'State' thugs is a strong term. Most police departments, by statements and actions, don't give a shit about what the government wants from them, except when it coincides with their ability to brutalize citizens with impunity.

I'm a mentally ill cripple with multiple chronic illnesses and severe social anxiety. I've been in spots in my life before where government assistance of multiple kinds has been the difference between life and death. Don't give me the 'You're being dramatic' bullshit unless you've vomited blood to the point of near exsanguination, had to ration life-saving medication, had breakdowns on the side of a freeway, shattered a thigh, went quite literally without food for days for lack of means, etc etc etc etc. In all of those cases, government programs have, at least once and often multiple times, been the difference between life and death for me.

Go fuck yourself.

.... do you think that conservative positions don't impact other people?

My guy, I can rattle off at least half a dozen conservative bugaboos without which I would be quite literally dead. Don't give me the "Well, it's just their opinion!" bullshit.

I also treat racists differently because of their beliefs, as well as sexists. I guess I'm the real bigot here.

That leaves only the question of if the third one is lying, or telling the truth!

We had (literal) tons of chemical weapons during WW2 and never resorted to them.

Truth be told, chemical weapons are generally actually pretty shit. They're hard to control (which creates potential for both civilian AND friendly casualties), they don't kill or otherwise put enemies hors de combat particularly reliably, and if both sides end up using them, all that ends up with is a lot of infantry in NBC gear being miserable and not actually increasing the ability of offensives or defensives in any meaningful way.

Anyway, there's no need to store the info on how to make them because it's quite literally public knowledge for the most useful and widely used/stored chemical weapons.

Speaking as someone who is very pro-choice, that seems... not really enough to call someone a "religious cunt that shouldn’t have been shat onto the planet."

He is?

To keep in contact with someone I owe for helping me out, and for trying to trade away my old Humblebundle keys. Other than that, I've shifted my doomscrolling addiction to Kbin.

They have no legal obligation to be useful, let's put it that way.

There are cops and departments which take an active and sincere interest in community policing and social justice.... but power tends to corrupt, and the almost complete lack of obligation or oversight combined with the weird hero-worship of the right-wing means most cops and departments are not interested in anything except the perpetuation of their own power.

I have no idea what this is but I love it.

Warren v. DC: "Police have no obligation to protect people."

Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales: "Police have no obligation to enforce the law."

Heien v. North Carolina: "Police have no obligation to know the law."

If memory serves, when something shitty happens to you because of your gender, but it also affirms your gender and feels... well, affirming.

"I myself am eating from the garbage can of ideology as we speak!"

Damn, did every kid's show have to make mind control look so good?

Diogenes is truly the best philosopher of every age and region.

Me speaking in my head: [moderate accent, slightly refined tone, shortened word ends]

Me recorded: [incomprehensible and unidentifiable dialect, marbles in mouth muttering, straight up miss half of every word I speak]

Guess I'll never speak again =")

Capitalism and handouts for the rich, feudalism for the poor - that's the dream of our elites.
