I am a cis hetero male. Last time I tried hinge, it was exclusively matching me with lesbians. Not bisexual women - women who have zero interest in men at all. Which unfortunately is kind of my type.

The people who make these kinds of complaints don't even know what they really want. They hold some kind of version of a product in their head for years during it's development phase and when it inevitably is not somehow pulled straight from their imagination via arcane magic, they have a hissy fit.

"You're the best around / nothing's gonna ever gonna keep you down"

Fascists can only thrive out of disorder and chaos. They make a big show of order being their objective but when they have power they invariably don't know how to handle it like adults, and everything becomes a shoving match even with themselves.

"His" people, maybe. THE people, never.

When an unedited clip of him commiting a crime isn't enough evidence of a crime, you know something is up.

The history of policing isn't exactly illustrious despite what cop shows and other copaganda would have you believe.

You may as well ask who is control of the Mafia.

Like he's the one who is out in the streets fighting the fascists. He invites facists on his podcast. Give me a break.

Wow he must have been *so afraid* of the journalist he tried to shoot in the back.

So shocking to see profiteering evangelicals turning out to be hypocrites and abusers. Whodathunk.

There it is. America by definition as it stands will never be anything other than a white supremacist nation.

I'm immediately reminded of the Marissa Alexander case. She didn't even shoot anyone, just fired a warning shot. 20 years. For a warning shot.

I don't want you to think I'm discounting this, because I'm not. I know this shit goes on. And I'm not some complete pacifist either. I don't know the answer.

If this is the conclusion you've come to then I don't think I have.

Yeah, truth - I'm not against self defense. But guns are very definitive in their outcome. To be obvious, people die. There isn't much walking back from it.

I get that - the problem is, the state is watching over it all, has all the power, and can and will squish or protect as it deems fit. Currently, the state favours those right-wing extremists. There is still enough of an illusion to maintain of a free country but it's being held by a thread.

Once a slave state, always a slave state, right?

Best case scenario, I guess? Grim, really.
I mean there are enough guns to arm everyone several times over but the state has bombs, right?

It's the great contradiction about living in America that I think everyone outside of it, including myself, struggles to understand.

I'm sorry that this dialogue has failed so badly. This isn't my intention. Whatever I've said that has led you to this interpretation, it's a mistake.

No - guns upon guns is escalation. That is what I am saying. Maybe it looks different outside of the US, but that's how I see it. I'm not blaming you for this nightmare you are living in. You live inside a sick nation and I don't know the answer to it, but I don't know how more guns will fix it.

That's a frankly amazing conclusion to come to from what I said, which is that I don't like violence (controversial point!) and worry about the effects of escalating violence, on minority groups who are already under greater scrutiny under a fascistic regime that holds all the cards against them.

America seems to yearn for fascism and always has done, one way or another. It's the ultimate conclusion of capitalism, which of course is the real beating heart of the USA. Everything else serves it.

We are all "discoursing", and I already expressed my horror at the situation.
