It makes you stupid fat, yo

Every single institution has the potential to become a self-interested technocracy with no oversight. And I agree that unions in the US have a history of being co-opted by bad actors. It’s interesting you highlight the usefulness of unions dying out about 100 years ago. That timeline lines up uncannily well with both…

It’s tougher than you imagine, and I have no problems with people who eat what they hunt. I was brought up that way. I also say that anyone that hunts for trophies is a dick, and anyone that hunts endangered animals is an ass.

Nick will be fine, He has plenty of investments, including part ownership in the Birmingham Mercedes dealership, to keep his pockets lined for years.

Although I don’t agree with you 100%, I want to thank you for an intelligent counter-point. So often these days you see people sounding off with someone they don’t agree with that descends into name-calling and accusations of “Snowflake/Libtard etc etc”. Intelligent and respectable debate is a lost art.

“I’m not blaming the “gun”. I’m blaming the culture that the gun brings.”

Until you address the elephant in the room, the police are not your problem.

These numbers mean literally NOTHING.

This is a branding issue, as silly as that sounds.

Police aren’t immoral. They are a necessary evil. Hobbes defined the state as that which holds a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence in a given area. The police is the primary way through which the state exerts violence on it’s people.

I mean, we all know this is has the potential to be a massive shit storm.

If College Football is cancelled, the hell that was unleashed on America when Corona hit is going to pale in comparison to the shit that’s gonna jump off when Pickup Dan can’t slam down some Jack Daniels and Cokes while screaming ROOOOOOOLLLLLLLL TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDEEEEEEE every time ‘Bama scores at TD at the ol…

My slightly different (although still aligned) perspective... If Trump has lost even the lead warhawks who got us into Iraq, who is still remaining in his camp? People who think we didn’t go far enough in the Bush-Cheney Wars?

No, I offered my perspective. Don’t try to start a fight where there doesn’t need to be one.

If you have some constructive criticism, I’m all ears.   If you want to project your racial insecurities on me for offering suggestions on how to better recruit allies, then GTFO.

The police kill white people at a rate nearly 2x the rate of black people.

HA-HA-HA finally...I get it. Yes all lives matter. Each color of life matters. Every innocent life matters, especially in the face of oppression. Also, one senseless killing of one COLOR (George Floyd) should not outweigh a senseless killing of another color (say Tessa Majors). You can debate which is worse: a cop…

I don’t disagree with you, but I think you’ll have an easier time finding allies if you don’t expect all of them to always want to fight.

Even for people who are personally affected by an injustice, not all of them are fighters. Some people are naturally passive. Some people are better at providing support. Some people…

Do you think the Civil War (deadliest in US history) was justified? Not excusing George Floyd murder, that was clearly out of line. But you have almost 1M cops is the US. they were not hired by accident. They were hired by crime rate. Chicago announced hiring 1000 more cops last year. They didn’t do this as a job…

there is no reason for police to kill ANY unarmed men or women. Race has nothing to do with it. Can you live with that? And at what “rate” are police killing black people quote your sources. Look at the convictions of violent crime, assault against an officer, etc. Fry the officers. Its clear the officer killed…

the black deaths at the hands of police are countless. Numerous different sources are keeping count. The vast majority include armed suspects that had committed serious felony crimes. The flippant way you say “countless black deaths” is highlighting an issue. So many people, including celebrities, are saying “i am…
