Portland is a mess

[JurisDictum]

My mother-in-law has three rentals. She's offered all of her renters the opportunity to purchase the house they live in for below market rate. None of them want to buy. This mindset may be different for some people but the majority of renters want to remain so.

Are you sure that's an apples to apples comparison? Would buying the house require a particular credit check, or cost money? Are you sure they just "chose" not to buy even tho they had the option to? lol.

Antifa is not a thing outside of the Fox News studios.

There was some time in the late 80s early 90s that anti-facist participants in the Minneapolis punk rock music scene went to war with the skinheads. Do some people call themselves Antifa? Probably. That doesn't make it a thing any more than the American Society of Time Travelers.

There were less than 200 by most accounts the last time "Antifa" tried to hold a national rally.

The absolute truth is that you have zero idea how many people identify as Antifa and zero information about how much and to what extent violent activity is predicated on that membership or ideology.

I'm not saying you're wrong. Broken clock and all that.

I think Barr is very accurate in his description. Take a look at 1:54:40 here
https://www.c-span.org/video/?473384-1/attorney-general-barr-testifies-justice-department-mission-programs&vod


A.G. BARR: I'M NOT SURE I SAID TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I SAID WE ARE INVESTIGATING IT AS DOMESTIC TERRORISM. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF VIOLENT EXTREME GROUPS IN THE U.S. AND THEY ARE ACROSS THE SPECTRUM. ANTIFA IS HEAVILY REPRESENTED IN THE RECENT RIOTS. THEY HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS BEING INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF VIOLENT MOB ACTIONS.

REP. GAETZ's HAIR: SOME SAY ANTIFA IS A MYTH. THAT THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THIS VIOLENCE IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS REAL. WHAT IS YOUR REACTION?

A.G. BARR: I DON'T THINK IT IS A MYTH. ANTIFA CAN BE BEST THOUGHT OF AS AN UMBRELLA TERM FOR WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY A MOVEMENT COMPRISED OF LOOSELY ORGANIZED GROUPS AROUND THE COUNTRY. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF GROUPS AND CENTERS OF ACTIVITY. THE GROUPS ARE LOOSELY ORGANIZED BUT THEY ARE DEFINITELY ORGANIZED. THEY DO NOT GET ALONG VERY WELL. THEY TEND TO GET ORGANIZED FOR AN EVENT. THERE IS A LOT OF ORGANIZATION RIGHT BEFORE AN EVENT.

[douglas1999]

Why do people quibble so much over antifa being "a thing" or not? There are countless examples of far left self-identified communists and socialists violently assaulting people they deem political adversaries. Those are the people that anyone cares about, call them whatever you want, although antifa *does* have specific organized chapters in various parts of the country.

The commies' newest pivot. Attempting to manufacture "tyranny" and use it as a call for support from the "gun-loving" right?

What exactly is "doing something about" you dipshits getting yourselves vanned for participating in domestic terrorism?

We see you! Your latest pivot is a call for support from the right which is a ultimately a call for us to use our arms to free you from so-called tyranny so that you can turn about and finger point using us as the scapegoat so you can jump right back on the government's dick protesting and gathering support for the abolishment of the 1st and 2nd ammendments.

Fuck you. Youre terrorists, terrorism by definition is utlizing violence, the fear of violence, and destruction to deliver a political message.

I hope you vanned to Guantanamo. Dipshit.

P.s. its time to turn out the lights and go to bed. If i have to tell you again, im taking away your iPhone for a week.

If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

If you aren't a liberal at 20, you're heartless.

If you aren't a conservative at 40, you're brainless

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal, wonders who is going to pay for him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, movie, tv show, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like to be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.

If a conservative needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal will demand that the rest of us pay for his medical care.

If a conservative read this, he'll forward it, so his friends can have a good laugh. A liberal will delete it because he's "triggered and offended."

I don't fear death- it happens to everyone. I just hope once I am dead and buried, I don't vote Democrat. --- since somehow some dead people can do this!

I think this is accurate. Most of the people there are acting on genuine beliefs no matter how unfounded. Were it not for the bricks, fireworks and abundant expletives, it is really no different than people attending church every Sunday. We find the same rates of obesity, self-loathing and rabid devotion to fabricated realities wherein virtue is piled upon he who clears the lowest bar.

Well put, I think it makes most of the protestors feel better in the moment. The obese or out of shape are getting some exercise out of it too at least. I don't think they should go regularly though if they live with people at high-risk of dying or getting very ill from Covid-19 though.

Oh yeah, or you're at the range, whatever you want. Tacticool is all great if that's your thing. But if you're trying to be effective it means your weapon absolutely has to work, and that means when you pick it up of the ground after both you and it bounce off some concrete pillar. Reloading takes a lot less time if you're not worried about securing the empty magazine.

Because it's used as a buzzword to scare people. There are literally towns (backward shitholes where rubes live) scared into arming themselves and marching through their streets because Billy Ray Jim Bob posted on Facebook that he heard Antifa was coming in their white vans to shoot up some backwater town no one has heard of.

As I stated before, there is also a group of people dedicated to time travel. Also not a thing.

I think perhaps when a combat situation unfolds in those peoples’ minds, their imagined selves do not struggle with something as simple as reloading. They probably don’t even need to reload.

Also I like the word tacticool. I am going to assume that you didn’t invent this and that it is just more evidence that I live under a rock.

