That made a difference, but I also think It also had to do with the literal paid Brooks brothers riot organized for republicans and the Bush legal team which had 3 members who are now supreme court justices. Who cares if the people voted for gore, our supreme court says their vote is more important.

So are you a proponent of AMAB then?

What a kwinkidink considering this:

JD Vance gets rich by owning an app (acretrader) that helps investors outside of the United States snap up real estate deals (including many family farms and rental properties) that are then owned by people who have never and will never see those places and who ONLY own those places to obtain money and power in our country.

Memphis, I believe is where they said to be planning to target next.

Meanwhile, Reddit: How many subs can we ban for not moderating for Kirk hard enough?

In a week, generally no one will be talking about it and everyone will have moved on. This is how stories get killed.

Meanwhile, release the Epstein files that Kirk likely died for helping to hide. In related news, Did you hear how 51 senators are ok with covering up for pedos? Why don’t you make their lives miserable for agreeing with Kirk instead of telling the serfs people to shut up?

Real humans listen to emotions AND reason and don’t deny them. To do otherwise would be to agree with Kirk that ‘empathy is a new age term that does a lot of damage’.

It doesn’t have to stick to serve it’s purpose. It’ll put him in jail for at least a couple of days and that can be a huge inconvenience for anyone that can lead to lose of their job or income. I hope it doesn’t stick but I can’t say I have too much faith in the ‘justice’ system working as it should in a highly political charged case a deep red area.

‘Never accurate’ is way too strong in my opinion.

Lots of evidence in courts is based on witness testimony. Witness reports can be unreliable (especially when filtered through cops and lawyers) but It absolutely tracks that cops would arrest someone after a deadly shooting for yelling something like that. The older dude they arrested and released, they ended up later arresting for obstruction of justice, which seems like something cops would charge someone with for wasting their time.

Unless you have something that contradicts the witness, there is no reason to doubt it.

You mean condemn, I think. If you know of any politicians condoning this, I would like to know who.

An eyewitness said the suspect, who was arrested and later released by the police, yelled “I’d do it again”.

I support the older guy implying he’s the shooter to mislead the police, and I’m glad he got released. That is honestly very brave behavior assuming the witness’s report is accurate.

With a king, yes it’s power play for sure.

Maybe so there is really no way to tell.

The real question is how many people you are willing to sacrifice for this. How many cities are you willing to burn down?

Nah that’s not the right question. Talking like that makes you sound like a federal agent trying to entrap people. A better question might be who and what stands in the way of helping the people and how can we address those problems? But that is far less attention grabbing and harder to answer.

I mean Canada still has the British royalty if that’s their kink. Not sure how it would help but I ain’t gonna kink shame.

Time to check out a history book or two. With that attitude, US would still be a colony of Britain. Or the US would’ve won in Vietnam instead of getting kicked out by the locals. Granted, it is a bit different without an ocean in between, but it could still happen. Or we could break up like what happened to the USSR.

I mean yes, but I doubt the average lemmite is in the top 10% of stockholders that have the lion’s share of affect on the market since they own like 90% of the market (or some outrageous number like that, I don’t know the exact numbers offhand). Investment moves made by small players are probably tiny compared to what the rich and their asset managers do when they sell / buy.

Wow, Trump is truly a man of the people! I too struggle with finding the right words and delusionally believe everything I make up as the absolute truth too. Just the other day I raised the rent 10,000% on my tenants. Trump is just like me. /s

As you hinted religion is a potential way to control a population into doing what you want as it is a way of controlling what is talked about (and how it is talked about) to manipulate people.

I think what has changed is that now the owners of the media and information landscape can use new technology and psychology to control the narrative better mostly to extract a bit more profit. It is more profitable to keep people scrolling or listening to ragebait on your platform or show than to do proper investigative journalism.

The problem is the vast majority of media sources are controlled by elites who skew their messaging to the perceived whims of their owners which happen to predominately be far right. The population is forced to follow their lead as they have no easy way of influencing public opinion at scale.

And who was it that believed that there was a need for a lie to “deceive” the population into doing the decent thing? I can’t remember which of them said that.

I was going to say it sounds like Vance when he was spreading lies about Haitians migrants eating dogs, but then I saw the decent bit of it.

I imagine the people who own the land (ie. farmers) don’t have an interest in it because there isn’t an established industry to process it into products like cloth or rope or paper. This means they would have to buy the equipment not only to harvest / plant but also to process into usable material. If there was a pulp factory that would buy it from them they might plant it, but I doubt that any existing pulp factory would buy it as they would probably have to modify their production process slightly to make it into paper. Essentially it’s the chicken and the egg problem of farmers don’t have a market to sell it to, and factories can’t buy enough to justify converting the production process to use the new material.
