Then you know, the military has a name for when, during bad suck, the rule of the day, every damn day, is FUBAR.

I know some survivors, some people who hold steady. Those people are like magicians to me. I'm an old white dude who, since I wuz raised in Long Island NY and NOT THE NORTH FUCKING SHORE, has always been around the whole mix. But, guess what. You think I ever got busted for shoplifting? And you want to bet it was because I *knew* how to look "right"?

That's all spilt milk under the bridge. Now I'm in the countryside, cuz cheep.

The nearest I can tell the police treat the "poor" half of town (I live right above it... come on, man, I'm old) as an inmate farm. They bust em, bail em, probation them, and then, bust for prob violation which is the money shot sentence wise.

Is it the police the problem? Fuckin police think they are in Fallujah an hour drive from Amish land, fucking pussies.

I'm gonna say a simple word here that has caused literally millions of idiots to make fools of themselves over the past few years.

The problems are not really "personal". They are structural.

Word of the day: structural. It means: nothing to do with you *or anyone* personally at all, one single bit.

Unless you decide to deny it. Or decide to maybe fix it some.

What if I do structural criticism with a dash of personal attacks? Maybe a peppering of obvious mental illness?

Self-awareness is important, as is honesty that doesn't put one in danger

If the riots in France are any indication, anti-police hatred isn’t an America problem

I wonder, what developed country absolutely loves their police? I certainly haven’t heard of it. Seems like police are set up to fail

What I don’t think Dems realize is that by vilifying police they make people not want to be police officers, which creates staffing shortages which see everywhere, which creates looser hiring qualifications, which creates more shitty cops. So hating on police is a death spiral leading to shittier police

Poverty breeds crime and crime breeds poverty. Police are always going to be more active in areas with more crime, which are poor areas. No surprise this is the case for every first world country, none of which seems to outwardly like their police

A lot of people will choose to deny the problem if you tell them they are who must suffer to fix it.

Of course, the only way to secure the vote is to say you're going to lower taxes AND increase spending.

If the power and scope of the federal government was constrained, the incentives for lobbying would be reduced.

Is quoting Lenin still a power move? The entire "This is what a revolution will look like" lore of your average sensible in-era revolutionary still sounds like something out of Jules Verne's discarded romans à clef.

And if that isn't bad enough we have of late been reminded that Russia, much like Carthage, must be destroyed.

Well, this is literally a case of, "as the old saying goes." History might not make sense but it rhymes like Busta.

So how deep is the hole now, in terms of depth?

Well considering you endlessly call everyone a racist 24/7 (on whatever current burner account you're using) I'd say it's deeper and wider than the grand canyon

Oh no, it sounds serious! This will totally stop me from calling racists racists, that's how I got you to stop talking about the 2020 election, after all

You'd made a great psychologist if it wasn't for that pesky farm life
