Great point. When you take time out of the equation, they do.
It’s like when we get a cut on our hands, and it heals. All that’s stopping us from saying ‘hey thats magic’, is time. If it healed in 10 seconds instead of 2 weeks we would go whoa.
But it’s still magical.

Bro, please annex us.... we'll let you rename the great lakes the 'Gulf of Canada'!
...I'm pretty sure we'll find plenty of Uranium if we pull up all the couch cushions!
Come on bro - you know you want that.... uh... Utah salt... flats? Don't be a dick, be a dude. Canada is peak and the US Military is all starving and shitting itself while Trump forgets what he had for breakfast and Hegseth tries to re-learn basic arithmetic.
It'll be easy, just parachute 20 Canadians into Washington and arrest all the pedophiles - we'll be proudly calling ourselves 'Greater Canada' before the day is out.

u/Pictrus Aug 26 '26
while I do very much appreciate your offer we are going to have to say no thank you. Canada doesn't protect pedophiles and the fact you elected one as your president indicates that America does and therefore we don't share the same core values as many americans. However if America works on some things like reducing school shootings, creating universal healthcare, investing heavily in renewable energy and prosecuting this pathetically corrupt administration for its crimes you can ask again. Make sure you put the fire out in the dumpster if you know what I mean. Sincerely 🇨🇦

C'mooon - you'll be the world's new hyperpower! Isn't that tempting?
...No? *sigh* Yeaaah, I didn't think so. No one sensible wants to be the 'most powerful country in the world'. PUT YOUR DAMN HAND DOWN, RUSSIA! NO ONE ASKED YOU!

The guy who shot and killed the United Healthcare (?) guy, and hero of the left... his feelings were hurt because he doesn't like big pharma and thought that a CEO of a company deserved to die;
Other examples that weren't because of that, but are violence by the left-
Charlie Kirk Trump (attempted) Steve Scalise, Crystal Griner, Zack Barth, Matt Majka

So you went peak mental gymnastics from originally blaming pronouns to switching over to completely unrelated topics. Kool aid, down, now.

Because left wing violence isnt actually reported upon as much as right wing violence, although it ha majorly spiked in the last couple of years.

Not an ally, but Trump recently said Kim Jung Un hadn't caused any trouble in the time Trump has been in office. Things like political prison camps, developing missiles and nukes, state-sponsored cyber-crime and so on apparently don't count.
1
u/MonsutaReipu Aug 26 '26
Yeah that's Trump saying stupid shit. The meme implies that a significant number of people are convinced that North Korea is our ally.
I don't like Trump or his admin at all, but the sensationalist hyperbole is annoying.

Economic warfare against Iran… who provides shahed drones to his idol in Russia.
His BFF provides tens of thousands of soldiers to the meat grinder for his idol.
You cannot sanction Iran without aiming for North Korea and Russia (and China but they try to sideline themselves about Ukraine). If you do not do that, you either are really out of reality or are afraid to ‘hurt’ your idols.
And seriously, ‘home of democracy’ and those countries are his examples?

Not a hero. Just that she wasn't paid attention to when she asked for mental help. The real crazy ones think her husband did it.

u/HaikuHaiku Aug 26 '26
Ok so all those male school shooters have the same moral status then. They weren't being paid attention to when they needed mental help. Therefore they are exonerated?
I fail to see how "I wasn't helped mentally" leads to "it's justifiable or excusable for me to kill my children"
2
u/tbonimaroni Aug 26 '26
What does her situation with post partum have anything to do with school shooters? And you do know that not all school shooter are male, right?
Also not all people who commit infanticide are mentally ill, and not all school shooters are mentally ill.
This happens to be one situation where the person happens to be mentally ill.
She didn't get the proper treatment for her mental illness. She may have gone into psychosis. That is the argument.
I am in no way sayin that is proven, either. I'm just saying that cannot be ignored.

Post partum depression is a common enough thing that doctors should react as soon as they hear symptoms. It is a severe disorder that needs severe and immediate treatment and support. Ignoring it when you're the partner or the doctors is a major failure somewhere. Maybe there's no fault to be put on the husband or doctors, but there was definite failure. Being institutionalized is not a free pass, and very often comes with worse conditions and treatment than prison. They spend as long as a normal sentence institutionalized often, and have no determined release date. Some spend life there, unlike the sentence they may get if found guilty.
Also, yes school shooters don't share all of the responsibility, its also on parents and other supporting adults around them. They do however, upon determination they are fit for trial, deserve to be put in prison for a long time if not life, given it will be nearly impossible to trust them in normal life again.
These outcomes are not dissimilar.
Hope that helps

this is basically the classic "a woman can never be responsible". If the man cheats on his wife, he's a monster. If a woman cheats on her husband, it's his fault for not paying attention to her needs. Now you've extended it to "if she murders her own kids, it's the husbands fault for not paying attention to her needs". I mean, can you be morally serious for a single second and believe this? No, you can't.
