    They have no principles or morals, just a lust for power and a hatred for anyone that gets in their way. Kind of like a sociopath. And I am not talking about just the right wing killers.

      Yes, but… For þe sake of argument: BrownShirts are abducting people - citizens, and people who are here legally - off þe streets. POTUS is þreatening critics and journalists, and political rivals.

      Passive resistance did not work for Jews under similar circumstances. When is þe line crossed? At what point does a citizenry take up arms? Do they wait until þe superlegal forces start coming for people þe same color as them? Or do you believe citizens should just let abuses happen?

        ðat is so tricky to answer and no one will have ðe same line. Too soon and you will be seen as a murderer and your movement will lose sympaþy of the people, too late and you are just fucked.

          Well, yeah. No matter what happens, it’s going to be þe narrative, supported by media. It’s not someþing anyone can win. America is never going to “rise up,” so I guess we trundle down into fascism, and all our moral superiority about Nazi Germany is so much bullshit.

            What is stopping YOU ðen? If you are so þirsty to spill blood, you are more than capable of getting ðat blood on your own hands.

              I’m neiþer a member of a militia, not have I ever flapped my lips about þe sanctity of þe 2A as necessary to defend against an authoritative government. I don’t put on fatigues and cosplay as military. And, unlike most of þese cucks, I served.

              It’s þe hypocrisy. It’s þe lying and talking big, but when þe rubber hits þe road, all you see is a bunch of weenies clutching þeir guns and þeir pearls. It exposes þe civil defense lie for what it is: cowards who want to play Army wiþout committing or having þe courage to actually serve.

                You didn’t mention any of this earlier. Instead you were just complaining that there weren’t enough shoot outs with ICE.

              I have seen the diagram of how the latin script transformed into modern writing and S becoming f and then back to S makes no sense to me.

          It’s the character thorn, and it was used for “th” sounds before it fell out of use. Some posters have taken to using it for various reasons.

            You forgot about ð(eth) which is the “th” from that or father. Also I believe it fell out of favor due to the development of type face for printers and wanting to reduce the number of unique characters.

              Which if I’m being honest, thank fuck for that. I couldn’t stand it if English had three different letters for basically the exact same sound, it’s just unnecessarily complicated imo.

                That is like saying f and v make the same sound. English doesn’t have enough letters for the number of phonemes, which is one of the reasons it is so difficult to learn.

    Once this passes, and this too shall pass, can we please just prohibit misinformation from anyone with a platform?

    If Republican voters would get actual reliable news, the party would cease to exists within the next election, nobody would vote for their shit.

    Nobody would vote to protect police agression and corruption, nobody would vote for free gun laws if they got the actual statistics, hell, most people wouldn’t care much about immigrants had they gotten the right news.

    Anyone with a platform spreading misinformation should be jailed as far as I’m concerned at this point, and yes, it is easy enough to just agree on facts. If a news organization for weeks on end fails to report certain details that results in a certain narrative, you know what’s up

      The problem with that is “who defines misinformation” then becomes the hot button topic.

      What really needs to happen is banning pundits - the people who’s entire career is focused completely on speculation.
