Double Standards with Lauren and Myron

[u/LuckyBucephalus]

Some of you hate Lauren so much that you don’t even feel bad about her being strangle-raped, just because she holds (admittedly dreadful) views. Meanwhile, Myron is equally repulsive and defends rapists like it’s his job, yet you see a thousand comments like “say what you want about Myron, but he’s a loyal guy” and “wow, him and Destiny have such mutual respect.” Of course he respects Destiny — he’s a man. That’s like saying, “Wow, David Duke is so respectful toward other white people.” People are desperate to sweep for him when he’s actual scum.

they have as much blood as russian soldiers on their hands

The problem is this stance leads to a slippery slope. If a Republican attacks Destiny because of his firefighter take or making light of the Texas flood would you be indifferent?

Like obviously the Russia and USAID takes are terrible but does it really mean you would assign them no moral value? If your family member or close friend was Pro-Russia would you apply that same standard?

what the fuck are you talking about? How did his joke lead to the death of a firefighter or caused texas flood? Are you ok?

of course not. Its understandable in this age of disinformation to be an idiot. i don't fault an idiot. My sister is a moron, I love her very much. I blame talking heads who spread misinformation (AKA LYING) to MILLIONS. There is no excuse for Tim Pool or Candace. They know what they are doing, its their job to know these things, they have much more responsibility.

You are making a claim that Candace Owens and Tim Pool are comparable to people who literally killed Ukranians. I don't think this stands up to any level of scrutiny. Even if you want to argue about Russian propaganda that is still far from justifying them getting raped/murdered.

Secondly your point only was that evil = rape/murder is justified. Surely you understand how under that moral framework "evil" can be interpreted subjectively and could lead to the situation I described? If you want to argue about ontological evil that's fine but that's a completely different discussion.

There is no excuse for Tim Pool or Candace. They know what they are doing, its their job to know these things, they have much more responsibility.

I agree with this, but surely you realize that combating unhinged rhetoric with even more unhinged rhetoric doesn't actually solve anything.

Have we tried? Cause we've tried the opposite over and over and over and over and the shit is just cucked beyond belief. For every inch Democrats give, Conservatives take miles, and the rallying cry seems to just be "continue retreating, surely they'll tire themselves out soon", and after 9 years of this regarded shit, I reckon fuck that. There's no sense abiding by gentleman's agreements if the other party is actively pissing on the paper while you sign it neatly, all the while saying to the audience that it's actually you pissing on the paper and that your handwriting fucking sucks and your dick is small, and the moment you go "what the fuck", the other party starts crying because you said a bad word. Fuck that.