This is why I'm afraid because there's tons of people out there with zero knowledge of basic gun handling. I'm saying real basic stuff like finger off the trigger and not pointing the gun at people:

Or walking around with a jammed weapon and the offending round actually sticking out:

(All I can say about that is whoever gave that gun to that actor should have checked it after bringing it back from the range).

I was looking for the other side examples and they're definitely more doofy looking with the desert camo/jeans/hawaiian shit but their gun handling is generally a lot better. I'm not going to make fun of things people can't change, like their skin color or shirt.

[HalflingSpergand]

If they knew how to operate firearms they would be who they hate

[Trexller]

Well look at those NFAC folks in Louisville KY who held an armed demonstration.

One of them accidentally discharged a round that injured 3 people.

Anyone who knows how to handle a gun, knows that you do not keep a round chambered unless you intend to fire it very very soon. That guy didn't even have the safety engaged.

If a superior officer in the military tells you to give him your weapon for inspection and he finds a chambered round, you're in for a bad time.

Look at them leaning on their rifles with the barrel in the ground. Thats exactly how you warp the muzzle or end up with debris, an excellent way to end up with a squib load and have your gun blow up in your face.

They walk around muzzle sweeping the guys next to them.

In those pics and others I see fingers on triggers all over the place. Anyone who is trained places their trigger finger in the ready condition position as simple muscle memory.

I'd be happy to engage those amateurs in a gunfight. The safest place to stand would be in front of them, especially those dudes with the AKs which have a crazy rate of muzzle climb. Be sure they don't know how to compensate without spraying all over the place.

The constitution calls for a "well regulated militia" anything ive seen from NFAC is a Call of Duty firearms education.

Mostly because one of them shot their own people. And thats hilarious.

And because a bunch of their pics were posted above. Go ahead call me racist. By leftist rules I can't be a racist. I'm not white! and yes, you were thinking it.

Pretty much all of those hicks out there (which are few, real militia know not to draw attention) are handling their firearms well. Never underestimate rednecks and their love of things that go boom. Im sure you can find a pic of some Cletis lookin moron. They exist.

Plenty of amateurs out there for sure. I hope im no where near them when WWIII comes to fruition.

[BlackBellamy]

There's a whole lot of pictures of white hicks handling their firearms like idiots at the lockdown rallies, not sure why you're making so much effort to criticize these protesters in particular.

As I already explained I tried to find bad handling over there but all I found was bad wardrobe. I wasn't looking for black people accidental discharge or black people unsafe guns at protest or even black people what's up with them and their guns. I was just posting pictures that Google/BLM/Al Sharpton Industrial Complex served up to me when I carefully omitted any sense of racial identity in my queries. But if you have any please share because I love to laugh at idiots regardless of skin color I mean I guess it's easier to laugh at white people because they're easier to see but those are technicalities.

Yes, this guy was white. (https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/gunshot-fired-during-protest-in-downtown-boise/277-6327f425-45ae-4f42-92d1-3eb9c31628eb) And I mean check out his picture. ROFL. I mean Jesus Christ, no amount of Soul Man is getting that guy into college. That's one white guy! He's the exception though. Most hicks know how not to shoot themselves in the foot. (https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/open-carry-black-lives-matter-protestor-has-negligent-discharge-shoots-himself-in-the-foot-video/)

Is it my fault that people who didn't grow up around guns who didn't go hunting or target shooting or go to the range and got all their gun information from video games and who decided to recently arm themselves and posture happen to be mostly black?

Notice I didn't say omg those guys should be used to guns because they're shooting each other in the ghetto every day? That's because I'm not a racist. I'm not assuming they're gang bangers and hood rats, I'm treating these people as very inexperienced and unduly passionate, so deserving of scorn on that regard. It does not follow that just because they're mostly black that criticism of them is racist in and of itself.

(Real good action pose on that guy!)

I see these guys hanging around the Port Authority or the subway when they're not busy throwing women into unmarked minivans where anything can happen.

It's always 100% same thing. Cotton t-shirt, cargo pants, belt, running shoes. These guys try to blend in and it's just ridiculous. First of all only two types of people dress like that in NYC. The suburban commuter, and he always has a backpack or a lunch box with a construction hat, and he's always booking to and from transport, not hanging out all casual like. The second is the tourist, and they're fat and have fat wives and fat children, again not athletically and casually hanging out somewhere alone or with another athletic casual guy (gay dudes don't dress like that either unless they are going to a party and are dressed ironically like hey steve is banging a tunnel rat ha ha ha hey what's in this drink?).

I mean they don't have to go all Wolverine and do the Sergeant Belker thing:

I'd guess that he's not going there to skate, he's going there to protest. So wearing appropriate footwear for the activity is suspicious?

Do you not believe someone is a football player if they don't wear cleats everywhere they go? Use your brain, even just a little bit would be fine.

[Danth]

Anyone who knows how to handle a gun, knows that you do not keep a round chambered unless you intend to fire it very very soon.

As with so much in life, it depends. Most automatic pistols are meant to be carried with a chambered round and loaded revolvers are "chambered" pretty well by definition. Same goes for break-open shotguns and most bolt action rifles unless you like walking around with an open bolt. Figure about every police officer you pass on the street has a sidearm (two, often enough) with a hot trigger. Detachable magazine-fed rifles or submachine guns, pump shotguns, and so forth? Carry them with an empty chamber, not much reason not to.

