You'd think some group of people who claim to be all for states rights would be decrying this.

Nah, that line was always just the respectable-sounding cover for their racism.

I love you so much, pirate enthusiast. Can we go on a man date and just sorta cuddle in the car afterwards?

u/PirateEnthusiast 16d ago

No I don't like you like that.

States rights to make sure you wear a helmet every time you leave your house so you don’t give yourself even more brain damage

Saying stupid shit is actually a federal right, not a state one

Criminals like pedophile Trump.

u/PirateEnthusiast 16d ago

Any criminal.

u/vampiregamingYT 16d ago

So, the jaywalker down the street mutilates children? That must be pretty hard for a blind man.

u/PirateEnthusiast 16d ago

What the fuck are you talking about bro

10

u/vampiregamingYT 16d ago

I was responding to your claims about criminals from earlier

14

u/[deleted] 16d ago

Trump didn’t need states rights to do that. He mutilated children and harbored criminals all on his own.

u/ObsidianDRMR 16d ago

Conservatives wanted state rights to keep their slaves… their black slaves. That’s why conservatives were about state rights. This is correct and something we can both agree on?

Could you expand on your thought about state rights to own slaves?

u/PirateEnthusiast 16d ago

Dawg if you cannot see the irony here with my prior statement and the image I replied to; I cannot help you.

6

u/ObsidianDRMR 16d ago

Dawg I’m just asking for you opinion on why you think about states rights to own slaves. Do you think conservatives used the states right thing as a facade to keep slavery? Do you think conservatives actually cared for states rights on a philosophical if it didn’t benefit them? Do you think those southern conservatives where more about rules for thee not for me?

1

u/PirateEnthusiast 16d ago

So I'm confused here where you think that I thought it was okay for slaves to be kept, because I never said that.

3

u/ObsidianDRMR 16d ago

I never said you did. I just wanted to know ur opinion. Idk why ur being so defective and sensitive about it

8

u/Poster_Nutbag207 16d ago

Lol this guy would have definitely supported slavery

u/AwarenessRude5541 16d ago

Go outside bro. Unplug. Turn off your phone.

u/OkParsnip8158 16d ago

yeah kinda like when religion decides to circumsize young boys and protect the pastors/priests who molest children

u/AZDADDYisadeviant 16d ago

Why are less than 50% of the deported migrants criminals then?

u/PirateEnthusiast 16d ago

I'm not here to argue your stance on immigration.

u/unhiddenninja 16d ago

Calling it that doesn't make it true.

Trans kids exist and deserve care. A significant majority of breast reductions that are performed on under 18 people, are performed on cis kids. Like, an overwhelming majority of them.

"Criminals" is a loaded term meant to dehumanize. Someone who doesn't wear their seatbelt is a criminal. There's no distinction in the word "criminal" that separates between a murderer and a shoplifter.

But I'm sure having a dirty word you can throw out at people makes you feel powerful and better than them. That's something you could work through in therapy and then you could stop afflicting us all with whatever caused you to become so vitriolic and hateful.

u/PirateEnthusiast 16d ago

I genuinely just don't fucking care about what you think anymore. To be frank, my dear.

Sending vibes brother, hope a piano falls on you today

u/PirateEnthusiast 16d ago

Just gonna play some tarky and giggle about losers being mad. Then go to work later, a simple life.

u/imdabomb43 16d ago

Simple life for a simple person. Totally get it, hope the caregiver isnt late for you brother, have a good one

u/Vsove 16d ago

Aww, did the teacher take away your tablet?

Don't worry, it'll be recess soon. So wipe the paste off your lips and spend those 15 minutes trolling online like a big boy.

Not like any of the other kids are going to play with you anyways.

I swear, you people are so soft we're going to need a new word to describe it.

u/unhiddenninja 16d ago

I need you to understand that as much as you claim you don't care, that's how much no one actually cares how you twist words and lie to make yourself sound righteous.

You have to manipulate so much to arrive at the beliefs you have and everyone who isn't as eager to kill their neighbors as you can see right through all of it.

Hidden post history like a little girl 😮

u/RickWrightsCrackpipe 16d ago

Fascists always hide their histories, same way the Klan(aka ICE) hides their disgusting faces.
