The rat race of modernity broke up the multi-generational household, dual income no kids or having kids later in life, leaving older folks no purpose, just to become a cost to the family in an assisted living facility.
We are hearing people bring this up more today than 10 years ago but it's still pretty rare. I think we have been conditioned to think modernity is always progress. I am convinced we are largely clueless about what we have lost. The tradeoffs. The balance of benefits and deficits.
I'm very individualistic but as I mature I am learning what we have lost due to our rejection of tradition and family. It feels like we are peaking in this with the political division you see I families. It's absurd to me, but I think it's becoming more common.
I beleive this destruction of the family and traditional social structure has driven people to embrace socialistic ideas. The state becomes you family. However those ties are weak and do not fill the gap.
I mean... I'm not surprised. They come from government and political appointment. But they are really bad. Barbie and Pam Bondage are especially bad.
I have to say, Trump's appointments in law enforcement are incredibly terrible IMO. Not just because they are doing things I think are wrong. But how poorly they communicate and and spin stuff. It's laughably bad.
Trump can be a pedophile and wipe his ass with the Constitution as long as he appoints judges that are 2A friendly
OK.
when Team A gets in power they hire Gov to perpetrate violence against Team B, and vice-versa.
Yep
This is why its almost pointless to align yourself with political parties because >95% hold no real ideological principles. Its just whatever works at the moment....
Indeed this is the conclusion I have come to over and over again.
That said, one can change your mind at any time. But if team A thinks they have you in their pocket they ignore you.
What we have to remember is that the powers are not looking for conflict resolution. Neither side. The protesters are pawns. The officers are also pawns. Politics kills people. We are seeing it right now.
100%
Watching this video again... dang was this whole thing a joke as far as policing.
Above all... ICE is obviously a disaster based on what we are seeing. I'd argue that it goes a lot more broad than ICE though.
Honestly, it really feels like both the activists and the Trump admin are trying to spark strife. Trying to use violence to gain more power. They are playing with fire and people are dying.
You missed part of the point.
If you are excusing these actions due to politics and not liking the protesters that's not supporting the right to defend yourself. If you don't defend the right of someone you do not like then you aren't for rights. You just support getting what you want.
Trump and many politicians say a lot of stuff. Obama talked soft on many things that he was not soft on. Trump talks big on many things he never actually does. What is done does matter more than what is said.
What was done here does matter. The politics of this whole things is complete nonsense. People that oppose gun ownership sound like 2A advocates. 2A advocates sound like anti-gun nuts. Why? Politics.
The other aspect is that one can get something that you don't deserve. It does not seem to me that this dude deserved to be killed. But also at the same time... it wasn't smart. That isn't justifying the action. If sane people don't point out what will happen in these situations more people will die. We don't know if this guy knew what he was getting into here. I believe the state is evil and I act accordingly. Many that hate Trump LOVE the state. They just want their dude at the top. Many people die at the hands of cops no matter who is president because the state itself is evil. Trump is also evil. Get rid of him and you haven't really solved the problem.
To me, we have a lot of people living in lala land. A lot of these people protesting are as foolish as the J6 people. Maybe well meaning but foolish. There's a LOT of daylight between the Trump line and the protester/activist line.
Good question. Don't think there will be a new Linus. Likely will be a group of people. They may compete vs collaborate. Could go many ways.
Not surprising that Wireshark installed via flatpak is a pain due to the way flatpak handles permissions.
Compared to SoCal. It sucks. It snows. You can get tornado but there are much worse places for both. Its humid but no where near Florida levels. All depends on your preferences. Some people like 4 seasons. Its in the south so I think its pretty mild.