1911's are an interesting case study in the differing mindsets of different organizations. The army usually trained guys to carry them with an empty chamber and rack it as they drew. Police who carry them (they're usually discouraged, but some do) typically do so cocked & locked with one in the chamber.

This is what I keep in my Jeep (https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/model-686-plus-2). I'm very good with it considering it's a 3 inch barrel and I'm using some pretty hot .357 loads. I have a H&K USP Compact in .40 for personal carry where concealment is an issue, but I have to tell you when you handle that beautiful silver gun there's confidence there that you just don't get with anything else. It's like you're in the movie and you're the hero. With other guns I feel like I might be one of those guys on top of the saloon roof that falls down into the horse trough with a loud Wilhelm.

When will...City Council members acknowledge that putting down riots to protect lives and property is a very real function of their elected positions? Keeping mum and refusing to take action in fear of making tough decisions is not governing. It is cowardice. Enough is enough. Show some leadership.

Those are pretty harsh words from Richmond.com/Richmond-Times Dispatch which is pretty liberal as far as media outlets go and generally supportive of whatever the local Democrats are up to.

I'm getting a feeling the continuous alternate media coverage (such as independent streamers) is finally breaking through the 'peaceful protest' mantra (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbKvhnLoV0Q) being promulgated by the mainstream.

[BlackBellamy]

haha

When I joined the Republican Party, that night Governor Reagan appeared to me in a vision. 'Come with me BlackBellamy', he said and I took his hand and we flew to the Land of Conservatism.

'You do know I'm a former Communist?' I asked him.

'It's ok, look at that young law clerk down there, that's James Comey and he's going run the F.B.I. one day' he chuckled like only Reagan can. 'He's still carrying his card, unlike you.'

Relieved at receiving his approval, we flew on in silence. Soon we approached the Right Gate and were let in by William F. Buckley and his boyfriend Barry. We walked the rest of the way, approaching a lake of the purest water I have ever seen.

'That's the Pool of Conservatism" he said anticipating my question. 'It is filled with the purest substance in the universe'.

'Conservatism?' it seemed obvious to me but I still asked.

'No,' he explained like a stern yet patient parent, 'It's filled with Hope!'

'You don't understand?' he shook his head and sighed. 'Take a squat, I know you like that, and I'll explain.'

Suddenly wearing an Adidas tracksuit, I let his gaze fall on me and filled with his warmth and love I listened.

'Hope is generated by all living things. It collects here but it also flows through the universe. Every being wants to live in peace and prosper. To be surrounded by family and friends, to express themselves, to build for themselves a better life in safety and good health while surrounded by love and friendship. This desire extends to everyone and manifests itself in this form. This is Hope.'

He paused, one of those famous pauses I would see later in life right before he gave one of his jokes, but this time I could see it was important.

'Hope is fragile and Hope is naive. Excess Hope can seize men and torment them just the same as the lack of it. Men seeking Hope can be deceived, they can have their desires turned against them. Men need to stand strong in the face of temptation. But alas many are not, and their weakness can pollute these waters until they stand for nothing'

He let that sink in. I had a sudden vision of Lyndon B. Johnson with his dick out pissing right into the pool but it passed quickly!

'What can we do?' it was a simple question whose answer would form an ideological foundation for the rest of my life, but little did I know it at the time.

'We must be the Shepherds of Change my young friend' he said. 'Change is inevitable and it's almost always good, when it comes at a pace that is Right. Sometimes change comes too slow. Progress is slowed, so we must give men something that drives them forward. We must allow them to compete, to challenge themselves. We must remove barriers to competition and allow Hope to flourish!'

Then he grew stern. 'But the greatest danger is from those who propose the least restraint. Some are emboldened by Charlatans, some by wrongful thinking, and some are men like other men, and thus Evil. They think not of consequences or they care not and grow more powerful as they promise the Hopeful masses the Earth and Heavens Above!'

I knew he was serious by his noticeable use of capitalization.

'It's up to us to damper the flame, but we must never snuff it out.' he was looking right at me again. 'There is a delicate balance but we must never forget that the best Change is the one that come Slowly and Deliberately'

'Slowly and deliberately' I repeated like a moron. 'So that's why I should be a Republican?"

His face fell. I could see I was failing him.

'No. That's why you should be a Conservative!'

'But this dream is because I joined the Republican Party and you're a Republican..."

He struck me then and I welcomed it.

'Republican! Democrat! These things mean nothing, they're just names, if the Republicans are more Conservative than the Democrats that's fine but your loyalty can only be to the Idea. Look! Look at those waters again!'

I did and then I finally understood. I knew then what was important and I realized that while the task might be enormous, nothing would be so rewarding as selflessly working and sacrificing so that others might have a better tomorrow. Conservatism Über alles!

I turned to Reagan in my newfound joy but he was gone.

I was back in my bedroom.

My tracksuit was gone.

Who was harmed in this supposed "takeover"? No one. What property was damage during this takeover? None. How long did it last? Very short. Were any laws even broken? Nope. You are literally comparing a nothing burger to rioters settings shit on fire and trying, and in many cases succeeding, to seriously injury/kill people. That'ssome high levels of dumb fuckery for a clown who is about to try to preen himself as some thoughtful person dropping truth bombs on "trumptards". disengenous morons like you deserve the ravenous mob that will eventually come to bash your brains in to steal whatever they want from you. Though from your posts you are most likely dirt poor and don't have anything but covid to offer them.

