@sim @realcaseyrollins in my view public schools have largely served as a future employee indoctrination system. Where can one develop entrepreneurial skills if the hidden curriculum is trying to instill obedience and rule-following into you?
@realcaseyrollins Hmm. Not sure how that would look but it would likely benefit everyone to some degree. I mean, there are skillsets you need to become an entrepreneur that just isn't taught in schools right now but would benefit you even if you were an employee, you know? Mostly relating to communication, getting/negotiating contracts and earning the confidence you need to make it. Maybe also how to handle stress.

@a7 @p @colonelj If what they see saying can be verified I'll believe them. In general I'm just not a big fan of heresay.

My dad is learning about microagression, ableism, and misgendering for the first time lol

@khird So long as you oppose stopping riots, you are fine enough with rioting to not support those against it.

@a7 @p @realcaseyrollins maybe they're lying. how it even be verified? i'm gonna need an article or interview or something.
@realcaseyrollins @a7 That is what I think he meant by the cops seizing people's guns for being suspected of being alt-right.
@realcaseyrollins @a7 I'm not okay with it: they're demanding a government service to do something they can and should do for themselves. If everyone knows there's a 1-2% chance that you put a brick through a window and the occupants return fire means that there is a 0% chance bricks go through the windows in that area. So you need a small number of people willing to defend themselves and the riots don't arrive in your neighborhood. This means that the places getting looted have people marching in, burning buildings, unopposed. The government hasn't stopped it. The places that aren't getting looted are the places where the people shoot back.

@realcaseyrollins @a7 CHAZ didn't get the media attention it deserved. The majority of Americans don't know about the multiple shootings, police unable to get into the area, how the city assisted by providing toilets and barricades, the massive class action lawsuit ... the main stream media has kept that story from the vast majority of the US public. Still, thankfully, other cities have torn down and stopped other CHAZ style zones; so there's some hope that some mayors are paying attention.

Wouldn't it be cool if we stopped raising employees and started raising CEOs?

@realcaseyrollins @a7 I doubt we'd see any calls for secession. The vast majority of 🇺🇸 are for keeping the nation together. Ideology isn't split between states today; it's split between cities and non-cities, urban and rural. BLM is America's Sayyid Qutb. He tried to push Egypt to war, but the people abhorred the violence. That being said, I know a lot of people/friends who justified the violence/looting. With the pandemic, we're loosing surveillance into what our IRL friends actually think too.

@p @a7 Fair but in this case they are using the least possible violence to stop those terrorizing the nation. I'm cool with that. And actually bravo for the vanning cuz these are the least violent arrests I've seen in a bit.
