    I’m taking points by consensus. Luckily, Lemmy has those built in and the congregation ain’t with you, dog.

      Yeah but the point is that if they hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

      It’s easier to ramp up an authoritarian regime if you start off bullying a group that’s small and easy to marginalized. Then you work your way up from there.

      What you’re saying is like “All lives matter” compared to “Black lives matter”. The point of BLM wasn’t that Black lives are more important, per se, but that they need more attention right now.

      Like if you’ve got two kids, and one scrapes his knee, and the other cracks his head open…obviously (hopefully) you love both of your kids, but one of them is clearly in more need of immediate attention. They matter more right now, in the current context.
