I don't know why either. But my guess is he was being chased for shouting the N word at a BLM protest. Just a guess though. I doubt he was being cordial.

"enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others"

I think it's an apt term for watching leopards eating the faces of their allies.

Edit: for those unfamiliar with the reference, here's a rundown of The Leopards Eating Faces Party.

  • Leopards Eating People's Faces Party

"Leopards Eating People's Faces Party refers to a parody of regretful voters who vote for cruel and unjust policies (and politicians) and are then surprised when their own lives become worse as a result. It has been commonly used to parody regretful Brexit and Trump voters."

How is your guess any better than the guess of some conservative who believes he was being attacked by criminals and had the right to defend himself?

It's not any better than anyone else's. I never claimed it was. That's why I reiterated that is was an opinion guess rather than fact.

I never said my guess was more valid than others. If you feel I worded it that way then that's on you. I was just saying what I felt regardless of what others feel on the subject.

Edit: opinion to guess correction

I'm just posting my opinions online like the rest of us.

What's the point of guessing like this then?

I just felt like it.

The "pocket" that he was supposed to open to show proof was the file(s) he claimed had proof of election fraud. When he opened the files there was no proof, just unrelated data and gibberish.

They're definitely going to wait until after the election to make that decision. If Trump wins they'll say it's allowed; if Biden wins they'll say it's not allowed.

No.

I'm sorry for interjecting such a random reference into the conversation, but it just popped into my head right then. And I'm weird so...

Edit: my friend has a Maine Coon. I'll ask if it's a polydactyl. Interesting that it has that genetic trait.

as soon as you enter the country the murderous part of your brain detaches from the rest and slides into your mouth, which explains the way they talk.

That made me actually laugh out loud. Thanks; I needed that.

@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

Yes.

But in all seriousness, Linkerbaan is an obvious bad faith actor. They're actually campaigning for Trump by trying to get people to not vote for Biden.

irreticent ,
@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

It might not even be that hard. Look how easily they're manipulated by Trump.

irreticent ,
@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

givesomefucks does this in every single thread that remotely mentions Trump or Biden

Linkerbaan is the same way. It's so obvious they have an agenda.

"Then also to he would do something rediculous each day so it was hard for them to have time and cover the previous stuff more in depth."

It's not exactly the same but that tactic reminds me of the Gish Gallop technique.

"The Gish gallop is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments. Gish galloping prioritizes the quantity of the galloper's arguments at the expense of their quality."

When Obama had the supermajority for a brief time in 2008 (70ish days IIRC) we got the ACA. It was watered down a little but but it still helps a lot of people.

No, I just didn't vote hard enough. I really tried, too.

irreticent ,
@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

No, what's actually happening here is that you are just pretending that a third party candidate has a chance of winning in a FPTP voting system.

Just admit that you've been campaigning for Trump by trying to get people to not vote for Biden. It's obvious to anyone paying attention.

I think the person that keeps arguing that this was justified is one of the "the pain is the point" people. They just want to have an excuse to hurt someone.

Sorry for my off-topic comment/question but I have been curious about this for a while and never got around to asking.

I see you're on a Mastodon instance but are commenting on a Lemmy post. How can you see Lemmy from your instance? Maybe I need to play with the web interface more, but I usually use my mobile device/apps to access Mastodon (Tusky app) and Lemmy (Boost app). Maybe my apps don't support seeing Toots from Boost, and seeing Lemmy posts from Tusky.

Is it only possible via a web browser and if so, how? I'm not too familiar with the web interface.

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have on this off-topic!

Edit: I just thought about a possibility... you might be using your Mastodon login in Lemmy (does it allow that?) so when you use lemmy it looks like your browsing from Mastodon but you're really in Lemmy with a Mastodon account. Is that how it works?

I just read every comment on this post and you might be a bit mistaken about how much "normalization and justification for violence" is actually going on here. Everyone, aside from one person (Guydht), is condemning this abuse of force. Everyone.

Just because that one person was very vocal about their opinion doesn't mean that there was a plethora is of commenters agreeing with him.

Edit: typo.

irreticent ,
@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly. I read all of the current comments and only counted one person defending the abuse of power. It was a very vocal person, but just one person.

irreticent ,
@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

It was very helpful, thanks!

I didn't realize that there are people that actually think you need to meet a politician in person for them to change your life for the better. I've never met a politician in person, ever, and have still had some nice quality of life improvements over the last couple of decades.

But you ignored what I said about Silicon Valley being an extreme case.

That's because they're not arguing in good faith.

irreticent ,
@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

Who's not arguing in good faith?

The one who starts a comment with such a condescending tone. Honey, you seem like the bad guy here.

Fascinating bit of history, thanks!
