I really really really hate jimmy kimmel but also lol the right can't take a joke, this is cancel culture run amok
@vriska@lizards.live also this is one of the few 100% objectively correct things he's said
@anemone I just wish that rightoids would admit they love cancel culture when it benefits them (this is how ALL USA political discourse works and it infuriates me. believe in something. i dont even care if I hate what you believe in. actually believe in it

@Humpleupagus @anemone @vriska "oh, you need to have principles! Don't cancel the people who canceled you for far less than celebrating someone's assassination and saying they deserved it!"
It's this kind of shit that we have been putting up with to hold on to our principles for a very long time. It hasn't worked, clearly. Things continue to get worse because the principles are not the same across the board.
@Humpleupagus @anemone @beardalaxy unironically yes. trying to talk to people who can't/don't/refuse to try to understand what your position is because they think that politics is the NFL is a tremendous waste of time.
@vriska @Humpleupagus @anemone @beardalaxy To be fair the last guy that tried having an honest discussion with the left ended up catching a bullet in the neck...
@ForbiddenDreamer @anemone @Humpleupagus @beardalaxy to be fair there is something inherently darkly comedic about a guy who once said that shootings are the price we pay for the 2nd amendment getting shot underneath a huge banner that says PROVE ME WRONG on it
@vriska @ForbiddenDreamer @anemone @Humpleupagus there is, and there is also a dark irony in that he was answering a question about trans shooters, from somebody who was trying to debate him that the left wasn't violent, and we now know that was likely part of the motivation for the shooting. He was proven right in the shooting itself.
Idk if Charlie ever talked about gun issues beyond just protecting the second amendment, but guns are not the problem. We have probably the worst mental health of any country and the lowest amount of cultural homogeny. Plus, we let violent criminals just do whatever the fuck they want and get released from prison until they do something REALLY bad or die. There are a lot more broken things than just the amount of guns floating around here but the people who have those issues the most are the ones most unwilling to accept them.
@beardalaxy @Humpleupagus @anemone I love whenever a thread like this starts anyone who disagrees with the point im making assumes im OTHER TEAM despite the fact I say I hate you both equally and think all USA politics are solely designed to destroy the USA for the benefit of Israel and about 10 companies
