The evangelicals have been picking and choosing which bible verses to obey for so long that they think that's how laws work .

An evangelical is someone who believes that the only parts of the Bible that are not to be taken literally are those that instruct us to love our neighbor and feed the poor.

Rep. Dave Taylor says this is virtually indistinguishable from an actual American flag. Seriously.

Hell, I was just making a glib comment about Republican hypocrisy. I haven’t been confronted by this many semantic rabbit holes since I quit debating magats on the bird.

Nope, I was just making a glib comment about hypocritical Republicans. I never intended to teach a course on socialism. I’m sure there are many pedantic forums where you could engage in semantics all day long. Enjoy the rest of your day.

I’ll bet you’re a blast parties, arguing over semantics. A pedantic wet dream.

Charlie Fox @realseafox.bsky.social · 7h

You know when someone’s at a loss for an actual argument when they want to take you down semantic rabbit holes, especially concerning the definition of terms that have been debated for many decades. Not to mention the fact that there’s no such thing as a perfect model of any system.

You can always tell when someone doesn’t know how to respond to an argument when they take you down semantic rabbit holes. Republicans claim to hate socialism, yet embrace it when trump employs what they would clearly call socialism under Biden.

Fascism is private ownership not government ownership. What’s your point? There are no perfect socialist states communist states or capitalist states but government ownership of business is certainly a step in the socialistic direction.

Fascism does not embrace government ownership of business. Gosh, it’s like nothing fits into a perfect model does it? I stand by my point that hypocritical Republicans to cry socialism while they embrace Trump taking over private businesses. Forests and trees.

What is government ownership of the means of production?

trump is far more socialist than Zohran Mamdani. Not once has Mamdani had the government take ownership of private businesses. Only trump has done that. And the cowardly robber barons of the 21st century still grow fatter.

If you are more concerned about the use of the undefined term “assault weapon” as it is commonly understood than you are about bullets being a leading cause of death of US children, you may be suffering severe brain damage due to long term maga exposure. (btw, the fed awb expired in 2004.)
