@kaniini @realcaseyrollins Oh, I don’t know, they do tend to have some minor differences in the precise form their ideal State takes. The anti-gun thing of the “left” vice the anti-… not sure what to call it. Not really sex thing but whatever one wants to call it.. on the “right” for instance

@wolfie @realcaseyrollins but that's the point, both have the same actual ideal world is one of a corporatocracy. the rest is PR.

@realcaseyrollins @kaniini To various degrees, both ‘sides’ are ultimately Statists. The only real difference is exactly which form and flavor the State takes in their ideal world

@realcaseyrollins @djsumdog But.. but.. we need to know the critical forecast for this weekend :laughing_cirno:

@realcaseyrollins Yep. Apparently the first time any police department has been sued for human rights violations (at least by their state government). https://nu.federati.net/notice/3315102

@cirno
I mean I'm strongly anti-abortion () but y'all make great points about the opposing contraception, esp. the religious right.

The fringer segments of the religious are particularly peculiar on this. They are against sex ed in schools, fine, but don't seem to be for parents actually teaching them valuable things about sex and the various ways it's done and protections. They want to ban abortion, which again is a laudable goal, but tell people "don't have sex" instead of steering them towards methods of birth control that don't kill a fetus (preventative birth control, I think it's called)! Like we aren't dang Catholics! Opposing all birth control is * not * biblical.

@mewmew @kaniini @realcaseyrollins Like 90% of Republicans claiming to fight for christian values have never read the book, they're only doing it to get the votes of actual worshippers (since they used to be the majority in america)

Y'all ever consider that these riots are more similar to the Revolutions of 1848 over in than the Boston Tea Party? 🤔

I should probably give users the ability to override the default brand color so they can experience the beauty of many colors.

To those of you who want a civil war, I say to you: you have no idea what you’re asking for. The causalities of war are high. You do realize that being the most moral or righteous does not in any way guarantee victory? There is literally no justice in war, only souls convinced of their rigorousness with promise of nobility. It is vanity to see glory in war. It is hubris exemplified! No American is asking for the war you want. No minority gives a shit about your white guilt.

@djsumdog civil war between who? people who do want to burn things down and those that do not?

@kaniini EXACTLY!!! There are few distinguishing features of the , the cause and gun rights are literally the only things keeping me voting consistently.

@realcaseyrollins (also to be clear what the GOP platform is, is not conservatism. it's the same neoliberal crap the Democrats push except more transparently focused on big business and big money interests. real conservatism is advocacy for small government that takes the best ideas from across the spectrum to obtain the best possible outcomes.)

@kaniini
Wouldn't it be great to take money used for intervention and use it to properly run the VA system? 🙂

@realcaseyrollins sure, and that's what I am saying. I would believe that some of those chapters are either authcom terror cells or adjacent. those people are appropriating the idea of anti-fascism (a good thing) for their revolutionary agenda. I don't support those groups or their appropriation, and calling them "antifa terrorists" legitimizes their appropriation, a play that trump wants people to take as it strengthens his control.

(also in general, I'm more of a #NeverTrump conservative, in that I would like small government, but I believe that some socialist ideas could help to make the world a better place. I would rather mothball the F-35 and SLS programs and pointless wars and use that money for healthcare for example.)
@realcaseyrollins dont think this is gonna change any time soon. state is too blue.
@shadowferret

Pretty much. And what's more annoying on twitter is that everyone expects you to say something, even if you have no stake in it.

Like asking Nintendo to make a statement even though they're committed to being apolitical

@djsumdog @realcaseyrollins

@kaniini @realcaseyrollins lol, my original suggestion was going to be for thermal goggles since they don’t get overloaded by bright lights and can work even in day, but I kind of consider both them and light magnification goggles as night vision when used for that purpose.

@lucky
Yeah. It's possible that the police could go after the rioters and one could easily get caught in the crossfire. Best to be prepared.
