Play Nice The NM Devil's Chessboard Thread - Part II

Honestly, if my girls came out of the change room and said there was a naked man in there, I reckon I’d lose it.

So you’re not a free thinker? You just follow narratives and let people think for you?

"Free thinker".

 

[Chadwiko]

I know women who are survivors of sexual assault (one from a very young age,) and of male directed control and violence and they are very uncomfortable with the thought of people with ***** and balls in the restrooms they use.

Are you suggesting those women are being intolerant or bigoted because of their traumatic past? Are you saying they need to put up with it because that's just how things are now?

Have you ever used the term TERF?

Yes. Enthusiastically.

The biggest shift of the Left is becoming authoritarian and falling lock step in with government.

Which is why conservatives have dedicated themselves entirely to a cult of personality behind an authoritarian leader who literally and unironically praises dictators.

Sure. That makes sense. The left are the problem.

 

[Chadwiko]

Trump has a mandate and policies he campaigned on. He now has to deliver them.

I hope all the people who voted for Trump get exactly what they voted for.

I desperately hope for that.

An all time 'leopards ate my face' moment.

"Free thinker".

“A freethinker is someone who forms their own opinions and beliefs, especially about religion or politics, rather than accepting what is commonly believed and taught.”

That meme has zero relevance whatsoever.

Are you able to formulate your own opinion, or do you need a set of guidelines you have to follow? A free thinker, or critical thinker, whatever, can look at things, cypher out the Bull shit and nuance, come to a conclusion based on that form their own opinion.

The opposite of that is someone who adheres to a certain doctrine or ideology and anything that doesn’t align with that is wrong and their brain just can’t accept it.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, because it seems like you aren't aware that the term "free thinker" has lost all meaning due to how it's been co-opted by cookers/anti-vaxxers/conspiracy nuts.

It's like how North Korea calls themselves the "Democratic People's Republic" of Korea. You can call yourself whatever you want. Doesn't make it accurate.

Interesting. I had no idea… though just because some fringe people that spend their lives in the bowels of the internet have decided that if someone is a free thinker, they’re a whack job doesn’t mean I’m just going to accept that’s now what being a free thinker means.

It's like... have you heard people use the phrase "do your own research" sarcastically to make fun of conspiracy nut jobs?

Same vein.

Cry more Putin.

Allowing ATACMS after you have conscripted 10,900 North Koreans into the front lines seems like a like for like escalation.

The invisible super soldiers lol

 

[The Warlord]

Have you read the reports that they’re addicted to pr0n because it’s the first time they have proper internet access?

Its the lamest propaganda ever

NAFO started by a Nazi lol

The Russians used an ICBM on Ukraine.

This is terrifying escalation on both sides.

Did it manage to take orbit?

Did it manage to take orbit?

It appears to have been a demonstration attack. The audience not necessarily in Dnipro where it landed.

Its the lamest propaganda ever

I want to believe it so bad.

North Korea sends soldiers to fight and then someone shows them pr0n hub, spreads though the rank like wild fire…

Russian soldier Dimitri calls to a group of North Korean soldiers “Ok comrades get ready, we’re starting the assault in 2 minutes”

Do-yun “Oh for **** sake, Dimitri, she’s just got stuck in the couch”

ICC issues arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

That is how democracy is supposed to work

Finally. Israels and the US intimidation tactics have not worked thankfully.

It's important to take people's trauma seriously but there's a reason the victims of crimes don't get to decide the sentences of their perpetrators. Trauma doesn't make people behave rationally, and the idea that we should shape policy around appeasing people's irrational fears is not something that would ever be applied to other issues, and in this case it's just a bullshit justification to heap more shit on a group that gets more than enough shit already. Trans people have the right to use public facilities. They don't deserve to be put through the public humiliation of revealing something personal like that just to appease people who hate them, regardless of those people's reasons for hating them. They don't deserve to be treated like sexual assault cases waiting to happen. They don't deserve to be punished for someone else's crime because the mob has decided their bodies constitute an offense.

Maybe you just don't know any trans people but I do, this isn't some abstract woke virtue signalling shit or something, these are my friends and they don't deserve to be treated as badly as they are by the world. I especially can't ****ing stand when people who get it when it's about women, black people, gay people, palestinians, every other group still have this blind spot when it comes to trans people. I know you would never, ever, ever in your life suggest that if someone was assaulted by a black person, they'd be justified in wanting black people out of their whites only spaces, away from their drinking fountains, and only at the back of their buses forever.
