Elon Musk wants to interface people's brains with computers via Neuralink. He is a very evil person and attempting to engineer human destiny just like the rest of them.

That is the oldest, most tired fucking trope imaginable. I recall Cerberus attempted this with the geth in ME2 and it didn't work out too well for them.

Why is it so important to respect the Government? By the admission of multiple currently serving government officials the United States of America is a fascist and white supremacist nation.

By respecting those symbols and monuments you are defending an organization that by its own admission is racist and evil.

Who is the real bad guy here?

It’d be easy to take the crying about the unauthorized tour seriously if those crying ever cared about similar actions in the past.

I’ve never seen Obama decry leftists physically assaulting people over politics. Biden has been silent on it. Bernie when asked directly to condemn his violent supporters went on about how he shouldn’t be held responsible.

And this has been talked about for years now. The left has been asked repeatedly to care about the modern state of protests and most of the time they mocked those concerns. Clutching your pearls over an event more mild than dozens of events that occurred in just Portland is not going to convince anyone the left cares about the integrity of the country.

I guess, from the perspective of those that I've spoken to, the fact that those buildings and monuments are pretty much institutional and some of the most recognizable and important symbols of the American government and country in general, shows just how little respect we have for the U.S. if we are willing to vandalize them, and it's not something that reflects well on us.

Other riots and protests have happened in other cities, and to a greater degree, but the fact that it was Washington D.C. that was the site for this one, the capitol of our nation, means it holds more significance. Really makes some feel like the country is turning into something that's not safe anymore (if not already).

Not saying I agree with any of this mind you, just bringing in differenct perspectives.

I get it 100% that it likely was the attention given to the tour that upset people so much, but that also infuriates a lot of people who were concerned about riots/protests occurring elsewhere.

It's the fact the left has been so selective with their tears that makes their whining look so ingenuine. It shouldn't be so difficult to say a certain action is wrong, yet instead there's all variety of arguments of how the left's protests were just fine even if various deaths occurred, but the right's protests were evil because some guy had a stroke some time later. The hypocrisy is hard for any sane person to permit.

From the point of view of one of those "Rethuglicans" who "regrets" his help in ushering in the apocalypse:

Flashback: yesterday. I'm taking the train into work, a girl gets on - twenty-five, maybe. Square glasses, jean jacket and a black skirt, no stockings, but a scorpion tattooed on her calf. Full of life. When the train got to her station the doors hissed open, she turned and looked over her shoulder at me and smiled and I smiled back and she gave me the finger.

Fuck you, old man. Fuck you, Washington pig. Fuck you because you like the way I look but you're wearing slacks and a belt. Fuck you because there's a logo on your briefcase, you are Them - you are the Enemy. And you can't say, "All I ever wanted to do was keep you safe". But if she got on a train in fucking Syria in that get-up they would cut off her hands. None of Aunt Chrissy's friends want to hear that. They are full of liberal righteousness, which means that it's better to let foreigners rot in hell than to lift a finger to save them and be thought a bully.

Chrissy likes to think all our wars are about oil. It makes the world simple for her, because if it's all just greedy tycoons somewhere, there are no hard choices and she never has to be a bad guy. I have a master's degree in political economics from Yale. She has an arts degree from a city college. I spend 12 and 14 hour days going through State Department briefs, CIA analysis papers, raw and edited surveillance footage, agent reports, and satellite data. She reads a couple of liberal blogs and lectures me on the state of the world every time we meet. Am I *aware* of the *cost* of the Syrian campaign?!

I keep waiting for her to realize her own colossal arrogance, but it never happens. In Chrissy's world, facts don't matter and hard choices don't exist. Policies are like rock bands: mine is cool and yours sucks, and if mainstream people like it, it must suck ASS.

Not a single thing he says about people like Chrissy is wrong. Not one. And yet, HE'S supposed to be the bad guy, and Chrissy's supposed to be part of the "heroic revolution". Really makes you think.
