Engaging in conversations with people like you is a severe intellectual defect of mine constantly on the forefront of my mind, don't worry.

> There's * dozens* of mass killings that prove its not uncommon.

Do you know what are there dozens of examples of also? Protests that didn't result in lethal weapons being used, or weapons similar to LRAD and ADS. But that doesn't fit the convenient headcanon you oh so desperately want to corner people into "debating" with you, so that's of little concern I imagine.

You keep citing unicorns on my end, yet the only thing that seems to matter to you are your own fantasies, where options other than being Tienanmanned or being sound cannoned don't exist. No, sound cannons shall be fucking awesome because they do not directly kill, and indirect kills don't matter probably because of some other tirade about unicorns. Permanent damage also doesn't matter for similar reasons. It's all black and white, and the point is that everyone else is wrong and just a pussy, and you're badass and right. Congratulations. A real thinker of our time.

> since I don't ride your high horse I'm a bad guy of fantastical proportions

Oh, no. I think of you way lower than just a "bad guy", in good part because a language model demonstrates better reasoning, intellectual honesty, and self-reflection abilities than you do, all the while not deflecting in a hilariously performative manner to accusing the other of moralization.

> Its weak minded thinkers like you that prop up the evil cabals of this world.

Mirror. Now.

You're the one taking the stance of "but at least they didn't die so it's okay', you're the one preemptively victimizing yourself by people who dare to fault their govt at all, and then YOU HAVE THE GALL to call such people the enablers, and the weak minded. "Bad guy" my ass. You yourself are the cabal.




OK some protests aren't attacked. Agreed. In so called non Democratic countries they tend to be arrested/ imprisoned/ killed.

Uhm. So what? Some protests never happen. Some protests people wear pink hats. Some protests people stay home. So what?

I think being dead is more permanent damage than hearing loss will ever be. So yeah. They're not dead.

Lots of pussies are right and real men are wrong. Not sure why you bring up pussies?

Your high horse is kindergarten clear: bad guys did something bad and we're supposed to have moral outrage or were gonna be condemned

I refused your childish narrative and asserted my right to assert the morally superior position of life over hearing damage: I choose life.

I never called anyone weak minded nor did I say sonic or non lethals were "OK". But you seem weak minded so maybe one person.

Protestors are gonna be suppressed. Gas, arrest, mass beatings, kettling, mass shooting, etc. What does not kill them makes them stronger.

Despite your weak minded analytic skills I appreciate your reply. Please try harder next time even though I know it gives you a head ache.

Cheers.


> nor did I say sonic or non lethals were "OK"

Nobody argued that getting killed protesting is better than being sound cannoned either, but that didn't stop you from assuming that, trying to corner people into saying so, and acting hostile as all fuck, hence this entire thread.

Glad we cleared it up. I guess like protesters getting suppressed being generally true, discussing anything with an intellect of your caliber carries a similar general penalty. Definitely a valuable way to frame it that I'll keep in mind moving forward.

> Please try harder next time even though I know it gives you a head ache. Cheers.

Enjoy.
