It just seems real fuckin' weird that you keep on saying that he's wrong without saying what's right. What does "deal with them accordingly" mean when the "enemy-in-place" is a 17-year-old who uncritically consumes Russian media but has no known inclination to violence or political action of any...

I want to hear him either own up to it or back down from it. I don't know that "treat them as enemies" necessarily means "shoot them all" but it's certainly not out of the question. And, for a counterexample, having internment camps like FDR did to Japanese-Americans in WWII (for Russian...

... this is not the answer I was hoping for when the accusation against you was, "You are the one who argues that any russian child who is not ACTIVELY anti putin should be shot." Could you give a straight answer to that accusation for me? I agree it's a red herring for the purpose of the...

If you mean "uk double d", that was 100% a troll. I was only 99% sure, but then I checked post history. N-word jokes and "I want nuclear WWIII, that's why I'm voting Biden" type comments further back.

I'm really skeptical of this one. Wouldn't it be more likely that the troubles were part of the reason for Parliament to be squeezing and otherwise antagonizing the colonies, and that's why they coincide? Are you sure you aren't thinking of the war of 1812? I sometimes hear it referred to as...

Well, that wasn't my entire point. My entire point was that additionally if you decide the law isn't enough and take the law into your own hands then you need to accept the consequences that the law will bring onto you. In many civil rights protests, getting arrested en masse is part of the...

Is that really a counterpoint if what he's originally arguing for is basically to greenlight a sharp rise in vigilantism? I mean "it's okay to extrajudicially murder people as long as they're really bad people" isn't going to end at actual pedophiles. You know that, right? Maybe you're a fan of...

I see this as you admitting that you can see the difference but don't want to acknowledge it. That's why "had it coming" was in quotes: to mark that it was his motive instead of legal fact (but not an actual quote that I'm aware of). If you want to extend self defense to "is motivated to harm...

Sure, I'm willing to adjust it down, but remember we're adjusting it down from 25 in a single pass. Whereas you had said it was vanishingly unlikely to walk past even one if one were to "walk down the high street of every major city in the world." Did you perhaps mean "any" instead of "every"?

All right, what percentage of the population do you say actual sufferers make up? (Or whatever way you'd like to express the proportion other than percentage.) As for the other, I await the outcome of the case before judging the severity of the sentence; but I agree that society is not doing a...

Yeah, this is how laws work. He murdered a guy because the guy "had it coming" and now he is facing the consequences. He can ask for a pardon or commutation. Even if this guy was on target I think refusing to prosecute an obvious premeditated murder would be too close to officially endorsing...
