What disgusting cope. Don’t you have any self-respect?

Just because you can work around the abuse doesn’t mean they aren’t abusing you.

Edit: people like the commenter above are actively making the world worse by normalizing and even excusing abusive corporate practices. I apologize for nothing!

But also, “militia” was and is defined to mean roughly “every able-bodied adult male.” It was very clearly about preserving the ability for the citizenry to assemble to defend themselves militarily. (That’s specifically in contrast to having a standing professional army, which is supposed to be unconstitutional BTW.)

The second amendment is meant to protect the public’s ability, not “right,” to overthrow a tyrannical government by protecting their legal right to maintain the tools to do so. That’s because once such a rebellion actually starts, “legal rights” become irrelevant since the validity of the state itself is being challenged.

So no, you can’t use the 2nd Amendment as a defense in the incumbent government’s courts. You can only use it to win, replacing the government and not having to face a trial at all.

(Also, to be clear, the 2nd is definitely about rebelling against tyranny, not hunting or self-defense against crime or whatever else the liberals try to twist it as – remember, it was written by folks who had literally just finished doing the same.)

There have been a few others, but we don’t remember them because they failed.

That’s the pettiest shit I’ve ever read.

Let me guess, you’re a “business man”?

Bullies need to be fucking punched in the face, the sooner the better. Trying to be cautious and not overreact only encourages them to escalate.

There is no such thing as “too early” when retaliating against a bully.

“Get your car out of the bike lane” gets 'em real mad every time.

Putin could have his troops pack up and fucking leave any time he wants.

Making it easier for both parents to work isn’t as good as fixing the economics such that one parent could better afford to stay home (e.g. with UBI), but it’s a Hell of a lot better than fuck-all a liberal would’ve done.

Death sentence seems quite called for in a country that uses it regularly.

Or even one that doesn’t. If any crime deserves to be a capital offense, it’s shit like this.

Russia can’t beat Ukraine’s military so it attacks its people.

Don’t worry, once the AMOC collapses Europe will get a rude reminder of what real winter is like.

At this point we don’t even need to spend billions subsidizing green energy; it’s already cheaper than fossil fuels on the free market. We’re now subsidizing bad shit out of sheer hate and suicidal contrarianism for contrarianism’s sake.

(And blatant corruption and graft. That’s a big reason for the otherwise literally clinically insane fossil fuel subsidies, too.)

Temporarily? Boooooo.

Could it be that marketing is an inherently pro-capitalism line of work and its practitioners are unlikely to be altruistic enough to volunteer, especially for something like Free Software?

despite the nuance both systems at their heart are aspects of the US government.

Sure, just like how France’s government is an aspect of the EU’s government.

The oil execs are saying it’s “uninvestable” precisely because they know how incompetent Trump is.

Note that the world’s top 1% is 83 million people, which includes way more than 1% of the population of places like the US and western Europe.

If you’re a “middle class” homeowner in a high cost-of-living area, you’re part of this statistic.
