              TBH, my initial reaction was pretty similar to yours. I mean even ignoring the asshole self-righteousness of immediately judging someone’s weight without knowing them as a person (and thus the challenges they may be dealing with), at that age most people are having too many health issues to justify being judgemental in that fashion. Particularly so when you consider that at the time this guy grew up we didn’t have the understanding we have today (let alone level of public education) regarding how the human body worked.

              But given what this person choose to do to others, I also realized that such disrespect was well-earned. So, yeah - i went with the joke instead. I’m sorry that offended you because I agree with where you’re coming from, but in this particular case I’m not sorry for doing it as this guy was obviously an asshole in being so manipulative as to start an organization like this. IMHO he therefore disserves all the disrespect he’s gotten (and then some).

                Idk I’m kinda getting sick of this Lemmy bullshit, its not just you that’s making these jokes. I’m not gonna say I’m more principled than you… but aren’t we anti death penalty? I struggle to find where death > prison, skinny or fat. It might just be a personal preference that wanton death should be avoided, let him pay for his crimes with hard time. But I guess I’ve never been molested so maybe I should defer my opinion to someone that he molested. I know he is guilty unlike some death row inmates. I get we want to revolt so maybe I’m too weak to kill another person (lol its reminding me of Ruthlessness from Epic, where Odysseus spares the Cyclops and Poseidon wreaks havoc and tries to kill his crew - definitely not applicable but the theme of killing another to spare our lives is the vibe I get)

                  You went way off into the deep end.

                  No death penalty, the guy voluntarily refused to listen to the best practices during a pandemic.

                  That’s as close to a suicide as you can get. But in the dumbest most round-about way.

                  Which by itself would be sad. But he did his best to influence others to do the same.

                  So fuck him, his legacy and everything he stood for.

          Hahaha weight jokes are funny and dont cause any harm to anyone who is overweight. Let’s keep making fun of fat people because they are fat. Grow up, stop being a bully. I was thinking of a friend that committed suicide the week before graduating high school because she was laughed at for her weight. There’s millions of other things to make fun of about a repubtard but make fun of his ideas and not his weight.

            Weight is too far but reputard is fine? Amazing.

            You care because you have a personal connection, that’s reputarded behavior.

              You’re not wrong factually, but you certainly didn’t need to sink even lower while making your point. Never mind Republicans have well-earned the disrespect because they’ve long been giving even worse.

              Being fat is a symptom of mental stress. Do you honestly think you’re helping by piling on to that stress?

              Those people you mention that claim being fat is healthy are obviously trying to cope with their stress. They’re trying to find a way to feel “normal” despite all the external attacks on their person. Deep down they know the truth, but they can’t deal with that until they deal with what got them there first. They need to fix the foundation of their problems before they can fix the additional damages it caused.

                Shame can also be a motivator, it has an evolutionary role.

                Being overweight is a series of choices. Not an immutable characteristic.

                I’m a hard determinist, so I empathise with your viewpoint and it has merit, however, if you believe in free will, you believe the person has some agency.

          “Montgomery met Kirk when the latter was 18, after hearing Kirk speak at a small college.[4] Montgomery has been described as Kirk’s mentor, including by advising him to start Turning Point USA rather than attend college.”

          Nothing weird about that at all

        These sorts of organisations always tend to be founded by rich, but not particularly persuasive individuals. They tend to find someone like Kirk to be the face of the organisation so they can reap the benefits without having to do any of the legwork.

        I mean would you be interested in a random 87-year-old’s political pronouncements?

    I mean, really to follow the theme, a third founder would need to die as a result of not having access to abortion, not themselves be aborted.

      … where Usha is playing the immigrant, Erica is playing bad cop, and JD is playing good cop.

      The intro is JD and the casting couch.

      Like, just him and couch, and its framed as if the Couch is a person, got the cuts of the ‘prior to meeting’ interviews, the Couch is just a couch, JD is badly acting at being enthusiastic, as he normally is.

      Cut to Erica as bad cop detaining Usha as she returns to her own home. She already has the keys, so she decides to detain Usha in the sex dungeon, located under a trap door near the outdoor stone/brick pizza oven.

      Finished casting the casting couch, unaware either Erica or Usha are home, JD now hungers for cheese pizza, walks over to the backyard pizza oven… notices the trapdoor ajar.

      He then walks in on Erica BDSM torturing Usha. JD is equipped with all holster, no pants.

      JD begins to lecture Erica on the rights of the accused, Erica refuses to cease cruel and unusual punishment, JD is forced to draw down on Erica.

      But he has a Sig P320, so, in their scuffle, it does an uncommanded discharge, which domes Erica.

      A 4 Act play, in only 3 Acts.

    Between the Trump voter immigrants getting deported and anti vaccine people or their kids dying of preventable diseases, I don’t think US ever before had any period where “it won’t happen to me” was falsified so rapidly.

    I feel like the joke doesn’t really work, they are conservatives, drowning during baptism or something like that would’ve been more to the point
