Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

could we please stop with the cowardly spineless cynicism?
we want the usa to improve, yes?
so we don't speak in mindless capitulation that is not wise, is not useful, and just boils down to useless whiny "everything sucks forever, waah"
we speak of how we can improve things and work towards that
cynicism is acceptance of fascism
the cynic is MAGA's best friend
@benroyce This is not cowardly spineless cynicism. It's realism. We need to do something now and not wait for elections. Waiting for elections that are very unlikely to happen fairly is what is spineless.

This threat would be more believable if Obama had prosecuted the Bush war crimes.

nobody said "wait for elections"
so don't speak of realism when you feel a need to insert a lie into what someone else wrote, and in fact stands in contrast to what they wrote
showing you don't have much grasp on reality and realism
the cynic very much blocks reality with their empty spineless hopelessness
that is the problem

@georgetakei Has any U.S. administration ever prosecuted American war criminals?
@diesch @georgetakei Kissinger won the Nobel

@benroyce I said "bold of you to assume there will be elections." and you are having an extreme emotional response to that and attacking me as a person because I said we have to do things now, before the elections, when you responded angrily to a comment I made that had only to do with elections.

oh i'm sorry for commenting topically on your ignorant lie about my words and changing the topic to some inaccurate bullshit about "realism"
please excuse my terrible transgression
but thanks for changing the topic and avoiding my point, which means you get it and aren't honest enough to admit it, or you can't read at all
oh wait, we already established that

@benroyce Your reaction is very strange and over the top. I hope you get help.

@benroyce I am not the one whining, guy. I'm not upset that you replied to me. I am not upset. You, however, seem VERY upset about a comment I made in reply to a celebrity. Again, I hope you get help.

I’m becoming more and more convinced that cynical defeatism is being intentionally astroturfed and amplified in left-leaning online communities all over the internet by malign actors.

@Jakenke @swordgeek @georgetakei
some is troll psyop from MAGA and geopolitical actors. maybe not paid troll farm, just random edgelords enjoying a game
but entitled, lazy detached people who consider themselves on the left is also real
a mirror image of MAGA in terms of a rotten society. these fake leftists are as bad as MAGA
fake leftists because they do not have an ideological position, they have a psychological position
they don't care about improving society, they care about whining

@Jakenke @benroyce @swordgeek @georgetakei Have you considered not playing their game? So long as people drink the cool-aid (left or right) they retain control. Here's a great example of Trump ( #Taco ) blinking...

@benroyce @swordgeek @georgetakei you’re right. I still observe myself being being sarcastic or cynical to cope with all that shit, but I also realize that this won’t improve anything. There’s still hope.

@ManyRoads @Jakenke @swordgeek @georgetakei
well we feel a need to call it out
george writes a hopeful post and you can see under george's top post above many comments exhibiting this sort of dissipated, ineffectual impotent mindless cynicism that is all too common in the world
and only serves to help MAGA
so we'll call it out
it may be pointless for the person we are responding to, these whiners often seem too far gone and insincere
it's for the sake of everyone else reading along

@georgetakei This is why Trump & Hegseth are firing Generals & Admirals. They want leaders that will disobey the USMJ and International Laws about wartime actions.

@lordkhan @swordgeek @georgetakei
self-awareness
you have it, to your credit
and i as well can feel bleak. we all do at times
but it seems to be a dying artform in this world where some can pull themselves out of it, and others wallow in it and make it their entire identity
defeated people. learned helplessness
they only serve as an aid to MAGA
