@EndOfLine @wintermute_oregon

I rewatched the video and this was interesting: https://twitter.com/pine_tree_riots/status/1410742168868704258

Looks like the protesters were blocking the road, and it's not that evident that he actually hit anyone. He also was taking a right turn on a red light, which is a legal thing to do.

I can see why might have wanted to pardon him, although the case certainly isn't exactly cut-and-dry and it's fair to have different takes on this.

@wintermute_oregon So...are the pro protests funded through grassroots means, by 's , or by ? I'm trying to keep up.

@MushuChupacabra @wintermute_oregon I'm mixed on a take like this. He did make the state a lot better, but it's to such a degree that people have swarmed the state and people are now complaining that the cost of living is too high. Between that and the authoritarian/pseudofascist way he likes to address culture war issues (banning handing out pamphlets in public, punishing for being woke, etc.), I don't think should be too closely emulated.

@Atelopus@kbin.run @OnlyTakesLs @BobaFuttbucker So, are you guys saying that the info in the article is false?

realcaseyrollins,
@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social avatar

@Atelopus@kbin.run @OnlyTakesLs @BobaFuttbucker Fair point. The original source is a website called #AlphaNews, which has the pictures of the child:

https://alphanews.org/exclusive-mother-says-third-grade-daughter-was-attacked-at-school-because-she-wasnt-muslim/

It was an exclusive, so we'll see. They said the cops were getting involved so maybe they'll make a statement.

Seems pretty clear the girl was attacked, although parents do lie about this typa thing about their kids so "not being #Muslim" might not be the real reason.

@BobaFuttbucker @jimbolauski Beating someone for not being #Muslim is not part of #Islam, I would argue

realcaseyrollins,
@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social avatar

@BobaFuttbucker Interesting. You had accused the OP of sharing this post in order to exaggerate the danger of violent Muslims. @jimbolauski accused you of doing the same thing about Nazis.

Exaggerating the violence of a particular group is not the same as saying that the particular group is violent.

@BobaFuttbucker @jimbolauski I could make an article saying "This Pizza In Is Awful"; accusing me of making it seem like there's more bad pizza in than there actually is is different than saying I'm accusing all pizza of being bad.

@BobaFuttbucker

> How does one exaggerate the danger of Nazis? I am DYING to know.

By making it seem like there are more Nazis than there actually are

@BobaFuttbucker Dude ain't never heard of analogies before lol

realcaseyrollins,
@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social avatar

@BobaFuttbucker I'm not denying that Nazis are bad at all, and I don't think that @jimbolauski was either. However, like violent Muslims, they're a severe minority in the that doesn't pose a significant danger to the general population. The comparison is apt

realcaseyrollins,
@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social avatar

@BobaFuttbucker I think it's not smart to make sweeping statements like "everyone in this group is bad". Nazism is bad, and if you had to draw names out of a hat, you'd probably find a bad person 9 out of 10 times.

The analogy isn't broken, you just don't like it because you disagree with the conclusion. In your mind, the threat of Nazis can't possibly be exaggerated, because you REALLY don't like them. I don't like them either, but that doesn't make them the greatest threat known to man.

@BobaFuttbucker We're getting off track, apparently intentionally. You seem pretty bad faith in this thread (not surprising considering your conduct in previous threads of ours, to be fair), so I think I'm going to end this here, and mute you so that I can focus on having more intelligent conversations.

@BobaFuttbucker @wintermute_oregon They still do some good work. Their expose on how the pullout from actually went down was some solid journalism.

@BobaFuttbucker I don't like being lumped in with "conservatives" writ large, their blind unwillingness to criticize #Trump is embarrassing.

Which #MSM network on cable would you say is better than #CNN?

realcaseyrollins,
@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social avatar

@BobaFuttbucker They're pretty good. I'm warming up to as well.

But that's largely print media. isn't generally included in basic streaming packages from what I can tell. And they only cover political events, so no mass shooting press conferences or anything like that. It's good to have some audiovisual source for those events as they happen, even if it's somewhat biased.

@unexposedhazard @wintermute_oregon Anything to defend I guess 😂

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social avatar

@BobaFuttbucker Is he not arguing that they should be allowed to continue to exist?

realcaseyrollins,
@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social avatar

@BobaFuttbucker Interesting take. If he thinks should be stopped, I'd love to hear his strategy for how that ought to be done. I hear more from people arguing that the should stop fighting than arguing for how exactly the should be fighting , if not with the current tactics

realcaseyrollins,
@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social avatar

@BobaFuttbucker It's pretty funny that this is your takeaway from my responses lol

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social avatar

@ieatpillowtags He was pretty obviously complaining that they were being bombed by the , no?

realcaseyrollins,
@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social avatar

@ieatpillowtags Fair enough, it's just that will never stop using human shields, so it's always kinda weird to see people blame the for civilian deaths when are the ones being targeted (in the majority of cases, I know that we have incidents like the truck strike)