So you support the inalienable right of the people to stand up to (what they believe as) tyranny as long as there's no graffiti and broken glass along the way? We'd be having a spot of tea about now and watching cricket on tv if everyone was as comfortable with authoritarianism as you are. Why do you hate America, trumptard?

There's more the the constitution than something, guns, something, something, something.

Haha yes there is and you clearly do not know anything about the constitution.

Nice awkward dodge of the fact that 30 fucking people have died in these idiotic riots, which have no end goal and are an excuse for retards to indulge their shittiest impulses. Also lol at "authoritarian". If you don't comply with this mob they will literally stomp you to death. That's a little more authoritarian than ya know, enforcing the laws that you and I both enjoy.

They are mostly peaceful guys! And like, Dahmer was mostly not a cannibal, I mean 99% of the days he was alive he was *not* eating people, so there's nothin to see here!

You can protest for whatever the fuck you want. But you only have a right to peacefully protest. You still have to obey laws and lawful commands which includes not harming people or property. That's the law. Don't like the law? Vote people in to change it. perhaps you should try reading that Constitution instead of just referencing it as a throw away line.

[hobart]

You guys seem to have a hard time separating property damage from loss of life.

Protests are, by nature, unlawful. Protestors are always technically loitering, disturbing the peace, disrupting traffic, etc. From the Boston Tea Party to BLM 2020, it's true.

Murder is murder. Rather it's a cop kneeling on George Floyd's neck, Foster in Austin, or the retired cop in St Louis. Those are acts committed by individuals against individuals. The protest is just the background. You don't blame the NFL and the teams that play in the Superbowl for the riot afterward. Well, you do if it offends you political sensibilities and you're looking for an excuse...

I'm not sure why the courthouse was chosen. My brother hasn't been participating in the protests, he's just been in the vicinity due to work, so he doesn't have a lot of inside info.

I did live in Portland for 34 years before moving abroad a few years ago for work, so probably 80% of my facebook feed is people who are from Portland or who live in Portland. A huge portion of my feed for the last month has been constant protest updates, photos, people livestreaming the protests, and information about medic stations and meeting points. My impression from what I'm seeing from people who are actually participating is that it is mostly unplanned and a lot of decisions are collectively decided as events are unfolding. So, as for "choosing targets", I haven't seen/heard of anything like that. My guess is that it's just a symbol of the justice system. /shrug

Obviously, I'm not personally present, so this is all second hand knowledge, but the sheer volume of what I see/read on a daily basis makes me fairly confident that I at least have a better grasp of what's going on than what's in a lot of the media stories circulating.

Courthouse was chosen because its a government building and they can legally protest there

Bundy had beef with the idea of federal land existing and the federal government collecting fees for it's use. Notably refusing to pay grazing fees for his cattle. It's alot different than burning down city hall.

What is your point exactly? Literally nobody is saying that property damage is just as bad as murder or something. Also nobody is saying people aren't constitutionally allowed to *peacefully* protest. The "peacefully" part is kind of important, that's literally what the first amendment says, "peaceably assemble". It does not say "smash up some small black-owned businesses in a poor neighborhood and light shit on fire seemingly at random".

You seem to have an extremely hard time just unequivocally condemning the rioting. I support the people protesting peacefully (even though I think they're highly misguided, they every right to do it), I don't support the rioters. They are making every single problem they claim to be fighting against *worse*.

My point is that these protests are about human rights and human lives. And the first thing that invariably comes out of the mouths of stupid people are either 1) oh noes, the graffiti and broken glass or 2) some false equating and signifying any violent incident at the protests -- well, except for the cops violating the constitutional rights of citizens.

We've covered the *peaceful* angle. If you went to an NFL game and a couple of drunks got into a fight would you want to shut down the NFL? Or talk about how live sporting events would be okay if it weren't for all of the rampant violence? I'm sure you've been to some sort of sporting event before. Ever look at the floor on the way out? Do you shake your fist in the air about the litter the whole car ride home?

It's ok. There's no reason to go on. You approve of violence. We get it. Broken eggs and omelettes and all that. You don't need to create any more strawmen who spin a single incident of mild violence at a very peaceful protest into a raging holocaust and you don't need to make false equivalences between drunk guys in some bar or a game and an Antifa testudo.

We haven't seen a "protest" for weeks now. Oh I'm sure there is one here and there, but NO ONE HERE IS TALKING ABOUT THESE. What we're all discussing are riots. This is a riot thread. People cutting fences with saws, throwing explosives, spraying bleach, throwing frozen water bottles, lasers and testudos. I'm sure you have seen those right? Yeah, well ok that's what's going on. Those. Not the mythical ongoing peaceful protests we don't care about because they're mild and non-violent and also they don't exist.

Here is your "Human Rights and Human Lives" assignment:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIqlMtmpKq8

Siege train arrives - start to 1:17
Besiegers arm and form Testudo - 1:17 to 2:08
Testudo begins to move - 2:08
Velitae begin frozen water bottle missile attack from behind Testudo 3:14
Testudo reaches the walls and the siege begins - 3:37
Fighting on the battlements - 4:08
Ongoing missile attacks from Syrian archers 4:24 - end
Huge Gaul mercenary smashes catapult missile - 5:42
Greek Fire used - 5:47

Are we on the same page now? You, me, the rest of the people here? Do we have some motherfucking common ground now?

