Firstly, the tweet was put out by war criminals, not by gay service members, so let's get that out of the way first.First I never said you didn't respect them so strawman. Second, it was released by the marine core who are not all war criminals (there is that tendency towards reductionism again)
Quote:No one said gay service members can't have their own little symbol or whatever, or the pagans, or Satanists or whoever. They can have their own little thing. That's not what any gay person is outraged by right now. These US government bullets should be taken seriously, based on the gravity of the damage they have caused. They've killed hundreds of thousands since 9/11. Some say it's a million plus. This is not to be taken lightly, taking the government bullets that are used to unjustly kill brown people and spray painting them with a symbol that was created to stand for the exact opposite of the military industrial complex. I'm 100 % in support of the 2nd Amendment, but military bullets represent the MIC and the killing they've done and are continuing to do to brown people.I never said you or anybody else said they couldn't so again strawman. And again the military is not defined by its worst aspect so this whole objection can be dismissed as irrational. Bullets by the military can be used justly or unjustly like any other bullets.
Quote:You bring up the police in Pride parades. Actually, a whole bunch of pride parades have kicked out the police from participating. And if you're seriously going to sit here and try to pretend that you wouldn't be offended in the least if Brianna Taylor was gunned down with a gay pride bullet out of a police gun, then I just don't believe you. You're only making a fuss here because it's me, and because you refuse to side with me on anything.You are free to believe what you like but in reality, no one was killed with rainbow-colored bullets and I the cops put out a Twitter post with bullets with BLM colors I wouldn't care as I don't associate every bullet with Brianna Taylor because I'm not an idiot. And your egotism that you are important enough to me that i would go to such lengths is beathtaking.
Oh look. Whaddaya know? It was actually Helios that created the hypothetical of BLM bullets, and then later on in the thread he calls me a moron for bringing up BLM bullets when it was his own creation.
