This guy didn’t murder anyone. He was negligent and it resulted in a man’s death, thus he was convicted of manslaughter, and rightfully so.

Damn. Sorry you went through all that.

It’s a tough one. On the one hand, without the taking clause, the government can simply take your property without compensating you. On the other hand, the commodification of everything harms marginalized people.

Speak for yourself!

Several courts have held rent control by itself is not a taking; but if there is absolutely no mechanism to allow landlords to terminate a tenancy, effectively creating lifetime guaranteed leases, some elements of rent/eviction control likely would be considered a taking.

“No war fought from now on will ever be won by ground troops”

The selective service is in place to ensure that in a World War type situation, we don’t have to count on “enough” people raising their hands. In 1945, the US armed forces was nearly 12.3 million strong. You can’t occupy the multiple countries simultaneously with an all volunteer army. Today we only have 1.2 million…

While this is something I would support, it would likely require constitutional changes. A rent freeze coupled with eviction controls would constitute a taking.

“seems like a have your cake and eat it too sort of situation. if the shittiness is part of whats suppressing the rent prices”

As someone who was on 4chan back in ‘06 and left a few years later, I can confirm it is much worse now. There were some sick fucks for sure, but it wasn’t full of fedora’d gentlemen and bronies. I migrated there from YTMND and just wanted to see NEDM/Duckroll kind of shit...

Ironically, I originally saw that image on /mu/...

Men are socialized to believe not responding to perceived slights/disrespect with violence and/or aggression is un-masculine. Men are not socially rewarded for being feminine. These fedora’d weirdos take this actual social phenomenon to an absurd extreme, when they should just simply take steps to increase their…

Piecemeal/line item gun control does not have a significant enough effect on the national homicide rate. Background checks are useful for keeping guns out of the hands of felons, but do squat to prevent things like this.

You assume that an armed insurrection would fight the US military conventionally.

It always amuses me how quick people are to propose straight up totalitarian fascism to combat relatively rare social evils/problems... I mean, this is Eugenics. Sure, it’d be great if governments were infallible benevolent AI’s or something. Maybe then we could trust them with that much power.
