  • No comments on the E-Files, just imagine how a normal person would projectile vomit thinking about any of those people being free.

    My cat would have a more sensible argument! Catnip is more important than climate change. (This is irrelevant, my cat requested its inclusion)

    “The liberal response” is information projected by corporations and media. Things like trying to make (poorly made) paper straws cool. Thats a media push. Not very many actual liberals think like that. A better method would be getting rid of Supertrawlers in international waters. Their nets make up most of the trash in our ocean. Ridiculous things like paper straws have a form of survivorship bias due to its …ridiculousness.

    Make things like using heavy crude, supertrawlers, and government observation datacenters internationally illegal, with serious punishments like company dissolution, and long prison sentences that have no method of appeal. Pretty easy 3 to get rid of and it removes most gas/oil based pollution, most trash in the ocean, and every awful thing the government observation datacenters do. Clean water wasting, injury causing intense sound, energy grid destroying, town destroying… yeah government observation datacenters are great too.

    I have a lot of that turned off, I hadnt realized it was such an issue to others. I guess I am pretty likely to fiddle with things.

    Support of elgooG is a good reason to convert to another browser.

    Cromite does sound more appealing now, I usually have around 50 tabs open, so I dont know how it would handle that. But its definitely worth my time to look into.

    Thanks for an actual response! I will probably change my browser because of your recommendations and explanation of why those alternatives are better. I guess Ill do that during lunch or when I get home from work.

    … Definitely looking up Floorp because it seems like a great thing to name a browser

    Its more up to you to say what its problems are.

    Claims need to be supported, you dont try to counter an unsubstantiated claim.

    My claim: I have never had any ads on brave. Seems fine to me.

    Claim of the poster: The creator of the browser is homophobic and apparently some people encounter advertisements.

    Your claim, thusfar: How is it a good browser?

    I will respond, assuming I understand your claim that has no supporting or explanatory statements: No ads.

    Heres my response to the claim: Is the browser bad, or is the creator of the browser bad?



  • Absolutely.

    I don’t want this to happen again. I don’t want to be strongarmed into voting for a reprehensible piece of genocidal shit only to have the genocide cult blame me anyway.

    I think you just assume more people are pro-genocide than there are. Its just about combativeness, a good position is undermined when its put out negatively. You have good positions (imo) other than thinking a ton of people are pro-genocide/indifferent(and thus pro-genocide) and … maybe that their minds arent able to be changed? Or something, its very negative nonetheless. Thats part of protesting. Changing minds. And informing. A lot of people pay zero attention to politics.

    “Schumer has been around forever so he must care” … and then mysteriously a democrat (totally not a scapegoat) will vote with the republicans for some new evil shit.

    We were forced into the 2 party system even further than just republicans and democrats, which was already a 2 way divide (ignoring eeeeevvveryone else) to support Netanyahu or support Netanyahu and multiple other dictators, along with re-electing our own Goodly Bestest Dictator.



  • “Not shitty all the time” is still not comparable to Trump. He literally sits in his own shit. The electorate was successfully stopped in multiple ways, including the explosion closer to the election about Palestine. Propoganda was used to push it crazy hard due to its volatility being so popular (in terms of clicks/views/whatever). I still stand by the point you probably wouldve held which is that we can protest to change minds. Larger protests against Harris and the USA as a whole continuing to support a genocide would have been more effective for keeping democracy around a little longer. We wouldnt get shot in the street for dancing in costumes or be consideres terrorists for protesting for LGBTQIA+ rights, as well.


  • Ahh so thats what you mean- Indifferent people and idiots. You could say something more along the lines of “Indifference has led to genocide over and over. Harris did not oppose a genocide, relying on that indifference. Dont be indifferent.” Its longer than “you support genocide”, but its nicer and gets the same basic point across. “Dont support genocide” is also an option, attacking the people whos’ minds you want to change/could change isnt productive.



  • Blaming people who noticed and did… what exactly? I consider democrats to be what republicans probably should be. I also think we have gotten repeatedly screwed. Ford v Dodge, Cit U, “trickledown ec.”, etc, those are extremely obvious indicators of Rulers vs Peasants being the goal over and over. Both sides are supported by different evils, both are still evil. Both want some form of a surveillance state. Both want to reduce the power of the voter. Senators exist still. Thats a giant middle finger to people who arent born with a silver spoon already in their intestinal tract.


  • “You don’t seem to mind”

    Another random and unjustified poke/whatever. You should realize at this point that Im in favour of being able to reason with people instead of the other option of a person who literally attempted to overthrow the government. We were intentionally given a very bad pick between 2, but it was frozen airline food chicken vs shattered glass and nails. At least you eat the chicken and change it to make it less awful. Stomaching ≠ supporting, which you have indicated already with your statement of having voted for Harris.



  • This I can somewhat agree with. Thats why I said we need a new method of voting. Supporting someone for being “less murdery” is insane. It doesnt mean you or I, who voted for (despite having issues with) Harris, are evil or support genocide.

    Undefined centrist democrats are also not a monolith, saying they all have the same opinions says a lot of weird stuff about you that Im sure arent true. You just havent thought about how youre classifying “enemies” or how you view groups who generally disagree with you.

    Its like hating pizza because some of them have pineapples on them, or because some are too cheesy. Well, thats a chill version at least.

    Unless supporting genocide and wanting to be represented by genocidal monsters is the only qualifier? Id agree with you there, but still say tone down the agressive “you must like genocide” meter.


  • Which centrists? You direct that at everyone who is, and who you think is, a “centrist”, without defining a set of positions you believe they have. Why are they all a genocide supporting monolith? Or are you taking people and assuming many things about them like another group tends to towards specific races?

    Define, dont attack. Debate over argument. Conversation over debate. No reason to wreck your position with exaggerated responses and statements. The world isnt a strawman, my dude.


  • You certainly seem to say it a lot.

    No, because I only went through to troll you. I dont have the time to fart around doing this. If you would calm down and be less extreme in your retorts to people, it wouldnt be so bad. Conversations, not debates or arguments, will change many more minds.

    I think you would agree that Israel, especially in its current form, is evil to an insane degree. They completely destroyed the people who were displaced from their homes for Israel to be formed in the first place. Before the initial bombings or fights of any description, Israels existence was already an affront to equality, just due to that land theft. Palestinians have dealt with an unimaginable amount of multigenerational suffering and torment.

    A “solution” after the war shouldnt have been more racism and destruction.
