Oh shit I hadn’t thought of that aspect.
Probably a fast developing story.
Kind of strange, these don’t seem like the high profile people that usually attract the nutters. Almost wonder if it was personal but apparently the guy had a whole list so that might be less likely.
Well they found the vehicle and it was a non-police vehicle disguised as police. So while this doesn’t 100% rule out it being police, it seems a reasonable inference.
They did mention it though?
Troops who invade our country and do violence to our people are our enemy, no matter what flag they fly or uniform they wear. Fuck these scum.
Don’t worry, there won’t be many more like this. They’ll be much hotter.
Fascism always requires an enemy. So they are manufacturing them.
True but it’s a very stupid political strategy.
Not the same but in US politics left liberals and leftists are part of the same coalition by necessity.
Although, I’m also not convinced this debate divides people cleanly in terms of ideology. I definitely know plenty of leftists who voted for Kamala.
It’s never the time for minority infighting. Make your case, recognize that not everyone will agree, collaborate on shared goals and work independently where there are disagreements. But don’t waste your breath tearing each other down. It’s just not helpful.
Musk ready to join the resistance now that he’s been exiled? Lol
Whatever you say Mr. Trotsky.
Y’all we really need to find a way to stop with the infighting. Now is really not the time.
Based on my reading, porn addiction isn’t a real medical condition and is largely driven by internalized or external stigma around porn usage. Usually, but not always stemming from a religious worldview that shames people for masturbating or having an interest in sex outside of the context of heterosexual marital procreation.
There could be small numbers of people who truly have an unhealthy relationship with porn, but if so, they are greatly outnumbered by the people I described above, such that I haven’t found research on their experiences.
Why do you wish it was less accessible? I was in the same boat but I feel it was largely a source of sexual satisfaction and even education in some cases. And today I have many and very healthy relationships with women, just to preempt those questions.
Despite decades-long moral panic around this topic, I haven’t found much evidence for pornography harming young people, maybe aside from some niche issues that are not well-addressed with this type of legislation.
Sure if you live in a society where corruption is legal and normal, as most of us do, then you might think so.
But I refuse to accept this kind of thing as normal.
There are plenty of plants that can subsist on minimal irrigation.
What is the basis of your disagreement? I have hoped for this outcome for my entire adult life but things have only gotten worse and more hateful during that time. There simply is no interest from the right and even much of the center to fight against this. It’s time to let go and realize we can’t save everyone. If they want to fight for local autonomy we can support them. If they want to flee we can welcome them.
But what we can’t do is continue down the same path of the last 15 years. We can’t have a national government that 50% of the time wants to continue the status quo and 50% of the time wants to go on a violent rampage against itself and the people of this country. That just can’t work, and I don’t see a path to a place where it can. We need to build something new for the people who haven’t lost their minds as best we can and let the lunatics self-destruct if that’s what they want to do.
