I remember going to the holocausts museum in Berlin about 20 years ago and maybe some of it was my German not being 100%, but they had this interactive exhibit detailing the history of the Jews and Europe and the reasons why people disliked them and thinking "Damn I can see why they weren't liked."
You see with there being two architypes of prophets in the Bible. The ones that are warning the elders & leaders, "Hey we keep treating those around us like shit they're going to get tired of it eventually and bad things will happen to us if we don't change our ways". Shortly followed by Jerusalem being sacked and the Temple burned to the ground again. Then you get the "Woe is we who are lost, but keep the faith for we shall see the promised land again" types for the next half millennium. Then they retake Jerusalem and the cycle repeats.
I have access to a CS qualification facility. I've offered people the chance to use it and see how well the paper napkin they put on their face protects against tear gas. So far no takers. When I wouldn't wear a mask and I'd get the "How dare you!" my response was:
"Oh please. I know to use a gas mask and had yearly training in Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical warfare. Hell for the better part of a decade I worked for the men who provided Saddam his biological and chemical weapons back in the 80's. So keep believing that paper napkin is going to save you because I know it won't."
Usually they have a confused look on their faces as I walk off after that...
Last weekend when we went to Home Depot for whatever easily 2/3rds of the people were unmasked. Home Depot hasn't been enforcing masks since the spring even when there was a county mask mandate. Today I go in for another strand of Christmas lights and I'm the only one without a mask in the store. Even though mask mandates got struck down in court last week.
If you scowl and use a command voice they shut the hell up. Again when they are confronted by someone who barks back they cower. They may clam up, but they typically shut the hell up. Now I spent half a decade in those parts of the world and saw it first hand. They have not. They never left the comforts of their upper middle class lives around me before. Now I understand others can't say the same.
Yeah it's called Portland. All the states are having the problem of being controlled via one or two major population centers while the rest of the state suffers their lunacy. And something is going to have to give at some point in the near future. Because you have Chicagoland and the rest of the state of Illinois. Hell in Missouri it's St. Louis & KC and Mizzou vs. the rest of the state. Colorado is Denver & Boulder vs. the rest of the state. Oregon is the same way. It's Portland and Eugene then the rest of the state.
When people ask you "What is the value of a human life" watch their face when you say, "About $800. That's what a human being cost these days at a North African slave market. An indentured servant is cheaper, about $350 in much of the Middle East. Children are less than $50."
Then after a few moments of silence add, "Don't ask questions you don't want answers too..."
If the hammer was hit hard enough on actual 1800’s production revolvers it’s conceivable that it could cause a discharge due to the metallurgy and construction practices of the time even going into the 1920’s. This is why people in the era carried on an empty cylinder. But on a modern reproduction? Yeah sure something could get by QC (see anything made by Keltec) but pretty unlikely unless it was made by Taurus.
