Woowwww.. that's nuts. I often forget the US is mostly just one big military and the infrastructure to support it.

Yeah.. next thing you know you'll only be allowed to piss outside on the pool deck

Relatable.. relative.. his sister..

First that we know of anyway. Either way fuckin awesome

Maybe we should do the same for public pools.

Almost like they don't really want them stopped.. just to look like they're trying

"It's funny because it's 'relatable' "

Yeah, I know, and it's totally true.. I support the message. It just feels like a drop in the ocean compared to the other horrifying outcomes.

Have you read the entire document once? I feel like that's the minimum to be able to comment on it.

It's not long and it uses short words so that their base can understand.

Yeah. I was trying my best to not spiral into the worst case.

I think not using the power is the only right thing to do. Power corrupts the user. That's why the balance of power existed. Using it now invites a future where it's used again. We were very lucky to not slip down the slope of using nukes "just a little". We wouldn't be here to talk about if it had.

"Having a smoking section on a plane is like having a pissing section in a pool"

Started by those people doesn't mean we act like they did..even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Don't drown baby in the bathwater before you shower; or whatever the phrase is.

You achieved positivity for others this week. Win in my book

Friend I'm at the end of a two year long recovery to be able to use one of my arms again. It's amazing to be able to do things with my upper body

It is joyous

I think it's more of a concern that any single one of these steps happens it means completely dismantling modern democracy. The details don't matter

Don't wanna be that guy, but this seems pretty far down the list of awful stuff it would bring.

Every entry is written like : We'll destroy this freedom we don't like as well as anything else we don't like. Followed by: We'll dismantle these other human rights plus anything else we don't like.

It's literally "We're going to do whatever we want and we're going to make anyone who opposes us an enemy of the state. Thus removing all rights to personhood for those people."

If they get control, slavery will return to America in less than a couple years.

Sure they'll be called "Prisoners with jobs." and instead of "just" black people. It will be all poor people and a bunch of women and queer kids

This plan is a recipe to create a ruling class who trade in the lives over humans. Especially the idiots that vote for them.

Ok so I got a bit ranty.. but the thing is. I'm writing this thinking it sounds pretty hyperbolic right? Sounds like I'm blowing it way out of proportion.. but I read it and think.. NO it's even worse than that...

Oh duh, yeah. The most obvious example.

Yeah, that's a perfect example of how awful things can get. A slave driven economy .. and society full off ancient bullshit and death and strife and murder and horrific genocides... if you're holding up the Roman empire as a good thing for people...well, I'm not going to convince you of much.

They've had great marketing since though.. Especially the holy Catholic Church who has just the BEST history of being so great, like I think Epstein's greatest blunder was not being a Catholic. They would have protected him much better.

This. Clocks like this are for measuring duration in a scientific context.
