It was largely an aggressive reaction to people advocating persistently for mass deportation. Happened months ago and I don’t think he ever let it go. | ||

I need to take a closer look at those. the original case that happened months ago? or the recent border-line ish ones? just asking to clarify for others; I don't have the links for either, only a vague sense of where to look. | ||

(ps: i'm not using fuck as a stance enforcer or something; i just fuck a lot, it doesn't mean much here) no what im saying at the beginning there is that while it might be inappropriate to say that they had a conscious, deliberate wish to die, it might be true that they still had an (unconscious) desire to die. if you read my sentence carefully, i am asking why someone like you, who criticizes liberal policies which assume homo oeconomicus pertains, refuses to see anything but homo oeconomicus when it comes to desire (ie "this makes no sense, no one wants to die, etc"). lastly i contested even this biopolitical logic of control (that only the "disordered" could possibly consciously wish to die), intimating that some people might consciously, deliberately wish to die, which you admit may be the case in extreme conditions | ||

RIP thread Might we need to add trigger warnings to keep the space safe? | ||
