  • The government has always had it out for protestors, to the extent that they'll try and use agents provocateur to escalate the situation. They don't want people to protest, they just want people to life back and take it. C'mon, you seriously asking this?

  • I think they expected there to be a tsunami of sympathy when the missiles struck.

    The backlash against the American bombing of Iran, and even some actual support for Iran on social media has to be highly unnerving for them.

  • How fucking stupid would it be for Trump to make this sort of escalation to stir up a hornet nest that pisses off his MAGA base and people from the left while drawing international condemnation...and for the effort to be a failure.

  • Our government is exceptional at dealing in violence but inept at handling threats that it can't beat, shoot, or bomb into submission.

    The societal response and government handling of COVID was not at all reassuring. To the point that I let go of any last remaining shred of hope I had for us to turn this ship around on several metrics (e.g. climate change). And unfortunately I think it has gotten even worse, e.g. with the (at least apparent) increase in anti-vaxxers.

  • It usually goes something like that. I’d like to point out here that there isn’t a constitutional right to wear pants or eat bacon either.

    One could similarly say that the right to wield violence does not mean that you have the right for that violence to actually succeed. Some situations allow for the legal use of deadly force, but that still does not mean the explicit right to kill. If a threat is neutralized and they survive, you can't "make sure" that they don't.