You're talking about peaceful protests where maybe someone throws a rock through a window.

What the rest of us are talking about are highly organized and trained units of revolutionaries and anarchists using advanced and proven military tactics to try to murder people. If you think I'm being hyperbolic let me throw a fucking frozen water bottle at your head.

The theme is from my current Siege of Jerusalem game. Legio X 'Equestris' under Lepidus and Legio XII 'Fulminata' under Cestius have arrived and begin the standard North Wall assault without any delay with Titus and the other two legions busy offscreen doing similar work.

https://imgur.com/0Lpwurf.jpg

The Judeans receive a free Missile Phase to simulate firing at the advancing Romans before the Romans can respond, and then we move to the actual assault. The objectives of this Assault Phase will be to break into and control the New City sector, and take as few casualties as possible while enveloping the defending Judeans in a pincer movement.

The Rams will move against the weak walls in the center while Towers with riding Syrian Archers will be placed on the flanks, mainly to provide a +1 'firing through tower' modifier at the Judean missile fire against the Heavy Inf pushing the rams. Those must be kept fresh and crewed at all times. The Testudos, each containing Velitae, will approach the walls to soak off some Judean fire and to keep the bastion defenders distrupted with missile fire supported by a ballista, an onager, and four catapults.

Hopefuly I can get some breaches going in a few turns and then I can send in some full cohorts in with Titus that I'm keeping cohesive for the final push. The large amount of clear hexes in the New City should make Titus into a rampage machine. If I get lucky I'll be able to get some Rams against the next set of walls so I can get a breach going prior to the next Assault Phase.

If there's one thing I learned about fighting the Jews is that you don't go in with your Towers and Escalades and try to assault their walls after minimal missile preparation. Sure you'll take a portion of the wall but the counter-attack will wipe you right the fuck out because Zealots don't play. Then you're down a cohort, lost a turn, and back to where you started. What you do is move in the Rams, protect their crews, and just stand back and shoot missiles. Wait. It sucks to do nothing when your men are dying yes. It sucks to see fresh Judeans rotate right in after you disrupt some. But after a couple of turns you have a multi-hex breach. Then you send in everyone at once, full fresh Heavy Inf cohorts through, remaining up on the walls and missile troops right behind. Once you're in you can reposition some Rams to start knocking down any isolated Forts.

Me and all the other 50 year old depressed overweight divorced dads with 250k miles on their civics agree this is one fine way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

It's not even slow. It's dead. People have checked out for covid and the summer. Also chaos is reigning because our CEO got cancelled and no one knows who is running the place.

theres actually a horse-shoe effect with extremely low-int on the high end of the other political wing. For instance I have a friend I see regularly who owns a large plot of land with a complex of mansions and guest homes and a big garage full of vintage cars. He's an "investor" and a "patron" of mine (I don't really work anymore, I decided to retire at 30) and we don't do sex stuff but I do this thing compulsively where I titillate powerful men, so I admit our time together is a little sexually charged. Usually, I wear one belly shirt or another and boots $1200 retail that go up to my tight little thighs (I'm six foot 140lbs) and lose the boots at the door. But there really isn't any sex.

Anyway, the man is at least $50 million worth and he thinks the virus is entirely made-up. 100% made up. He also almost killed me with an overdose once because in his opinion you can't overdose on that stuff. A real big-brained job creator. He pays out big handful grips of cash just for me to act sort of right-wing and hang out for 45 mins. :D He wants me to provide him with a "passable gf for a long term thing" if there are any pretty, relatively stable trans females here who are capable of "away missions" interested in knowing mas. -j

After I got out of a hell job in a shot-up hotel in the ghetto, I decided to deal cocaine like some of my other friends. But since I was also just fresh out of college, I used that to get a job as a resident counselor in a facility for people transitioning out of long-term care in a psychiatric hospital to a more community-based setting. Like that house on your block full of crazy people out of nowhere? We would rent houses in nice neighborhoods for top dollar and just pack them in! So I would cruise around town on my studly motorcycle delivering cocaine and as part of my lower paid but more rewarding job I would also visit all the homes and make sure no one was stabbing each other and they were doing their chores. I would also counsel them.

How do you counsel a 35-year old woman who dresses like Sailor Moon full-time and carries a giant lollipop and pink inflatable beach ball? I mean I don't think there was Sailor Moon in '86 but that was her look. She would find these older guys and they would come to the group home and wait outside in their Jaguars while she got ready and then they would go off and she would walk around and giggle and look at them and they would sit there and watch her back. She wouldn't do any sex-stuff but she intimated they would jerk off or do some weird up-the-ass stuff to themselves. According to her. I didn't give a shit; my job was chores with no stabbery so I tried to redirect.

The best time was when the guy came to pick her up and someone opened the door and we all looked at him and he looked at us and while Karen was going "Sorry I know we have a meeting but I gotta go!" I was busy locking eyes with the guy I sold cocaine to an hour before. Fun times!

[PieOats]

I woke in the usual way, blindly fingering my mobile device while the belligerent sounds streaming from it scratched at my skull. I hit the right spot and the noises stopped.

I yawned, my face contorting in the unflattering way that faces do when one yawns. I scratched my inner thigh and cracked my ankles. Today would be a good day.

I settled into the weight of my body and rolled from the bed. The carpet was cool and coarse beneath my flat feet as I shuffled toward the closet, my ass crack peeking shyly from the top of my plaid pantsu.

