  • Action; became cop. Is bad. Yup, all lights green here.

    You don’t see cops as the enforcement of capital with a side gig of solving crime. He does. Just because the show doesn’t bother to dive into that aspect doesn’t mean it’s an invalid point especially if we are just talking about “goodness”.

    Here’s a better way to put it. Light would view the FBI agents as good guys due to his general views of law enforcement in general so targeting them is light showing that what he thinks is good in the world is irrelevant to his choices.

    Instead now we are arguing ideology because you don’t understand perspective in literature. Womp womp and acab




  • I want you to Google “racist town Texas” and find my home towns wikipedia page. I didn’t grow up in a liberal bubble, I very much understand their view points. They were mine for the majority of my life.

    I am also a cis white man. I am not the one directly effected or endangered by those people. But that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t treat their fight as my own because theirs is a righteous one.

    No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manor of thine own Or of thine friend’s were. Each man’s death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.

    In short. Maybe it is not me who is too sensitive, but you who is too insensitive. Perhaps you should spend less time thinking about how you should give passes to offenses in your life and more about the people you fail when you let their detractors say what they want unchallenged. Grow a spine. Stand for something.









  • Before I too let the conversation die I just want to point out how much you devalue “political scare tactics” like they have no effect and can be basically ignored by its targets with no repercussions. I want you to think on that for a while. Figure out yourself why that is a self evidently silly thing to say when discussing how they redefined communist to mean traitor and how that means they actually didn’t ban communism.

    I bet your a real big fan of the children’s game “I’m not touching you”



  • Would it be? True it’s not communist but also China doesn’t claim to be. They claim it as an aspiration not as a current state of affairs. However we are random internet people. Are we really going to explain to every dumbass how China isn’t communist, only a vanguard state hoping to evolve into one in the future according to the chain of events described in the communist manifesto?

    No. Cause that’s a waste of time. Being angry that all that context wasn’t added is pedantic because we ain’t operating with strict definitions that everyone agrees to. We are working with cultural vibe checks. And as far as culture is concerned, China is communist.
