very good, you did the thing, you win 1 internet point for the day

Yep the focus is the 1930s, but as you can imagine there are lots of tie-ins today’s media.

Yeah… we’re not just voting our way out of this. Violence is coming before the midterms, and I’ve never been this scared for our future.

First time? I’ve been kicked off of reddit for over a year now. It’s obvious they’re not supportive of the movement to save America from what’s happening.

You just need to learn how to say the truth in black and white terms that doesn’t provoke any violence and such.

In posts like this, I’ll always point people towards “How the liberal media helped fascism win” by Behind the Bastards podcast. It’s a fantastic 2 part episode that explains exactly what’s happening again today in the 2020s.

Where did I say both the perpetrator and victim deserve death.

There may be a time in the very near future when humanity decides to deal with climate criminals the way they do in The Ministry for the Future. I’ll just leave it at that.

yeah… I know but I’m trying to build up hope that real changes and consequences will come to this regime, which may prompt people to take more action to bring that future into existence. Ya know, like Oprah’s The Secret

That’s where the internet is in 2026 sadly

For every story that the victim wouldn’t have wanted the death of their abuser, how many are there where the victim would sleep better knowing their victim isn’t the in the world anymore? Anecdotal doesn’t mean much on its own when it comes to policy.

I agree it’s case by case. In the most severe cases, death penalty. There’s lots of gray area, like in anything else in life.

What? Yeah one is a criminal and the other is a victim. Why would they be treated the same?

I want a future where non-offending pedophiles are treated with compassion by society so that they feel empowered to reach out to community and professional help.

Sure, but I’m assuming even if someone isn’t violent, they are participating in CSAM or whatever you call it now, so they are viewing and sharing exploited children, which further encourages the producers of that content to make more. I haven’t researched the entire thing but that seems to make sense. That’s why I said they should be punished for participating. If they’re literally going through life normally without any kind of action online or in real life, then sure good for them.

edit: saw the second part of the comment, and yeah I don’t have an answer for that, but please share your source on stats that those behaviors would happen. Whatever policy we do should be driven by empirical data, not just vibes.

lol yeah I know. I don’t post anything I wouldn’t want read in a court

DON’T YOU DARE insult OPRAH

I’m trying to manifest it like Oprah would’ve wanted.

But not Lemmy right… right?

lol Fuck ICE, they will get what’s coming once midterms happen. Especially those that have hurt or murdered people.

eh, source?

100% that, yeah I agree in that case

I’ll be honest, I don’t think MAGA would ever believe it without seeing it themselves. They aren’t capable of abstract thinking unless something personally affects them.

I’m 100% sure there are disgusting pictures of Trump and many others, and video, and more.
