@Adam_Cadmon1 I watched Black Lives Matter "peaceful protestors" set cars on fire, break the windows out of stores, steal tons of shit and cause actual real terrorism on the streets of Chicago right outside my building. The terrorism continued the entire weekend. I drove out to a Taco Bell and saw all the windows broken out and boxes scattered all over the streets from every store that had been looted. One owners was on the news, a Korean American who said $300k worth of merch had been stolen. None of these businesses had insurance that covered riots (riot insurance is insanely expensive). I had to get through police checkpoints on the way home and there had been several carjackings in the area. City dump trucks were blocking/protecting a Burger King ... interesting to see which businesses Lightfoot chose to protect and which ones were left to burn.

I wrote this article after it happened, documenting some of the riots and my opinions at the time:

It's not "bullshit," it's what I saw with my own fucking eyes.

Seems pretty clear to me, want to place limits on it, get support for a new amendment.

Fedi advice

I had a guy tell me, he had been trying to argue in a good faith for days in his thread.

The thread had 2 posts.
And after he blocked me, I tried to open his post from a different instance. HOLY SHIT.

If you want people to see your posts, MAYBE, don't block 95 percent of them, because if the instance actually respects the block, guess what? It breaks the threads into oblivion.

WTF is this hellthread?

@ChristiJunior @doctorsex @blacklight
Nothing tells me more about the current state of the US politics as the pride that lefties have when proclaiming their willingness to attack the other side.

And then, the absolute shock, when the response is ""ok, guess it's a war then""

Also, we've grown up in a world of "industrial scale" solutions.

We don't grow food, we plan automated farms etc. Literally 99 percent of things you can do, you can do on an industrial scale. If you vote, you change 1 ballot. If you go stream, you can change millions.

So, we no longer see the use of small solutions. But building a healthy family is a personal process. That is something we no longer understand.

It's like a poetry

Of course, even the original post called for > "Showing zero tolerance towards the intolerant and the illiberal is a civic duty for any democracy that wants to protect its health."

So.... yeah.
