My first comment: "If we had anything resembling a reliable system for rehabilitation of violent ideologues in this country your plan would be a good one"

My second comment: "Reasonable but has no chance of happening in the US right now"

Does that actually register as a backpedal to you? Are you sincerely stupid or just that desperate to pretend I'm not 100% right?

I'm sorry you didn't understand, but it was abundantly clear that the punishment I described was meant for the current system.

You kept disagreeing with that and engaging on the point. You insisted that they must be locked up for an extremely long period of time. I rejected that was being the only option ubder the current system. Then after pointing out that insisting they are locked up long term is supporting slavery you began to backpedal.

Sorry I didn't entertain your other hypothetical.

But yeah keep doubling down and insulting others. That's the way to make an argument

Lol so that's a yes on "desperate to pretend I'm not 100% right"

The classic flip the table and declare victory approach. It's certainly an approach

I said the same thing twice in a row and you tried to call it backpedaling, you are a joke
