There's not actually a double standard at play here.
Lefties have identified a set of groups that they blame for all of society's ills. They're following the thought process that to remove these groups would be to remove all of society's ills.
Just think of the other applications that this technology can be used for by using humanity as a giant guinea pig group — such as life extending therapeutics.
Was that not also quite similar to the idea behind eugenics?
And know so little about the firearms they carry that the leader went on video explaining how simply jarring an AR-15 with the bolt held open can lead to an ND.
Unless your AR is a Sten, this is not in fact possible.
Yeah. For what it's worth, given that we know at least one of the antifa guys rocked up with a handgun, I can't see any reason why you would expect anybody else there to go unarmed.
When the least stable people in the room are armed, everybody else better be.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger argued that Black is an expert in the use of force by police, not civilians. Binger also questioned whether Rittenhouse would have been justified in using lethal force if he wasn't armed with a gun.
So where's the ADA going with that? Rittenhouse was armed, apparently legally ... so isn't the question entirely irrelevant? What would need to happen to make that a relevant question?
If we take all guns off everybody then antifa will only have the option of beating people to death?
It really is truly alarming how fast they are coming for the kids. Anybody's kids. They're openly importing kids over the border by the thousands..
It speaks to a longer-term plan to operate in a fashion that the older generations will find unconscionable.
A couple of weeks ago I talked about Biden being the representative of a group of - I'm presuming, it's not like these guys advertise - globalists who have sought to roll back democracy - I presume it's regarded as inefficient - since the 1970s. There's been fifty years of work attempting to find some rhetoric that will terrify people into giving up their civil liberties, and, well, with Covid there's been some success at last. I doubt it's some super villain conspiracy, just some well-motivated and well-resourced people who happen to have broadly similar ideas and no compunctions leveraging whatever corruption they can find in our democratic processes.
Now, I suspect, will come the attempt to fortify this, to remove older generations who remember being able to make a difference from the public discourse, before the pendulum swings back and the public asserts the power that the government are mere stewards of. I had thought this would come in the shape of using technology to control conversations and exclude undesirables but I guess I'm not as despicable enough to predict whomever's behind this because I missed simply seizing the kids.
Because it's your side against their side. The only thing that trans activists and others like them respect is power, in this case the power to say that something they do, when done by people they don't agree with, is bad an heinous and should be banned.
I'm not even American, so make of it what you will, but I don't see CA stopping until it destroys it's own economy.
The problem being, CA's economy is big enough that it might take the rest of the US with it.
That aside, I think the Newsom thing has made it quite clear that unless you're a DNC ideologue die-hard, CA simply is not your state any more. Sure, they'll take your tax money, but apart from handing the money over, your role is to shut up and do as you're told. If that's not the life for you, probably best to leave if the family thing isn't a dealbreaker.
"And so Frodo returned the Ring, once seized in a brazen act of colonialism, to it's rightful owner, Sauron, having agreed with his Southron allies to destroy the biggest threat to diversity, equity and inclusion in Middle-Earth - the hated Men of the West!"
I wonder if it's purely and simply a move to remove the US middle class. The inflation they're leaning into will do a good job of that, but the money they're printing should keep working class people content for a while longer.
In the long run, though, that looks an awful lot like re-establishing some form of feudalism - the middle class was what let working-class types move up, take that out and the two never meet.
