People radicalized to insane culture war bullshit and irrational solipsistic oblivion cults can't really be negotiated with.
Institutions will never fix anything.
Intense atomization and alienation keep us from creating society with one another. There's no time to do anything complicated; most of us work too much. You just get home and youre exhausted.
So; gun.
If only we actually used them as a solution.
Look, if we had vaccine guns, I'm pretty sure the anti vax movement would switch overnight.
Edit: There would be pro-cdc paramilitary snipers on every roof. It would get tedious.
But tjose people are so important to society!
See, the very poor/destitute serve as a triple threat to discipline the working class!
As an example of what happens when you dont crush yourself into a life of being exploited
As a release valve for emergency labor-it doesn't have to actually be viable, just believable to enough prople
And as a class they can look down on and fear, an enemy to justify the presence of and valirize the practice of policing, especially when they're forced into close contact. It's why out of the way camps are violently cleared, but there are tents on sidewalks in major cities.
is our food safe
Yes, as long as the water holds. I have 200 lbs of rice and veggies in every window. Should supplement me enough to survive. Might be enough to share out.
How? Why?
Do you not remember last time? And why do you think losing an election will keep a loyalist out of power?
Other ideas? Please? Its not just your life on the line here. We're kind of all in this. Whatcha got?
Are you going to engage with my ideas, or try to discredit me by... Saying I'm getting an education?
I'm confused as to what your argument is here. My best guess is that what I said resonated with you enough to make you uncomfortable, and youre trying to discredit me so you dont have to think about it.
And I get that. I get trying to stay comfortable, I get trying to cling to what you have and what's worked to keep it in the past, but we no longer have that luxury. Do not rely on the 'law' to protect you. Start looking at alternatives. I know its scary, I know its new, and I know it might require change, but its what we need to get through this. Maybe what you find will end up enriching you long term, if you survive. Change isn't always bad.
He cannot create something from nothing. He cannot act without an equal and opposite reaction. He cannot exceed the ideal speed of unimpeded light. He cannot be smaller than the Planck length. Try as he might; it simply cannot be done.
A person has to actively to stop him from doing all the rape murder and genocide his shitty little chest void desires. Nobody has. Are you going to?
I'm saying calling both these categories 'laws' is misleading.
The system is not your friend. Its goal is the preservation of power and stratification of society. Thats what it does, thats what its for.
Right now, he's power, and stratifying admirably. The courts and their bloody enforcers belong to him, or people like him.
Always was.
Well, community and restorative, but our society still sees those as equally/more objectionable than vigilante.
You may have just saved america.
