I will never forget how Osama bin Laden went on to host a game show

What’s the difference between a cow and 9/11? You can’t milk a cow for 25 years.

Look, is it a pyramid scheme? Sure, maybe. But trying to pick the right religion to get into heaven, and even then there’s no guarantee, that’s like playing the lottery. You’re better off signing up now and getting a better spot in the pyramid.

Jokes on you, my plan all along was to tempt you away from God to secure a better position in Hell, as is the secret motivation of all atheists. Muahahaha!

There’s a pretty significant difference between blocking the free movement of people between two polities and the question of which polity controls an area. And I say that even as someone who doesn’t care about the second one unless I have a good reason to (beyond just it being a border).

You don’t understand how sources work. Let me break this down for you.
That troops are imperialist killers-for-hire is my conclusion drawn from historical facts. Those historical facts include that they went abroad to occupy a country for decades in a war of aggression that killed hundreds of thousands of people.
If you’re disputing those facts, tell me what you’re disputing and I will happily supply a source for it. If you agree with those facts, then no source is needed. If you agree with those facts but still disagree with my conclusions, then you must disagree with my logic and reasoning, which doesn’t need a source.
If you don’t understand my reasoning, then I’m happy to explain it, but I think it’s pretty straightforward. They are hired to kill people, so they are killers-for-hire.
If you understand my reasoning but still disagree with my conclusion, then you can challenge some specific part of said reasoning.
That is how reasoning and debate works. You don’t just point wildly at whatever someone says and demand a source. If you’re asking for a source, it means that you disagree with some specific fact underlying the chain of reasoning.

If you want me to link you a source on a claim, tell me what specific claim. Otherwise I have no idea what information you’re looking for.

What do you think the guns are for, exactly?
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
You need a source for the claim that murder is wrong?
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
Links for what info? Do you need a source for the fact that there was decades-long occupation of Afghanistan? Have you been living under a rock?

Murderers deserve punishment. What more is there to explain?

You don’t think some members may have joined before this administration and got trapped doing this kind of shit?
What, when we were occupying Afghanistan for 20 years and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of civilians? What on earth makes you think I only hate them because of who the president is?
Its not like you can just quit, you usually do jail time.
Tough shit. A person threatening you with jail time does not justify committing murder.
And if they have a family, are they supposed to just abandon them?
Even if they have to, they’d be no worse off than the families of the people they kill. Although, I suppose they often kill the families too, so kind of a bad example.
Help me understand why it’s their fault they were told to do stupid shit with very little recourse.
This may be a difficult concept to grasp, but human beings have agency which means that if someone tells you to do something, you don’t actually have to do it, because you are not a robot.

Because they’re imperialist killers for hire?

Lots of people arguing about this in the comments, but I’m glad there’s so many people defending the position that it’s ok to do bad things if you’re poor, because that’s exactly my position. I wasn’t in the military, though, no.
I was the guy that trafficked kids to Epstein’s Island.
I don’t talk about it a lot because most of the time people judge me pretty harshly for it. You wouldn’t believe how many dates have walked out on me the moment I drop what I used to do for a living. I mean, look, I’m not a pedophile myself. Most of the guys I was working for were just desperate and in if for the money. I don’t support what the guys in Washington decided to pay me for. Blame them, not me.
What was I supposed to do, work in a warehouse or a grocery store or something? What am I, some kind of chump? Fuck that. With the money I made duct taping children’s mouths shut and throwing them into my trunk, I managed to earn enough money to put myself through college, and finally persue my real passion.
That’s right. Now I’m finally able to persue a dual major in Moral Philosophy and Women’s Studies. Also, funny coincidence, I’m a TA and I’m actually teaching one of the girls I met in my previous line of work about feminism. What a funny little coincidence!

It’s still cheaper than other major cities. You can compare the rent data on various sites, NYC is 50% higher or more, other major cities like Seattle, Los Angles, Boston, they’re all like 25% higher or more.

Chicago is far more affordable than any of the major coastal cities.

The words people use tend to vary a great deal depending on your acquaintances and the local culture.
Really? Where are you from, upstate New York? Because I’m from Albany and I’ve never heard anybody refer to hamburgers as “steamed hams.”
You’re stuck in your narrow world view where everyone who doesn’t cite your expected manifesto must be a bad person. It taints how you see everything. Hopefully you grow out of that.
No, I’m just capable of seeing through obvious bullshit and don’t have the patience to entertain something we both know is fake.
- Comment on You haven't seen enough trans Spider-Woman memes 3 weeks ago:
No, I understand that. It’s still not a fetish in that sense either. It’s literally just a fanart trend. You could call any art trend a “fetish” by that standard. Just don’t expect to have any friends afterwards if you start going around talking about “Picasso’s cubism fetish” or whatnot.
In any case you’re just trying to hide behind that excuse after the fact. The meaning was obvious in the context.
- Comment on You haven't seen enough trans Spider-Woman memes 3 weeks ago:
That’s still not a fetish in any sense of the word. It’s literally just (SFW) fanart and comics imagining funny or relatable scenes. A lot of it is just imagining J Jonah Jameson reacting to it.
Calling it a fetish says way more about you than anything else.
- Comment on You haven't seen enough trans Spider-Woman memes 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure why you felt the need to comment now that you mention it, but moreso I just take issue with calling it a “fetish,” just because a character is imagined with a different identity.

Taking a break from my fetish for cis people is all.

- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
A sound argument is better than a reasonable one. Don’t use terms you don’t understand.
Relaity is China got out of poverty in spite of CCP not because of it. If they had democracy like Taiwan they’d be more rich AND more free.
Base assertion. Also, completely ignored my question. How did I move the goalposts? Justify the accusation or take it back, otherwise you’re just full of shit.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve made very well reasoned arguments backed by data and sources, you just randomly scream that I’m “moving the goalposts” somehow with absolutely zero explanation for how I’m supposedly doing it and just repeat that and throw insults at me. It’s obvious that you’re just a troll.

Boring troll.
