Trumpite Americans, when will you finally acknowledge your leader is a Nazi?

Maine has a lot of Somalis, and our bigots have been shooting blood out of their eyes over them for 20 years or so, so this is raw meat to our MAGA slime.

Bigotry seems to the US' largest export.
I mean, that and bombs.

Maine have a lot of Lutherans?

I was curious why Seattle and the Twin Cities have the largest Somali communities and it turned out the Lutheran Church was very involved in Somali refugee resettlement and there are lots of Lutherans in both places.

*Googles*
Oh!! I'll say!!

Jesus Christ: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Lutherans, a large but relatively quiet sect of Christianity tries to follow those principles by protecting the exploited and rescuing the abused who are, in this case, Somalians.

Donald Trump, the current golden boy of the Evangelical Christian sect: “They contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88% or something. They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country,” He said. “Their country is no good for a reason. Your country stinks and we don’t want them in our country.”

Yeah I figured. One day it just hit me that generally East Africans all live in cold climates or in Seattle’s case temperate but as far away from East Africa as you can be in the continental US. Why not somewhere warmer or closer?

Turns out Lutherans generally live in colder places.
For us it was all the Scandinavians that came out to work in the fishing industry. Ballard (home of the National Nordic Museum) was once majority Nordic.

And I can never not post Almost Live:

Interesting how, when pulling a fabricated number out of the air, he went straight to "88."

When Jesus said that, he was quoting from Leviticus 19:18.

A bit further on, in Leviticus 19:34, it says: "An immigrant who lives among you should be treated just as one of your own people; you should care about him as much as you care about yourself." (The same wording as "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.")

Do the MAGA people really want the country run on Biblical principles?

Okay but let’s step back from this specific example and look at it in broader terms.

Lutherans

Pro:
-Seriously above and beyond in terms of East African refugees
-Beer cheese soup
-Hot Dish
-Swedish Pancakes

Cons:
-Lutefisk*

When it is all weighed and measured can we really say they are good?

*Worst Seattle tradition. You do not under any circumstances have to go to Ballard and shop the Christmas market (well this you should) and eat lutefisk (this you should not).

I have never tried Lutefisk so I get to argue from ignorance.

Oh, definitely not, but they don't have to. They can just say they do and their faithful followers believe them.

In media and pop culture, "Minnesota Lutheran" is practically a cliché, doncha know?

And while I've never had lutefisk (and never will ) it's more of a Minnesota thing in general, not limited to just Lutherans.

Every year this comes up as a Facebook memory I tag my Minnesota friends.

^ I couldn't help reading that with a Finnish accent. When I was going to Michigan Tech (a looooooooooong time ago...), there were "Finlanders" all around us. "Hey der, ya, you betcha, sure!" Some of these people were third generation, but the Finnish accent was still there.

Everything I argue is from a position of "don't fuck with me and I won't fuck with you." People who have a problem with that are generally engaged in contorted rationalizing of their own sacred privilege to fuck with others. You're oppressed, maginalized victims of an unjust society, entitled to unlimited validation and resources, and you're not truly free unless you're free from accountability for your own choices.

We've been through this before. You want the state to coersively impose your pet crackpot philosophies upon everyone and pretend that it's simply natural justice at work.

Describing yourself i see...

well Al you choose to be an asshole and have been called to account on it.....and you have been bitchin about it ever since, talk about trying to weasel. if you would just stop talking about half of the things you have no clue about but consider yourself an expert on. sometimes it seems you have a problem with people you don't like breathing how did they 'fuck with you'. you ain't even half of what you think you are

Which crackpot philosophies would those be? Expecting you to keep your hands off of me and my stuff isn't oppressing you, for fuck's sake.

Supporting your bullshit with absolutely fucking nothing, I see.

Why must you play the tedious game of pretending that you've never heard any of the objections to your own position before?

Your crackpot philosophy is your determination to place "property rights" above all other considerations, and to have that enforced with violence by the state.

Go fuck yourself. I don't answer to you for shit, especially not for offending your trifling sensibilities.

Weasel out of what? Have you convinced yourself you speak from a position of authority, you irrelevant little wrinkle biscuit?

I don't know, why do you have to camouflage your celebration of thievery and entitlement as righteous ideals that can only be opposed by heartless villains, rather than just owning your parasitism?

"All other considerations" is a bullshit exaggeration and you fucking well know it. I'll place my claim to what's mine over yours every time, yes. And if "violence by the state" is whiny leftoid-speak for having you arrested when you steal my shit, also yes. That's one of their few legitimate roles.

What would "owning my parasitism" look like? You appear to have a serious problem in grasping that views other than yours are genuinely held by others and that your position isn't just accepted by default.

"My claim to what's mine" is a circular and therefore contentless statement. You don't get to declare what is legitimate any more than you get to pretend that "having you arrested" is equivalent to "being left the fuck alone".

authority? no authority does not last it is a chimera. now experience that is something that cannot be faked..and experience is something i have in abundance. I am not sure how old you are but i am hoping you are a young man and maybe maturity might take hold. if not then it appears that the accumulation of years has mostly been a waste for you. as far as you not answering for shit i believe that is what you could call the post you made an answer so maybe you do answer............. the for shit part i will leave up to you. oh and as far a fucking myself luckily do that very little these days i have found thought before action is a valuable ingredient to avoid said self fornication again experience has taught me this. i am relevant enough to get a rise out of your ass-ets. it looks as though almost everything you said in your post conradicts what you said in your post. some of the best biscuits i ever ate were made by a sweet wrinkled old lady...... i miss her too

Iraq had property rights to its oil.
The US jacked Iraq.
UA put his fair share of their gasoline into his Jeep.
UA benefited from theft.
Look at that; libertarianism pops like a soap bubble in this fucked up world.
A strong breeze could have fucking done it.

By stating your opinions plainly instead of vaguely insinuating I have violated some universal truism, for a start.

Well you do seem a bit ashamed and reluctant to articulate specifics.

No it's not. I just didn't painstakingly lay out the process of earning money and buying things.

It wouldn't be if I somehow had you arrested for no reason, but that is not the case. And if working to earn it doesn't establish the legitimacy of my claim to what's mine, I suspect nothing will, which is no accident.

Nah I filtered out the drops that were from Iraq.

Twat.

:tldr:

Take your pills, Angry Baba.

You haven't violated a universal truism. Once again - you are acting like your own philosophical views are universal truisms. They are not.

I'm not remotely ashamed. "Socialist" is right there under my name on your screen. And I'm not throwing a tantrum every time someone has the temerity to suggest that they disagree with my views, as you are.

Or of primitive accumulation, or of externalities, or of exploitation, or of any of the billion or so other things that led to the current state of property relations which don't fall into your caricature and which lead to the entire thing being a crock of shit. You just want to announce by fiat that what you say goes and if anyone questions it, they're failing to "leave you the fuck alone". Cry more.

Your claim on good reason to have someone arrested if they fail to observe your declared property rights is another tautology. Of course you'd say that, but it's not self-justifying. And in no universe is it being left alone.

Brilliant riposte, d'Artagnan!
