He added: "This is what many on the left will do, they'll take a clip of that and they will run with it and, all of a sudden, the statement that is that you want to 'kill everybody' or whatever. We all know that's not what you meant to get across."
Fuck these gaslighting pieces of shit
Does lemmy have sort by controversial?
Not defending that jackass at all and I could absolutely be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure he said jail em all, not kill. Still fascist either way.
I heard ‘jail’ too.
Second one (first into the mic) sounds like it could be jail them all. Third (seconds into the mic) is absolutely “kill them all”. Doesn’t surprise me and it’s certainly not meant literally. I’ve distance myself from a lot of friends and family that are just like that guy. Everyone of them would say America would be a better place if they could kill all the “liberals”. Maybe I’m just numb because I don’t see the outrage beyond how normalized it’s becoming.
I don't understand how anyone could think anything would be better if you could just kill people you don't agree with. Like, I don't like these assholes, and surely the world would be better without people with such extreme views, but to kill them would just make us fascists. That's not a society I would want to live in. That's insane.
One of the last conversations I experienced back home before I left around 2000, was them figuring out how they could go kill osama bin Laden themselves since the shitty government couldn’t get it done. Even forgetting about how none of them have much more than a pot to piss in, it never takes much to remind myself why I left whenever I get homesick. They are all probably part of meal team six. It’s sad, they’re great people in a lot of ways but their really not. They hate anyone that looks different than them and are ignorant as shit. Trying to convince them of any kind of reason would be like walking up to a light pole and convincing it to lean over so you could change the bulb, it’s not going to happen and you’re just going to be out of breath and feel stupider once you finally give up and go home.
...comparing Osama bin Laden to regular people you disagree with is a bit extreme, but I see what you're saying lol.
