Jesus Christ had a lot of teachings, one of which is that all humans are imperfect. All fall short, and let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Does that mean you aren’t a Christian, since you’re expecting perfection of Christians?
Ok, but a “Christian” is anyone who claims to be a Christian. There are no other unifying features of Christianity that make one a “True” Christian. Of course, all Christians claim to be the “True” Christians, and claim that any Christians who do not meet some arbitrary requirement aren’t really Christians. All Christians have equal claim to the ideology, and this equally validates their claim to be Christians and invalidates their claims that others are not real Christians.
Canada is a distraction. It requires almost zero effort for Trump to kick that hornets’ nest, and you get several news cycles out of the response and all the tweets from celebrities and the economists writing thesis after thesis about what a fucking stupid idea it is.
Meanwhile, what is Trump doing? He’s selling pardons, betraying our allies, dismantling the government structures that can oppose him, and lining his own pockets with our tax dollars.
If you murder a murderer, you don’t reduce the total number of murderers. You have to murder more than one, but then you’re a serial killer, which is arguably worse. If you’re a serial killer who only kills serial killers, then you are starting to maximize the offset. But once you fuck up and get close to being caught, so your serial killer girlfriend blows up Doakes to keep your secret safe and you pin all your murders on him, you’ve gone too far.
I agree, you’re making zero sense. Nazis didn’t make money selling uniforms. Maybe Hugo Boss did, but that’s not at all analogous to a car.
The point is not to destroy a uniform, the point is to stop driving a Nazi car. If someone wants a Nazi car, they can either buy a new one or buy a used one. If there are more used Nazi cars available, then this drives the price down, reduces the aura of scarcity, and reduces the number of new Nazi cars sold, and thus reduces the amount of money going into Nazi pockets.
I keep seeing this talking point, and I can’t tell if it’s just bad faith propaganda, or if so many people really are this obtuse.
Where did anyone get the idea that selling a car because the head of the company is a Nazi is intended to reduce the number of extant cars? It’s such a specifically stupid argument that I have a hard time believing more than one person came up with it on their own. It’s like if you were debating coke vs pepsi, and suddenly there were hundreds of people chiming in, “Have you tried standing on your head and peeing into your own mouth?” It’s neither intelligent nor relevant in any way. That’s what you sound like. Having one person say it is weird, but seeing multiple comments makes you wonder if you’re not just mindlessly repeating something somebody told you to say.
Cars are worth what someone is willing to pay. More used cars on the market means lower prices means fewer new cars are purchased. The biggest drop in value on any car (bigotry aside) happens at mile 1 when you drive it off the lot. But manufacturers love scarcity when there is high demand, so some manufacturers explicitly forbid buyers from selling their cars (Tesla and Ferrari are the only ones I know of, but there may be more.) If you want one, you must buy it new, and you better buy it quick because it won’t last. They don’t want buyers leaving the lot and shopping around, they want to create an atmosphere of panic and exclusivity.
Fortunately, they cannot enforce the requirements that you don’t sell your car. What they can do is refuse to sell you another one, which Ferrari is famous for doing. With Tesla, if you’re selling because you don’t want to be associated with Nazis, you’re not going to care if the Nazis won’t sell you another car. Yes, you’re probably selling to another Nazi, but most people cannot afford to simply abandon or scrap a functioning* car on principle. Selling is the next best thing, as it undercuts the aura of scarcity, drives the price down, and reduces the number of new cars sold.
Just don’t try to tell me it’s fucking “uncured.”
Remember when the Republicans refused to take the Jan 6 impeachment seriously because he was not going to be in office by the time they completed the investigation, and they said that it would be a matter for the courts, and then the SCOTUS said that Presidents are immune to prosecution and the only recourse is impeachment?
Trump can be impeached again for everything and anything he did between then and now, including while he was out of office. He can be impeached for inciting the Jan 6 terrorist attacks, he can be impeached for his election interference in several states, he can be impeached for sharing state secrets and documents at Mar a Lago with foreign agents, and he can be impeached for just about any of the executive actions he’s taken since being reelected.
“Begs” makes them sound weak and stupid, because it’s true.
He’s featured in an episode of What If…? and he makes a cameo in the GotG3. It could make for a great holiday special.
I mean, that’s kinda what they said about Lost, but then they had to fill 3 seasons because the network wasn’t ready to end it, and by the time they got to the end, everyone had guessed the twist and it went out with a whimper.
Of course we’ve had other terrible endings to massive shows since then, so
Musk is getting $8 million each day from the US government to destroy the US government. He was given $44 billion to destroy Twitter. He’s not worried about money.
Jesus, he’s just trying to have dinner with his kids.
Feels like it would be bigoted of me to ask for the country of origin.
Like a really dry beef jerky that’s been smeared with cheese. Oh, wait you meant the cheese…
Where do you live that $36,000 will carry you through a year?
I’d argue that anyone claiming to be a Christian believes they are making an effort to follow the teachings of Christ as they understand them.
I’m not sure why you think where you live is relevant, but OK.
