I had to go to a private Christian school in third grade - not because we were religious, we were not, but because gang violence was getting serious in my town and the private school was seen as the safe option my mom decided on for a year even though we couldn’t afford it.

Again, not religious, but Christian school meant we had to go to “Chapel” every day - Sing bible songs and get the typical religious indoctrination. Anywho… In the chapel, there was a giant rectangular speaker box suspended up at the center of the ceiling. Not sure how but with all the talk of Jesus dying for your sins and everything, I became convinced that that speaker box was his coffin. I thought he was there, suspended above us, every day at Chapel in our little school

Fuck all the corpo fucks involved here with their plausible deniability attempt. If you truly felt any remorse, you’d talk about how you’ll disengage this AI chum service, or demand that requests are extremely precise or hyper targeted at specific direct issues. This story of blanket action helps the big company with monkey and always hurts the little guy that gets swept up in their ravenous wake.

Also, educate the next month of your online presence you boosting the brand you wronged with your reach. But you won’t do shit, you aren’t remorseful.

Smiling guy is a patsy they’ll try to hang for this to help other CEOs sleep peacefully on their second yachts at night after a long day of forcing 5 day a week return to office mandates for overworked employees with “leadership” emails sent remotely from Saint-Tropez.

Weird thing is, neither of these photos has the guy… they already know the man responsible for this and many other deaths, his name was Brian Thompson.

People are saying he wasn’t murdered, he just dropped to the ground alone, nobody in the street with him. There’s even video, nobody is there…

Yeah… that’s not a strength of that society. It’s a failure. It’s stepping over bodies on the street to go have a Sunday stroll in the park.

And your position is also self-apologist bullshit that helps you personally alleviate an inherent guilt you hold. You feel “accused” by nobody in particular so you state (again, to no one in particular) that “they” (you) don’t need to feel bad for being a selfish prick in this moment.

You sound like a scoundrel…

“You can drown out the screams and dance if you just hustle hard enough!”

We all see you. Isn’t enough praying in the world to make that fire in you burn out…

How to say it delicately… Many conservative/religious men really, truly want to just impale their throats on lady dick, but they are indoctrinated from birth to believe that a zombie from space (who they agree watches them shower and have sex) will be mad at them if they do what makes them happy. So to distract themselves from that always burning urge to ravenously aspirate dong nog, they performatively hate things as a hobby to pass the time until they die - profoundly alone and completely unhappy (see Lindsey Graham)

And then the conservative women are taught that they are stupid, useless furniture pieces there to look pretty and parrot - not capable of an opinion outside of the one provided by their husband or father.

Doesn’t feel like you’re paying attention

We won’t be fine, this is meaningfully different

If you want to play that game, it was likely Nixon and the southern strategy.

But neither of those were point of no return. They were just foundational groundwork to set up this moment that likely is.

Just feels life another goal post moved… He literally worked to overthrow the American government and have his VP killed on live TV and was then clinched of dozens of felonies. . There can’t always be a *“yeah, but if THIS next thing happens…”*I

What color paint? And did it have a distinct flavor?

I’m 14 and this is deep?

Hope you’re okay and this is a move to another country being discussed?

Some very profound points.

I think we were fucked once we had a window to all the world’s knowledge in our pockets. The line was immediately blurred between having access to that knowledge and the capacity to truly know and process, to possess, that knowledge.

That used to be the casual dividing line between the adults that considered politics and the people puking up shrimp and strawberry wine at the jersey shore. Now the shrimp and strawberry people count fox-scented infotainment as “news” and really just as their sports team of choice - and they line the paths to polling stations holding automatic rifles. They feel emboldened by knowledge they don’t actually possess but feel confidence in the fact that they “could look up whenever, just don’t want to right now”.

All the “Good Liars” clips are a front row seat on American democracy bleeding out.

👊

As others have stated, this is an entirely new depth to that thought.

Appreciate your measured response. I’m wondering how long it will take folks to stop coping out of self preservation and say out loud that this isn’t anything we’ve seen before - it’s brand new and can go as far as has been threatened.
