I lived and worked in China for a year (Shenzhen). There was a palpable sense of brainwashing and/or an overpowering air of unhealthy patriotism there. Which made it stranger for me as I had Chinese friends and coworkers that seemed like decent normal people, we went to bars and drank and joked together. But whenever the topic of China as a country and its policies came up, everyone had a similar change in attitude and unwavering loyalty to the government.

I never felt that I was being targeted specifically, but I also never felt truly comfortable for a number of reasons. I’m glad I got to expand my horizons and experience a bit of what the country/city had to offer, I don’t think I would willingly go to live there again.

Comedian turned activist Cliff Cash has a public call to action if you’re interested. He’s asking anyone who can come to Washington D.C. to join him to go to congressional offices this next Monday. It’s likely to not be a silver bullet to all this fascist bullshit but it’s a good fight.

I’m also pretty sure there are similar efforts and protests near you if you can’t make the trip today.

It makes sense why the cult and its leaders call progressives the “extreme left” because the center and the right has shifted so much.

He can get fucked by a huge pine cone. He and those that back him are enemies of humanity at this point, willfully choosing to be cruel and sacrificing lives for money and power.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn if they use the sex offender registry to recruit for ICE

I’m no attorney and (luckily) have never been in a situation where I’ve had to use my firearm in defense of my life. But I will say, it depends on the circumstances. In Texas (and other states I’m sure), we are encouraged to only use firearms as a last resort of defense and in a situation where any other action would likely or reasonably result in our death (apart from maybe your home, castle doctrine). So out in public, it would be tricky to justify the use of deadly force where you might otherwise have had the option of running away from your alleged captors, calling local law enforcement, or some other course of action.

If you do survive the encounter, you will see the inside of a courtroom and I have a feeling the proceedings will be biased against you.

That being said, a few tips:

1. get in range time
2. don’t miss
3. don’t shoot anyone from behind
4. you shouldn’t want to murder people, but if you do open fire, make sure they can’t take legal action against you afterwards…
5. be able to explain exactly why you did what you did, and in response to questions like “why did you shoot this person?” be sure to avoid phrases like “I had to kill them”

To them, poor is probably like just a few dozen million USD.

This user is great when it comes to mimicking this.

I will never not read this in Morgan Freeman’s voice.

Democrats will be prioritized for sacrifice.

True it didn’t, but Japan got earthquakes like they’re going out of style.

While that doesn’t surprise me, I don’t think I’ve heard/seen/read about “ICE” getting guns drawn on by people they try to kidnap.

I carry, with a permit, and I regularly practice & train. I don’t wake up bloodthirsty but if masked dudes approach me and I don’t see badges/names/police ID, you bet I’m drawing on them, and if they attempt to lay hands on me I’m firing. I will most likely be persecuted and found guilty but I’ll at least say I did something on record against the gestapo and maybe set a precedent?

No badges, no name tags, no exposed faces… let’s see “ ICE “ try this in a state with strong self defense laws.

Ya, we have the right of free speech, but hate-filled and verifiably false speech/statements should be punished or at least labeled with mandatory warnings that indicate them as such.

Sounds just like Dark/Middle Ages

[The Dark Ages is] marked by economic, intellectual, and cultural decline

No doubt. What happened at Robb Elementary (and too many others) is the furthest thing from a joke but it does underscore the core issue(s).

Fuckin’ TRIPLE TRUMPERS 🤮
