- CostcoFanboy 1y agoLike transgender military service bans, DACA, Family separation policies that clearly targeted latino families, etc, etc, etc.
- PartiallyTyped 1y agoThey literally talk about revoking 2A for trans people. What are you on about? Plenty of websites track this legislation. If you really wanted, you could have an agent do deep research and answer that for you.
- spaceman_2020 1y ago“Talking about” is not the same as actually doing it though.
- PartiallyTyped 1y agoIt all starts with that. They are literally making being trans illegal in red states, and this is just one more pebble.

- maerF0x0 1y agoGiven that bin laden initiated violence, I'm not sure this is a reasonable comparison. I do not know anything about Wissam, so am saying nothing about them.
- potsandpans 1y agoSo violence is sometimes justified. Ok. Let's get more precise. Did bin laden ever directly kill someone? Why is this post flag worthy? I'm just asking questions. I thought we should be able to do that????
- dang 1y agoI've unflagged it now. It's often hard to tell whether someone is using the site as intended when they post like this (especially when you also posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45202782 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45202782 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45205659 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45205659, plus even worse ones you've been posting and deleting), but I'll take your word that you meant to. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- potsandpans 1y agoThere is room for nuanced conversation here. If the status quo in this thread is "violence is never justified" then I feel that flaggers and downvoters should justify their position with more nuance when confronted by a litany of human history that runs opposite of that notion. I wonder at which point you consider locking this thread, if even a simple question asking for precision on a viewpoint is being flagged and downvoted. What curious conversation is happening outside of the normal thoughts and prayers top comment and inane one-liner quotes. Seems like the mods had no problem whatsoever letting the other politically motivated assassinations get flagged away and removed swiftly. How interesting. Forgive me if I will not celebrate this man's life. This site is a consevative and fascist bastion that masquerades as an open and free thought forum. Your personal moderation efforts are evidence for that. That you timed me out for so long after unflagging the comment indicative of your bad faith.
- PartiallyTyped 1y agoI find myself pondering how the families of victims of stochastic terrorism feel, do they try to rationalize why their loved ones died? I am in the unfortunate situation to have found myself a victim of hatred — nearly got abducted — found myself threatened and discriminated against on the basis of my sexuality and appearance, had people spread rumours about my birth sex, and I wonder, do the perpetrators of stochastic terrorism ever feel any remorse? Are they capable of seeing us as fellow humans? Have they a heart that can feel pain for people they can’t relate to any more than just being other people?
