    The division and violence is coming from within the house.

  • And after the barrage of cringe tone deaf “humor” about a fucking political assassination I think my side doesn’t have room to criticize other people’s jokes.

    Perhaps the reason that "humor" is coming out so strong is because Republicans are so cavalier about "having basic respect" and "don't glorify political violence." So yeah, I don't blame people at all for glorifying the death of a mouthpiece of that hate and division, he was literally asking for it. He radicalized the youth, downplayed political violence, and encouraged stochastic terror. There hasn't been a better example of living by the sword and dying by the sword, so as far as I'm concerned, until there are consequences for lack of civility, respect, decorum, not glorifying terrorism, etc, Republicans have earned none.

    So how do you feel about the whole Charlie Kirk divide?

  • Obviously the ideal amount of political violence should be zero. If any other option exists, I think those must be taken first.

    But sometimes the status quo is violence, and letting the status quo continue doing violence will overtime do more harm than one act of political violence. So mathematically, there must be some point where some violence is worth the cost of less harm in the future.

  • (not popping off at you just clarifying the AI answer)

    Jupiter is NOT a failed star, the lowest bounds for a brown dwarf are 13x Jupiter's mass, and even brown dwarfs are classified as "substellar objects" (actual failed stars?). Wikipedia says Jupiter would need to be 75x more massive to fuse hydrogen.

  • I don't get why people want their problems to have cosmic importance, but the scale of the universe just makes me feel like there is so much I'll never get to see. And if there is no other life in the universe, then all those amazing worlds with utterly unique phenomena will never be observed.

  • What are some methods of distributed civil disobedience for Americans?

  • Not civil disobedience, but I agree. Unfortunately creating communities is probably a bigger ask than getting arrested in a protest.

  • Everyone sits on multiple spectra for what they care about, and where their thresholds for acting are

    Right, so what would push people over that threshold now?

  • Not against the idea in spirit, but that's not distributed and not feasible for many people who live far from corporate HQs.

  • Well, that's part of my point. Everyone who stopped eating at Chick Fil A stopped 10+ years ago, everyone else doesn't care. Anyone willing to boycott is already boycotting, and they can't boycott any harder until we have a method of acquiring necessities from somewhere else.

  • Right, that was just an example of things anyone with a couple friends could do locally that would still accumulate at scale.

  • That's true, but at the same time, aren't most people already boycotting what they can? I think anyone who feels bad about supporting shitty companies are already avoiding them when they can, and if they can't, well there isn't much more to do until we hit mutual aid networks.
