I often find myself sharing similar thoughts when reading comments that seem reasonable at first, but go off the deep end.

She looks possessed.

This was posted in wild news and the mods there had the Reddit style pin “don’t make fun of her appearance ewe’ll ban youuu”

Bunch of loser assholes

It's difficult from the inside too.

The problem is people here are used to it being "the way things are" so they don't go through the mental exercise of trying to understand it. It's seen as perfectly normal, so it's never questioned.

In the US the sky is blue, water is wet, and police are assumed to have been justified any time they kill someone.

This was in response to shoplifting!? SHOPLIFTING!?

I guess that was on me for assuming the context would make this better and not 100 times worse.

Officer: don't need any diapers now, do you? Now go return them before I charge you for child neglect for making me shoot him.

But, didn't you read? The officers said that the car may have went in their general direction.

Stolen diapers for the one year old that the police slaughtered is justified to kill a black person.

God I fucking hate this world.

FFVII Revelation is coming. I'm stealing the black fucking materia and calling meteor myself

We are being very sarcastic, the disassociation helps me process a tragedy like this. There is absolutely no context that would make this justifiable, the fact that a judge still deemed it so shakes me to my core.

The Hannibal directive, is an official IDF protocol to kill captured soldiers. Oct 7th reaction included both mass shooting through civilian hostages on the day, and Helicopter mass firing on anyone running at the music festival. The genocidal bombing campaign that followed was specifically to avoid negotiations by exterminating hostages too.

So, your "tinfoil hat hasbara" bs disgustingly masks a far worse/extreme Israeli attitude towads "palestinian problem" than Mississipi's historical attitudes towards "dealing with the negro problem", which is if you lynch a few regardless of any guilt, it will teach the rest of them to stay in line.

Why do they even send cops to a shoplifting scene? Let the store deal with it. They have cameras, security guards, insurance.

No man, the problem is that you brought something completely unrelated to the post up. The complete blindside of a transition from one subject to the next in a completely unhinged manner is the "tinfoil hat" I'm referring to.

I hope she goes to hell

Henrietta from Evil Dead 2

I'm not even sure anymore if it's about the unborn children. I think it's just about hating women. The cruelty is the point.

Just imagine what we would be justified in doing if this is justified in the leadership class's heads.

Isnt this what Buddhists believe? Or was it Hindu? I forget.

Maybe we could make fun of where she lives instead.

Return them? Oh yeah, she actually bought the diapers in question.

Mississippi Goddam

Only an idiot can call the death of a 1 yr old justified, laws withstanding.

We're a deeply broken country.

Dont you have some law that officers only can use deadly force when their life or someone else’s life is in danger?

Qualified Immunity

Im sure a bootlicker like you will absolutely adore the concept.if only the police in France could just murder who they want... right? Then the cost of living crisis will be resolved and the schools will be fully funded.

Don't shoot when a human shield is being used is police training in most places. The transition is hateful supremacist cultures get "government justification" for it.

Last I checked Mississippi wasn't in Israel.

Conservatives love kids, until they're born.

That's what I don't get. Everything in the fucking store is insured! A $20 pack of diapers is insured! The store will get that back, take it up as a loss.

Sure you don't want to encourage theft, but shit happens. Oops someone accidentally walked out with one item. Sure send someone out to inform the customer, maybe they legit missed it. If you can't locate the customer or they already started to drive away, welp put that under accidental loss.
It's not that different from someone accidentally dropping a jar of pickles off the shelf. The store isn't going to call the cops because of an accidental jar drop.

But we all know it wasn't the accidental shoplifting, it's because she was black. That's the ONLY reason why the cops were called. Because of the color of her skin. And then the trigger happy racist as fuck cop saw that and shot first and never asked questions. It's past time there were serious fucking consequences for these fucking piece of shit pigs (cops).

I'd fucking boycott that fucking store and the owner. Force corporate to act over this shit.

No this was the response because she was black and shoplifting. It was 100% a race thing.

was sexually discriminated out by hegseths army of misogynists

Ha, good job.

You being a part of the military industrial complex means you (as you so eloquently put it):

still deserve some shame.

