  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1z_xtOmgek. (Video is “Is it War?” A fake game show where a contestant has to identify if the American government classifies something as a war or not, it’s comedic but highlights my point)

    You’re using logic that is used to say Vietnam wasn’t a war, while saying it was a war…

    I could respect it’s just an opinion if it was consistent and try to explain, but it’s not consistent.

    You have one foot on both sides of a line, and even people who are doing the same thing, won’t have their balls dangling over the exact same spot.

    You gotta pick one or the other, or eventually you’ll find out everyone disagrees with you.

    That’s not a big deal if we’re talking about psychedelic blues jazz fusion.

    But we’re talking about war, a fundamental human concept, we all have to use the same definition










  • It’s not a joke, there’s a very plausible chance he’s dead, or seriously injured and not getting proper medical care.

    If he’s dead, and the people around him are hiding it, then that is a very serious crime. If he’s seriously injured and not getting proper care, that’s elder abuse.

    So when there’s a plausible chance, law enforcement can do a welfare check. They show up at the residence, and investigate.

    Like, it’s a normal thing…

    The reason I found a specific case in Kentucky like that, is to show that even just not reporting was a serious felony. The amount of bond is likely because that dude most likely killed his wife and that’s why he didn’t report her death, also that it involved him sending messages pretending to be her. With McConnell releasing public messages to his constituents, if those aren’t him it’s even more serious.





  • What I don’t get, is people keep saying how dangerous this is for women, knowing our government doesn’t give a shit about women.

    We need to get the rightwing voters pissed over these, talk about how pedos are going to be following their kids around all day with these.

    Get em to start confronting people in glasses demanding to see if theyre recording. They’ll be false positives of course, but that’s why we need to stop saying “meta glasses”.

    Oakley partners with them, call them “Oakley cameras” or something, make the pushback hurt any large brand that partners with them. People will be unwilling to buy any Oakley’s, because idiots will confront them to see if it’s a camera.

    That’s how we beat this shit, facts and logic ain’t going to work, the idiots are already being manipulated and it’s easier to manipulate them some more than explain real concerns.

    It’s not exactly a secret when the DNC chair said a year ago when Mamdani won his primary that we need more progressive charismatic candidates like him…

    Like, it’s only sneaky if you get all your news from social media or billionaire owned corporations.

    Otherwise is blatantly obvious this has been the strategy
