You are entitled to think this is about mutant in general, absolutely, but it won’t be any less way off base.
Uppity and organized? I’d like you to take a good look at my signature before talking about the fear of what they could do.
It’s a good thing to see how you are trying to project real world issue onto something that as no equivalent in the real world. I already said to someone else not to do that, because it made no sense at all. Mutants are born with superpowers. IRL, people aren’t born with guns as extra-limbs on them. Your skin color doesn’t kill your neighboor. Your faith doesn’t kill your neighboor. Your sexual orientation doesn’t kill your neighboor. I’ll just leave it at that, the difference should be plain enough for anyone to grasp it. You won’t caught me talking about the US and their gun laws either, suffice it to say that you are hilariously off-base with your whole “oh, you think that way about A.I.? So you must cling to the absurd argument that nothing about U.S gun laws/regulation should be changed and that instead we should just have MORE guns in the hand of “good guys”.
That’s what putting words in someone else’s mouth is, and that’s not a good look from here. As to answer your question, the same way you recruit law enforcement officers in high calibre jobs. I won’t debate about how the US do their recruiting, and what their policy about weapon usage is, but there are countries who happen to have good, wholesome, fair and completely unbiased humans as law enforcers. Now, I’m not like some around here who pretend that everything is perfect, it’s not. But accountability and law should prevail whenever someone get out of line, especially when said someone is supposed to enforce the rule of law.
Again with the putting words into someone else’s mouth? Especially someone you know NOTHING about? Making a lot of assumption I see. I’ll just repeat what I just said “accountability and law should prevail whenever someone get out of line, especially when said someone is supposed to enforce the rule of law”. This is not a political thread but, the US are certainly not on the top of the chart when it comes to “rule of law” and “accountability” so the next step should be about how those two can be enforced in the SYSTEM as you put it, rather than disparaging the *absurd* notion that yes, indeed, not everyone deserve to be thrown under the bus for the shortcoming of some among them. The fact that you go out of your way to make parallels like the ones you made AND proceeded to then put words into my mouth TWICE is Trumpian in itself IMHO. Polaris and others like Magneto can have an history explaining the reason why they see the world the way they do, it doesn’t change the nature of those words. It doesn’t change the nature of the acts committed in the name of genetic supremacy. It doesn’t change the fact that you find entitled supremacists in both branches of humanity in that comic book series. Yes, even among mutants.
See, that’s actually the one parallel you made that actually made sense to me, but you had to go out of your way at the end to basically accuse me of being an homophobic. After having said I reminded you of Trumpian mentality earlier. And being a gun apologist before that. It’s a funny picture that you seem to have drawn in your head when again, you literally know nothing about me, my life, my experiences, nothing. You just know where I live, that’s it.
That’s the third time you’ve made assumptions about me, I’m not particularly impressed tbh. Still, I get what you are saying and yes, there is certainly merits to watch that scene from such perspective. It doesn’t negate the religious undertone/imagery throughout though IMO. Moving on.
