I'm no Wehraboo but I'd think it would stand to reason that the majority of German war equipment in general would have been destroyed or captured. Considering they fucking lost.

It's framed as "vaccine bad" even if it wasn't outright stated. Or at the very least that Da Gubment is inherently reckless, irresponsible, and clueless in handling vaccines...just like they believe with every other government function.

When one of the points on an official report is

but what about muh natural immunity, I dun need no damn shot!

You know where they're coming from. And when they've chosen "there is no such thing as a safe and effective vaccine" RFK Jr. to lead our public health, you know where they're going.

Bartering also assumes, for your example, that the apple farmer wants oranges and the orange farmer wants apples. Consider that either one may not. And then consider how many other goods exist even in primitive agrarian society that people may or may not want at any given time.

Currency is whatever the agreed vehicle is for value exchange that solves this. The apple farmer can now sell apples for silver nuggets and use the silver to buy tools from someone else later, which the orange farmer either doesn't have or is unwilling to part with. It allows for more complex transactions that then helped grow more complex societies.

Armalisation

Abortions aren't contagious, but infectious diseases are, so you have a civic responsibility to protect yourself and therefore the greater whole.

You thought you had something there, huh.

You can get surprisingly far by making people laugh.

A prior lawsuit filed over the “Trump Train” alleged the San Marcos Police Department violated the Ku Klux Klan Act by failing to send a police report after multiple 911 calls were made and a bus rider said his life was threatened. It accused officers of privately laughing and joking about the emergency calls. San Marcos settled the lawsuit in 2023 for $175,000 and a requirement that law enforcement get training on responding to political violence.

In case you were still wondering what side the police are on, and whether you could count on their help if these people came after you.

Reading the article he also said that parents should be able to cast votes on behalf of their minor children, which is much more alarming to me.

As an American I think that would all be reasonable...if the official US position was that Mexico has no right to exist, the Mexican people should be forcibly integrated into our society as 2nd class citizens, and the US Army was in the process of a "peacekeeping operation" in Mexico to carry all this out.

For all our flaws, we respect the borders of our neighbors and don't have irridentist aspirations that belong in the 19th century. Russia is the aggressor here, and they have demonstrated that they have little interest in global peace or human rights, only increasing their sphere of influence.

Continually rolling over for thugs because it's what avoids nuclear conflict will only lead to a global order based on thuggery, and it likely won't even avoid nuclear conflict in the end.

They do this literally all the time, not to normalize the idea, but to desensitize you to the accusation. That way, when they do something that is actually fascist, like calling up the Kansas National Guard under the Insurrection Act to go door-kicking in Chicago for illegal immigrants, your brain enters a thought-terminating state of "nothing-burger, both sides, etc."

Example, they liked to use the word "insurrection" a lot about anything Democrats did following J6.

He's celebrating the murder of a "liberal" dissident, which cancels out any and all positive qualities in the MAGA fascist mind.

Moreover, he wants far right murderers and those who aspire to be far right murderers to know that he has their back, "when the time is right."

The GOP is both a criminal enterprise and a seditious terrorist organization, and they intend to seize the levers of power by force very soon.

Having mingled with the gun community for some time, there are a lot of level-headed people among gun owners but there are also a worrying amount of terminally fearful people with violent ideation. Many are likely one bad life event, one half-cocked response to an uncertain situation from being a mugshot on a news story like this prick.
