The people defending this as the Dems getting outmaneuvered is... not inspiring!

Just want to make sure I got this straight: thanking ICE is meaningless and no big deal. But saying "I don't think you should publicly thank ICE" is both "freaking out" and "fascist collaboration."
It's your quibble with the whole thing that's incoherent and meaningless.

Gonna go out on a limb that there is a not-insignificant part of Dem constituency that's seen their families and communities disrupted that receives a very particular message when they see their elected officials thank ICE.

What is the point of considering political leadership as an act of service if you're going to treat them as if they're above reproach. Service to whom, Mr. "Church of Civic Duty??"

Poseidon warred against the Titans and often took sacrifices of bull.
The oceangate submersible was helmed by a venture capitalist who named it the Titan.
His hunger may be sated for a good while.

What evidence then, is there to suggest today's will be less effective without it, as is his implication?

I understand the compulsion to leap when you think someone is engaging in a rhetorical fallacy, but I didn't ask anyone to prove anything, I asked someone to support a claim.

Have you considered that the professional law enforcement individual you are picturing in your mind's eye was drawn there by fictional media

Genuine question here: I feel like you asserted that the successes of other movements were measurably bolstered by the deliberate inclusion of American imagery, and that feels like a pretty bold claim. Can you claim that they'd have failed or faltered otherwise?

Somehow this fuckin guy has this weird power that's makes people hear whatever they want and completely ignore the things he's plainly said

That's it. If he considers himself a recognized authority of note and feels compelled to quibble over a decentralized protest's optics because of how the hoi polloi will perceive it instead of using his platform and news media access to influence that perception, what is he really accomplishing?

Business Insider is always blaming these things on me!

Hang on a second, you've got over 300k followers on this platform alone. If you really care, why are you participating in this useless optics policing? Maybe that's a platform better spent communicating to the "middle" that flags aren't relevant to why this brutality is bad.

Anyone who sees the state brutalizing anyone unprompted and thinks it's less bad because of the flag they're holding is probably pretty fuckin racist

The "distraction" framing is not only stupid, but completely useless. Why would anyone question that a petty authoritarian asshole would earnestly want to do more than one shitty thing at a time, and what does it matter regarding one's response to either of them?

Damn, you'd think you'd have the self-awareness to recognize that that exact sort of feckless sentiment is precisely what pushes folks like the op away

Felt so lucky to have gotten to see this in a theater knowing only the director, lead actor, and that it was a period film. Such a rad movie.
