There's so many parts to dismantle, I can't blame a parent for looking at their 5 year old who needs to go to school now and just opting out of the system.

At this point if you're at all responsible you don't bring a future 5-year-old into the world unless you and your parenting partner have a plan for opting out of the system without getting coerced back in.
 
Can't even revert the name to New Amsterdam, because the Dutch were involved in the slave trade.

Also, Joon really doesn't fucking understand what the actual definition of "emotional labour" is, or how cops might experience stress and anxiety while under constant public attack -

Something I realize about the call to empower social workers and teachers to replace the cops - do these defund idiots not realize that both are already massively overworked, underpaid, and burning out? And that cops probably experience the same sorts of pressures at work, seeing the best and worst of humanity? It's exactly the same kind of stress experienced by teachers, nurses, social workers all face.

And being stressed that there's the possibility of food tampering, when it appeared it might have occurred? Pretty reasonable, in my eyes.



The bodycams might have been in the evidence locker that was torched, when the precinct was lit on fire. I assume there's cloud storage, but if it's not the original recording from the devices on the officers, a competent prosecutor could make an argument that any cloud-stored data isn't provably original. I don't see how they'd get a judge to agree, but just stating that in front of the jury could plant the thought in their heads.
A thought occurs:
LET'S SAY the cops are completely reformed.
LET'S SAY some huge changes go through.
Would even that be enough? Or would people still hate on police for what the people before them did?

Michigan pollster: Trump’s Bible photo op caused immediate drop in support
EPIC-MRA pollster Bernie Porn attributed the quick drop to public backlash and negative press resulting from Trump’s staged photo on June 1. The two polls collected responses from separate samples of 600 likely Michigan voters and both had a 4% margin of error.
Trump's approval ratings drop by 4%. Poll has 4% margin of error. Perhaps I'm misreading that.

Trump was widely criticized, even by some in his own party, after peaceful demonstrators outside the White House were dispersed by law enforcement using chemical irritants, smoke canisters, rubber bullets and other riot control measures.
I remember those peaceful protests! Where some 20 secret service agents were hospitalized, where we all watched on livestream peaceful protesters rush and attacking the police repeatedly. War is peace! Rioting is love! Arson is speech!

Porn said the large difference between Biden and Trump is notable.
I make it a habit to never trust porn.

Heavily armed police add to tensions and inhibit progress, advocates say
“Coming with tanks and things does not deescalate, but escalates emotions,” Jeffries said. "They are triggering things.”
Rioters demand police stop trying to escalate things while they are looting and pillaging. Can't you see I'm trying to loot a TV over here? Can't a brother burn down a Wendy's in peace?

While there were no reports of actual tanks being used by police, The Detroit-area man says the sight of armored vehicles and the heavily armed police lines may have instigated the vandalism seen in some cities, rather than preventing it.

Tearing down a monument that was created by freed slaves during reconstruction to fight racism is the current timeline.

I'm SO sure slaves carved a statue of Lincoln and erected it themselves.


This kind of reminds me of this:

If you ever heard or read about this, this was a social phenomenon that swept through Europe throughout the Renaissance. Basically people would just dance until they passed out or died. And tons of people would join in. Think para para to the extreme. At first, musicians would join in because they thought the music would "cure" it. But then it backfired and it would just make more people join. Some historians think the dancing was due to stress from war, famine, poverty, etc. Some others think it was mass psychological illness, WHICH LOOKS PRETTY DAMN FAMILIAR TODAY.

Cops aren't even allowed to shoot you if they feel their life is in danger. They can shoot you if a reasonable person in the same situation would feel their life was in danger and/or whatever other professional standards cops use for shoot/don't shoot. Pretty sure "I feel scared" totally divorced from reality isn't one of them.
 
Abandoning what you've built because it's haaaard and I don't wannnaaa is the real defeatist faggotry. It's honestly baffling to me that conservatives don't realize the correlation between their abandonment of institutions and the leftist takeover of them. Instead, they just wanna drink another beer, pop another pill, and bitch online. You get what you fuckin deserve!

