If you shout “I have inside me blood of Kings!” is a store worker required to shout “Yeah!” back?

… Heeeeeeeeeere we are!

Just look at religion for answers to that puzzle. The entire schtick is a manual for giving yourself and your friends easy outs from your constant and consistent bad behaviour

I guess that could be why; up here in Canada it’s political suicide to be openly religious (though I think the Cons will change their tune on that next election.)

As a non-American (Canadian), it’s baffling to me. Our Conservatives have been quite horrific in many decisions (like refusing to admit climate change exists, for example), but I do actually think they would turn on one of their own who was a pedophile. Maybe not in a year or so, but for now, I do believe they would. To see people celebrate these monstrous things in their leaders is terrifying.

America’s willingness to elect pedophiles/rapists to the highest positions in their country is… baffling. To then have their news not even use those words just makes me worry so much for women in the US. Like seriously, ‘sex with underage girl,’ we have specific words for that. Embarrassing.

… had sex with an underage girl…

So, rape? Underage people can’t consent, it’s rape. He’s a pedophile.

Well they replied to a different account so either they’re both you or you grossly misread what they were replying to.

“okay but women not wanting to date men is just overreacting” - a sentiment we see even here on fucking Lemmy.

We’ve dodged a lot of the usual garbage from Reddit over here, but that one definitely stuck around. The only negative comments I’ve received on any of my lemmy accounts are guys furious when you point out men are more violent partners. Like they just cannot admit that as a society the ‘boys will be boys’ mentality was used to allow a lot of awful behaviours like rape. Hell, Revenge of The Nerds has a rape scene in it and people only recently started to speak out against it.

So, sorry for the downvotes, but at least we all know it’s a bunch of insecure men. Maybe they’ll learn, maybe they won’t, but you have allies here in the mean time.

True, but the saying isn’t ‘don’t fuck crazy’, and was originally used entirely as ‘(men) don’t stick your dick in crazy (women.)’

we can make it possible for a Libertarian to win a House Seat in 2036.

They’d have to stop switching to Republicans first.

Saying person x should be shot, no jury would convict you is not ok.

Vladimir Putin should be shot, no jury will convict you.
