I’ve never seen a video of a cop shooting a protester while another protester is in the area with a rifle…

Can you show me a single example of me being wrong?

Because it’s logically impossible for anyone to prove the opposite, I’d have to show you ever video of American law enforcement shooting someone…

Preventive maintenance is always better than repairs…

If there’s a group of 100 protestors and 10 of them have rifles and plate carriers, all of a sudden de-escalation can become a common goal.

If the same side is always the only one with guns, and they face no legal consequences from escalating to violence…

They’re gonna keep doing it.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but there’s a reason ICE isn’t going after actual cartels and drug smugglers. They’re picking the easiest targets, so now is the time for everyone to stop being an easy target while we’re still legally allowed to buy this shit. Being visible armed is the only way to make cops want to de-escalate. If not, they’re trained to “press the advantage” and keep you panicked, which doesn’t work at all, but makes them feel tough.

Eventually Trump’s gonna stop letting people buy guns, if you think an armed populace will ever be necessary, now’s the time to get a kit together.

They’re going to schools because it’s a safe assumption no one has a gun.

They want easy victims, and too many people still don’t understand what the phrase “stay dangerous” ever meant.

The lesson is they’ll escalate to violence against any random unarmed person that happens to be near them…

They haven’t done this to anyone who was visibly armed tho, and I’ll be shocked if they ever do.

1. Humans

2. Understanding what modern “ai” is

They need to start deploying police to where ICE is. And detaining them.

The time for half measures is over, arrest every ICE agent and charge them with criminal conspiracy to violate the rights of citizens. Charge everyone as an accessory to murder if they don’t testify against the organization.

Otherwise it’s death from a thousand cuts as trump just continually crosses each new line.

I doubt any state has the balls, so if you can’t trust the feds to protect you, you cant trust state/local cops, why the fuck aren’t you carrying your own gun by now?

I’ve never seen a cop pull shit like this when the protestors have guns. They only make unarmed people panic then escalate to violence, if even a few people in the crowd are visibly armed, suddenly both sides are interested in de-escalation.

Why the fuck would you include their bullshit narrative with her picture?

One yelling at her to stay…

One yelling at her to drive away…

And one jumping out of a car and running up and grabbing her door handle.

Anyone would freak out in that scenario. An as long as ICE feel like they’re the only ones with guns, they’re keep doing this.

If they think citizens are armed, they won’t be so quick to do things to make us panic.

It all starts with a little bill call the Telecommunications act of 1996…

And yeah, loads of people said it would lead to this shit.

But Silicon valley gave a shit ton of money to the Clinton’s for the Internet part, and telecoms for the part doing away with monopoly regulations.

It’s because we’re just pattern recognition machines and a false positive is better than a false negative.

So if an act might result in a positive or avoid a negative, it’s safer to just do it anyways. Giving people who get neurotic about it enough of an evolutionary advantage that it’s still relatively normal human variation.

Maybe the environment changes to where that OCD behavior is really advantageous, then the rabbit rabbits will inherit the earth.

The solution is simple: Everyone everywhere needs to classify Xitter as a porn site

I think a large part of it’s popularity has become the porn, because it passes all those filters. Especially since Musk backed conservatives are blocking porn in red states, but as far as I know, never twitter.

Treat it like a porn site and lots of Republicans need to give up their ID to show they’re old enough. They can’t VPN around it because social media hates VPN

Maybe you need

I don’t need to do shit, if I had to explain myself to everyone who couldn’t understand what I mean, that’s all I’d ever do

If you had asked me politely to clarify, I almost definitely would have. But not like this

But that doesn’t leave many options for the victims. Maddie, who said she’s a 23-year-old pre-med student, woke up on New Year’s Day to an image that horrified her. On X, she had previously published a picture of herself with her boyfriend at a local bar, which two strangers altered using Grok.

I’ve thought a lot of things would kill twitter…

But if every time a woman posts a picture of herself, and neckbeards reply asking twitter AI to sexualize her, and the AI responds right there with it where everyone following the original account can see…

I truly don’t understand how or why any women are still using it.

Still, on the long list of shit we need to fix with America, fixing the patent system is a big one.

Large corps buy them like lotto tickets and try to patent anything and everything they can.

Look how long WB has sat on the Nemisis system because they got a patent a decade ago on it. It wasn’t really a unique idea, but thousands of games have been prevented from doing anything similar.

Nope.

If they’re going to do it to someone, it might as well be one of the people who let this happen thru inaction and refuses to fight back.

It would be much worse if he was going after people actually trying to fight back.

The NRA used to argue against CCW and AR ownership, shit, even the inventer Euegen Stoner never understood why a random civilian would want one…

It changed in the 70s when essentially a coup backed by lobbyists from gun manufacters happened. That’s when it went from a hunting/conservation club to the rapid “pry it from my cold dead hands” modern NRA.

In 2026 there’s a very good reason for CCW and AR ownership, but if we fix society so we’re not under threat of fascists, that changes.

I’m kind of alright with this…

Pelosi is a piece of shit and a huge problem not just for the country but the Dem party.

Being the first people to go down to show everyone else how undeniably serious this shit is, is pretty much the only way old guard neolibs are gonna be useful.

They won’t fight, and they block people who would from holding their positions. So there’s no benefit from them staying in office.

Maybe Pelosi being run thru a kangaroo court will make the rest of them finally realize how serious this shit is. Even if they still won’t fight, they might resign and flee the country, again opening up their positions to people willing to fight.

Yeah, but if we’re making a Venn diagram of that and trumpets, we end up with a circle…

You maybe read of a few disappointed voters, but most people are still 100% maga.

Weird to remind people of this, but real life still exists bro…

And wherever you’re reading about what they think, I bet a billionaire owns it.

Why do you only find out about them thru billionaires?

You do realize the billionaires don’t give a fuck about either group, and have been putting us against each other for generations and doing everything possible to segregate us?

Like, these all feel like very basic questions, and I’m probably coming off condescendingly, but there’s some very important things we need to clear up here, and it seems like we need to start at a basic level.

Hopefully the empire falls before that happens.

If you knew what that meant and the damage (long and short term) it would cause for the entire planet you wouldn’t be saying that.

The Balkinazition of America would lead to WW3, except people probably wouldn’t live that long to call it that.

Just look at the shit show govenors we have in the states with our ICBM sites.

You think the dude that body slammed a reporter during his campaign is above pointing the nukes in his state at his neighbor and demanding they surrender terrorist?

You think Texas won’t try to take over Mexico with what they have of the remaining US military?

You think Russia wouldn’t immediately invade Alaska?

You think we’ll be able to keep food in stores and Americans will be able to afford enough to live?

America collapsing wouldn’t be good for anyone.

If half your cabin burns down during winter 100s of miles from the nearest human, you don’t burn the rest down. You patch it up as best you can until you either rebuild it or have a new one to move into. That’s what we need to do when it’s beyond saving, try to make it last long enough that we have something to pivot to besides “Mad Max 15: this time with more guns!”
