Arguing that it’s a false dichotomy makes me think you don’t actually care, you’re just trying to win an internet argument.

It’s been all over the news in recent weeks that ICE outright executed people in the street. And it’s commonly known that police in this country shoot first and ask questions later as policy.

I can only assume you think we can reform the police in it’s current form (which is not true), or you’re a troll. Doesn’t matter which, I’m not gonna keep arguing with you.

My comment was specific to the U.S. Police do not make us safer. That’s my opinion. You are free to have a different opinion. I think you’re wrong.

I don’t think so, happens all the time in the U.S.

What bothers me is that we actually have people willing to do that stuff. Means they are morally bankrupt enough to cover this stuff up without a thought.

Capitalists are so annoying. The hubris to assume we can accelerate climate change and ignore it and everything will just be hunky dory. It’s astounding these ding dongs think they’re outside the Earth system and not a part of it.

There is no problem here.

Right, police murdering you in cold blood bcz you didn’t comply with their orders is so much better.

No it’s not. We started organizing police in the U.S. to protect the property and goods of the wealthy. It’s been that way from the beginning. In fact, it’s pretty much that way everywhere, we are just more blatant about it serving that function in the U.S.

No, the post is very clear. The press is minimizing what happened. It doesn’t at all invite a terminology discussion. You’re being downvoted to all hell bcz you’ve doubled down on your stance no matter who you are talking too.

Why are you trying to inject a terminology discussion into this? Everybody here is clear on what was going on. These were children who were trafficked as sex slaves. It isn’t a debate. You’re either part of a troll farm, or just a willfully dense individual with no actual social skills.

This made me felt icky just reading it. The fact that you think there’s even a modicum of defense of this amazes me.

A lot of humans will also die in the next 20 years due to climate change. It’s funny you think we’re just gonna keep on keeping on once climate change gets really bad everywhere.

What i don’t get is how Trump was supposedly in the Epstein files long before becoming president, and they just chose to do nothing? They could have arrested him and locked his ass up just like everyone else.

Just another reminder that there are two sets of laws, one for the rich, and one for the rest of us.

Confidently wrong, that seems about right. you know this is a science sub right? If I was a mod here I would remove about half of your comments for being belligerent and argumentative. This isn’t even about your opinion, you’re just making this comment section hostile and unwelcome to discourse.

If you actually wanted to have a discussion it would be different.

I mean, anybody can comment. I remember back when I regularly used reddit seeing wildy incorrect statements on the science community, and then when I would occasionally correct people on the stuff I actually am an expert on, I’d get downvoted for it, while the original post continued to get upvoted.

People often assume upvotes means they’re right. And humans naturally seek social approval and acceptance, so it’s not that surprising.

All I’m saying is don’t take it personal. It’s unfortunate to see stuff like that. But you can’t really stop it, and the alternative is censoring them, which I’m not a fan of either bcz they didn’t do anything egregious or try to spread misinformation.

A bit more expensive? I was able to get a smart tv for like 800 bucks. The same equivalent dumb tv would have been a few thousand dollars and Best Buy said they would only sell it to business accounts which was infuriating to read.

Right… a tool that is destroying our planet all in the name of “the economy”.

Who cares what business problems AI solves. Humans don’t need to exist to serve capital. It should always be the other way around. That’s one of the reasons we are in this shitty capitalist hell hole, everyone has been indoctrinated into thinking of everything in terms of It’s economic benefit.

Great communication there champ. Makes me really want to keep having a conversation with you.
