He doesn’t need to imo, these things have plenty of inertia right now. It wouldn’t take a lot to get Americans fighting even harder against eachother than we are now even.

I think the only reason states have not truly waged war on each other is that we are part of a union. That’s just my opinion, but many states would simply begin to fail without the feds redistributing wages from states that have good industry and gdp.

Once they don’t get, they will start to try to take, and that fire would spread faster than it could be put out. Again all imo. But us Americans are “a bit shit” to eachother already, to borrow a British phrase.

Naw, just move them into publicly traded military contractors not named Boeing. You’ll be making money like its crypto and you’re on the inside.

I mean you said it yourself, answer is obvious. Peace!

Naw, they shitty, horrible kids with bad opinions, but if I felt as strongly as you, and had a much free time, (my god i wish i had your time), I’d spend the same time repping this place and less time trying to gentrify it into another political war zone. But by all means dehumanize these stupid kids until you only see an enemy to safer defeat.

I choose quarantine over spending yours days documenting internet morons.

Edit: I’m so stupid, I just realized that’s the problem. I only have time to be annoyed by this shit to the point where I post about it cause I have all this time on a vacation. Whereas this is what you spend ALL your time doing. I’ll be gone from needling you in a few days, you’ll remain here as a super goofy and chill dude!

Thank you for the context so you can see how chill and goofy you are in your “fight against fascism” aka the kids who built and populated this platform initially.

edit

A user in that thread actually made points i 100% agree with about the hypocrisy of using this platform in general with your opinions on it.

Correct me if I’m wrong, a piefed developer specifically called you out for the same reason.

Really, is that the vibe you think you bring to the table? I would have said a steady stream of argument bait. You usually don’t see chill goofy people maintaining entire threads of personal callouts. That’s just an imo tho!

Jesus, if british comedy didn’t exist, people would think English is just for joyless, shitty, jerks

Neither, they’re giving an anecdotal example of the effects of what I previously noted.

Germany took in a ton of refugees (migrants is the wrong word), some percentage of which have has extreme trouble moving into a very different culture, it was a huge culture shock for everyone and it had led to problems inside the country that are fueling this hatred.

Not fucking rocket science.

Does reading this make anyone else physically ill feeling? I guess i should ask what kind of person could be convinced to feel nothing at best and glee at worst.

We’re paying for these guys to be here, the second those payments stop these people get disappeared into a mass grave behind the prison, and I’m not sure if anyone will ever pay what they truly owe for this.

What about the two democrats who survived being shot half a dozen or more times each by that wannabe preacher in Minnesota (not Michigan). Are they also blessed by God’s divine hands? How does that track to Republicans i wonder.

I was and am in a situation where WFM became voluntary because we outgrew the space while everyone was at home.

We have no limit of volunteers to work in the office, we have multiple people who never left the office, they continued to commute and went in every day.

So my anecdotal experience is the exact opposite of yours, which is why we don’t put a ton of stock in them and look at aggregates in studies. Making sense?

I love how everyone talks about how nice this guy was. He goes to Africa a bunch, huh? I bet this guy was one of those death-to-the-gays type preachers who go to African countries to preach psychopathy. He’s nice to everyone he likes, and wouldn’t hesitate to kill someone he doesn’t.

Super nice guy!

I don’t think anyone who mentions that honor killings are a thing is saying that. Honor killings have been recognized by amnesty international as being a distinct threat to women worldwide that is present in America as well specific to Muslim majority countries in the Middle East and Asia.

I think any child has the potential of being killed by their angry parents, it’s happened very frequently from people of all backgrounds, but it’s ok to admit that a Muslim girl who doesn’t want to introduce you to her parents could be motivated by the fear of death or abuse in a very specific way. And i think it’s ok to tell this kid that this is a possible additional pressure based on her culture.

But it’s fair to say this has happened like a half dozen times in the US in two decades. That might feel like a lot, but considering the sheer number of Muslims who live in this country, that might as not happen at all.

I can keep both of these ideas in my head at the same time and not have a weird, knee-jerk meltdown in the comments!

Trucking is so funny. There is an adversarial relationship between the drivers and the office, which you can see in this comment.

The industry is trying to solve safety issues caused by the nature of long haul driving and maintenance of profit in logistics by companies that use their services.

Trucking used to be a way a person could provide for their family, remain independent, and feel in control. Now, trucking is an industry where you are trapped in a moving computer designed primarily to reduce the insurance rates of the company that employs them, because their business practices and demands were so dangerous, individuals truckers had to drive more hours, get paid less for those hours, and literally drive themselves, and other motorists around them when they crashed, to death.

Then they blame the truckers as they race to bottom in hiring. Don’t even get me started on nafta. Your industry sucks for the employees who are necessary to keep the economy moving.

Totally fair, despite the vitriol and glibness of my response. But man, as you mentioned the railroad was a big fuck up. Speaking of shitty situations for Palestinians… East Palestine Ohio happened like 2 months after he made the rail workers go back to work, and it was one of the exact problems they were striking for. That’s directly on his hands.

Oh weird, so it wasn’t a constant stream of weapons provided with stamped approval by the admin? It wasn’t that the only time they threatened to stop it was only a very specific type of heavy bomb, not any other munitions? It wasn’t the Biden admin who initially rejected the terms ceasefire until deep into the conflict? It wasn’t the Biden admins ceasefire plans that were accepted and abandoned by Trump, proving that if they had provided full throated support of those plans it could have very reasonably happened a year sooner?

Best thing you can say about this fuck was that he was the white guy they used to get Obama elected, cause they figured no one would vote for him unless he had a token cracker.
