Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 2, 2024

[u/tuesday_mod]

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

Are they insane, or are they just responding naturally to how fucked our healthcare system is and no one seems interested in fixing it?

[u/N0RedDays → u/Vagabond_Texan]

They are insane. The brokenness of our healthcare system comes from Washington, not from insurance executives.

[u/Vagabond_Texan → u/N0RedDays]

Right. Washington, and not the insurance companies denying claims.

If it was revealed that the shooter lost a loved one because due to a denied claim, could you really blame him?

[u/TheDemonicEmperor → u/Vagabond_Texan]

If it was revealed that the shooter lost a loved one because due to a denied claim, could you really blame him?

Yes, I can absolutely blame someone for murder. This is absolutely bonkers. This is what a generation of attempting to humanize murderers will do, apparently. Anyone celebrating this ought to be in jail.

[u/Vagabond_Texan → u/TheDemonicEmperor]

>Anyone celebrating this ought to be in jail.

For what crime?

[u/TheDemonicEmperor → u/Vagabond_Texan]

Creating this environment of violence. Clearly that's the only way to get ghouls to stop supporting and glorifying literal murderers.

[u/Vagabond_Texan → u/TheDemonicEmperor]

Can you cite an actual law for me to look at?

Otherwise, your statement seems like a clear violation of the first amendment.

[u/TheDemonicEmperor → u/Vagabond_Texan]

You have no first amendment right to incite violence, so no.

[u/Vagabond_Texan → u/TheDemonicEmperor]

And how is cheering for his death inciting violence?

You can claim they're being ghouls or whatever, but those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

[u/TheDemonicEmperor → u/Vagabond_Texan]

but those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

More incitement and threats, I see. Is that all you people on the left have?

You ought to be reported.

[u/Vagabond_Texan → u/TheDemonicEmperor]

You do know that is a JFK quote right?

[u/TheDemonicEmperor → u/Vagabond_Texan]

Is that supposed to make me feel better that your favorite socialist wanted to incite revolution?

[u/Vagabond_Texan → u/TheDemonicEmperor]

Yes... a Socialist that stood up to Communism when Cuba had missiles pointed at us.

That was certainly a take, I'll give you that.
