Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (democratic socialist) wins NY primary

[LogGrad98]

Right, you assume she was trying to rile people up, rather than simply using a term that accurately describes the situation. Makes sense.

As we've discussed there are many terms to accurately describe the situation. She chose that one. Why? You telling me concentration camp is in some way more accurate than detention center, to just pick another one at random? Please give me a thesis on the difference between the two they shows undeniably that concentration camp is the one and only term that accurately describes the situation while detention center does not in any way shape or form.

Why does that make sense? Please tell me my deepest feelings and opinions on AOC? I am going by the Twitter storm alone and if you can't see at least a hint of that intention in her communication you are severely biased to the point of blindness. I know almost nothing about her but that's what her Twitter rant looked like to me, going by that alone.

Sounds like you are letting people reacting in bad faith to her use of the phrase to inform you view of her intentions.

It's really not arguable that the so called detention centers are concentration camps, I get that term makes people feel queasy, but that's not a bad thing. That should be the proper reaction to what is happening.

This has been pointed out already but when you are held in "detention" it's generally meant as a punishment for some offense you've committed. This is not the case, many of these people are simply asylum seekers.

Look up the conditions in those camps, specifically the so called "dog pound" and "ice boxes," as well as the separation of children and infants from their parents and then tell me concentration camp isn't an accurate description of what's going on.

Except she's more likely to say things that are true, and is capable of defending her positions.

She says that the US is running Nazi style concentration camps at the southern border and that the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't adopt her Green New Deal. You think this stuff is true?

She didn't say anything about them being "Nazi Style"



Totally not concentration camps. Super normal, very cool.

Yeah, well, Tosh makes me giggle.

I like to live a lil. I understand why he's not for everyone, but don't morally make me feel bad for it. Douche move.

I find tosh hilarious. He is offensive as hell but IDGAF.

If you can laugh at dull, repetitive hate and not feel bad about it, I won't try to make you feel otherwise. You do you.

 

[One Brow]

Yes so why indulge them. Need to bypass as many as possible imo.

Because it doesn't matter how hard you try to avoid distractions over semantics or side issues, if one of the argument is determined to avoid discussing the central point, they will find a way to avoid it, no matter how much effort you make. So why bother?

1) She never said "Nazi style", nor made an allusion to Germany/Nazi/etc. at all.
2) She never said the world was ending in 12 years.

So, since she did not say that, my opinion on their truth has no effect on whether she lied.

Yeah, I understand his material can be pretty offensive. I have a dark sense of humor. I'm mentally capable of separating his jokes from real life and real life from his jokes.

I also love Howard Stern. Stern has said some pretty terrible things in his life and just because I like him doesn't mean I endorse or support his behavior or comments. Nor does it mean I have to separate myself from him completely if he does say something offensive. The idea of that is too BS and fake for me.

Everyone has done something pretty ****** or said something pretty ******. When it's a comedian though, and you get offended, that's on you imo.

I laugh a lot at Tosh. I imagine millions of others do too. That's probably why he's been on TV for over a decade doing the same gig.

Now, of course I exexpe you to have a comeback along the lines of Zombie's response saying that it's just millions of idiots who like him.

You know, cause you guys are the voice of comedic reasoning. The guys that are sadden, offended and call it hate speech.



I giggled.

I thought the proper reaction would be to fix it, but thanks for letting me know all about my motivations and how much guilt I should feel. Don't know what I'd do without you and your moral superiority.
