this is absolutely fucking beyond insane lol. i mean, it’s long since been that but this shit really highlights it. how can you possibly turn a blind eye to this? people will, the same people who claim to want to protect women and children. these are going to be an unforgettable 3.5 million files. i imagine discoveries will be made for years to come.

just don’t pay it at all.

we have a history of armed protests in this country and they have never escalated into confrontation. the black panthers marched armed and were left alone. i know that doesn’t mean it’ll be that way always but it is a tactic that has worked well. the problem is yes, fascists use resistance as evidence of violence and the need to control their opposition, but resistance is still the answer. nothing will do will be innocent enough to be ignored. we will never win by ceding any ground.

it shouldn’t be a random carrying event, it should be coordinated. it should be something organized within the protest.

people need to arm themselves to protect each other in the moment, not as some grand attempt at a revolution. nobody thinks Americans would win against the military through battles alone, but 200 armed citizens against 50 ICE nazis would be better odds at saving someone during a protest or demonstration or kidnapping.

we have to be willing to suffer consequences if we truly want to protect each other.

it was never going to be anything else.

this is what fascism does. it erases history it dislikes. for a group priding themselves on valuing “the truth” they accept fucking none of it. their worldview is violent and sustaining poverty and techno-oligarchial control, but you say that and you’re some commie or whatever and now nothing you believe can be accurate. very good objective analysis with zero emotion on display.

i appreciate your words, thank you.

i have been assured that the military will not fire upon civilians. let’s see.

yeah that’s not how it works lmfao even if this passes and gets signed the world doesn’t just suddenly agree to its decree. it will not make Greenland our 51st state in any real capacity other than paperwork and no enforceable action at all. …so… ok lol. also, definitely gives us more Dem reps. that’ll work out in their favor for sure. Greenland would not run Red.

The military has already told Trump to fuck off about Greenland. Let’s see.

nothing. my father is a fascist and refuses to acknowledge how homophobic and violent about it he was towards me as a teenager. he can apologize for the way he treated me but supporting Trump twice is unforgivable.

give them everything they want.

doesn’t matter why, just leave.

i don’t know when they’re irreversibly dead lol. that’s the point. we don’t know how to guarantee death has occurred. this doesn’t mean it isn’t a moment in the process, it means we can’t detect when it happens. irreversible biological death has never been reversed, period.

it is observed as irreversible. i don’t feel the need to hold off speaking in absolutes here.

we don’t know. i am not stating otherwise. something makes clinical death possible and it mimics death in a detectable sense. but the process of death reaches an irreversible point where total functionality ceases.

i completely understand. you make good points. a lot of people do confuse clinical and biological death and equate them or rather don’t bother to separate. death isn’t necessarily a precise moment but i would argue there has to be an exact point it becomes permanent. whatever that is and however it happens is the process referred to as death, and it is irreversible as we know it.

i apologize but i’m not following. a biological organism will eventually cease to exist regardless of our medical and legal terms or our abstract and subjective beliefs. we did transition from not being alive to being alive, but never being alive to not being alive. you can come into existence in a different way you go out and the processes can be different as well. non-existence isn’t death. death is the process of transitioning from existence to non-existence.

it isn’t irreversible by definition. i am stating it is irreversible. death is the cessation of all biological function and this has never been reversed in human history.

it’s possible to be in a state that is indistinguishable from “true death”

yes, and that would be… a state, not death. indistinguishable is describing our ability to detect a difference, not the mechanics being absolutely identical. they are still separate processes.

i’ll give you that on “afterlife.” i have a point to make but it might just be something that annoys me personally and not worth getting into lol.
