  • Cowardice alone will not save you. There will always be further demands to erode your freedoms and your morals and ethics. Find where your line is now or they will continue to chip away at who you are and what you care about until you fit the mold they want you to.

  • Freedom of expression is not freedom from consequences. Too many people seem to think that is the case. Sure, the government shouldn't be able to retaliate, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to just go along with what was said.

    I am guessing that you treat people differently if they say something you find offensive.

  • Correct. Yeah, if you have a newer car with GPS, it will likely also have built in communications to the car company.

    There are benefits to older, "dumber" cars. Besides enjoying knobs and buttons 😁

  • Everyone had a least 9 years to figure out who Trump is. I'd be more lenient if it was a matter of months. But it was almost a decade since he first ran.

    I know there are a lot of factors working against people (capitalism, propaganda, groupthink) but after all that time, I think they should own their decision.

    So yes, I blame them. The man talked about injecting bleach for chist's sakes. And that was all over the news while many people were home and could pay attention if they wanted to.

  • If you truly consider yourself a patriot, you will do what you can to help the people who will actually be in danger during this administration. Find orgs near you that help the marginalized and underrepresented. Volunteer. Educate others. Do whatever you are able to.

    This is not the time to retreat. This is a time for action.

  • It sounds like you haven't seen any healthy ethnically non-monogamous relationships. That's a shame. As a part of one, I've seen several others as well. It can work, if it's done for the right reasons and if all partners respect each other.

  • It doesn't seem like religion has made you very happy. Or very nice. I get that your username includes angry, and you seem to take that very seriously.

    It also seems like you're not very different from the people you claim are co-opting religion. You are cherry-picking the parts of Christianity that work well for you, while ignoring or downplaying the rest.

    I know you're not going to change your mind, but this approach certainly isn't doing much to try and convert anyone.

  • But the Bible is very inconsistent on its messages, which is exactly why it can be used in ways you don't agree with. Christianity in particular has often been used by those in power to keep their power and subjugate others. It's certainly not the only religion that has done it, but it is one of the most prominent.

    You believe what you want to, but when Christofascists are able to use the same book to push their regressive, violent policies, then maybe you should take a look at why that is.
