Yeah, you might need to read some of the journals from the soldiers and maybe remember they evolved into the Klansmen now sitting in office. Not saying the articulated, states-rights reasons. I’m talking on the personal level of those who volunteered to fight for the South. Back then, hate for the left (the abolitionists back then) was being peddled to them through things like religion or newspapers (though maybe not as far reaching as like with Twitter) just as it is today, and some joined up to murder the abolitionists.

For this?

They want a civil war thinking that they can kill half of us and still have a functioning country.

No. We had one back in 1861, and they thought the same thing then too.

Right, I was trying to get around the paywall.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a Pretti Good idea/start. But, there needs to be more, like a definded list of demands. Otherwise, it’s just an ignorable protest.

When someone requests an attorney, all questioning stops dead. If they continue on, it becomes fruit of the poisonous tree.

A general strike is much longer.

Yeah, not going to be effective. Make it a week, and you might turn some heads a tad.

Not for the cultists. Their divine leader will fix things for them . . . any second now . . …

Fair point in the long run, but Rome had cycles of ascendance, stagnation, decline, and rebirth. The Roman republic founded by Romulus and Remus was vastly different from the Rome that fought Carthage, which was vastly different from the Rome that unified with Egypt via marrying Cleopatra VII, which was vastly different from Constantine’s Rome.

Nope. Your math is wrong. 6 people uninstalling would be a 50% increase from the 4 since 2 (the extra people uninstalling) is 50% of 4. For a 150% INCREASE you’d need 10 to uninstall (4 for the origional, 4 more for the extra 100%, and 2 on top of that for the extra 50%).

Miller better meets that personification. Thiel is more of a Bielzabub.

I’d rather see a Jessie Owens repeat.

Unc? Could you clarify for the kids in the back?

try to remember that blind cynicism is no more rational or realistic than blind optimism.

A cynic preps for the worst even if a part of them hopes for the best. The cynical hopeful is never disappointed.

Improved medals when they wear a red hat

Yes it is.
