As a general rule whether you're trying to go for formal debate or a casual persuasion, pointing out your opponent's hypocrisy is not useful for a bunch of different reasons but this seems to form the core of most modern debate.
There are exceptions to this but in general you should not do this

Op sec tip I forgot to mention: don’t get friendly with the cops or believe anything they say. But if you have “inside sources” who make you feel like a Very Important Boy, that’s called the Will Stancil Exception and please do tell everyone, it’s great to brag about being a fed!

I know everyone thinks they're being clever by saying that America is two continents not a country but it is also an endonym for the United States of America that is extraordinarily widely used.

While I was watching it I kept waiting for some musical number or narrative section to touch on the contradictions and hypocrisy of the American revolutionary project but it's like only one or two lines in the whole fucking thing. The whole thing is just absolution for white people

If you say that you're anti-fascist because you don't like Trump but you like Israel you're not anti-fascist.

No, Chuck, you’re making them the fifth highest paid military in the world. You ain’t reforming shit.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

What you guys need to understand is that if you want me to take your accusations of racism/misogyny/transphobia/etc. seriously, you first need to satisfy the gateway criterion of not acting like malicious freaks who are incredibly thrilled to make those accusations. Then we can talk like adults

If there is a list of 100 people from best to worst where the best person is number one, mainstream media will find number 86 criticizing number 91 and portrayed as some sort of genius clap back because 86 is within the Overton window at the moment.

It's highly likely that when Tom Homan just visited Minneapolis City Hall that mayor Frey gave out some concessions.
Whether we will ever learn about these concessions is yet to be seen.
I don't trust you if you voted for mayor frey. Seriously WTF were you thinking

I'm sorry but I just really don't give a shit that ICE went to City Hall in minneapolis when they were almost certainly summoned there by the mayor who's a piece of shit, and invited for piece of shit reasons.
It's far more important what sort of backroom concessions he's currently giving out

Some of the people that I have met in the community since this began are the most competent, focused, passionate workers I've ever seen. This idea that anarchists/decentralized movements would be like herding cats falls apart immediately in this real world example.
Stray thoughts from occupied Minnesota:
After 30 years in the workforce, I can tell you the volunteers in my community defense groups are the most dazzlingly hypercompetent coworkers I have ever encountered. Just thunderous excellence 1/x

Having contact with ICE is so profoundly dangerous I wonder if this is why he was actually kicked out.
This isn't like a journalist talking to both sides of a civil war somewhere this is actively endangering people

Bro it's so bad. Stancil is admitting he's in contact with ICE, he's filming faces and getting into it with militants at protests, all kinds of foul shit.

The game Starfield had some shining lights that stood out but oh my god there are some parts of that game where I am the biggest hater of it alive.
The procedural generation and the points of interest are so bad that Bethesda should have gone into crisis mode the moment somebody play tested that.
