    Not sure why you gotta explain why “seeing a black pilot and wondering if he’s qualified” is racist. If you need further explanation, you may have more wrong with you than just racism.

      You took that out of context!! /s

      Fucking reddit is just slithering with people saying that shit and that he was a good Christian who never hurt anyone, and that he was murdered for “his opinion”. Most of them have gotta be bots. I cannot fathom arguing so hard to defend that fucking Nazi.

        They really are that fucking stupid, and any of the accounts that are bots are just parroting the morons who really do believe that shit. 77 million people in the US voted for Trump, some of them are on reddit.

          I mean I agree a lot of people are that stupid. But the way a lot of these accounts write and will reply ad infinitum makes me think they’re not real people.

            Morons parroting propaganda looks a lot like bots parroting morons parroting propaganda. Plus a lot of people are terminally online and full of piss and vinegar. Heck the most prolific posters on the Fediverse are active nearly all of their waking hours.

            Sure, it is probably amplified because that is how things go. They are probably in the middle of the pack to avoid standing out and the absolute worst or ‘obvious’ bots are probably just people who post too much and have a shitty worldview.

        they aren’t bots dude.

        sorry if it upsets you, but most americans are quite conservative. even so called liberal/left democratic voters.

        if you spend some time abroad you’ll be shocked at how fare more left/liberal most europeans are than americans. also canadians.

        fwiw most progressive/liberal types i have are all anti-racist… until they see a black/non white person walking down their street at night. then all the sudden they are ‘worried’ and ‘scared’. and if i laugh at that bullshit and tell them it’s just a preson minding their business… i’m a jerk who has no empathy for them and is ‘privledged’ to not fear black people or something…

        My question is why murdering someone for their opinion is necessarily bad, if someone is openly advocating for slavery then I don’t think it’s beyond reason to want to kill them. Same if someone is proposing child marriage as a concept. L

          Saying advocating for something awful like slavery or genocide is just an “opinion” is a bit of an understatement. And I don’t really find it useful to debate what is and is not a murderable offense in general. I would say killing is always wrong, but in cases as extreme as trump, it would definitely be justified. I wouldn’t say Charlie Kirk should’ve been murdered but also he ought to be dead.

          It leads super quickly to a might makes right society. It ensures that “minority” opinions (like LGBTQ+ should have rights) are either closeted or wiped out.
