I don’t understand that. What did Democrats do or say to make you claim they’re “revolving around playing victim and identity politics”? Could you give some examples of that behavior?

I mean, maybe I am too far left or just too European, but from my POV it clearly looks as if it’s the rightwingers who are doing their part of identity politics by fighting the “woke” people vigorously.

While Democrats just want minorities and disadvantaged groups to enjoy the same rights as everybody else. Which I would appreciate.

That’s kind of true from a moral viewpoint. But those are of no good because they don’t change anything.

The Democratic Party is a spectrum from social democratic to pretty conservative politicians, no fascists.

I think Bernie Sanders is quite on the left even by European standards. But he’s not a communist.

If you want more left politics vote progressive Democrats in every election, especially those local and regional ones. That’s the way to get a left party in the USA. And that will make a more left democratic candidate for president possible and eventually some left governers and a left President.

Emotional it’s a totally proportional response according to what the pranksters did to him. Humiliating people can easily provoke them to act aggressively. Especially people of low status who can’t afford a lawsuit. Every police officer knows that.

But of course a human society should have laws to prevent its members from this kind of situations.

It should be illegal to provoke, assault, harass, disrespect , threaten, or humiliate anybody in the way those pranksters did.

And it should be illegal for any random guy to carry a loaded and unlocked gun around in his pocket.

But because neither is illegal in the United States, the number of gun victims there is more similar to that in war zones.

And obviously none of the Americans in this thread give a shit about the social problematics of the case and rather fight irreconcilably over defending or blaming the shooter.

Just another reminder how stupid American laws on weapons are. In every normal country this couldn’t happen because that guy wouldn’t have a gun in the first place. It would have ended in a fight or in the shooter suing the prankster and getting a lot of money while the prankster would be told by court to stop this stupid pranks.

But if he did it to give the representatives the opportunity to read the bill they were about to vote on to make sure that they’re not being tricked by the Republicans — then he was supporting Congress

Well, it’s a start. No money for federal judiciary, federal House, federal Senate, and eventually federal Presidency. And federal law enforcement, and federal military. News from the Florida Man

Socialism is when you don’t have to do alienated work. And when noone else has to. Of course the productivity will be higher if you share the means of production with others. But it’s perfectly fine to work on your own too and harvest the fruit of your work. As you know, nobody gets rich by his own hands work, but you can get along. Capitalist exploitation starts when other people work for you and when you take the added value for your own benefits.

I think that’s a bad idea. Big cities are far better equipped for the integration of strangers. Ever asked yourself why there are so many homeless people in Rome but not in the towns and villages? (Probably except when there was an earthquake happening in the small town)

You’re stating what the judge just has confirmed, are you aware of that? That is unless you mean that instead it should be politicians to rule over what is medically necessary. Which would sound way too ridiculous to me, even if assuming you’re a typical Republican hypocrite.

„The climate crisis is here already.“

No. A crisis is a temporary event that you enter and exit, strengthened by many lessons learned and challenges overcome, if you’re lucky.

The climate catastrophe, on the other hand, will inexorably and irreversibly turn our world upside down forever, will kill a vast amount of people and destroy trillions of material value.

The only question is whether we will manage to contain it to an extent that our civilization is not being destroyed to the ground. Every day we go on ignoring this fact is rising the risk of fucking this up completely.

It’s just indication to the fact, that the biggest part of our assumed development, our democracy, or our rule of reason is but a delusion.

It’s the people vs the shooter. And let’s be honest, eventually the people of the USA is at least as guilty of this and all the other crimes like this as the actual shooter.

Donald Trump was so close to releasing a 100-page-report on the 2020 election fraud in Georgia. That’s obviously PROOF that there was in FACT an election FRAUD taking place in 2020 in Georgia!

This is a very fine comment.

At least that’s what the current hegemon says to the world.

“Someone always looks like someone else.”

That’s so true. In Berlin, Germany, a boar became breaking news and public warning by looking like a lion!

How about Sean Connery?
