It’s totally wild to me how Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson just dominated the podcast space. I was off listening to The Adventure Zone and Stuff You Missed In History Class and Revolutions and mfs kept asking me to listen to those dipshits. I tried one episode of Rogan and was like “this sucks, he’s a fucking idiot”, and they were like “yeah, I know, right? It’s great!”
Remember when Gemini said that you should eat at least one small rock per day?
I want them to go further, not put on the brakes. Somebody responded with a quote showing that the curfews were much more limited in scope than I thought.
Oh, is the curfew not city wide?
They’re opposing the people opposing ICE. They’re supposed to be the opposition party, but all they ever seem to oppose seriously is the left.
Fuckin assholes
Let me guess, the protests in TX aren’t even that remarkable.
Democrats: okay, we’ve had our two days of larping like we don’t agree with the republicans lmao. You need to sit down, shut up, and let our special fascist boys do their work.
Skimmed the article. There’s some stuff that stinks and is definitely worth investigating, but I wouldn’t call it a bombshell; there’s no hard evidence outlined in the article that the voting machines were altered to tamper with results. Tbh, I remain surprised that the Harris campaign backed down so quick and easy instead of running the usual week or two of spaghetti plate legal challenges to the results. They really just took them at face value, threw their hands in the air, and said “okay, guess we’re done here.”
Talking a whole lot of shit for someone riding around in a machine that will find literally any excuse to break down. Helicopters are sketchy as fuck, and even if you manage to autorotate perfectly to try and recover from a stall, you’re still liable to suffer severe or fatal injuries. It’s super easy to crash due to human error or some kind of mechanical failure.
It’s a robotaxi or on-demand flammable barricade, depending on your particular use case
None, because the cops skipped town; I think it was said that they all left for Belarus, for the most part.
There is no way Newsom has this much balls. There is no way he could possible be this based.
Right? Golly, I hope he proves me wrong.
Daily reminder that the media of the time did not hail King as the paragon of non-violence as we do today. The rhetoric were that his protests were violent and disruptive, and that they ought to be stopped. It was only after he was successful that all that rhetoric was blown away and retroactively painted with the brush of acceptance and approval.
Also worth noting that in the 2014 Maidan protests, one of the only times nobody got hurt was when the group announced an armed peaceful march and the cops made themselves scarce.
Yeah, nobody’s been hurt except by the cops. Some waymos and cop cars got burned; that’s what they call Monday in LA.
I think a really good lesson comes from the documentary “Winter on Fire” about the 2014 Maidan protests. The tl;Dr is that the protestors organized a peaceful march, and the police set up a sniper corridor and started mowing people down indiscriminately. They shot people who ran out with stretchers to carry the people who’d been shot. That night, the protestors regrouped and announced their plans to march again tomorrow, and to do so armed, all 90,000 of them. Like a Christmas fucking miracle, the cops found somewhere else to be the next day, and nobody got shot.
There’s a really good documentary on it called “Winter on Fire”. The full thing is available on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/yzNxLzFfR5w
You don’t need violence per se, as much as the threat of it. Take the 2014 Maidan protests; the cops were happy to set up a sniper corridor along the planned peaceful march route and cut down unarmed protestors. That night the protestors announced they’d be coming back tomorrow, only all of them armed with guns. Cops today might be militarized, but that’s nothing in the face of 90,000 people with guns, and they know it, so they miraculously found somewhere else to be the next day and nobody got shot.
We’ve already seen the ghost of Christmas future here, it’s when Georgia implemented their live scan law and all the small and mid size farmers in Georgia lost their whole harvest (and subsequently, the farm) because they just couldn’t get Americans to come and pick for what they’re willing to pay. A lot of these farmers voted and stumped for Trump, believing that certainly the face eating leopard who eats everyone’s face and promises to eat everyone’s face wouldn’t eat their face. Get ready for a lot of “waaahhh, I didn’t think he would hurt meeeeeeee” from these guys as millions of pounds of tomatoes rot on the vine this summer.
Also, this just fucking sucks. I live in the central valley, ag is a really big deal here, and a lot of ag workers are really hard-working stand up folks. Nobody deserves ICE, but these folks especially don’t deserve it. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish ICE agents a very merry court date ASAP.
