lol being called a fascist by some career politician ghoul that voted for the iraq invasion, cispa, the current genocide, and god knows what other bullshit. Like the amount of political murder this mf has a hand in..

His main function in Congress is funding the military and weapons sales.

Sounds like a good, unbiased person to comment on the US sending weapons to a country engaged in ethnic cleansing

Asked what kind of protest might be appropriate, Smith cited a recent instance in an armed services hearing in which “people came in and they didn’t say anything, they just held up bloody hands. And the chairman noticed that and said, ‘You can’t do that, you’re out, and they got up and left.”

This is why satire is dead

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So even the words they invented have no meaning anymore

They already deep-sixed MeToo in part for Biden, they don't have actual principles

Yes, the totalitarians are...20 year old college students who hold no actual power besides collectively being loud and demonstrating in the hopes that it's disruptive enough to invoke change. Not the jackbooted thugs beating them with billy clubs and throwing them in a van.

Their mean words and angry chants are like drone strikes on apartment buildings. Imagine if that happened in your neighborhood. They should find something important to protest about

TIL that political opinions are like a globe and when you go left enough you become a fascist.

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you just invent the ‘political sphere’?

if you don’t believe in horseshoe theory you are basically a flat earther!

[–] hexinvictus@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Well apparently Congressman Adam Smith got to it first

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Protesters, Smith said, “would say, ‘Children are dying. This is a huge humanitarian crisis.’ And they’re right about that … and by the way, I do have some sympathy with these people. If there are members of Congress who won’t meet with them, I meet with them. All the time. So they have an opportunity to be heard. They’re not trying to be heard. They’re trying to silence people who disagree with them.”

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

It is kind of infuriating how they are always framing protest as wanting to be "heard", with the unspoken addition "and then ignored".

No, people are protesting because they want the genocide to stop, not because they want some Eichmann in a suit to smile and nod politely at them for five minutes.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Children are dying.

I do have some sympathy with these people.

Banger

They're trying to silence those who disagree! About children being murdered!
