      No. That line of logic falls for me. There are plenty of things we’ve given the benefit of the doubt that we don’t cosign or believe in even hitler. I’m not willing to write someone off as being MAGA because they said a positive thing about Trumps FCC pick. He doesnt need to be MAGA for that tweet to be a bad thing.

      I am willing to lose trust in him for being stupid and thinking Lina Khan was a worse FCC chair when hes suppose to be an expert in this industry.

      It’s almost 2026 and people are still acting as if we don’t already know that you can not give any of them the “benefit of the doubt”.

        No such thing as neutral on a moving train. Holding still is going right. A little jog in place is woke. Running for a better life, is, well… antifascist. (Howard Zinn had a little essay collection?)

      Are all the people who said the Department of War name change was good because it finally reflects reality, also nazis? When the broken clock is right do we have to pretend it’s not or we are nazis?

        No. That’s a pretty bad example, and very abstract in the face of state-funded kidnappings and the gutting of state servants and service offices.

        You can sit in your toffit until you figure a moral compass out for yourself.

        I know which direction to punch. (up.)

          How is this different then? We have a progressive guy who keeps going against conservatives and against big tech, and liked when the broken clock Trump did something good for once and appointed an anti big tech person to head an anti trust division. How is this different from people liking the Department of War name change?
