You may have just saved america.

Maybe our entire society is sick in a way we can’t fix with laws? Or something?

I hope they deep fake Alex Jones and accuse the other one of being the fake.

No, no. He’s in the child trafficking van with the kkk wrap. The really gaudy one. Can’t miss it.

Honestly I don’t know how he drives it with that huge swastika obscuring the windshield.

Yes, but only because the exotic phallus and scrotum piercings he has are designed to have a hypnotic effect. Then he grabs them while they’re dazed.

People radicalized to insane culture war bullshit and irrational solipsistic oblivion cults can’t really be negotiated with.

Institutions will never fix anything.

Intense atomization and alienation keep us from creating society with one another. There’s no time to do anything complicated; most of us work too much. You just get home and youre exhausted.

So; gun.

If only we actually used them as a solution.

Look, if we had vaccine guns, I’m pretty sure the anti vax movement would switch overnight.

Edit: There would be pro-cdc paramilitary snipers on every roof. It would get tedious.

But tjose people are so important to society!

See, the very poor/destitute serve as a triple threat to discipline the working class!

As an example of what happens when you dont crush yourself into a life of being exploited

As a release valve for emergency labor-it doesn’t have to actually be viable, just believable to enough prople

And as a class they can look down on and fear, an enemy to justify the presence of and valirize the practice of policing, especially when they’re forced into close contact. It’s why out of the way camps are violently cleared, but there are tents on sidewalks in major cities.

is our food safe

Yes, as long as the water holds. I have 200 lbs of rice and veggies in every window. Should supplement me enough to survive. Might be enough to share out.

1. How? Why?

2. Do you not remember last time? And why do you think losing an election will keep a loyalist out of power?

Other ideas? Please? Its not just your life on the line here. We’re kind of all in this. Whatcha got?

Are you going to engage with my ideas, or try to discredit me by… Saying I’m getting an education?

I’m confused as to what your argument is here. My best guess is that what I said resonated with you enough to make you uncomfortable, and youre trying to discredit me so you dont have to think about it.

And I get that. I get trying to stay comfortable, I get trying to cling to what you have and what’s worked to keep it in the past, but we no longer have that luxury. Do not rely on the ‘law’ to protect you. Start looking at alternatives. I know its scary, I know its new, and I know it might require change, but its what we need to get through this. Maybe what you find will end up enriching you long term, if you survive. Change isn’t always bad.

perfect enemy of the good

And in many cases, you’re right. I think thats the mistake Lenin and Robespierre made, actually; the biggest one at least, being unable to trust anyone else with making a less autocratic world. I do not believe the founders of the united States were trying to be good. I think they were lying, and pretty comprehensively pieces of shit.

takes just one to back stab you

Does it? I think the more you create a tense society balanced on a knifes edge cognitive dissonance of its own contradictions, and the more centralized(undemocratic), the closer it gets to true, but I don’t think it ever gets all the way there.

He cannot create something from nothing. He cannot act without an equal and opposite reaction. He cannot exceed the ideal speed of unimpeded light. He cannot be smaller than the Planck length. Try as he might; it simply cannot be done.

A person has to actively to stop him from doing all the rape murder and genocide his shitty little chest void desires. Nobody has. Are you going to?

I’m saying calling both these categories ‘laws’ is misleading.

Yeah they’re not the best teachers.

Edit: also, are evil and literally want to kill me, but thats a personal nitpick.

The system is not your friend. Its goal is the preservation of power and stratification of society. Thats what it does, thats what its for.

Right now, he’s power, and stratifying admirably. The courts and their bloody enforcers belong to him, or people like him.

Always was.

Well, community and restorative, but our society still sees those as equally/more objectionable than vigilante.

Laws are not magic spells, and all the people who enforce them are his creatures.

Just because we use the same rules for our violently enforced traditions of hierarchy and the physical constants of reality does not mean they’re actually the same thing.

he can’t

Why not? He couldn’t steal an election attemot a violent coup or bankrupt a casino either.

Who’s gonna stop him?
