Never attribute to malice, that which can more easily be explained by narcissism.

I can carry 8 modern hand grenades, or 2 of those things.

The news coverage on this was the point. Bringing awareness to her people’s situation.

:line cook kiss:

The origin of the police in the US was a group hired in a state by the governor to return slaves to their slave owners.

Then they were contracted to protect the properties of the wealthy slave owners when there was a revolt about capturing slaves (some who were “free men”),and they put down that revolt with violence.

Since then, police have been conscripted to protect wealth from the lower class, by the wealthy. That was, and has been their main purpose in the US. It is not to protect and serve, that’s just a slogan they made up out of thin air and has no legal backing or requirement.

They exist for the wealthy, to stay wealthy and protect their interests/property.

Before the police, we had US Marshals, and that worked great. But they wouldn’t go after slaves for slave owners, so they invented the police.

Edit: I’ll include an article that talks about some of this.

The Mezzanine Massive Attack album.

The whole thing. First song to the last. Just listen to it.

And if you finish that: Dark Side of the Moon from Floyd.

And if you finish that, Sound and Fury from Sturgill Simpson. Bonus points if you have Netflix and watch the animated it’s written for (ultra baller)

Oh man, blast from the past.

That was my jam, way, way, way, way back when ;)

Was a RR10 Enchanter and RR10 Blademaster, plus a TL for both classes. I think my account is still lifetime comped.

Put wayyyy too much time into that :P

What series is this?

Edit: lol, nevermind, didn’t check the community.

You could be correct.

However, Europe’s “right” is America’s “left”.

The political situation might be semantically similar, but the political policymaking is a vastly different situation between the two.

Europe, universally, believes in healthcare as a right, for example.

They won’t oppose each other. They may not like each other at some point, but their goals are completely aligned, which is the fascist takeover of america by Corporate interests.

Correct.

However, we can make sure his legacy remains as tarnished and full of disgust as Hitler and Mussolini’s. We owe it to the trump crime family to make them historical caricatures of pure evil.

Yeah, like the Edison comparison isn’t a positive one.

He’s talking broadly, to Americans. Which you and I are. And he’s right, we deserve this. As a country.

As an individual, neither of us do, since we fought and voted against him. But that’s not what OP was saying. He wasn’t addressing you specifically, but our nation in the second person.

This.

Back in the day this is how the internet worked. Every forum host was just some guy or girl hosting a platform so they coukd build a community with the people and hobbies they love.

We need to go back closer to that world. The fediverse bridges the gap between the centralized experience, and decentralized management.

Optimistically, it’s the best of both worlds.

Yeah, pretty much. This and Discord really. Signal for P2P messaging.

That was much later. Up until that point, Röhm, the General of the SA at the time, was a “constitutional loyalist” who didn’t help or hurt Hitler.

Then Hitler made up a conspiracy that Röhm and about 300 of his loyalists were going to commit a “coup”, and staged a overthrow of the German Military during Röhm’s Honeymoon, a day or two after he got married.

Of course, the rest of the German people were ok with that, because he outed Röhm as gay, and had already done well to turn the people against Homosexuals in the country. That combined with the lie that Röhm was about to depose Hitler, and he succeeded in a flawless execution of 300 top military leaders to seize complete control of all facets of German operations. Presidency from Hindenburg, Military from Röhm, and his Chancellorship he got at the voting booth.

That’s all to say I have no faith in our military preventing a Fascist dictatorship from asserting control over our country.

At no point in history has that seemingly happened. I would not expect us to set the curve.

He thinks it be like that, because it be like that.

In their defense, they did try to get RBG to resign at the end of Obama’s term, but she refused, thinking Hillary would win.

She was wrong. Dead wrong. Unfortunately.

Explain to me how she, or people in her orbit/administration, have said things even remotely similar to what Huckabee just said.

Right.
