If you went to 1 random farmer’s house in 100 different countries, how many do you really believe would own a firearm? Give me your genuine guess, then tell me what the actual statistic is after you look it up…

Bonus question: how many of them do you think would have a magazine fed, semi-automatic carbine rifle, chambered in an anti-personnel caliber?

Exactly! And this is why no one lives in rural areas or farms anywhere else in the world!

“taking” over? 😂

I lived in the US for 10 years, and I gotta tell you; all the 2A “necessary to the security of a free state” BS I heard juxtaposed against the utterly embarrassing, and cowardly inaction I am seeing now is, disappointing to say the least…

That is a relatively common narrative, but it’s not factual.

The west most certainly did a great many things to damage and discredit the Soviet Union, but this was not among them. I’m not sure who you mean by “we”, but there is no credible evidence to support the claim that ANY foreign government had that level of intelligence on the RBMK reactor design prior to the international cleanup effort.

“…Canada’s English and French founding nations…” is a weird way to spell “genocidal colonizers”.

EA has been doing this for more than a decade already; they just weren’t promoting the ad sales pipeline publicly.

Nationalize telecom.

There is no situation where compelling a person to continue living against their will should be seen as acceptable.

Like… Is anyone going to try it first? I bet it’s 🔥

Why is anonymized clinical research data being held privately in the first place? The idea that we will let other entire civilizations suffer longer or worse, so that we can maintain an economic competitive edge is pure sociopathic insanity.

I refuse to believe that anyone using the internet to get smarter doesn’t know who Technology Connections is…

Water, fire, air and dirt; fucking magnets, how do they work?

You get ethically and sustainably raised organic chicken. Make whatever sandwich you want with that.

None of the things listed should be run by private corporations at all.

We don’t need competition and innovation in these spaces. We don’t need 35 different kinds of chicken sandwich. We don’t need “options” for gas and electric rates.

We need safe, abundant, high quality, environmentally conscious essential goods and services, delivered AT OR BELOW the cost required to produce and deliver them at scale.

Make it all public ownership.

Three-card monte has many different names too.

Humans have consistently moved the goalposts on “sentience” explicitly to ensure that we are the only living thing that fits into the category.

“The only thing that can stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun.”

And ANYTHING to do with natural resource harvesting and processing.

It still seems like letting people off the hook for media literacy is a knee jerk reaction. Since the dawn of Google, the VAST majority of people who use it have just treated the first result as gospel. I don’t know if scraping that same content and putting it in the same place with the word “Summary” above it is materially that different.

The core problem here is still individuals not taking accountability for their own education. I would actually argue that holding Google to the standard of somehow being “arbiters of truth” is even more dangerous. No one should trust any information presented to them by an entity that has vested financial interests in influencing consumer behavior.

The Dream and Magic were the beginning of an era!
