Hearing people say shit like this makes me wonder if we should bring back the practice of legal dueling, minus the lethal weapons. It might cut down on violent political rhetoric if politicians who used it were promptly challenged to a fight by their strongest opponent.

Soccermom233 t1_j5qzo93 wrote

It's grossly conflating some biological truth with rights?

Because biologically women get pregnant they get to decide what's going on with their bodies?

Because biologically men are typically stronger they get to decide who they rape?

I think that's the 'logic.'

Unless he is trying to show how the woman being the stronger has the "right" to kill the weaker party, so the man should as well. See, connected logical thought, even if you don't like the conclusion.

Now, I don't know this guy, and have no idea what the context was he made this statement, or even if he really did, but hey, nobody else seems to care about these niceties, why should I/

No, he’s saying “women have the right to “kill” the weaker party, so men have the right to assault and rape women.” That is not a logical connection.

The logical connection is the strong preying on the weak. How hard is that to see?

We're actually #4, I think. Their list goes 1) trans folks, 2) tEh GaYz, 3) black folks, 4) women who aren't also covered by points 1-3. Notice how they absolutely did not stop with bathroom bills or sports bans, and are now coming after adults' private medical decisions. The same logic will be applied to everyone else in time.

Ask him if this is an accurate quote. If he says yes, continue the conversation with questions about how violence is ok. If he says no, be prepared to state the sources of the quote and keep questioning until he gives a thorough explanation of how the quote was wrong.

This is how a reasonable person acts. You can dislike something and still not outlaw others from doing it..

Everyone is so convinced that they either need to be 100% “for” something or 100% “against” it.. Social media has made it so sensible moderate positions are unpopular. Very unfortunate for society in general.

now that's embarassing! He is NOT A MAINER !

He is from Pasadena California and crawled here to live in the woods where he could enter politics Lockman is a 1967 graduate of Philadelphia-Montgomery Christian Academy in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. He studied liberal arts at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia and Pasadena City College in California. Around 1976, he began working at a sawmill in Passadumkeag, Maine.

I don’t think there is another state in the country this fixated on what state people were born in. It’s bizarre. He seems popular enough among the locals that they keep electing him, right? Do you think a loon like this would get elected in Pasadena or the Philly suburbs?

monsterscallinghome t1_j5g8dtq wrote

This strain of ugly nativism goes back to the arrival of the Famine Irish and French Canadians in the 18th & 19th centuries. The Know-Nothing Party used the Catholicism of the refugees to stoke hatred and gain political power. It's disgusting to hear from the mouths of otherwise sensible people.

The excellent book Hard Times, Hard Men: Maine and the Irish 1830-1860 by James H Mundy is an excellent resource on both the history of the Irish in Maine and the history of how cynically the wealthy (often themselves transplants from Mass & points south) have instigated, fed, and used this nativism to divide the working class of Maine against itself, lowering wages and increasing repression to the detriment of everyone but the rich.

Unable-Bison-272 t1_j5gb5to wrote

I left the state partially because of this miserable attitude. My drunk neighbor held a knife to my neck and told me if he killed me he wouldn’t be convicted because I was “a fa**ot from Massachusetts.” My last time in Blue Hill I went to a bar and ate a quiet meal and had a couple beers. The bartender asked me where I was from. I said Central Mass, Worcester area. Called me the same slur and pitched a fit when I didn’t tip him. Fuck this attitude.

Yeah he's a cunt but why does his birthplace matter? Plenty of cunts born in Maine. Paul LePage and Janet Mills were both born in Maine. You likely hate one of those kittens based on your hardline take.

weakenedstrain t1_j5grcd5 wrote

Proud of Mills, don’t agree with her much of the time. However, calling the guy who refused to honor MLK day while also blaming Maine’s drug problems on black guys impregnating white girls isn’t what I’d consider much of a “hardline take” and more common decency.

If they both seem the same to you, I’d suggest you look into their policies and personalities a little more.

cwalton505 t1_j5gs3mn wrote

Lol dude I didn't even put my opinion in here of either of them, just that the take on "being from maine" as a qualifier is bullshit. And your comment kinda proves my point I was making to OP.

2

weakenedstrain t1_j5gu2ea wrote

You can say it was me getting aggro all you want. You called them both cunts, and set them up as equals. If that’s your take, it says a bit about the value of your opinions.

My opinion: they’re not equal. Not even close. If that means I prove your point or I’m some kind of hardliner, I’ll take it. Making both sides look equally compromised at this point only elevates the reprehensible.

cwalton505 t1_j5h6omi wrote

No I didn't. I was just inferring that OP likely considered one of them cunts. And here you continue my point. Which is fine I hold nothing against you

I don't "do" hate. Take a look at the globe, we are all passengers in the same boat.

I was born in New Hampshire and my older brother in Boston. (Our parents were still in college). My grandfathers came from other New England states.

My parents were born in Maine, and have lived there close to 70 of their 80 years, but they're not "from there" according to some.
