Oh? So we should be fine with neo-nazis being emboldened because they weren’t technically in power making decisions?

Bullshit - fight fire with fire, these people need to learn their place.

I 100% mean it - conservatives have not been punished nearly enough for what they voted for.

Bullshit, conservatives should be second class citizens

Seems like the perfect time to remind everyone right before the midterms

I’m going to treat you as if you’re not being coy dishonest, at which point - you’re better off not knowing. If you want to know more, go watch Professor Dave’s videos on him.

That being said, fascists are bad. Don’t do their job for them. If you want to tilt at windmills you’re free to do so, don’t be surprised when you get slapped in the face for it.

Inb4 you’re a Destiny viewer

Edit: ‘peak dudebro energy… shoves his foot in his mouth’ these things aren’t compliments. I’d be more worried about aligning my messaging with the fascists, which you’re 100% doing.

See I disagree, what we should be doing is reforming the police - funding alternative means of intervention with the purpose of reducing the amount of violent crime through the means of de-escalatory strategies.

The founding fathers were slavers. Police in large part were started as a result of Southern states creating units to police slaves, or rather escaped slaves and the rare black person that gained freedom “legitimately”. They’d have no problem with the idea of police as they are.

The only reason what Hasan said about 9/11 could be considered stupid is because it doesn’t paint the full picture. Much like the term ‘defund the police’ doesn’t mean ‘completely eradicate police departments across the U.S.’, saying ‘America deserved 9/11’ does not mean ‘all the innocent (powerless) people killed in the attack or as a result of the attack deserved it’.

You can accuse him of being tactless, because he is - for someone with a degree in polysci and communications you’d think he’d conjure up a better way to phrase it. Thing is, he’s not wrong.

Trying to suggest that streamers aren’t influential in current year requires you to either live under a rock or be above the age of 60. It’s like trying to suggest that YouTubers aren’t influential in 2010.

Streamers are influential. Having 40k concurrent viewers is insane, and the actual metrics behind just how insane it is ends up being pretty difficult to parse without having someone else do the analytics for you.

Last time I checked the average time a viewer actually stays in a stream ends up being a few minutes. That also heavily depends on the streamer and what kind of content they produce. Hasan pulling tens of thousands of concurrent viewers is nuts and places him in the upper echelons of the top 1% of streamers on twitch.

It’s like trying to say that Assmoldbald isn’t influential. You are just wrong, even if you hate having to admit it.

Edit: I should say, I think Hasan is peak dudebro energy and routinely shoves his foot in his mouth. That being said, the man is influential - for better or worse.

Know your place

I don’t live in America

Then you shouldn’t speak as if you’re able to vote

Maybe in commercial settings, none of the home games I’ve played ever involved protection. Ultimately there are no laws requiring glasses or helmets to be sold alongside either airsoft or paintball guns, which means it’s up to the people who buy them.

I’m not saying it’s right, mind you - airsoft/paintball effectively act as training wheels for gun safety. You should treat them the same way as a real gun, you can genuinely hurt someone if you’re not being careful.

That being said, I stand by my statement - if you’re concerned about kids you should 100% be more concerned with the inevitable confrontation with police forces across the U.S. than potentially harming someone while resisting them.

You’re right, now find enough instances of crossfire with birdshot that proves this is a regular occurrence and not a freak accident.

Edit: also the issue here is more that I said never. I acknowledge that there are freak accidents that prove exception to the rule.

Guns are scary arcane sticks that go boom, infinitely complex and unable to be deciphered - better to never touch them or try to understand the physics behind them.

Oh, you’re worried about kids?

Ok, I’ll tell you what - find me a list of kids injured by birdshot in the past 10 years and I’ll find you a list of kids killed by cops. We can compare the difference.

Also yes, outside of a freak accident it’ll feel like getting hit by airsoft pellets. Should we ban kids from playing with airsoft guns or paintball guns because they might get hit in the eye?

Yeah typically speaking what you shoot at will get hit. This is why gun safety is important, the people who unsafely shot directly at her are a hazard and shouldn’t have guns. She’s especially unlucky in the sense that she was struck in a sensitive area.

That being said, I’ve been rained on by birdshot and I’ve never had something like this happen to me. YMMV, but you couldn’t have found a more freak accident scenario to present.
