  • I'm in a union that is about 70% women. A woman leads the union. Women get special delegates to the general meeting as do other minorities. You cannot criticize this without getting into some trouble.

    I'm a lefty and I cannot safely discuss this. It's very frustrating.

  • Sorry I don't understand, you want a source about the protestors getting their accounts frozen, or about the coverage of that event? I've seen both but the meta-coverage will be harder to find because it is largely confined to Medium/Substack/blogs/etc..

  • Also easier to work on than most guns.

    That's a great point and it's unfortunate I didn't think to add it.

    This “the right wingers like it so boo” mentality some (not you ykwim) have is bonkos, they also like water y’know?

    lmao I know what you mean. Conservatives grow and eat tomatoes too, we going to stop eating those now?

  • Let's pretend any of that actually matters and the US government doesn't have a history of losing to locals, and ask the following: what happens if you willingly disarm yourself? Criminals will still have guns, your police will still shoot "less-lethal" rounds into the heads of protesters, and you will still be oppressed.

    What do you get out of this? A fraction of the illusion of safety? And all it cost you was the last defense against oppression anyone has.

  • The rulings testing the militia part of the clause go back a long way establishing it is not a necessary part (and certainly it doesn't read that way).

    Also Everytown's ideas are not based on evidence or even common sense. They can fuck right off.

  • I understand some people might look away from the AR-15 because it's the gun everyone has which takes away from the cool factor, or maybe you just dislike its connotation due to high use among right-wing folk, but this person speaks the truth.

    AR-15s are common because they work. Customizations and spare parts are cheap, effective, and widely available. So are good magazines, which are typically a shockingly difficult part to design well and the place where many otherwise decent guns fail. .223 Remington has one of most varied supplies of ammunition on the market, beaten only by things like 12 gauge.

    Don't buy weird shit until you own one of these (or at least a pump-action 12 gauge ffs).

  • Here's a fun one: tell a conservative that rich people are doomed to go to hell. If they ask how you figure that, quote:

    It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God

    Without fail their programming will kick in and you will get some lengthy blog post with stupid reasoning about how what Jesus was actually talking about was some rock formation and some other dumb shit. Meanwhile you can just read the verses before and after for context and it's pretty damn clear what was meant: greed is a form of evil.

    This is the difference between reading the Bible and having it explained to you.

    Another fun one: tell them God prefers atheists to vague believers. Prepare for another programmed blog post about how Jesus was actually referring to the taste of the water at some town that completely ignores the context of the book itself.
