Political funny pictures thread, part IV. Bring on the leather!

Some people are saying that to virtue signal.
It's easy to say that, when you're not in that situation.

Exactly! It is hard enough to imagine anybody even saying that let alone actually letting themselves or their kid get raped or killed and just saying "well, it was meant to be".

Is that Marx or Jerry Garcia? And does it make a difference?

He embarrassed the machine, back in the day he would be facing the bottom of the river instead of jail.

I know someone who told me that she wouldn't shoot anyone even if someone attacked her. Something to the effect that if she was going to be raped or killed, that's just fate. I asked what about her kids? Same thing. I kinda think if she felt the terror of such an attack and someone defended and saved her kids with a firearm, she probably would not complain a whole lot about them surviving her warped morality.

No, she would complain. Then she would sue the person who saved her and her kids for the trauma they experienced from hearing gunfire and seeing people get shot.

Some people are so ingrained with helplessness they are in danger of drowning if it starts raining while they are outside on their back.

Throw someone in a pool with arms/legs bound.
They will struggle.
No matter how much they say they wouldn't, because it's useless, they'll just die.

It's easy to "say".
Not so easy to "do".

Maybe this should actually go in the sad but true thread?

Sad, certainly. True? The left side of that image is true enough. The right side? It's been my experience that a man who spends a lot of time doing what Trump is depicted doing in the image, doesn't have a Twitter feed that looks like Trump's, and probably never ****ed a porn star while his wife was pregnant with his child.

Your experience in the world must be different from mine. I've met a lot of imperfect people that pray, in fact I see one everyday in the mirror when I shave. Of course someone else decided that the pic would be more accurate so they made a change that should please you.

I think that's true of a lot of people. Probably not true of this person. She's a pacifist and she thinks of suing just like she thinks of self defense. She has an image of what the ultimately moral person is, and she strives to be that. She's a Christian, but I'd say her image of morality is a mixture of Gandhi, MLK, and Jesus.

If her kids lives were threatened, and an armed citizen stepped in to save them, I think she would be deeply conflicted about her pacifism. I'm not sure how she'd resolve the dissonance. But I don't think she's that superficial that she'd resolve it by blaming the armed citizen. I think she'd try to find a way to adjust the rules of her pacifism in a way that would allow her to keep the core beliefs, while being simultaneously pleased that her kids are alive and well, and displeased with the use of deadly force to save them.