I wouldn't compare myself to this character! I swear I come off classy and brainy. I wear "too much blacks and greys" not sailor moon anime.

It's not the same as the freakish slutty thing. It's a hole different aesthetic. For me it's always my doctors and stuff that fall in love. This might sound hard to believe, but in my real life, there is no aggravating narration and I can squeeze myself into some really narrow corridors. I am super humble. I am also really good at pronouncing big words and stuff. So I am clearly not like her at all, that girl you met in the 1980s when you were still middle aged.

She sounds like a Little. I am glad such people have community now and a banner and identity to wear. I don't identify as such explicitly but the truth is my husband and I agree that I am a dependent. It would be an emotional issue if it weren't a physical one (and it is cuz my hands are bork). I am super lucky he is highly chivalrous about keeping me hydrated in between breedings, and feeding me the leafy greens and healthy things that comprise a balanced pet diet. This is a fulfilling state of affairs for the Little, or me. Before, I had to interface w/ reality directly, no Owner layer, & it was just 24 hr torture and I sat around making fun of people for being libturds.

On my way to the office, I passed several Democrats. They had congregated in the far left lane, reluctant to traverse the roads of this uncertain world alone. Their Priuses nuzzled one another affectionately from behind as they read through the collage of political stickers plastering each other’s bumpers.

I happened to glance as they passed beneath a random street light having no apparent purpose and otherwise alone on this stretch of rural highway. Dim light dribbled into the passenger cabins of their motor vehicles, seemingly reluctant to fill them with more than a wavering glow. The light skidded along their clean foreheads, stumbling across the well-worn creases of discontent etched there and splashed down onto the surgical masks that they wore as they drove. In their cars. Alone. I sniffed contemptuously and adjusted my glasses.

I wouldn't compare myself to this character! I swear I come off classy and brainy. I wear "too much blacks and greys" not sailor moon anime.

It's not the same as the freakish slutty thing. It's a hole different aesthetic. For me it's always my doctors and stuff that fall in love. This might sound hard to believe, but in my real life, there is no aggravating narration and I can squeeze myself into some really narrow corridors. I am super humble. I am also really good at pronouncing big words and stuff. So I am clearly not like her at all, that girl you met in the 1980s when you were still middle aged.

She sounds like a Little. I am glad such people have community now and a banner and identity to wear. I don't identify as such explicitly but the truth is my husband and I agree that I am a dependent. It would be an emotional issue if it weren't a physical one (and it is cuz my hands are bork). I am super lucky he is highly chivalrous about keeping me hydrated in between breedings, and feeding me the leafy greens and healthy things that comprise a balanced pet diet. This is a fulfilling state of affairs for the Little, or me. Before, I had to interface w/ reality directly, no Owner layer, & it was just 24 hr torture and I sat around making fun of people for being libturds.

I wasn't comparing you :) The borderline whore was just there for flavor. My point was that the 1980s were my high-water mark. I broke three ribs on that bike later and cocaine got way too cheap to make margin without volume and cocaine volume is what gets you RICO'd into FCI Hellhole for the rest of your life so I sold off what I had along with my broken bike and became just a regular guy without any adventures.

Additionally, if there's no election in any of the 50 states, we'll have no President, VP, House of Representatives, and be down 35 Senators. Of the 35 Senators we'd lose, more than 20 will be Republicans. That gives us President Patrick Lahey.

As usual, our idiot President is proving he doesn't understand the basics of how government works. Unless you think his goal in asking to postpone the elections was to leave office and leave a Democrat in charge for however long?

The House and 1/3 of the Senate terms end on January 3rd, noon per the 20th Amendment. It is as clearly stated as it is for the President and VP on January 20th, noon.

What you're saying goes against everything I've read, not that it matters. This is just another case of the President proving he has no clue how his job works. I'm sure the people on his staff who can read have explained it to him by now. Rather he listened, we'll see.

The more involved they get in the local economy, the more complicit they become. You should see the PNW theatre, performing arts, philanthropy scene it is disgusting. If you want a career working for old money in the "culture" sphere prepare to be peddling Russiagate plays etc. Not even exaggerating I saw a man piss himself on stage in a Russiagate show in Portland in 2018; part of the script. Weyerhauser money; no idea what their connection is to globalism or why they felt compelled to produce this stuff which they do not even watch. They left for Geneva early in the pandemic. The idea that these foreign-raised inheritors-royal identify as American makes me a little nauseated.

I think it is as simple as that Carlo Scandiuzzi the no-name Italian who definitely isn't a mobster but somehow married Weyerhauser royalty runs PNW theater (with Vulcan, Paul Allen's firm) for Weyerhauser's clout, so they can jockey like "Carnegies of the West" for that public mindshare for their storied name with little to no other agenda (just, nothing *too* radical!). He, his wife, and his consigliere's crew don't have very good taste in fine art nor a hard edge with which to earnestly speak politics. It's all Tom Sowell and Reaganomics. The principals are crypto republicans and excellent filibusterers. The artists themselves, however, are little television pod people wholly responsible for the state of things, as best as I can tell. Particularly city girls born with two X chromosomes seem ready to see street executions of all the wrong people. These lazy fucking mobsters have been out on jet skis not managing the national lore, they left that to ex-Harry Potter slashfic girls on T. I have no idea what to do but to retire from being concerned about it. I think the key is to start cutting more checks to people and reduce the power of mob thinking a la antivax or mass flash mob riots with outright regulation. Let the plundering royals blast off to space so long as they keep a fraction of the robots dedicated to feeding we 8 billion. It's a brave new world but at least the boot is covered in suboxone and trap sweat droplets, and therapy's free. -j

the history of all hitherto existing human society is the history of class struggles, comrade.

