Can you name all of the actors that played Putties in the original English run of Power Rangers from the 90s?

See, I can set arbitrary, movable goal posts, too.

It doesn't work that way. FBI documents remain classified for 50 years before being accessible to FOIA. That means that we don't have the means to confirm culpability outside that 50-year window.

I can throw names at you. But here's what I know will happen in response. You will either;

A) Claim the person was not innocent. Despite conflicting claims, they either had a weapon, attempted violence, whatever. So they deserved to be murdered.

Or

B) The situation is not clear. Nobody was outright blamed. Details are fuzzy. Investigations were inconclusive.

Regardless of what I post, the outcome will never be "Wow, you're right. I guess law enforcement does kill innocent people without impetus sometimes." You will always move the goal posts and claim that I did not meet your burden of proof. Because you're arguing ideologically in bad faith. And since I'm not a fucking idiot, I'm not going to waste my time.

And if you want to say that you are, in fact, arguing in good faith, then my rebuttal is simple;

I'm not doing your fucking homework for you, Billy.

And everyone knows that the FBI was never involved in the extrajudicial killing of an innocent dissident besides that one time.

lemmy.one reading you loud and clear.

Put all your libertarian homies on watch. They're grieving right now.

So it's treason, then.

Dig in, folks. Time to bring the pain.

Cool.

I don't agree in the slightest with anything you said. I didn't ask as a means of debate, however, so I will refrain from any sort of counter-argument.

But I think the last part of what you said elucidates a lot. I think underlining that your values stayed the same, but your interpretations of how to best uphold those values being the part that changed gives some insight into the compatibility of your ethos. That's a very helpful for understanding others.

Thank you for answering truthfully and in good faith.

Thank you for answering.

Why do you believe the Equality Act tramples over transsexual rights and healthcare?

And do you think your conservative values are instrinsic, or a part of your upbringing?

I am not assuming they're American. I'm assuming they support American Conservative policy in reference to the instance that is primarily about American Conservatism being discussed. Which is how I asked the question.

I haven't the foggiest clue where this person is from or where they currently live.

I'd like to ask a question in good faith here, if that's alright.

If you are trans, why are you supporting American conservatives that platform policies against your health and existence?

I'm not asking as a 'gotcha,' because that lacks a compassionate curiosity. But I'm puzzled because these stances and identities seem incompatible and I'd like to understand better why, to you, they are.

You're under no obligation to answer, but I'm trying something new and pumping the brakes before I shut down curiosity to make a judgment. Whether you'll afford me that or not, is up to you.
