‘We can be critical of those in power, and we can peacefully fight for our beliefs, but there is no place in any way, shape, or form for political violence of any kind in our beloved United States,' Springsteen said to the crowd.

Even tho most of Lemmy disagrees with that, I very much agree with Springsteen on this!

"...there is no place in any way, shape, or form for political violence of any kind in our beloved United States," Springsteen said...

Then maybe he shouldn't be praying for the safety of America's foremost perpetrator of political violence.

There's nothing wrong with hoping that someone doesn't get murdered.

I didn't say there was. The problem is in the dissonance/hypocrisy at work in his statement.

There isn't issonance/hypocrisy at all in his statment. He was saying regardless fo where you stand, political violence isn't good. And he's right. Just because edgy vegan 25-year old malcontents on Lemmy want a revolution, doesn't mean there should be one.

And by the way, they're won't be one. There will be no revolution. No eating the rich. And looks like Trump is gonna make it all thru his presidency. Even tho that really annoys Lemmy. LMAO

Yes there is, and I pointed it out in my initial comment.

Where did that come from? Are you okay? Do you need a hug or something?

You clearly have a big chip on your shoulder about some shit that doesn't involve me and isn't directly related to this post. I don't know who needs to hear it, but it's not me. I'm not these people you're bitching about. I'm just someone who thinks that if you truly believe there's no room for political violence in America, then when someone tries to put a stop to the biggest perpetrator of it in the country, you keep your fucking mouth shut for a change.

It's crazy to me that someone asking for not political violence is so controversial for you! lmao

Let me be clear: I do not believe calls against violence to be sincere when they are in support of one of the most violent, repugnant thugs in the world. I do not think murder is the answer but he's 80 something and nothing else has worked and a lot of other, much less monstrous people are dying because he lives to see another day.

Get some fuckin perspective! lmao

Lol.

Yeah fuck all those people who are being hurt or killed, or had their lives ruined, because of this guy. I can weather this just fine! I got mine!

Yeah, you definitely do need some perspective, and not whatever kind of bullshit babby philosophy you're on here. Like I said, people are being murdered every day because of Trump. If you think murder isn't the answer, then you should be all about stopping him, yet you're not. So you go suck his tiny limp mushroom while I go back to giving a shit about innocent lives. Ta-ta!

If you thin...

So then you are NOT against murdering the president. You are NOT against political violence. Ok. I didn't vote for him, but I don't think he should be murdered.

Stay mad all you want. But what has that anger gotten you? He's still president. He won twice. And he's gonna make it until the next president gets elected. But you keep screaming on Lemmy. Let me know how that works out for ya!
