It's payday if a judge in 10 years gives a shit about constitutional violations, or if judges are still non-partisan by then. The dude also looks Latino, so his odds are even worse. I am an outsider looking in, but I wouldn't trust that shit hole country to uphold any sense of the law after what I've seen over the last few weeks. Fuckin' embarrassing mess down there.
Just my 2 cents, and echoing some of the sentiment in this thread.
IMO, if he's buying Telsa stock, it doesn't make your buddy a Nazi, or even a Nazi sympathizer. He's just a guy making money in a capitalist system. It is what it is, and I'm not going to blame anyone for trying to make money where they can. I have friends in the same situation, making money off Telsa, and also despising Elon as a person. I don't hold it against them, everyone needs to find a way to support themselves. You aren't going to sewer your own financials just to be morally superior, because that's going to be a net loss, and it's pissing into the wind in terms of fighting the system.
If he's overtly supporting Elon himself, that's a different story, but it sounds like he just is making bank off the stock, will ride it out as it's in his best interest, and there isn't much cause for concern.
Again, like other commenters have said, just talk to him. Make him aware you understand he likes Tesla, but ask him if he supports Elon politically/ethically. Make your decisions based off of that. A lot can be accomplished with just a casual conversation. I wouldn't recommend talking to him with an accusatory or defensive standpoint. I would be pretty casual about it to see where he sits.
Which I agree with. Amazing movies. Glad everyone's on the same page.
For me, it's James Cameron's Avatar. Visually stunning, especially for its time, but the story has to be the most cliche, predictable, boring, lazy piece of writing to ever have existed. It's like they held an environmentally conscious 11 year old at gun point and made them write a story. The cigar chomping military guy working for corpos wants to pilfer a beautiful planet for its resources with disregard for the native populations that live there. Where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, ALL AROUND ME, EVERY FUCKING GOD DAMN DAY. Get an original idea.
Fuck this stupid piece of shit dumbass movie. It's intellectually insulting. It's a disgrace.
If your point is that cops are corrupt, I agree. I also agree that resources given to cops would be better allocated to specialists to deal with certain situations, like a mental health crisis worker sent to a distressed member of the public, instead of police.
I don't know about disbanding the police. For all their faults and flaws, they do also do work that I'm sure most people wouldn't want to be involved in. I'm sure those occurrences are far and few between, but still.
The George Floyd reference seemed somewhat off topic, but I appreciate your level headed response nonetheless.
Because I happen to live on the small island where this happened, and live with my feet firmly planted in reality and not on the internet. I don't hate cops for the sake of it. If I hate them, which I largely do, it's for legitimate reasons, not because "they're in a gang". I have real experiences with cops, where they did real things that were bad, to me and people I know. My issue with them is their actions. Not some perceived gang. Our police have problems, but they aren't plagued with the same problems at the same scale that American police are. American police are actually a gang. Ours aren't, or are at least, to much, much lesser extent.
If you're American, commenting on our police, arguing with someone who lives within the same jurisdiction as said police, stay in your lane. If you are Canadian, and happen to live in the same area, I'd love to hear why you think they are a gang, so feel free to let me know.
These are Canadian police on an island on the west coast... Not American police. I'm not defending these pieces of shit, but George Floyd's murder has little to nothing to do with these guys or our police here on the island. Ours aren't great, but they aren't a gang like the American police are.
