Then that’s a you-empathy problem.
As I said, most of humanity does not rise to the occasion when their number comes up. Biden was no different.
You didn’t stop Trump either. I hope you don’t get cancer, and if you do, I will extend my empathy your way.
Nah, I still extend empathy to people who didn’t do enough. That’s like 99% of humanity.

In a 2026 interview, she said she believed Ukraine was a victim of Russia’s violation of its sovereignty, and that diplomacy with Russia should be pursued.
I like using the more specific term.
In US law treason pertains to helping enemies wage war on the US; it requires the US be at war and you are helping its enemies.
I’ve only seen people use “chud” as in “person I don’t like,” so I think you’re just advocating for everyone to kill each other.
Because scapegoating to appeal to the confused and angry masses is highly effective.
Humans are tribal first, rational second.
endorsing some almost ML/tankie people who don’t support Ukraine and essentially think the US could never and has never done any good ever.
Who?
Yeah but you see how you’re making an argument for why we should call something a “bug” instead of a “spider?”
I like being specific. Yes, the broader term technically works. You don’t have to convince me of that.
I made it very clear what I wanted to talk about in my first comment.
Yeah I know, and my point this entire time has been that’s not what the rest of us were talking about, so it’s bizarre to see you ignore the topic at hand to divert discussion to yours.
Ironically, you’ve kinda made my point by trying to fight me with zero information to go on.
I find it interesting how much you don’t want to talk about those two subjects. Is that because you support blocking strikes and Israel’s genocide?
Nope.
Can’t help but notice that you haven’t mentioned you dislike child predators once this entire comment chain. I find that very interesting. Is that because you’re on the Epstein List?
The point is parking close to rapidly respond to calls for service.
At least that’s my interpretation, anyway. I never considered people might want to park there off-duty just to shop.
Yeah, I totally get it, you’re trying to wrestle control of the wheel to divert the discussion into something you want to talk about instead. That’s called a “Red Herring.”
But look at how red this herring is! How can you deny this?
As I already said and you already replied to, “insurrection” is a better word to describe 1/6.
The last three paragraphs of your comment appear to just be virtue signaling, maybe because you assume I disagree with you.
I’m aware of that, which is why I said “too broad.”
Yeah bad faith is the wrong word, more like “pendantic jerk.”
Honestly it’s the classic Vanguard Party shenanigans you’d expect from lemmy.ml people; why use soft power/diplomacy when you can crank things up to aggressive?
Wal-Mart is kinda the Mecca of shoplifting; it’s turbo-corporate oligarch despotism so nobody feels guilty about shoplifting from them, they’re usually located central to low income areas, and everyone assumes they don’t have the budget to have a robust loss prevention department (they do; it’s one of the most robust I’ve ever seen).
Wal-Mart was a huge generator of calls for service in my patrol area, so much so that our county government had hash things out over multiple meetings and eventually write an MOU with them to stop calling us over $20 shoplifting cases.
That’s the meme, but I think it’s more that insurance companies spend fortunes to bribe lobby for politicians to vote against it, not to mention fortunes in propaganda to push the narrative that universal healthcare is more expensive.
It’s a gamble, to be sure.
But the gamble of inaction and apathy isn’t working very well either; I’m sure you can point to just as many horrifying historic examples of when doing little to nothing didn’t work out.
All that to say, “Sometimes things don’t work out” is true but not very helpful unless you intend to feed apathy, at which point it’s a highly effective strategy.
A very good point that differs from your previous.
Goal-post moved and scored.
