Similar to Harney Peak being renamed Black Elk Peak. Though Harney wasn't a Confederate, he did massacre Native American men, women, and children. Tribal/indigenous naming is so much better.
Cool, so you would rather moralize about what will happen regardless of who wins this election than try to prevent America from becoming a theocracy. Cool cool. Enjoy the indiscriminate slaughter of all those groups you say you support. I hope you live comfortably through all the death. Have a good one.
Nice slippery slope fallacy you got there. Do you care so little about women and lgbtqia+ people that you'd willingly sacrifice their rights? Do you care so little for kids that you'd allow the department of education to be dismantled and replaced with privatized school? Do you care so little for the shred of democracy left in America that you'd willingly let us become a christofascist theocracy? Republicans and project 2025 are a threat to the very foundation of this country, and you won't vote to stop that? They'll also let Israel continue their bullshit and spread it to other countries like Iran. You're cool with that? Just so you can feel morally superior while allowing all of this other stuff to happen?
If you're not voting Democrat right now, you're an accelerationist.
This election is two choices. You either get athlete's foot or terminal cancer. If you don't choose, you get terminal cancer. If you protest because athlete's foot is still bad, you get terminal cancer. Make your choice accordingly.
Fuck dude, it's all so goddamned depressing. The only sliver of hope I have is that I can pass my knowledge to my kids and teach them better much younger. Hopefully enough people do this sort of thing that we might finally pull ourselves out of our bullshit ignorance. I know it's worth nothing, but I'm sorry all the same.
I think you're correct. We were taught about manifest destiny but not the genocide of Native Americans, and that's just one instance of the institutionalized racism we were taught was good. SO MANY PEOPLE never grew out of that or tried to be better.
I was also gifted firearms as a child. They were kept inside a locked safe that I didn't have the combination for when not being used for hunting or target shooting. As much as I enjoy guns, hunting, and shooting, I can also see that responsibility goes beyond "it's guaranteed in the constitution" or equivalent bullshit.
Drag queen story times are of the devil! ( The Christians say while attending church where someone dresses up and reads stories).
Except responsible gun owners wouldn't buy their child a gun and give them access to it whenever they please. Any firearms I may or may not possess would be locked in a safe which no one but any spouse I may hypothetically have had access to. Unfortunately I lost all my firearms in a tragic boating accident a few years back.
What I'm trying to say is that, while the government shouldn't be allowed to come check that people have their guns locked up when not in use, there should absolutely be repercussions for anyone found to not be doing so.
Because the national guard didn't do shit to me or anyone else. It was the fucking cops. Holy shit how is that all lost in this? There were issues with NG in other states, but here in MN they were overall ok. I wouldn't call them jackbooted thugs, as opposed to the riot police who were fucking TERRIBLE.
Whew, it's been awhile since someone's accused me of being pro-police or a lib. Pretty hilarious. Stay stuck in your reactionary worldview I guess.
Wisconsin is an open carry state to begin with. It's not like they were giving permission. Unless you count the online "deputizing" bullshit that got spread around. I've also never seen evidence that he was in communication with police. Is there actually evidence of that? I know there is evidence of the police purposely pushing protesters towards each other.
And that's separate from the legality of him having an AR before legally being able to buy one, or transporting it across state lines.
Oof, ya got me. Your memes cut me to the core.
I'm not saying that's not the case, but there is also a threat from people in crowds. Or was Kyle Rittenhouse a cop, too?
I literally said "you can talk about what's wrong with the law" but go off.
No, I was marching in the streets. You really can't see any other perspectives, can you?
I'm sure Mao is proud of how much your memes advance the cause.
So we should have them constantly deployed to protect us from police? Talk about hyperbole, holy shit.
