You aren't hearing a fucking thing we're saying, you're just on some soapbox repeating yourself instead of trying to understand anyone else.

You will change absolutely ZERO minds that way So congratulations, whatever moral high ground you might think you have, at the end of the day, you're still the only one with it. You're a credit to your cause.

No one has a violent fantasy here. No ones glorifying violence or even wants it here. You need to understand that first, cuz anything you say that betrays that understanding throws your entire ted talk out the window.

I WISH I lived in a world where I could trust everyone. Or at minimum, that I could trust the police. I am my most likely to die when I am around a police officer, even when I am unarmed. The good guy with a gun gets 58 bullets just the same, that means, if violence finds me, it's on ME to handle it, and end it, as fast and as lethal as possible, cuz I need that weapon stripped and laid out on the lawn before the police show up.

You know, if i want to survive the hypothetical exchange, that I didn't ask for.

Live your life how you want, you can hope and pray and close your eyes and say it won't happen to you. I can't afford that luxury.

Preach. I'll die on my feet before I serve on my knees. A good bolt action will almost guarantee you'll take a few with you. Right thru their body armor.

The thing about values and integrity is that these things aren't up for debate. My decisions been made, it is part of what I consider me, outcomes be damned. There is no future for me separated from my values. I accept whatever peace, wealth, misfortune, violence or death that that brings me.

And modern war, by the time America is involved, boots on the ground, will be over as soon as it starts. You really think a sufficiently equipped, advanced tech military like ours is gonna roll thru street by street, house by house.

Naw man. It's gonna be all artillery and then kill all life sweeping murderdrones. If you don't know several ways to mask your IR emissions, right now, then you're already not a serious combatant.

Fascism can rise in a democracy and the outcome still be a democratic majority. It usually does, in fact.

Just like North Korea can also be a democracy...it's just their culture never voted anyone out if power and it's a hereditary position, convenient for tlan autocrat.

China votes all the time. Being communist says nothing about his a government operates, it's a philosophical take in economic theory. Marx never defined a communist society, nor has the earth produced one.

For those in the back, Marx defined the abusive relationship between those with money and power and the victims of their diminion under capitalism. He also coined the term Capitalism. Marx said society has evolved from fuedalism to mecantilism (Adam Smith wrote a really famous book about this), to capitalism and will evolve into socialism and ultimately communism, where we all share in the wealth we all create.

And here's a life hack for ya. If you read Das Kapitol and understand it well enough that you can refute it, with notes and annotation, well then you'll never have to work another day of your life. This one simple trick... Economists hate it.

We were a more honest society then. The department of defense was appropriately named the war department, and not one of our many Orwellian jingoisms.

We also raised tax to pay for the war then too, and sold bonds to the public to fund it. Thats what part of the "war effort" at home was about.

Now we just devalue the dollar and rack up debt we will never pay. The rich already own everything money can buy, they won't give two shits when it's worth less than toilet paper. They've made out with everything of value while paying you less and less every year.

Stealing anything good any of us ever made with our wasted vitality and youth.

They're a fucking cancer that needs to be excised.

And y'know, all those free trips to Russia on the fourth of July that our Republican senators and Congressmen like to take, paid for thru anonymous donations to their PACs of course.

Dark money definitely isn't used to destabilize our government from operating properly or anything. Which is exactly what the generals warned about when they weighed in right before the SC ruled against their advice on Citizens.

I'm the end you'll get sick, lose your insurance, and the government will require you to sell off everything you own before Medicare will pick up the tab.

In other words, get used to that feeling.

They said it out loud at Davos a couple years ago. "You'll own nothing - and be happy"

We don't own anything. We just rent it, and if they can force you to liquidate it for medicine, than the only freedom your entire life bought you was the freedom to choose death over extortion.

Murica.

Well, Hamas continuing the fight from the other side of the Egyptian border, which would be expected, would just draw Egypt into the fight

Accepting the refugees is tantamount to advertising your land the new battleground, cuz Israel totes wouldn't lob missiles at refugees amirite?

Israel's already genocided a dozen times more casualties than they took, they need to chill the fuck out.

They're setting a precedent either way.

Either hold decorum over the individual or abandon it.

How Trump acts, and what he is allowed to get away with, is carte blanche for his followers paying attention.

