I hare the entire concept of people who live far away owning things in places they don’t live.
In Russia or abroad?
Not a contradiction at all, and it’s not even all that nuanced either.
There’s a massive difference between death as punishment for a crime versus deadly force to stop someone from killing you first.
One takes place while those involved would otherwise be in relative safety.
The other typically takes place during a tense altercation where moment to moment decisions mean life or death.
Should the farm also be responsible? Absolutely
On the condition that they disclosed the milk as raw, hard disagree.
Freedom means freedom to choose.
You can order raw or undercooked foods at a restaurant, there’s a small warning on the menu, and if you suffer any adverse affects from the decision the consequences are fully your own to bear - not the restaurant’s.
The farm shouldn’t have the responsibility of auditing peoples’ intentions with the product either. For all they know, it could have been puechased with the intent of making raw milk cheese.
Weird way of writing ‘raped’
Bit of a weird way to measure and visualize this
As far as I remember, West coast gas prices have been higher than a lot of places to the east.
If you have a $4.50 baseline on the West Coast and $3.50 somewhere in the middle, a flat $0.50 increase is going to measure as a higher percentage change in the middle compared to the west.
Alright, so now we’re spooling up the AEOC in order to freely discriminate against employing Christians
none of you are doing anything about it
Considering that there have been multiple large scale protests, efforts towards economic blackouts, major shifts in political elections, and organizations working through the legal system to combat what is going on - I’m somewhat curious to know what your version of “doing anything about it” looks like.
Tap for spoiler
It’s violence, isn’t it?
Are we going to prohibit companies from operating five days a week
The number of days an individual employee is working doesn’t necessarily dictate the number of days the business can operate.
Slop image is straight outta Wolfenstein lmao
I do concede that WWII was not fought and won by armed civilians, I was largely responding to “without guns we can’t fight fascism” and can see that, in the greater context of the thread, that might be less relevant. I do think the French Resistance would have been better equipped if they hadn’t had to rely on smuggled or captured weapons. A full scale invasion is going to pan out differently when most civilians are able to shoot back or organize into militia.
Vietnam is a testament to the fact that multiple military superpowers can still lose to a lesser armed (but still armed) populace.
And then the american fucking revolution, that I can’t even imagine how to tie in
This is where you really have me stumped and should maybe do some reading into US history, fighting this war is the foundational experience that led to the creation of the second amendment. Here’s a good place to start:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Lexington_and_Concord
US - 1765 to 1784
EU - 1939 to 1945
Vietnam - 1955 to 1975
Yes, I’m aware that only one of these cases was literal fascism.
You can see my other comment in this chain, but firearms are the “last stand” tools to fight oppression. We’re in the midst of a particularly sensitive stage and, in my opinion, haven’t crossed the “tipping point” where a violent response would be wise or justified.
At the beginning of last month, a crosspost to a lemm.ee community showed up in my feed - and it would seem that it showed up in mine alone.
I commented, but nobody else did - and nobody seems to have upvoted or downvoted the post either.
IIRC lemm.ee’s closure is older than this account.
If anyone has any insight, I’m a bit curious to know how and why this could have happened.
Otherwise, behold and regale this weird thing that happened for me!
