He was in a penal colony. Places not known for adequate food, medical care, or reasonable work protections.
No one is saying that someone shot him in the head. He died “naturally” because the body cannot sustain in that environment indefinitely. And who put him there, and why?
As long as people are out in the wild trying to give cover to regressive fascists, we’ll never see the end of this shit.
Correct. Most states’ laws do not envision the situation we are currently seeing, let alone what’s coming.
Check your state. What constitutes harassment, and can you think of harassing things that could be done without violating the law? I can for my state.
They actively don’t care unless it impacts their pilgrimage directly.
They want Jesus to come back, and they think one part of that is that Jews control the holy land.
They are actively harming the world because they truly believe that 1) humans cannot destroy God’s creation, so 2) if we get close he’ll have to step in and end the world and take them to the heaven that they refused to build here.
Same with pretty much every saying that regressives steal to justify their shit.
“Blood is thicker than water” does not mean family is more important than friends. The full saying is “Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” So it means the exact opposite.
“Spare the rod, spoil the child” is actually from a poem by Samuel Butler in the 1600s. The poem is about spanking your lover. The actual bible quote that the poem is satirizing is, “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.” Nuanced difference, but doesn’t advocate beating the same way the shortened one does.

So do most medical interventions.
I think you’re right if the goal is to stop them all together.
But what we can do is stop people from sending them around and saying that it’s true/actually the person.
Once they’ve turned it from a art project into a weapon, it should have similar consequences to “revenge porn.”
Most arguments about wait time are conflating two issues: how long from when you check in to when you see the doctor, and how long between when you try to make an appointment and the date of that appointment.
The US system is not terrible for wait times on appointments, and depending on your type of insurance it’s not terrible to see a specialist. But there are some niche practices that are horrible wait times, such as endocrinologists.
The US system “solves” the office wait time issue by dinging doctors for spending more than 7 minutes per patient.
Wonderful in theory, but in practice it’s a dumpster fire. Quick, mainstreamm-acceptable takes are incentived, and nuanced, alternative viewpoints are nearly impossible.
If it were all for hobby stuff, it would be fine, but when this is how most people get their news, it’s not good.
This. Democrats sometimes fuck up, but we have processes in place to mitigate those fuckups, and Democrats generally engage with those processes.
Trump, on the other hand, lied, obfuscated, and seemed to purposefully make it as bad as feasible.
They’ve already got a better system than Hitler could have every hoped for: normal prison.
The US has the largest prison population per capita, plus migrant holding facilities, plus juvenile holding facilities.
All they need to do is capture the presidency and keep at least one chamber of Congress, and they can just expand the existing laws to target their enemies. The facilities are already in operation, they just need an excuse to grab the people they don’t like.
This. Cryptofascism relies on being able to scream, “It was just a joke / I didn’t know!”
Mistakes can happen and you might accidentally engage in a dog whistle as a normal person.
A dozen mistakes all pointing to the exact same thing are unlikely.
And to be fair, it could be one person at the top putting all these wink wink indicators in, and the majority involved might just be normal folks.
I still won’t be buying the game.
These folks won’t witness it either. Not with that eye anyway.
It’s not the best, nor is it the only. It’s one aspect across the entirety of human enterprise, and unlike an individual person, countries and societies are able to implement multiple initiatives at once.
Meh. I don’t hunt, but we’ve killed off most of the predators that keep deer populations in check. They can boom real fast if left unchecked, and then you get to play frogger with them on highways and interstates.
Not the original person you responded to, but I type 120ish wpm. The trick is to try to tap into the same part of your brain that verbalizes words when you talk, rather than the part that composes stuff when you write.

Even if that’s true, it is not a reason to work someone to death.
