The eternal problem with Libertarians and why they will never be a reliable political or cultural partner on the issue is because they unironically see labor (read people) as a commodity that can be traded and sought out globally at the lowest possible price, and that the concerns of the welfare of citizens or the social and cultural cohesion of a nation state is anti-competitive to the marketplace. They will always be pro open borders, even as they say you can't have open borders and a welfare state at the same time.
 
This is why my ability to give a fuck about the westburo baptist church is basically nill

Say what you want about them, I don't think they have EVER done anything like violence or property destruction, they just stand with signs.

Be better, be like the westburo baptist church
Yep, they were assholes. But they were just assholes. Barely any punches thrown. We pointed and laughed at them, and they argued with us.

That's ideally what free speech should be like.

These faggots chimping out and burning shit down and blocking roads and being gigantic pains in the ass?

Not free speech.
 
What a stupid fucking era we live in.
I agree on this part at least. There isn't anything wrong with having the borders enforced and sending in ICE. Fedding the national guard without talking to newsome is dumb but I'm not surprised. Sending the Marines in for a gay lil riot is just a flashy waste.

Dems won't ever stop stepping on their own feet; however, that much is clear. The people have spoken through the election, and the whole campaign the Dems ran about "saving democracy" was and continues to be useless. Americans don't understand an abstract concept like democracy in the first place. Trump won due to how people are tired of being poor and having bleak prospects, and seeing Biden as a continuation of the American malaise. People see Trump as someone different from the establishment and that he will tear out the swamp and make everything magically better. Trump is somebody who wants money and power, and he is smart enough to win the election twice. Trump will not heal the nation, he seeks to push and prod it to his whim.

I'll be very glad once this era of "Trump does extreme thing to generate headlines and spite his personal enemies (more people start watching news again, media profits skyrocket) --> response is divided between rational people calling him retarded and sycophants worshipping his every breath --> Trump does thing to escalate shitshow (media profits skyrocket) --> Trump gets bored and does other retarded authoritarian thing (media profits skyrocket)" is over.

I want nothing more than the death of the 24 hour news cycle, the bankruptcy of every segment of American corporate media that helped boost Trump to prominence via controversy and for the total de-retardatization of American politics.
I'd hope people get tired of the constant headlines after a year or two of the admin, but I don't think that will happen. The media seeks to maximize as much value from us as possible, and Trump is the perfect envoy to get money.

Hopefully when the boomers all die things will get better, but I'm not holding my breath at this point.
 
Posts like this - and more importantly, actions that back them up - are what I voted for.

Instead of the previous Potemkin regime that had to meticulously curate, spin, and censor everything, this admin presents the evidence as it is. It doesn't treat the American public as gullible knaves.

To see the highest authorities in the world speaking unvarnished truth, and the cast-down regime unable to "no child" it away... it's like the last five years were all just a bad dream.
 
guaran-fucking-tee you the majority of those crowds are American-born citizens. Walking into a flood of news cameras, showing your face and waving the mexican flag on camera would be an instant deportation death sentence for any undocumented migrant. It's Los Angeles, of course a bunch of college wannabe revolutionaries and cholos are waving around flags of their ethnic origin. Next you'll tell me that there's a Chinese invasion once you drive past LA's equivalent of Chinatown.

The whole reason ICE is abducting people in plain clothes and doing sudden ambush sweeps is because the vast majority of undocumented migrants want to stay as far out of the spotlight as possible, safe in America until they can find an avenue to become legal.
God I hope the next democratic president uses every single inch you faggots have given the federal government under Trump against your side.

Make those fascistic fantasy Hillary Clinton AR-15 gun grabs real, start forcing every school to teach Critical Race Theory and DEI universally, bring back affirmative action and make sure it's the fantasy version that conservatives used to fear monger about in the 2000s, there's no reason to stop federal government overreach anymore!
Stop concern trolling faggot.
 
The events seem extremely localized but somewhat energetic in the locations they take place.

Not at all. Most of the shit on the news is sensationalized turned up to 11 for those sweet sweet ratings and clicks.

For real though, I went about my day this weekend as Normal, ran errands, got my car washed, basic stuff, not being shut in, and I got like 20 calls and DMs asking if I was okay and I didn’t even know a riot was going on
 
LAPD fires less lethal round intro crowd, bits of rubber shrapnel explode around people, a protester throws a firework into police formation.



LAPD officers unload less lethal rounds at close range against a protester, another officer takes a swing at him.

 
Beaner's perfectly normal commentary on current events.
I posted a shorter version of this earlier, but you got a longer version. Notice the throbbing vein in the side of his neck.

Also, my favorite frame

Don't care. If they are burning down shit, assaulting people, breaking windows, ect, shoot em dead.

"american citizen" isn't some holy grail, all the niggers in Detroit are also american citizens.
