Alex Jones agrees to liquidate his assets to pay Sandy Hook families, in move that would end his ownership of Infowars (www.cnn.com)

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Thursday moved to liquidate his personal assets, agreeing to demands from the families of Sandy Hook victims whom he owes more than $1.5 billion in damages over his lies about the 2012 school massacre....

Why would that make anyone panic unless they thought by ‘horny zombies,’ the cicadas were going to rape them and then eat their brains. Which… they’re not that big. You can step on them.

This particular victim, unfortunately, agreed to meet at a private address.

Meeting in public for the first one or two times would probably be a lot safer.

Sorry, CNN. You’re never going to get Americans with their short attention span to watch a game that takes days to play.

America watches football. Each step in the game lasts about four seconds and there’s lots of pausing in between so you can get more beer and go to the bathroom.

Not to toot my own horn, but I’m a pretty good parent. It doesn’t matter if the school doesn’t cooperate. We’ve had to go down to a single income so I can be my daughter’s “learning coach” in the (public) online school we’ve put her in because she was severely bullied and the school would do nothing. She was having a lot of feelings about self-harm and she’s only 13. Yes, she’s queer. We are 100% supportive of her in anything she wants to do in terms of love or sex as long as no one is hurt. It’s not enough.

I’m just glad there’s no gun in the house.

Were you just made a moderator of c/news, @jeffw? If so, congratulations!

I will laugh my ass off when this thing breaks down and catches on fire during their “tactical response” after someone throws a water bottle at it.

Workers at TJ Maxx and Marshalls are wearing police-like body cameras. Here’s how it’s going (www.cnn.com)

Retail chains like TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, are equipping some store employees with body cameras to deter shoplifting and improve safety. This is part of a growing trend in the retail industry, as stores respond to an increase in organized retail theft and violence against workers. However, some...

You could spend a lot of money on body cameras, or you could reduce your prices to being affordable again. I’d say either one has a decent chance of dissuading shoplifters.

But I suppose you can only write off the former.

Stores are already full of security cameras. Shoplifters are generally aware of this. I’m not sure what this adds to that. I suppose it keeps someone employed.

I know America is not great at teaching math, but FDR died in 1945, which was 79 years ago. I’m no mathematician, but 79 is greater than 50.

Also, it’s weird that you accuse Biden of being against desegregation and then tout FDR who was just an out-and-out racist.

That is really not a place you want anything medical called “ringworm” even if it isn’t actually a worm.

Imagine if just one person burned one Trump flag somewhere public.

We’d never hear the fucking end of it.

I have said the same thing about the NRA and Philando Castile multiple times. You’re absolutely right. He did everything the NRA said he should have done and still got murdered and barely a peep came out of them.

I agree that neither Hunter Biden nor Donald Trump should have guns, but you know who they’ll defend and who they’ll stay silent about.

This asshole is never satisfied. They have made compromise after compromise. Just fire the fucker. It isn’t religious discrimination at this point. Reasonable accommodations have been made. More than reasonable.

Honestly, I’d be worried about what this guy would not be willing to do with a male drowning victim.

Yet again, what they want is your vote and your money. I know you think you’re more important than that, but you aren’t.

Sorry, your arrogance doesn’t actually mean you know better.

Mussolini was known to use terrorism all the time. That’s literally what his blackshirts were known fore before he seized power.

ojp.gov/…/breaking-police-mussolinis-use-terroris…

slate.com/…/how-italian-fascists-succeeded-in-tak…

history.com/…/mussolini-founds-the-fascist-party

But please do tell me Mussolini, who came up with the term ‘fascism,’ was not a fascist or that his tactics weren’t terrorism. That should be fun.

As for what I am expecting to gain from this conversation? Just correcting your false and/or silly claims for other people’s benefit since I am assuming you are the sort of person who never admits when they’re wrong, especially based on your silly “I know better than you” comment at the outset.

Insulting me won’t make you more important than that, but I have flagged you for violating the incivility rule.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You didn’t look at a single link, did you? That’s the only way you couldn’t see that you were wrong. The first link even had ‘terrorism’ in the URL.

How about rather than insult me (I have flagged you again), you explain to me why either Mussolini didn’t use terrorism or why Mussolini was not a fascist?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I guess we’ll find out. Now, care to explain to me how Mussolini either did not use terrorism in spite of the links I gave you or was not a fascist?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

So you’re saying I created all three of those links myself?

FlyingSquid,

This is what you wrote:

“Terrorism” as commonly used (suicide attacks etc) is, in fact, asymmetric warfare. And in emotion it’s an individual going against a mass. It’s the opposite of fascism.

“Terrorism” as Stalin’s repressions, or jailing random people for words, or police not touching violent groups harassing someone, etc - yes, these are normal for fascism.

The links, which you clearly are refusing to read, so I’m not sure why you’re telling me what’s in them, show that asymmetric warfare in the form of terrorism was exactly what brought Mussolini to power.

Again, I know that you will never say you were incorrect (I doubt you ever do), this is for the benefit of others.

And I have flagged you again for incivility.
