Isn't the purpose of the antifa "Medics" to hand out water to keep the protesters from getting thirsty and wandering off? I remember they were freaking out about some Asheville cops who busted up their water stand.

It's also to help flood their eyes when they get tear gassed. Some places had gallons of milk.

I remember hearing a joke about streets named after mlk. Something about you lock your doors and never stop, not even for red lights.

KCMO city council renamed Paseo to MLK. This pissed off everyone, including a majority of the black community. They were forced to change it back after a ballot issue passed with 70% support. For a short time, it was probably the nicest MLK Boulevard in the country.

I don't know how many of you have had to take a mandatory ethics class in College for your degree or to update/modernize your degree, but Ethics is one of the classes that needs to be fumigated with napalm.

I took an engineering ethics class. It was taught by a PE and was basically 'anything you stamp is your responsibility for the rest of forever'. Unrelated, but the only trolley problem that actually makes me thunk:

I might get autistic ratings for this, but I think it's animal cruelty to take horses and dogs into dangerous policing situations. They didn't sign up for that shit.

Working dogs and horses love their jobs. Crowd control isn't that much different from herding, they just need to be acclimatized to the extra stimulus so they don't panic. That horse clearly panicked and just wanted to go home, which it did. Whether this happened from bad training or bad habits I don't know.

The one thing I can't get behind is people using dogs to hunt mountain lions. I am incapable of seeing dogs as tools and it's not usual to lose 1 or 2 dogs in a hunt.

ETA @HTTP Error 404 I left in a quote from yesterday and forgot what I was going to say.

Backlash is nice and all, but with social media clamping down extremely hard on any thing contrary to the prevailing narrative, they're essentially screaming into a vacuum. There is no way to organize or consolidate power to get the force, political or otherwise, needed to overturn this whole mess.

Good news is the narrative is cracking on several fronts, several fronts it would be hard to silence without getting even more backlash.

For instance, the blacks versus jews one puts them in that horrible spot of choosing who to side with, both options sucking.

The Democrats, as originally conceived, were for small government and favored the states over the federal government. Goes all the way back to Jefferson, Jackson gave it a new coat of paint but it was the same core idea, post Civil War they were favoring that to dismantle Reconstruction and oppose tariffs, and even the modern version has Democrats favor their stronghold states (like California) over the rest of the country.

The whole point of the creation of the Democratic party was to advance Federalism(states rights).

They could blame /pol/ tards for trying to turn blacks against their benefactors.
