A library was targeted for kicking out Moms for Liberty, while schools in Oklahoma and California received threats after being singled out by Libs of TikTok.
Stochastic terrorism strikes again. This is directly because of Moms for Liberty and Libs of TikTok.
True. If you really want to win the moral victory you have to take action to stop letting your peers across the aisle get away with inciting this shit. (Speaking to leadership in congress here). You have to take action against propaganda outlets like Fox and OANN and Alex Jones and so forth.
I’m extremely grumpy today… sorry for this rant.
I guess what hit me yesterday is Biden’s statement about being friends with McConnell.
I cannot comprehend considering that man as anything but a villain and a lifelong enemy. And it got me wondering what kind of person could consider him a friend? And how seriously does someone like that really take problems in this country? Kind of feels like the life and death problems we peons face aren’t life and death for those in power, ya know?
There is no moral victory just people in power telling you to be subservient and accept their behavior or you can’t go to their imaginary billionaire land in the sky. I mean even the turn the other cheek is always misrepresented. Old slave laws prevented hitting someone a certain way or they could be released, you turned the other cheek to force them to hit you in an illegal manor and try to get released or force them into a position where they couldn’t hit you that time. It did not mean turn and let someone hit you ffs.
We turn the other cheek,
You know that meant when you get hit make sure you turn your cheek so they have to hit you a certain way and release you according to slave laws back then or they couldn’t hit you in that positon. It does not mean to take things as they come it’s a statement to force your opponent to misstep.
Reminds me of the whole, “well there was a gate in Israel called ‘eye of the needle’, so Matthew 19:23 didn’t actually mean it’s impossible for rich men to enter heaven” or whatever, thing that I’ve recently seen Christian apologists claim. Just made up out of whole cloth.
Yet, those who incite this hatred, meet with no negative consequences.
We go high, they go low.
We turn the other cheek, they throw a temper tantrum for not handing them medieval torture devices.
“Owning the libs” birthed literal psychopaths, who want the state to torture people to death, as entertainment.
As it turns out, “winning the moral victory” is still just losing.

Exactly. Mitch McConnell has done more damage to this country than anyone besides Reagan.

My friend group in high school knew this. We’d always jokingly describe losing as winning a moral victory.

You are factually incorrect. It’s literally a passage from the bible.
Reminds me of the whole, “well there was a gate in Israel called ‘eye of the needle’, so Matthew 19:23 didn’t actually mean it’s impossible for rich men to enter heaven” or whatever, thing that I’ve recently seen Christian apologists claim. Just made up out of whole cloth.
