I wasn’t commenting my opinion at all, actually

I think that is what they are saying. People would rather eat insects, which are animals, rather than just go vegan

Standing upright simultaneously exposes more skin surface area to the flow of air, while minimizing the skin’s exposure to direct sunlight.

It is like vegan hate. For every vegan that aggressively pushes their ethics on others, there are like 1000 people who want nothing more than to do something to offend vegans.

Seeing a sound

RFK “wrote” a book. he spends a whole section of the book talking about his doubts about germ theory. Like… motherfucker, we can SEE germs, literally fucking watch them do their thing. JFC.

The “Hey, I am not insane, germs are real, and shit” campaign

Yes, unlike a lot of people I believe in damage mitigation, while working on things more at the local level, because the foundation is where change can be made. Harris was a shit choice, but it was the less damaging of the two. I now worry about myself, and numerous friends, as this administration seems to have made it its mission to kill us.

I have been active in protests, counter culture, etc full tilt since the start of Bush 2. I am no longer able to be so physically aggressive as I once was, for medical reasons. However, I am prepared, at least as much as I can reasonably be, in the case of making decisions with lead. My interest in cooking has actually allowed me to connect with the local Palestinian population, as a Palestinian owned grocery is one of the few local sources for middle eastern stuff. So I have listened to their issues, and gotten involved in stuff they are doing in the face of the genocide.

I could go on, and on, as I am getting some years on me. However, I see A LOT of keyboard warrior bullshit. I see so many calls for violence, and accusations that if you aren’t instigating revolutionary violence, you are responsible. Then I comb through their post history, and, well, it provides a lot of evidence of being all talk. Violence has been something that has affected my life in a profound way. I really, really, doubt most of these people calling for the blood of the enemies, could actually handle killing their neighbors who may be ardent supporters of this fascist clown show. Like, I really do not think most people doing this actually know what doing something that crass is like, and I believe that if it came down to it most of these people wouldn’t be able to do it.

If the midterm election is suspended with some sort of executive order, or they clearly rigged the vote, or did something to postpone it, well, as they say, soap box, ballot box, ammo box. I really, truly, deeply, hope we can break the GOP’s grasp if the midterm elections are allowed to happen legitimately. If that is the case, the US has suffered permanent damage, but there is a chance to course correct. Collective labor movements are the most popular they have been in nearly a century, along with a few other positive motions, if we can manage to elect one of our more progressive party members, maybe they can harness this momentum, and do something positive.

If not, well, a complete civil deadlock means we move beyond civil methodology. I do not want this. However, as I said, I, and a lot of people I care about, have to worry about being put in a position, if they actually achieve the cuts, and legal changes, they are pushing, where they will restructure in a way that may literally mean the death of me, and people I care about, or being put in cages, swept off to foreign prison camps, and the like.

I apologize for attacking you. I am just really, really, fed up with shit.

At least anon can identify that his impulse is bad

And you have no idea what I have done. Ohh, you went to a protest that the cops intervened on, I was doing that 25 years ago.

I know that, now throw the first stone, go ahead, do it

You voted, so you excuse yourself from the violence you demand of others, I get it. I just see a lot of people saying if you don’t do x,y, and z violent thing to stop american fascism you are the problem, coming from people who have likely never been in a fight.

How many trumpers have you hit with a brick?

The republicans don’t actually believe in anything. Anything they say needs to happen, or not happen, due to some concern for an idea, or moral, philosophy, etc. is just them pulling shit out of their ass as a reason to have something that sounds better than “because I said so!”

They def meant they are well trained in violence

If nothing physically stops them from doing what they say they can do, then they can do it, and the constitution is meaningless. This is what is happening, they are proving the constitution is meaningless.

Too many resources. Just put the motherfuckers on a boat, take it to the most remote part of the pacific, and strand it there.

I have no idea honestly

You can have criminal records sealed, depending on what it is, etc.

There was one set-up by the NAACP, however the family has turned it down. They are actually pursuing charges as the woman followed their 5 year old while yelling slurs at him, and he is autistic. She claims he stole her diaper bag, however other witnesses have said this wasn’t true, he began playing with toys that were out, and, apparently owned by her, which prompted her to do this. Following the kid, while doing this likely makes this harassment. In this particular case harassment of a 5 year old, special needs kid, and because of the slurs, a hate crime enhancer to the penalties. So she could actually be in serious legal trouble. The family said they would much rather pursue criminal charges. Also, the man who recorded, and outed, her was charged with some sort of sexual crime, i think, involving a minor. The case however was dropped in a manner that means that the case was so bad it wasn’t even worth the time to consider it. So he didn’t do it. He is also being harassed, and this may turn into a civil lawsuit based on things the lady said online that may cross into incitement.

However, there is an NAACP fundraiser they do support, that will go to legal costs, instead of their general income.