[BlackBellamy]

Class warfare. When Marx and Lenin started talking about class struggle, people, especially the cuck* intellectuals of the early 20th century thought it meant class rivalry, conducted through the ballot box or maybe some mild protests.

Little did they know that class struggle meant class warfare accompanied by actual mass violence, which would physically destroy the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie, physically destroy their shops and factories, physically destroy the schools and the courts. We are seeing shops and courts destroyed, I guess they're working through the list at random, or just lazy this time around with the easier targets.

It’s actually animal husbandry, the plow, the windmill, alternating current. Human progress is driven by innovation, mostly by a few individuals. Instead of being thankful for longevity and relative peace, we chafe at the few remaining elements of our lives that are unfair and unjust, even though this is undoubtedly the best time to be alive. Instead of embracing what we do have and maximizing our gifts, focusing on our mental well-being, emotional and physical health, we are a species of cowards, whiners, diabetics, losers, incels, and the obese. That is the spirit of protest. To act victimized instead of striving to make tomorrow better than today, through careful thought and introspection

I know I will never invent anything of great value or worth. I’ve worked hard and paid my taxes and raised three good kids. I hope they know their job isn’t to struggle against their fellow man. It’s to do the best they can and to leave the world a better place in the hopes that either they or someone touched by their kindness might bring along the next innovation that improves our collective lot

Maybe too smart.

I would go to Home Depot and buy a shovel or an ax handle (just the handle), then just carry it around casually all the time or like at home when I'm not doing anything just grip it and rotate it around. Get some callouses going. That's how they got my great-grandpa. My grandma told me they were executing anyone who didn't look like a peasant or a laborer back in early 1918 when the Marxists took over Kiev. He was a bourgeois shop owner with soft hands so they shot him in the street and he just lay there cause it was too dangerous for his wife to drag him back in. Later she tossed her 8-year old daughter into the hands of some retreating soldiers and ran off to be captured and raped and sent to Siberia. It's ok though, my grandma (who was 'adopted' by the soldiers for a couple of months until they passed her to a nunnery where she learned to be a seamstress) got her mom back in 1974 so it turned out aight. Those silly Bolsheviks! Anyway, here I am!

None of these new “Marxist revolutionaries” are of the proletariat. They would have been quickly dispatched, or I guess maybe slowly starved, by the soviets whom they seem to hold on such a high pedestal. I know these people, they are only in it for the fashion. Sure, they are angry, but these are people who jump from one fad to the next, always one uping one another ad nauseam until something newer is pushed onto them.

If you look at the history of Ben & Jerry’s, you always had noble goals: You wanted to keep control of the company. You wanted the highest-paid employee to never make more than five times that of the lowest-paid employee. You didn’t want to keep growing for the sake of growth. And yet you had to sell the company, that pay ratio wasn’t maintained and the company just kept growing.

Ben & Jerry’s had reported sales of $681.5 million in 2019. In 2000, when the company was sold to Unilever, its sales were a reported $237 million. What does that show us about how capitalism can subsume good intentions?

The end result of capitalism is not unlike a Monopoly game. One guy gets all the bucks, and everybody else loses. What we have in America is a democracy that’s run for the benefit of corporations. That’s a disaster. We’re looking at it, we’re living it and it continues to get worse. Does that answer your question?

its because my ancestors gave some people guns and told other people to trade them slaves if they wanted guns to defend themselves from the other people who now were attacking them with guns, setting the material conditions for africans to favor organizing into tribes constantly fighting each other to trade other tribes' members as slaves for guns, and thus starting the colonial cycle that would one day grow up to become first the transatlantic slave trade and which to this day continues as 'capitalism', op.

That's a really lofty and longwinded answer, but that doesn't explain why, given the incredibly cheap availability of seed, and the ever-looming threat of starvation, no one can pick up a shovel and pry earth.

I mean, if you have a lighter shade of skin and start farming, they murder you and your whole family; cooking you alive in your shower, then return right back to the starving state. Makes you wonder.

This is a sensitive topic, and I mean no disrespect to any group of people. It does seem to be the case that while Sub-Saharan Africans have distinct advantages when it comes to physical capabilities (sprinting, endurance running, jumping etc) they seem to be behind the worlds average when it comes to IQ.

This may be why here in the USA we see nearly all professional sports saturated with athletes of African decent, yet there seems to be very few African Americans in STEM fields. In fact, STEM fields are dominated by north eastern Asians and Northern Europeans because they do in fact as an aggregate have an IQ of about 107 vs sub Saharan Africans IQ of about 75 to 85. The US militaries cut off for IQ is 83 btw, which basically means if you have less than that, you aren’t worth training.

Different peoples are just better at different things. Hell, look at the olympics, black people have been dominating the running and jumping events for as long as they have been allowed to participate.

