Because smashing their car and attacking them would make us horrible too.

I mean I understand where he is coming from. There are sooo many kinds of honey on the market… which one is it exactly? Can you post a link so we can block it?

I agree, the problem is you have to consume at some level you need food water clothes etc. and for poorer people 100% of their income goes to just buying the basics. You also don’t want to put other citizens out of jobs because of a boycott, that would get unpopular quickly.

For this to work long term you need to get the top 10% or 20% of consumers to cut back on the extras. I.E. Amazon Prime, Netflix, Chat GPT subscriptions, hold off buying an iPhone or electronics, etc.

If you did that and caused consumption to dip even 5% you would hurt the companies that the oligarchs run and in turn hurt Trump.

Ramp it up!

The worst crime you can commit under capitalism is not participating, not buying, not renting, etc. These tech companies are built on debt that is serviced by profits.

Moving the needle down and impacting their income by even 5% will have a huge impact on a business’s bottom line and in turn a CEO’s income, bonuses and stock options etc.

If you want to make Trump and his regime change then you have to hit the only people he will listen to… his fellow oligarchs.

Oooor you can give strangers a little grace and assume the best. As large as your family may be it’s not representative of the population at large.

*Automatically nationalized and leadership at those companies should be investigated and tried for fraud.

These CEOs need to take accountability not a golden parachute. They know when a business is failing and when they are defrauding investors and the public.

The government will not let SpaceX fail, it’s a strategic asset and Musk knows this. He is going to tie his Xai to it and saddle it with all the debt it is incurring. When the AI bubble pops he will be able to ask for bail outs to keep SpaceX afloat.

When I see small kids throwing fits or acting out in public, I don’t judge the parents and try my best to smile reassuringly at them. You can be a great parent but sometimes even good kids act out and have tantrums in public when they are tired or over stimulated.

I’ve heard that special forces practice aiming for the pelvis as many of the U.S.A.’s adversaries use body armor.

The goal is to dump rounds into the pelvic bone until it breaks. Which will incapacitate their opponents and cause them to bleed out very carefully.

Did you know you are legally allowed to buy “green tip” 223 ammo. It’s the same ammo the military uses and can penetrate up to Level IV body armor.

Been stacking up on green tip.

That’s awful! Where could you find a copy of said manual… I just want to know because there are sooo many out there and I want to avoid it specifically.

Which means exactly what?

3. The USA as a global superpower, is morphing into something decidedly more sinister.

Nintendo is a Japanese company…

I mean this isn’t a conspiracy. I don’t think the federal government as bad as it is has a program in place to steal antlers from private land.

This is probably some pilot or lieutenant who wanted some antlers that he saw while flying over the wilderness and set down to grab them.

If I were the rancher who owned the land and it was a one off thing I’d probably think it was funny. If they did it all the time I’d probably have a different opinion.

It’s still kind of a free country. If you don’t want to own the tools needed to ensure your own liberty… well that is your decision.

Just don’t expect anyone who is armed on the left or the right to defend you.

TL;DR;

Your reply doesn’t make sense because it seems you didn’t understand what was said. (intentionally or unintentionally)

You don’t seem to understand a lot of my reply, let’s see if we can clear some stuff

Nobody mentioned fascists or requiring anyone to advocate for anyone else’s rights.

The post was complaining about the 2nd amendment folks not getting upset that ICE was treading on people’s rights… Why would they? Why would you expect any other group to defend your rights.

I’m not sure how this relates to either the original message you responded to, or your reply to it.

You don’t seem to understand what satire is. Either the original poster was truly upset the 2nd amendment folks were not defending other people’s rights. Or he was trying to make a satirical point outlining that 2nd Amendment people had no intention of defending people’s rights and just wanted guns. I think given the context it is the latter. Satire is great when trying to convince others that the other party is wrong I.E. Gun rights advocates were possibly lying

I will say however that a basic level of reading comprehension and good faith (the latter more than the former) would be required before i personally cared about someone’s opinion of me, laughter included.

… Ok

As we’ve established above, this is also unrelated.

I’m simply pointing out that when there is need on the left to defend yourselves with firearms you’ve undermined your case. Look up videos with armed protesters or what the Black Panthers are doing to repel ICE. The police and ICE are a lot less willing to deploy excessive force or even to engage with armed individuals.

Also, “anybody who doesn’t agree with me is a lefty” is a weak foundation for both conversation and understanding.

I literally quoted Carl Marx what makes you think I’m not on the left? Go left enough and guns are back on the table.

Pretty easy to do when the other side doesn’t have guns… 🤔

At least you know your place.
