt that definition of free speech, we can go back to having our cake and eating it too and we’ll start to get back on the right path.
Huh. I must confess, as a American I know all of jack and shit about whaling and such given we don’t eat whale like that over here. Not even our ruling class eats whale.
…What does whale taste like?
I’m gonna throw this out there: if we’re gonna have freedom of speech, it has to include advocating for the violent overthrow of the government.
The people are supposed to be in control, not the government and if the people have the rhetorical means to take their government down taken away in such a manner, they’re not in control anymore. And we see where that kind of thinking leads us
I’m not asserting anything, I’m asking you a question. I have no skin in this game or underlying point; I’m asking you because you claim you’re from the area and I want to know more. So:
That’s really the only kind of whale you eat? What about the other kinds you hunt, or used to hunt?
What about the other ones?
Whales are endangered for the most part
Holy shit, and now you all are labeling OP mentally ill for voicing a valid concern and getting upset when you all do the exact same thing they were afraid you would do
You scumfucks are fucking incredible.
😨 And people are just okay with this?
Assuming it’s about control or that you can’t control it is the worst. There’s always something we can do about our problems. To think otherwise is to allow yourself to be consumed by them.
It literally wouldn’t even matter, you’ll just deny it and refuse to concede even the most minor of points because for you, debate is not a means to find truth, it’s a power play. We’ve all seen it countless times. We know your game, your patterns of behavior, and since you do not want to play fairly because you’ll know you’ll lose, you don’t get to play at all. You don’t get to participate in discussions with us, especially not me. You’re isolated to your cult now. I hope you find happiness in choosing genocide.
Holy fuck, you right-wing traitors are out in full force today, aren’t you?
No you don’t get what I’m saying, because I am explicitly telling you I am not playing your game. My ethics are my personal boundaries, not trivialities up for debate. OP wanted to know what they were, so I shared them. That does not make it open for debate, nor is my refusal to allow it to be put up to debate, up for debate.
Take the hint and go away.
Sounds like you need to get the last word to win something, and you’ll prove that you need the last word by running your mouth again. Here, go ahead:
It’s reductive because it’s not meant to convince you. It’s simply what is. You asked me why I thought it is moral and those are my reasons why, and they’re gonna stay that way whether you like it or not. They don’t have to be reasonable or sensible or in line with your worldview. You don’t have to agree with them. They don’t even have to make sense to you. They’re MY reasons, and they are valid simply because I hold them, because I say they are, because I decide what’s ethical to me and what’s not. That’s all.
And you have to put up with that whether you want to or not.
Absolutely nothing in this context, yes.
Grow up. Stop shilling for foreign powers.