I'm not a conservative, in the popular or the literal sense of the word. I simply agree with a number of their principles, and I'm a fellow-traveler on some of their projects.

Conservatives want to conserve the civilization and infrastructure their ancestors built up. In a tabula rasa world, so do I; it's a better approach than the progressive "we know better, tear it all down" desire. But that's a directional determination. If you believe society can collapse, you necessarily believe that they do collapse, frequently, regardless of conservative efforts. The trick is identifying when that is happening while it's happening, not after the fact, and separating out the usual generational pessimism from actual collapse.

I think I am observing an empire in the early stages of inevitable collapse, and I feel no compelling conservative instincts beyond what I can feasibly protect: myself, my family, my neighborhood. I could always be wrong, but no one's shown any evidence to contradict me.

I don't believe in school reform--the institution of public education is fucked. I could sketch you up a workable model for schools, but it's incompatible with any notion of mass schooling either side holds. Show me a society willing to fragment its indoctrination, and I'll come back.

Conservatives weren't "lazy" on education, they've been fighting tooth and nail since the 90's. And they lost. I was there with them. You want to send them back onto the battlefield. I say let them disperse, heal up, and let the enemy over-extend. Let the status quo collapse, and be ready to pick up the pieces.

This attitude is bad for society? Yes, absolutely. But we have a country of the people and by the people. If the people are decadent and destructive, the resulting nation is for that people. They get what they fucking deserve. If Obama's cult and BLM's slavery guilt-trippers wants to tell me you didn't build it, very well; I also didn't destroy it. I refuse to assume responsibility for the destructive acts of others, when I didn't encourage or trigger them.

If you want to de-poz any single institution right now, you have to fight against multiple ingrained narratives: BLM, trans rights, feminism, socialism, offensive language, equity over equality, anti-meritocracy, class warfare, and general post-modernism. I can argue against any of those individually, online or in person. I can't argue against all of them at once, and I can't fight all of them at once.

Their ideological adherents already agreed to re-enforce each other for political solidarity: observe what happened as BLM ran into Pride Month. Meanwhile, I can't get the socialism-hating libertarians to push back against the 52 genders/trans rights bullshit. I refuse to rally a small squad to stand against a horde and get wiped out, when I see no reinforcements on the horizon nor any hope for eventual victory from our defeat.

(Sargon's Lament is poignant: he just wanted to play video games. He didn't start a culture war trying to tear everything down, the war came for him. His critical mistake, and the source of his lolcow behavior, was thinking he could reverse the destruction.)

That is not being a lazy doomer, that is choosing a battlefield where I can win. You want me to fight in the Democratic strongholds, in their captured institutions, against their mobs which operate with political and press cover. No. I'll fight them when they're tired and desperate. If that takes losing a few states, having to re-build things that never should have been destroyed, too bad; that is the cost for a society that squandered what was left to it.

Choices have fucking consequences, and if society chooses to destroy itself, I'd be foolish to fight the natural order by trying to prevent the consequences.

Empire always collapses; but the people survive. Focusing on the latter isn't being a futile doomer, it's optimism for a very different future than the status quo.

every single time without fail, when will these fuckers learn that brevity is the soul of wit?

These shitty memes keep popping up in my Facebook town pages. A simple "lol the left really can't meme, huh?" usually gets me more laugh reacts than them and results in a small to medium meltdown.

They're trying to correlate a drop in polling due to doctored media narratives and Trump doing nothing to stop America from burning down with the one thing his base actually liked. The media is, as always, trying to further demoralize the right and make sure they get nothing by making their leaders betray them.

Funny how it's almost certain that none of those guys are left wing since being a gym-rat correlates heavily with being right wing politically.

Some buddy of mine shared me some tweet that Fox News aired a Biden speech over a Trump speech today. I can't find any news about this on /pol/ or Brietbart other than Trump's online speeches get higher numbers than Bidens.
