Germany's AfD gets a lot of publicity, but I'm betting on the UK being the next Western democracy to fall into fascism.
Elon supports them whole heartedly as well as the AfD. I dunno if the UK really has a specific party spewing it cuz I just kind of ignore the UK especially after Brexit. I'm sure it's multiple people with multiple parties already though.
To be fair in America you can easily predict murders... are they overly religious? Do they hit their spouse? More specifically have they choked their spouse. Next step is always murder. I can pretend I know this cuz of my degree but it's really just cuz I watch too many True Crime shows/videos.
Also you can just check if they are poor, they will end up (not pre-meditated) murdering for food or money. I guess we should say ultra-poor at this point in American life.
This is a bunch of "facts" that reflects your experience as a television consumer.
Religiosity does not predict odds of committing homicide. Domestic violence is indicative of higher risk, but "always" going to murder is an absurd extrapolation that isn't statistically backed up. My ex liked hitting me and throwing things at me, yet here I am.
I've no idea what you're on about with making this a class issue. Rich people are just as likely to kill their spouses; they just know how to get away with it by outsourcing.
I think you combined both statements as one. And should come back to me when you're sober.
Two separate things champ. Have a good day. I'm really sorry you're trying to make excuses for someone assaulting you though. That's a weird hill to... die on.
I beg you to please seek help cuz it's not cool to defend someone hitting you just because YOU survived. That's called anecdotal evidence, definitely untrue in the real world. Again, I have a degree. And I would love to take this to a private conversation if you want.
I'm not a fan of you accusing me of being altered. It's not a great look for you, either.
And I'm also not a fan of being talked down to. I'm going to leave it there, as you're making assumptions and twisting my words to make what you said somehow make sense.
Please, don't take this to a private conversation if it's not a private matter. The topic you were discussing would benefit others and being open offers the chance for someone to jump in with a unique perspective.
Now, about the way you expressed your opinion on the assault received. I don't have a degree in psychology, but I believe you shouldn't so nonchalantly analyse someone's behavior after just one interaction and you definitely shouldn't treat it with levity ("to die on"). Also, personally, I think you should only advise people to seek help when it's for their on benefit, not because you don't approve their behavior. You might have had the best intentions, but the language you use is important.
Okay, I also... "personally" think it's fucked up to downgrade any psychical assault against a person. Which leads to death generally.
I guess I don't care about your feelings, I care about people never staying with abusive partners.
To be fair, I said... "if you want" which obviously they don't want to. That's not healthy but that's what they chose. You can hate on my language all you want but I am just trying to help a person.
