Vigilantism is on the rise regardless, Either because the police are incompetent / carefree about the complaints. or because individuals are overzealous, dont undrestand or agree with the law, and decide to cosplay as the punisher.

Nazi Bar Argument.

If you just let a bunch of Mobsters and their blood money into the race, soon, the race will be taken over by them.

coincidentally, according to conspiracy theorists and paranoid schizophrenics… Embezzlement is the “fake” charge that The Deep state, The Man, The new world order, the lizard people, etc will always bring against the persecuted patriotic good guy.

in other words. the European and Russian far right will say the charges are fake and that its a political witch hunt.

Dear Resident, America is Under attack. We are in a state of War with the globalist menace. The FBI has determined that because you have not put up a US flag in your domicile, Taken a picture of your Ballot confirming you voted for our president, donated to an approved organization on the President’s approved list, or purchased a vehicle or other asset in excess of $50,000 USD from an approved vendor such as Tesla, That you may be a seditionist, and will be placed in custody upon further investigation.

Its not just America.

There’s an entire transnational criminal syndicate thats posing as, or otherwise taken control of multiple state governments. And America isn’t the only Nuclear Arsenal they’re in control of.

On paper yes, but the reality is that the rest of NATO will likely not react when faced with the prospect of having to fight America. Remember that There are 3-5 more countries with more nuclear weapons than the British and French. USA, Russia, China, and possibly India/Pakistan. … MAGA is playing footsies with Russia, NATO cant survive a war against Russia backed up by a hostile America. They’d call it a day and resign “leave europe alone or we’ll launch the nukes”. everyone outside of continental europe will be fucked, that means greenland, canada, mexico, etc.

any “war” would be clandestine. Conventionally, NATO sans US would be able to handle Russia, but US and Russia both attacking NATO, NATO loses that scenario 10 out of 10. Right now, NATO is fucked if push comes to shove.

While its been largely spent, Russia is in a war economy mode. they’ve already pulled the trigger and crossed the bridge on the whole “Sending hundreds of thousands to their deaths” step.

America has a huge arsenal of ammunition , weapon systems, and logistics ready for war on short notice.

NATO has neither of those things. They waited until Russia was already fully mobilized for war, and sat on their hands hoping Trump wasn’t going to be the sociopath that he is, They waited this long to finally start making preparations for the possibility of full scale war. In short, they are several steps behind and if the game starts for real, they are at an extreme disadvantage,

good thing the police have been militarizing for decades.

Monroe doctrine saber rattling against Europe intensifies

Anyone who’s vaguely anti russian is construed as being a bedfellow of banderite. Friend of fascists or just a straight up nazi.

They would have been in Ukraine years ago. The time for that has come and gone. Ukraine is now one of many theatres of the fascist campaign now.

might want to tell the tankies that too. since most of them seem to always want to play devils advocate for the former communist - now capitalist mafia state.

They are tankies.

tankies are generally people who believe in marxist-leninist, or some other form of socialist beliefs. on its own, it isnt a problem

but these people are also intrinsically gullible consumers and advocates of Russian propaganda, because they cant seem to understand Russia stopped being a socialist country 30-40 years ago, and its just a capitalist mafia state now. But they are programmed to associate their ideology with “The motherland”.

America bad, West bad, NATO bad, therfor, anything that opposes them must be good?

advocate for the people who will kill you without a second thought.

Thats .ml and tankies for you

I dont see any on here I would swear by.

I have taken a liking to the Pilot B2Ps, they are made of recycled water bottles, I liked them simply for the fact that they’re the one type of pen we have in abundance at the office that no one else bothers to steal for some reason.

I like the Staples TRU RED series too.

what the hell is wrong with me, a year ago I’d be obsessing over some video game or hobby and now im discussing my pen model preferences, I think I’ve crossed the proto-boomer threshold

Oh Im sorry, I thought you all quit.

My answer is going to include a short story as a pretext.

In Canada in the 90s, we used to have these commercials from an organization called “Concerned Childrens Advetisers” the commercials were about a variety of things, some being positive reinforcement about self esteem, others were more on the nose like not eating glue…

there was one important one that would come on a lot called “The North American House Hippo”. And for about 60 seconds it would tell kids about tiny hippopotamus that come out in your kitchen at night, eat crumbs of dropped food, and make beds under your fridge or in the pantry or something… At the end of the commercial, the narrator says something to the effect of “That was an interesting story, but Its not real, not everything you read in a book or see on the TV is real.” the internet wasn’t mentioned because it wasn’t widespread enough yet… but it had a simple lesson. Not everything you see in media is real.

that lesson hasn’t been transfered over to the majority of people, or more likely, most people are not responsible enough to be trusted with the internet because they dont know how to filter, they dont know how to think critically when presented with information online, and its even worse now in the age of deepfakes and AI, that even the smart ones get fooled now.

Collectively we’re dumber because people have allowed their public facebook comment section keyboard warrior persona, to take over their real lives. Who people are in person and who people are online, are two different individuals, but the online persona is the one who is in charge. When we are in public, we usually revert to our social norms, respect each other. But when you’re a keyboard warrior, your impotent rage and urge to yell the N word and other slurs is unchecked because there isnt anyone present to break your nose for saying or doing something antisocial or arrogant.

You dont want 90% of the shitheads on reddit.

They’ve been dissapearing for a long time, if they were an animal, they’d be somewhere between Endangered, and Critically Endangered…

The eye-opener now has been that Reddit has turned into corpo/authortiarian boot licking trash, and Discord is planning on going publicly traded. (Read More Corpo bootlicking trash)

Eh. We’ve just bought ourselves a decade or two of industrialized warfare and martial law by the looks of things. That will have to be survived first.

I dunno your demographic, but the pervailing sentiment is that SL was cool when people were ignorant and impressionable teens and young adults, but as we aged and grew up, it stopped being cool, and most people moved on to other things.
