indica (indicator)

You and I have a very different idea of what "indica" implies.

    Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa are two types, or strains, of the cannabis plant.

    For others, like me, who had no idea.

    Where indica simply refers to the plant’s first collection (by Lamarck) in India and sativa means cultivated in Latin. Loads of plants have some conjugation of this species name:

    Allium sativum (garlic)

    Coriandrum sativum (coriander / cilantro)

    Crocus sativus (saffron crocus)

    Cucumis sativus (cucumber)

    Eruca sativa (rocket / arugula)

    Extremism on migration, race and gender?

    Well... that's the GOP

    I wouldn't even deny that in a sense my views on "race" and gender are extremist, even if my first thought was the same.

    Like, "it doesn't matter people are individuals" is pretty much by definition on the extreme end.

    (Well there's also "it sadly did matter in the past and even if we instantly stopped all racism and sexism the results will linger so we should see what we can do to get closer to actual equality faster" but that seems like a different axis, even if to conservatives it probably seems "more extreme")

    My therapist has talked to me a lot about acceptance. I accept that it's terrifying and we should fight back.

    That's still easier to live with than accepting what happened in my previous marriage.

    We can individually contribute to resisting the regime. For LGBTQ, minorities, and people with disabilities simply surviving is active resistance.

    I can't do anything to make my ex unfuck the other dude.

    Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion,

    "traditional American views on religion" so do they mean like upholding separation of church and state, or not quite that traditional?

    It's the same contradictions all the way down the list.

    "anti-capitalism"

    So anyone who supports the government directly and arbitrarily interfering with private businesses? Like Trump is doing constantly?

    "anti-Christianity"

    So, anyone opposed to helping the poor and needy? Anyone who doesn't treat foreigners with respect and kindness? Anyone who skipped over that whole "meek shall inherit the Earth" thing?

    "support for the overthrow of the United States Government"

    So, Trump and MAGA.

    "extremism on migration"

    Also Trump and MAGA.

    "extremism on race"

    Trump and MAGA.

    "extremism on gender"

    Trump and MAGA.

    Conspiracy theory time, I think it's vague like that on purpose. It's like fucking horoscopes, written so you read what you want it to mean. It's preying on the poor reading skills of the illiterate, and half of American adults can't read at middle school level..

    If that's a conspiracy theory, I guess I'm a conspiracy theorist now. "Terrorist" as context in legal wording carries a lot of weight, and can be used to bypass due process. When everyone is legally defined as a terrorist, the powers that be can make anyone, citizen or not, disappear at any given time without any public notation. I can't imagine any legitimate reason for this to be written as law the way it is, there is no "proper" place for a law worded like this to be used outside of a dictatorship.

    To my interpretation, this isn't vague at all.

    I do love the American inclination to roll out a 250 year old piece of literature, stare down the barrel of a gun, and announce "You can't do that it's against the rules".

    The Founding Fathers were violating provisions of the Constitution practically before the ink was dry.

    But hey, maybe this is the moment when waving a big copy of the seven original commandments of Animal Farm and shouting "Four Legs are supposed to be good, actually!" will fix the problem.

    The only time that any of these rules are enforced is when the people with money hire their expensive lawyers to ensure it's enforced.

    When they break the rules against the poors, nobody has enough money to fight with their fancy pants lawyers.

    They get "justice" and we get whatever they give us.

    Nothing has changed.

    Anti Christian is just the tip of the iceberg. Per Christian doctrine your soul is destined for damnation in hell if you don't accept Christ as the only path to salvation. Why would your life matter if you're going to hell anyways?

    I can at least understand what's being said by a few of these, but do we have an official, on the books, definition for what constitutes "extremist" views, or what "traditional American values" are in this context?

    I'm guessing not, because I'm not sure they know what any of that actually looks like anymore.

    They think they do, but they keep the wording vague in their official statements because these rules are not to preserve American culture or their way of life, it's all vibe based. I don't like you so let's see which of these vague statements I can attach to you so that you get in trouble that you literally cannot afford to get out of....

    I love how vague this is. Extremism on gender is entirely up to the reader to decide the definition. To some people 2 genders is extremist and hateful, to others anything except 2 genders is extremist and also somehow hateful.

    Right, the ones in power get to define it.

    The ones in power also define all of those things as any legal or illegal attempts to remove the ones in power from power.

    They also think they're clever

    Yes, with a heavy sprinkling of debunked race science ie. white supremacy.

    Darwin, in his exposition of survival of the fittest, wrote "civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races throughout the world"

    Which was a culturally "normal" way of thinking in that part of the world at that time. Crazy that so much, and yet so little, has changed in 150 years.

    I overheard my parents and brother talking about wanting to visit Mainland China, departing from the US where we live now, seemingly not worried about the return trip back to the US and having to deal with customs, and we aren't white, also on top of that, my brother is anti-CCP, and have talked about the Taiwan issue while parent's Wechat with microphone permissions are active.

    Yes this true but I'd like to provide one example in reference to Virginia's Casual Killing act of 1669.

    This exempted slavers from facing felony charges for killing their slaves if they resisted punishment.

    The scriptural basis of this is Exodus 21:20-21

    If a man beats his slave to death—whether the slave is male or female—that man shall surely be punished. However, if the slave does not die for a couple of days, then the man shall not be punished—for the slave is his property.

    Implying that you can indeed kill your slave as long as it doesn't happen immediately.

    Now this was before the declaration of independence but drafting laws after scripture has a longstanding history in the US.

    America may not explicitly be a Christian nation, but implicitly, there are far too many that strongly believe it is.
