  • I didn’t, but only through luck. If we weren’t lucky, I would have had to kill them, or more likely I would have had to try to.

    Apparently since I don’t approve of killing people I have to list all the incountable ways that you can deal with all kinds of negative confrontations without resorting to literally killing someone.

    Please, do tell me how I could have managed to deal with multiple drunk guys cornering and trying to beat/stab us to death.

    This has been a very stupid day defending the most basic idea that maybe we shouldn’t just kill people and maybe we shouldn’t fantasize about killing people.

    I think what’s even more stupid, is coming into a community of vulnerable people, and telling them that by defending themselves from aggressors makes them bad people, that they’ll have blood on their hands and they won’t be able to live with themselves.

    I honestly think you’re either one of two things: You’re either an alt right troll, or worse, you’re someone who thinks themselves an ally, but has absolutely zero practical experience in the matter.

    I mean anyone who says the following:

    If self defense was really the goal why didn’t the father gift their child a bullet proof vest or a shield or pepper spray or a taser or any other of the myriad options that exist in the real world to defend yourself from attackers?

    Is either trolling, or unintentionally trying to get people killed through bad advice.

    Either way, you’re helping the regressives, not us.


  • If in the act of defending yourself, you kill somebody, is that objectively a good righteous thing? Is that not a bloody stain on the world? Will there not be blood on your hands?

    What is your alternative then? Let’s hear it.

    If some transphobe/homophobe/racist/etc corners me and my family/friends (again), what should I do according to you? I’m curious.



  • This is a PR move, don’t fall for it.

    Quotes from the man himself, on how much he actually supports marriage equality and LGBTQ peolle:

    “I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without. Fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family. I can only reiterate the importance and, above all, the richness and the beauty of family life.”

    “What is at stake here is the identity and survival of the family: father, mother, and children. At stake are the lives of so many children who will be discriminated against in advance, depriving them of the human maturation that God wanted to be given with a father and a mother.”

    “[Marriage equality] is not a political struggle; it is the destructive attempt toward God’s plan.”

    “”[The push for marriage equality is] the envy of the Devil, by which sin entered the world, which cunningly seeks to destroy the image of God.”

    Don’t fall for their lies.






  • Compromises are useful when you want something. When your side is about to win you don’t blow up the organization unless you have a mental problem.

    Exactly. Like when the north was about to win the civil war, Lincoln allowed some slavery to be legal.

    Or when the allies were on the brink of victory, they went and allowed some concentraition camps to open again.

    Also, folding and voting against human rights to keep your hand on some property doesn’t sound like winning to me.

    Maybe you meant the Charlie Sheen kind of “winning”?

    Also, from what I can tell the gay bishops voted for the compromise. If they thought it was the right way to handle it, I am not going to shame them for it.

    I will! Fuck them, it was a shit decision, good job appeasing the regressives, well done guys.