I think you're kind of confused. I would argue "capitalism" continues the cycle of carnivore and prey from the bacterial days. I have a genetic memory that swears the beautiful humans were bred selectively, carefully, under some sort of pseudoscientific tyranny based on observed inheritable traits. Slavery and ritual cannibalism was alive and well in the New World when we arrived, too, as well as Africa -- not only after. The story of mankind is the story of the slaver. It's the story of a race brilliant enough to commit a complete genocide of the much toothier, rapier, hungrier-for-human-flesh lower hominid species and then forget blissfully, retiring into nonsense dreams of pillows and snuggles and cummy funny money.

It's the story of a race brilliant enough to commit a complete genocide of the much toothier, rapier, hungrier-for-human-flesh lower hominid species and then forget blissfully, retiring into nonsense dreams of pillows and snuggles and cummy funny money.

but i dont think "capitalism is good" at all.......lol this felt like an actual bot reply to the point that I am suspicious. Did I use a keyword when I said

I think you're kind of confused. I would argue "capitalism" continues the cycle of carnivore and prey from the bacterial days.

i propose we arm the whole working class at once with rifles, cannon, and ammunition. any attempts to disarm the workers must be frustrated by force if necessary.

So far American overabundance has served Starkind well. In communist America starkind would surely die because no one would eat or want what starkind provides. Wholesome home cooked and grown meals and bread. Are already kinda pretty much publix outlawed.

You have got to be the bougiest most privileged asshole ever to unironically endorse a completely failed system of organizing society. It has failed over and over, spanning multiple centuries, accross multiple cultures and extremely varied parts of the world. To the extent that some countries are partially socialist, they succeed in spite of it, not because of it (they succeed because of the capitalist elements). Likewise if you want to shit on capitalism and actually be honest and consistent about it, you have to first acknowledge the good it does and continues to do. It's very hard to do the same for socialism, since it has historically resulted in mountains of skulls and mass starvation, and I think there was like one purely socialist society that existed for all of ten years before collapsing. Any economic system that is almost indistinguishable in concept from rage against the machine lyrics is probably going to be unimaginably simplistic and dumb.

Unless you're just trolling of course in which case gg

zodium is closer to the truth than the others yes. We have socialized frozen pizza flooding our stores selling under cost, which nobody has said a peeep about so far as I can tell. $2. That's the market holding this thing together, right?

PS the "socialism hasn't worked" thing is really really stupid and tired. "Socialism" layered over a market system, like Imperial Rome (very classically liberal), has a long history. Buying calm from the population has a long history. It's just a Joe Rogan line; it leads into shitting on brown countries so it feels good to say if you are maintaining a poorly-concealed racial animus. But it is meaningless. "Socialism" has been used as a standard tool of coercion in virtually every government since the word was invented. And before. -j

What kind of goof even thinks the US is capitalist? Do you think fair competition really exists between big businesses and each other? Between big businesses and small businesses? Really, the USA is only capitalist in the sense that it is largely controlled by those who live off their wealth, and their capital controls large swathes of our economy and politics. Entire industries propped up by archaic laws and special interests, government-mandated monopolies layered upon monopoly-mandated governance.

Meanwhile, the working class, people like you (in this thread)-- and make no mistake, if you sell your labor to survive, you are working class-- get pitted against each other in the purest form of competition that actually exists in our system: labor vs. labor. Capitalist systems are designed such that wealth creates more wealth in an ever-recursive positive feedback loop. Hell, in the form of venture capitalism and 'angel investment', they even get a cut of and gatekeep every new idea and every innovation that enters the system.

It's really a pretty great paradigm if you're like me and were born rich and never really have to work for any other reason than personal development. Well, great in that people see merit where there isn't any and my inter-generational advantage is maximized. But fucking terrible in all other respects, because it's evil and unjust.

Again: If you sell your labor to survive, you are a peasant, and you are being exploited by capitalists. Those of you peasants who attack other peasants to defend capitalists are an extra layer of sad.

I wish I wasn't mentally ill and disabled. But I am not going to engage on a full on assault with my betters because I want them handicap themselves to make things easier for myself or "fair".

None of that will better civilization which is the only thing that will outlive me.

My life and liberty is essentially meaningless if the cost is the obliteration of billions of proletarian.

Give me headpats for my virtuosity.

[douglas1999]

Yeah and the US has social programs, which I'm not opposed to, but they "work" due to the overwhelmingly capitalist architecture that funds them.

Gotta love the totally baseless assertions of racial animus and bigotry, can't have a proper discussion without those.

no dude, you are dead wrong. Socialism hasn't worked and there are no examples of it being implemented successfully. There are plenty of examples where socialism seemingly works on a small, almost tribal scale, but the second the sample size increases beyond peoples ability to check the people that are benefitting from said community, major issues arise.

By the way, the average Venezuelan lost 19 pounds in 2017, and it wasn't because they decided to count calories and switch to a plant based diet. We as Americans are so damn rich, we have the exact opposite problem.

Give me a ten point plan bud. How would you fix it, bearing in mind our principal faults aren’t economic, they’re social. Declining marriage rates = halving your income voluntarily. Eating worse = having less years that are less healthy

I could go on, but I see the political and economic decline being related to social decay in terms of values. America is 40% obese. Capitalism didn’t fail us, we failed it

bread dole was wildly popular and stabilized the empire repeatedly. It was an excellent implementation of what I would call a social program, a program written by somebody doing a social collectivist thing. Idk based on this nonsequitur return to talking points I just kinda doubt we're going to talk about anything that hasn't been covered on Rogan word-for-word, so, well, best of luck. -j
