05.08.2025 19:59 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Please understand that if you air even a single ICE ad on your program, on your podcast, on your stream, you will never, for the rest of your mortal life, receive another dollar or another second of attention from me, or from millions of others.
I promise you, it is financial suicide.
We all would. Some of us just got fucked.

05.08.2025 17:17 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0A certain percentage of people want to be contrarian in every context. And another percentage believes in the goodness of their imagined national hierarchy. This isnβt out of line with equivalent numbers for similarly awful things, historically.

05.08.2025 15:05 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Ok. That has little to do with what I said. Itβs not the people looking out for the common good you need to worry about. Itβs the ones out to profit personally.

05.08.2025 13:27 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Iβm not trying to discourage or encourage you, but to encourage caution and an awareness of the way our law enforcement structure currently functions. Which is to say, lawlessly.
05.08.2025 13:18 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0You think there are no ICE agents there? Possible, but these people only care about the law when it suits them.
05.08.2025 13:12 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Nonsense. These people donβt think theyβre serving the greater good. This is about profit.

04.08.2025 17:28 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The right takes pop culture seriously, and has built a successful social media recruitment model on mixing it with politics. They get it, which is why the Daily Wire spent thousands on a smear campaign during the Depp-Heard trial. Ignoring this=giving up.
04.08.2025 17:02 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Iβm not the government. Itβs literally impossible for me to curb your 1A. Thatβs how 1A works. Also, itβs perfectly possible to criticize both your ableism and Abbottβs (yes, disabled people can be ableist). I do. Iβm sorry for whatever happened to you, but itβs not an excuse to hurt others.
04.08.2025 13:40 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0You have clearly not understood a word Iβve said. That is not my problem.
04.08.2025 13:28 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Ok, bud.
04.08.2025 13:13 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Or is it the empathy thing you have an issue with? Empathy doesnβt mean never calling out bigotry.
04.08.2025 13:02 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0What hypocrisy? I never said bigots shouldnβt be called out. I made pretty clear that my issue was mockery of vulnerable groups for immutable characteristics. And I havenβt done that.
04.08.2025 13:02 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Not cool. Just accurate.
04.08.2025 12:45 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Ok, well if you chose your words carefully, and meant them, youβre a bigot. Again, literally no one is defending Abbott. You just have a mental block against actually listening to others. Whatever your situation, thereβs no excuse for bigotry. I hope one day you heal enough to see that.
04.08.2025 12:23 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0No one is sorry if it would upset Abbott. Heβs a piece of shit and I hope another tree falls on him. Thatβs not at issue.
04.08.2025 12:19 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Itβs bigotry, whether you know it or not. You are saying there is something lesser about people with mobility issues every time you make that joke. Not just Abbott, people with mobility issues. If youβre ok with that, I canβt stop you, but I can and will call it out.
