If you ask dumb questions, you’ll get dumb answers.

In five years, I’ll still be fixing someone else’s problem. Maybe yours, maybe somewhere in the delta quadrant. Who knows.

^{I swear I’m going to put all of you in the pattern buffer…}

Better than writing pithy comments from the comfort of your armchair.

Please do inform us of all the successful actions you have taken in fighting fascism? Since clearly you’re so well versed.

At the end of the day, how are you going to say “no” to a cop with an assault rifle?

With 50 of your friends, also with rifles, also having trained and drilled. Preferably with plenty of higher calibers than 556/223.

Other than that… Good luck getting even the slightest hesitation when they go to bash the stock into your skull and stand on your neck.

Clearly you’ve never met someone like my wife.

Well, if you’re ever in Ohio, you’ve got at least one extra member, and there might be a certain aquatic horse nearby that could lend support.

I don’t think the three of us can accomplish much by force though…

I’ve got a wheelbarrow though.

Damn, if they got “dragged” I would love to be “dragged” into owning a 50 acre woodland area with a small stream, a clearing for expanding my food garden, and maybe have a few free range chickens with a small but over-engineered house…

I didn’t know you could be dragged while leading the charge…

“Reason: advocating violence”

I see no advocation for violence, just the truth about people who need to be removed from power.

And I absolutely LOVE the implied “you can complain about all violence toward you but don’t you DARE even suggest doing the same thing that’s being done to you”

Yes masters, we should all die quietly.

This is posted on (dot) world, which is basically reddit but slightly left of center.

In other words, mods will remove anything that maybe might be construed in a way that messes with the status quo of the rich and polititicians stomping their boot down on those they deem below them.

Whether mods agree with my phrasing or not, that’s what’s happening. I’m sure they’d prefer to frame it as “making sure our community doesn’t get taken down by The Man”

somewhere, a criminal: Oh man, you mean all I have to do is take my license plate off, dress like a tacticool office worker, put on a mask and I’m just allowed to kidnap people??? SCORE!!!

Unless you have knowledge and possibly evidence that politicians, world leaders, movie stars, and pretty much every ceo is into children and human trafficking as long as it’s on a private island.

Then you might just experience the craziest set of coincidences!

OK, boomer

Well yeah, if you’re trapped in one of our many prisons, you get to look forward to slave labor! Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.

The moment I heard someone say “we cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons” I immediately thought of the Back to the Future scene where Marty goes “Hey I’ve seen this one before!”

Evolution (2001) is an objectively bad movie.

It is also one of my all time favorites because it’s fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Schindler’s List is an objectively good movie. It is decidedly not fun.

I wouldn’t know.

I’ve never used them.

I’ve never even seen them.

As an American, seconded.

I’m trapped here, don’t YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

Yes, I have, and the first time was by accident because I figured “it’s metal, metal is hard to break”

After reading some of this thread, I have decided if someone wants to gift me cast iron and it’s bad, from now on I’m gonna use some of my metalworking tools to engrave a pattern into it.

A big NOT FOR FOOD engraved on the back would be a good addition just in case someone decides it’s decorational engraving and still usable. Maybe even a little periodic table square for lead engraved on it somewhere as well.

The “I’m doing the thing you’re doing but throwing it back at you” and “thanks or whatever” definitely is.

I’m cool with people snitching on someone pouring greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
