    Voted against it directly, voted against it indirectly in every smaller election I’ve been eligible for since 2016, phone canvassed against it, volunteer for local orgs that are targeted by it, and am vocal on and offline against the Nazi rhetoric currently taking over our government.

    Why, am I only allowed to criticize evil if I’ve aimed a gun at it or something?

    What about you?

      You criticized people for “not lifting a finger” and get mad when someone asks which finger you personally lifted? You are only allowed to criticize people for living their life if you are not a hypocrite. It sounds like of the items you listed I’d describe 60% as barely lifting a finger (phone canvas, minimal value; “vocal” online, zero value) and 40% as definitely lifting a finger (volunteering at unspecified org) which makes you not a hypocrite by my personal math.

      I personally have no intention at all of answering your question because I didn’t make any statements as generally attacking as your own to start with, and feel no need to justify asking you to show your stripes.

      I am not sure where guns came into play. However, I don’t think you should be owning guns: you don’t seem 100% stable given the disproportionate response, and I would worry that disproportionate response would come out while driving or other stressful activities.

        Not lifting a finger means the literal bare minimum: voting. In the face of evil shitstains like Trump, a third of the country couldn’t even be bothered to color in a quarter-inch rectangle in opposition, they just shrugged and let it happen.

        …and that first half of this comment is more directed any onlookers who happen to wander into this conversation: As for you, your sea-lioning is glaring as all hell. Take that shit somewhere else.
