Seem fairly sound and self evident. Obviously there can be disagreements on judgement, but I can’t think of an scenario where the greater evil should not be opposed.

At this point I doubt Jackboots, swasticas, or gas chambers would make a difference.

Take care of your loved ones.

And if wishes were fishes there would be no room in the ocean for water.

You aren’t wrong, but “could” is doing some heavy lifting.

Back during Trump’s first term I would hear people saying “this country is going to fall into civil war” and I told my friends “we are nowhere near a civil war.” Because the conditions were not there. It takes a huge buildup to move people to organized violence. You have to have thousands and in the US case millions or at least 100s of thousands of people willing to kill and die for a cause and we didn’t have that, and still don’t.

But the pandemic came and we saw half the country couldn’t be bothered to wear a mask or get a vaccine to protect their neighbors and the other half saw that outpouring of collective psychopathy and realized that their neighbors were willing to risk their lives and the lives of their family and community to “own the libs” and we moved a step closer.

But you can’t have a civil war like the 1800’s today, there aren’t bright geographical lines of loyalty. I predicted in the Biden administration that we would see a period of rising violence scattered across the country, like bleeding Kansas, but spread all over.

And that is exactly what we are seeing.

We still aren’t at the point where we could fall into civil war, but we are closer every year. Trump is doing his damndest to create the conditions.

I pray we never get that far. Civil wars are the worst short of full on genocide, and they make the big G a whole lot more likely.

According to other headlines they already have IDF soldiers refusing to deploy to Gaza and going to prison instead. The Nazis invented the gas chambers because shooting crowds of civilians was leaving their SS troopers disabled with PTSD. they need to gamify it to provide some psychological cover for their grunts to finish the job.

Different strokes.

I had my wife and best friend using signal until they dropped support for sms. Switching between apps was too much for us.

Honestly, most of history wasn’t war, it’s just that the records were written and preserved by a bunch of Romaboos that focused on the wars.

Decent amount, but I would get a lot of details wrong.

Shooting up your school? What schools did you go to?

Pumped up kicks fits this for me.

If nothing else the fall in birth rates world-wide will lead to political instability.

If they can maintain the infrastructure of wealth without workers they won’t care what people do, and if they can’t then the surveillance will collapse with the supply chains.

Either way there is an other side to this dark tunnel, not without suffering and death, but there is still hope for resistance to the new facism.

Economies that worked without cash still had debt.

Debt and obligation do not require money, but they do require people that will give you the things you need in exchange for “I’ll owe you one.”

Here in the US most schools gave up trying to ban phones in the 2010’s.

Sharks aren’t fish. Humans and all other terrestrial mammals are.

Hank Green explained it.

Honestly, once I was on HRT for a while, just tuck everything away works even in a bikini. I have never done a proper tuck with a gaff because before HRT I used specific clothing styles that didn’t need it, and after it just hasn’t been necessary.

My understanding was the Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections during war time. The exact opposite of ours.

Texas has 85. Works for us.

The law on this is clear, we still have elections during wartime, but that’s never stopped him before.

Genz is 13 to 29 nowadays. Kids that age today are alpha.

Also kids that age in the photo unsupervised today can get their parents arrested.