If you want to be wealthy, act like the wealthy, right?

The judges either have spines or they don't. In that same vein, we either have laws that apply equally, or we don't have respect for the law across the board.

This is remedial psychology.

"even with selling his most valuable property our nations nuclear secrets to the Saudi's".

I fixed that for you

No. Not an any state when I looked into it a decade ago

That being said, sometimes it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission, if you get me.

Bodies for science usually ends up with the military buying the corpse and then testing out ordinance.

I'm not kidding.

The department of defense instead of the war department

Land of the free ≠ most jailed population on the planet...by faaaar

Department of Justice...as much as you can afford anyway

Protect and Serve...they kill more Americans than any gang, steal more from Americans then all other theft combined and only protect the interests of rich white shareholders. To the point of guarding a dumpster full of food in the middle of a pandemic.

It's already been ruled that once something is thrown away, the precious party has relinquished rights to it so they kept ppl away from food for funsies

You can safely assume everything said from authority in a liberal western country means the opposite of what they say. Orwell tried to warn us, but those fuckers saw it as a blueprint, not a warning, and clearly they missed the immorality of it.

I'm convinced you can't be rich, or work in law, and even be moral.

If taking up this battle makes me a fool, then so be it.

I don't seek approval from believable cretins anyway.

I suspect I was born defective; too sensitive towards and with too much affinity for justice. And possessing a wanton disregard of my physicality in defense of the truth.

So be it.

That is as perfect a description of Mom's for Liberty as could be imagined.

Peak

Australia is proof

Assuming an intentional EMP sent America back to the stone age, then America would respond in kind to China, N.Korea, Iran, Pakistan and Russia. England, continental Europe, Turkey, India, Israel, Japan, S. Korea would all have been hit with the same at the same time. If somehow we all just traded queens and stopped there, or if a prolonged solar storm hit the planet repeatedly accomplishing the same, I really think your optimistic limiting global losses to 75%

After the first northern winter I would assume 90-95% of humanity is gone. Those that can hunt are the most likely to survive. Seafood increases your odds of survival by orders of magnitude, as it requires some skill, but much less caloric investment before reward. By and large we've lost the ability to farm without fertilizers and pesticides, many will try but one early freeze will kill off dependant communities. Climate change making weather less predictable def does not work in our favor.

After the first winter I wouldn't be afraid of strangers. Another person is far too valuable, when you remember that there are lots of things outside that will happily kill us. We only have strength when we're in numbers.

Yr right. I meant DeVos.

The same fucks as always. Peter Theil, the Kochs, the Davos', pick your billionaire. They didn't become billionaires by being awesome people and y'know, bringing everyone up with them. More like, when their tide was rising, they paid goons to short leash the marina to the docks (which would sink them if the tide rose high enough).

Who's the squeaky wheel, who pays them and who stands to benefit.

Its always the rich behind fascists, because 1. They don't want the system they're so capable of gaming to change (unless it cements their position) and B. They are assuming they'll be above reproach if the fascists win.

Make no mistake, every billionaire alive would sell us all, and our children, out rather than become a $900 millionaire.

The only part of our society that hasn't let me down is NASA.

Every other public sector and service has been enshitified long ago. Neoliberalism changed the attitude of government purpose. No longer ensuring a playing field where all actors are bound by the same rules, no longer concerned with helping to build strong, intelligent self sufficient citizenry.

Now it's only the dollar. And whomever stabs the person next to them in the back to take it.

Make no mistake, this attitude is from the top down. Globalism allowed companies to become as powerful, if not more powerful, than almost all governments. And those shareholders? They'll sacrifice all of us before they let go a shred of money they didn't lift a finger for.

At least there's a nobel purpose for us

Revenging.

Time to clean the gene pool.

I'm with you my man. Let them discourse and lead from the high road.

I've seen too much filth to ever be clean again. I'll be with you, on the streets, in the thick of it. Guarding their rear while also getting my revenge. Heather was a harbinger, and if they have their way, none of us get thru this alive.

What they don't plan for tho, is large segments of us have already come to terms with that. When we're all priced out of the remnants of our last stripped out modest dreams...then we're all already walking dead men. No future either way, seems to me, might as well make them pay.
