You’re a spectacular dick, aren’t you?

I’m fully aware of your personal disclosure. That’s why I wrote “people” and not “you.” I was answering your question. Are you always condescending when you don’t understand the context of a reply?

not that I'm encouraging it but I'm kind of surprised that there hasn't been more violent attacks on ice officers

My comment is condemning the violence mentioned above, regardless of motive.

Violent response vilifies the citizen against the officer ‘doing their job.’ That is leveraged to strengthen laws that protect officers, used as more propaganda to grow support for the right, and costs us another resister to incarceration.

People need to stop suggesting response with emotion and read history. Small scale resistance against fascism has never been successful.

Geoffrey Hinton agrees.

The media is very predictable for sure. They put on the rose-colored glasses for the pro argument, and sensationalize the worst fears for the con. Historically, the truth lands in the middle.

Unlike the topic of immigration, with the massive wealth inequality of today, anything benefiting corporations over the working class is far more likely to work out in their favor.

That’s intentional. They sensationalize to desensitize. Unlike the introduction of computers or the internet, AI will absolutely take far more jobs than it will create. Goldman Sachs predicts a 50% reduction in US jobs by 2045, and Republicans added a provision into the budget reconciliation that prohibits any regulation on AI for a decade, to ensure that prosperity goes to the corporations.

Small-scale violence excites and emboldens fascism. It will not stop it.

We, the internet’s first squeakers, ruining all of your adult conversations on ICQ, Prodigy, and AOL.

We’re sometimes referred to as “The Oregon Trail Generation.” We rode our bikes and ran around in the woods until it got dark, then went inside to play Nintendo.

Agreed. We should be voting twice every two years, not once every four, for national elections alone.

Well, that’s on Virginia’s 11th District. He was voted in with 274k, but only 43k voted in the primary. People who call for term limits should try showing up when they have a say.

Do you know who always votes? Retirees, and they have very different needs than the working class.

And I’m betting they’ll be exempt to the Apple and Samsung tariffs

It was over 3.5%. Now we need to maintain it. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world

Painted lines are always cooler too.

I know just how I like it.

If you like those two, you should read about Khan leading the Mongols. Undeniably fascinating.

Absolutely, and it’s not just vibes, it’s the oath. They swore to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. If we are non-violent, we are not a domestic threat. As per The Constitution, the soverign (highest rank in the nation) of the United States are We The People.

That’s why it’s essential we keep it peaceful while we increase our numbers. If we are non-violent, we cannot be determined to be a domestic threat, and it’s the military’s duty to protect us.

Oh, definitely protest. Just stay non-violent and record all of the unprovoked use of unnecessary force. Like this:
