Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    No, that’s exactly where things break down, because I’m not saying any of those things but some people here, especially .mls, always bring it up as if it’s some new thought.

    I’m saying they are complicit, but they are not the ones firing the guns. They are enablers. I’m not lifting any blame because they have blood on their hands, but I also don’t like exaggerating.

    And what’s more, it’s that a lot of these same people somehow blame Biden frequently and incessantly, even though Trump’s administration is doing exactly the same.

        Absolutely. I don’t understand this trend of overstating or exaggerating. There’s no need when they’ve done enough as it is.

        Same goes for other things, like lying about the harms of meat when advocating for vegetarianism. There’s plenty to point out without the need to lie.

          Fascinating. You realize no one thinks this way, right? There’s a reason for that.

          If you facilitate the murder weapon and then protect the murderer from consequences so they can keep killing, you are just as guilty of murder as if you held the gun yourself. That’s how felony murder charges work. If there’s a shootout during a robbery and someone dies, the getaway driver still gets a murder charge despite not holding one of the guns. Where’s the exaggeration?
