Blaming everything on capitalism is oversimplistic and reductive, to be honest.

Climate collapse is a result of industrialization and not capitalism, to start. Unless you want to explain how Stalin and Mao were still burning coal.

Ancient alien theory is extremely racist and I am shocked people don’t reject it on those grounds alone.

We don’t need to shut down our ability to think critically to assuage the feelings of other people. That’s not something any of us have the right to ask regardless of our condition.

Edit: nvm I’ve looked at your profile after seeing some of your unhinged comments here ; I now fully believe you are eleven yourself and under the delusion that you are, in fact, an adult.

And yet here you are arguing with me as an adult and wanting me gone as one, regardless of my actual age, so what are you doing except proving my point exactly?

Electric cars, of course

Those others are their friends and family, not abusive authoritarians causing the very violence they convinced you they’re here to stop.

Oh lol at you comparing some spoiled kid who killed his own mother to neurodivergent people as if that isn’t blatantly ableist and insulting as fuck.

Also you need to learn empathy and to start seeing things from the other side. The safety of everyone else is more important than this kid’s feelings because he killed an innocent person unjustifiably. That fact does not change because he is a kid. He is now a threat to the community, and you’ve no right to demand the community subvert its own right to existence just to appease your wack-ass sensibilities.

His punishment has to put him in jail where he’ll be removed from society and still retain some rights. It’s the only fair and just way.

This is a kid, it’s an accident, a tragic one.

This is you sympathizing with the wrong person and not caring about anyone other than yourself and you making yourself look good at the expense of literally everyone around you.

Excuse you, Mr. You’re-An-Invalid-Not-Capable-Of-Defending-Yourself? Your whole point is deeply insulting and offensive. Be civil and stop making it. See how that works? Anything can and is uncivil to somewhere at sometime. So don’t cry to me about your poor sensitive little feelings when you give not one single fuck for mine.

If he doesn’t have a gun and can’t fight, then he needs cops to protect him from people who do have guns and can fight.

No, the answer to not having a gun and not being able to fight is to get a gun and gain the ability to fight. If you cannot do that, ally yourself with friends and family who 1) do and 2) are willing to defend you, even with their lives.

That’s the only real answer because we’ve seen clearly that cops 1) legally are not obligated to protect anybody, 2) won’t, 3) are tyrannical and more interested in entrenching power over other people than doing anything positive.

Cops are not the answer to the human condition. Only friends and family are, really. Only you youself are, ultimately.

Is that everyone? No. I never said it was.

That’s clearly what you’re implying, or did you mean something else by your obnoxious threatening statement?

Yes, they are inherent issues. You can’t control who goes on that bus and therefore can’t guarantee the safety of passengers. You can’t control whether buses break down or if the routes will change or not, so you can’t guarantee riders will get to work on time, if at all. And in many cities, bus service is so poor that jobs will not hire people who ride the bus for those reasons.

You also can’t stop people from spreading bedbugs and disease, and we all saw how well you reacted to that during covid.

Accept that you’re just wrong on this. No matter how much you want buses to be a viable solution, they just aren’t.

There really just shouldn’t be cops.

Most people in the U.S. either have or can easily get a gun. A substantial majority of people can, in fact, fight. You’re a fucking idiot.

It doesn’t matter, he still killed his mother and that is the reason why he’s being tried.

The fact that he’s a kid and did that makes the case more ironclad in the eyes of most: he’s clearly a bad seed so he must be gotten rid of now to protect the lives and rights of everybody else.

And never mind the rampant spread of bedbugs and disease, being exposed to violence and sexual assault, risking being arrested simply for angering the bus driver, being made late to work or even missing it entirely because of bus breakdowns, route changes or cancellations, or any number of problems that are more easily rectified with an electric car or a bike

They might not be real supporters. They are probably shill accounts forum sliding and doing the same things to control consensus they have done everywhere else.

The admins were probably paid off. There are people actively defending being federated with Zuck bullshit and they’re likely dumb shills or bots too.

I left Reddit specifically to get away from this shit, yet here we are. 🤦

If personal attacks are the only response you can give, then they’re clearly right and you’re clearly wrong.

If they don’t, I’m out

That’s kind of a fatalistic view on life.

You could have just used Protonmail or something.

Because they shouldn’t be messing with water breaks at all.