As for all the innocent fisherman, school kids and people your army (that you willingly signed up to join for a fucking paycheck) have killed, I'm sure they would all take being discriminated against instead of BEING FUCKING BOMBED.
You know they were real people right?

Fuck you for your service.

Bootlickers

Thanks but I dont see how I'm a bootlicker for thinking it's awful how police shoots someone?

Also, if you steal diapers and nothing else then maybe, JUST MAYBE you probably just can't afford them despite them being rather essential in raising a child. Which doesn't make it a non-crime, but it's probably a sign that you're actually in need.

And here I was thinking that raping kids, evading tax and making your country the lapdog of Russia should be punished more severely than stealing diapers out of necessity.

I'm sure the baby was a terrorist or something.

The Buddhist perspective is that we live in Samsara, which is the cycles of suffering perpetuated by craving, aversion, and delusion. That's the simplified version, but it really goes much deeper. But on the other side of the coin, they say that attainment involves the realization that samsara and nirvana are the same, and that the only thing that changes is your perspective. They're not different realms.

There are also different realms in Buddhism, ranging from various levels of hell to the world we live in and on up to various levels of heaven. But those are separate from the distinction between samsara and nirvana, and secondary to them, because an enlightened being could live in a hell realm without losing nirvana, and a deluded being could live in heaven and still be caught up in samsara.

The Hindu perspective is that we all live in Maya (illusion), and that the ultimate attainment is moksha (liberation), meaning you no longer have to be reborn into the world of Maya.

There are other distinctions, such as how karma functions and how it affects rebirth; and what dharma means and how it relates to karma. There's also of course the key distinction between essential selfhood or no essential selfhood (i.e. emptiness), but that part isn't as relevant to the discussion of whether or not "we live in hell."

I'd say the closest thing to what you're thinking of is probably samsara, but it is different.

There's also the Kali Yuga, which is a Hindu concept, and has more to do with the era rather than the realm. It's basically the last octile of the cycle before it reaches the absolute lowest of the low, and represents about 12,000 years of accelerating degradation and depravity before the final destruction of the world as we know it. Only after the cycle reaches the nadir is when the world begins to recover and rebuild/improve.

Hamas?

This is the same police station whose chief was just fired last month, for, get this, extremely vile racism.

Just a wild coincidence, I'm sure. Also just a wild coincidence that the racist chief of police didnt punish the child murder when he was caught being racist:

Since Vanderford took over as chief, Foster has separately faced at least two complaints that he used racially offensive language with co-workers, Mississippi Today reported in July and August. In the months leading up to the shooting, Foster referred to a Black officer as a “Black motherfucker” and directed another derogatory remark toward a white co-worker who has a daughter with a Black woman, according to internal department complaints.

There’s no indication that Vanderford took any disciplinary action against Foster, who was allowed to remain on patrol.

Wtf is this comment?

Tailing people ends up in high showed chases and kills others, not really an option.

Shoplifting a singular pack of diapers, btw

This world? Have you seen the French like every other year? Hungarians?

It's mostly americans that just complain online and do nothing. Ice kills people on the street? My boss won't let me protest. The president steals a few billions? That doesn't affect me. A new war doubles the price of gas and sends groceries through the roof? Oh, DC is too far away...

Yes more Twitter posts. So what?

As some late night host said (Stewart?): do you think immigrants are the ones who are rioting IN FRANCE?

Let me give you a hint: one of the places they rioted was the Bastille square.

Let me take a screenshot of this comment, it's too perfect.

Videos show black men with red, white, green flags so yes, it's not the native French. :)

Of course it's immigrants.

The fuck, America

So, about that revolution, America...

Lemmy is so fucking weird. It'll never catch on.

Screenshoting comments that prove you're an out of touch dumbass is a definitely a choice.

To your last point, The distance from Paris to Moscow is 1500 miles, while the distance from los angeles to NYC is over 2500 miles.

For the rest, yeah it's ridiculous, our turnout is not even a 10th of what it should be considering the insanity

The crime was not the shoplifting, it was being black. None of this is about the diapers.
