I’m not asking for your emotional or instinctive response to the situation, I’m asking you who you hold accountable. Your response seems to hold a tool (hammer/cop) instead of the thing that used it to hurt you(criminal/wealthy).

Yes, you don’t care, I get it. You can’t engage with serious shit so why the fuck are you responding? There will always be another tool, always be another way to hurt people, stop fucking focusing on the tool and go after the person using it. So exhausting trying to teach morons unwilling to learn.

Yeah it’s hard to stay consistent when warped logic is applied to different scenarios. I’ll spell it out for you, Mr. White.

If a murderer uses a hammer to murder, you don’t ban hammers, you go after the murderer. So then why when the wealthy use the police as a tool, you try to ban police, instead of going after the wealthy?

Could be, and while it sounds profound on the surface, it falls apart when you realize diplomacy is a daily occurance. I can’t even comprehend how many horrible things have been completely avoided due to tactful diplomacy by people we may never know the names of.

google “how to form a rebuttal” 👍

Wonderful, then you’d agree we should get rid of all hammers then too right? Clearly it’s the fault of the tool, not the one wielding it.

The seas were made for sailing and come hell or high water I shall sail them all.

So when a man hits you over the head, you go after the hammer?

The handle even says he’s the real one. Scary stuff.

has been bombarded with reactions (both good and bad)

Are articles just school essays with a minimum word count?

I’m 14 and that’s deep. Way to sidestep the actual point.

The counter to hypocrisy is to be principled, yet that sign seems to accuse people of the exact thing it represents. I’ll ask again, if your enemies are oppressors, does that make you a self-claimed freedom fighter? Rebel? Or something less flattering - Terrorist.

So close to being self aware. What happens when you reverse the roles with the same logic then? Judging a police force for their most violent cops but not judging a demonstration for their most violent participants is what? Are you suddenly a ‘freedom fighter’ because you believe your cause is just? History proves the worst people always think their path forward is the righteous one. I really wish we’d stop getting distracted by this shit and fight against the real oppressors of us all: The wealthy.

Three paragraphs to one line. I know you might have trouble with size comparisons, but do your best little guy.

It looks like I need to send my engineer into it for a science based objective. Bro actually lives there.

You should learn how to structure a retort.

Online communities are hostile. Period. Stop making everything gendered.

Because statistics like those often ignore the fact the water they’re calculating is inaccessible for other uses. They calculate the rainwater used to make the grass grow, water we don’t collect nor have available for other uses, but it makes the number higher and shocking. If you see “14,000 gallons of water per cow” you think that’s how much water we’ve “lost” when in reality, it’s a massive bucket of rainwater they’re drinking out of, not a hit to our irrigation or water treatment facilities.

It’s a misleading statistic meant to shock and manipulate you into a specific way of thinking, a lot like your original comment. I don’t give a shit how much rainwater a cow drinks, I care about how much is being pulled from local irrigation. Rainwater is going to lay in the dirt and evaporate anyway so why is that being calculated? If the answer to how much water is being pulled from our infrastructure is nearly zero, that’s how many fucks I dedicate to it.

Should datacenters be operating in silicon valley where water is already scarce? No. But people shouldn’t also be living in a fucking desert, overdrawing from the river that lets anyone live there, so maybe they should move. Not like they can’t afford to.

When HOA Karens actually move up in the world only to fuck it up for a larger area.

Reminds me of how the “1800 gallons for one burger” statistic uses annual rainfall to calculate that as if it was captured, stored, and used from our kitchen sinks.

No no, include Ben Shapiro debating college students because people his age eviserate his points.
