Also the skinny had a car full of drugs and still tried to pull over after the accident. Anyone else would have tried to pull a hit and run in that situation.

iirc there was a recording that corroborated the sound of a gunshot. Additionally, the CIA divulged under oath that they had assets both on the field and in a nearby dorm.

At a certain point maybe they start to believe in the magical powers of whiteness. It's like the Maji Maji Rebellion, (where Africans believed that if they drank some magic water the German's bullets would turn into water) but even more retarded.

As far as the state of “kids these days”, I think what we’re seeing is due internet, but in a different way.
We’ve long had youth subcultures, where teenagers through 20-somethings try to dress and style themselves in a way that’s counter to the mainstream, as a way to show off how cool they are to other teenagers and 20-somethings. (Bonus points if the old people and normies find it kind of repugnant.) And those youth subcultures have often had a political element to them because, let’s face it, that age range is when most people first start to realize that the world is kind of shitty but they’re still naive enough to believe they can do something major about it.
It’s just that in the past, before everyone was on the internet, most of us adults wouldn’t have really crossed paths with them very often. We’d probably see the ones in the local area, or hear the news stories about the wayward youth of today protesting and rioting, or maybe even have some personal encounters with a few of them if we had kids of our own that age. We’d certainly know that unfortunate-looking bastards with bad haircuts, ugly glasses, and extreme leftist political beliefs existed. But we probably wouldn’t be acquainted with the details and nuances of those beliefs like we are today, because socially, we’d just occupy different worlds. Thanks to the internet (and social media in particular) this is the first time people have really been able to get an in-depth look at the most extreme aspects of subcultures without actually interacting with them in any way.
And on the subject of supposedly increasing anxiety and depression, I think we have to question how much of that is actually an increase mood disorders, and how much is over-diagnosed teenage angst and/or people self-diagnosing because they think it makes their complaints seem more valid.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

they unironically didn’t? The Insurrectionists had burned down an Army office and were actively rioting. The only thing they did wrong at Kent State was that they didn’t kill them all.

This one I've been chewing on for a while. I don't think it's just that we're interfacing with them more (and cripes, it's still odd to consider myself already a crotchedy adult), but that we're taking them seriously. An anonymous avatar or some dumb name you see on a chain of comments gives you no idea about who you're actually interacting with or what you should expect them to know or have experienced. Gives them this weird sense of... authority, I guess? And then when they see adults agreeing with them or nodding along, that's a form of validation that didn't come hitherto - maybe that calcifies these ideas and identities, when they previously would get washed out through normal socialization. I can't escape that it's also, like... we've also got a way for people to avoid interacting with the real world, yet to still wax poetic about it in a way that used to have at least some nominal form of gatekeeping involved.
The depression/anxiety stuff, yeah, I don't doubt that the rates are overblown and overreported, but it means more we've got to rely on our own anecdotal experiences of folks and of their culture/attitudes. That's more where I get my alarmism. There were always depressed kids and anxious kids, grossly underreported and underrepresented throughout older societies, but were there these weird... cults of it? Where people essentially wear it as a badge of honor, celebrate it, actively browbeat people who turn their lives around? Maybe in smaller groups, but now you can get plugged in online to these veritable cults - and if you never picked up how to socialize without the aid of tech, what do you do if that clique tosses you out?
But this might just be a me thing. I don't really like how commonplace the HAHA I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF humor is among people who're genuinely depressed or who have previously attempted selbstmord, and I just get this impression that kids have been hooked up into this non-stop deluge of negativity and pessimism long before they've learned to properly filter that out or understood how it affects them. If I get tired of feeling like crap, I know to just get off the damn internet and put the damn news down and tinker with something rewarding -- I've just known too many folks even just 4 years my junior who will sit and stay plugged into the machine, or distract themselves with some empty escapism that doesn't do much to up the mood.

Wait, what? They're getting rid of their emergency dispatchers? How in the fuck is that supposed to work? The whole article is filled with insanity. Nothing makes any sense.

Why pay the Seattle police if they're just going to tell them not to do their jobs anyway? Seems perfectly sensible.

It seems like they just want to remove them from police command. Not get rid of them completely. I'm sure this is just some harebrained scheme that they are going to use to only dispatch cops to crimes they deem "worthy" of responding to.

Removing them from police command is the first step in removing them completely. I can see no way that they can function effectively if they're cut off from police command. I know people who have done emergency response; their relationship with the dispatchers is complex, intimate and essential. Cutting the link between the dispatchers and the police is both an insane move and a highly political one.

Just look at the Seattle council, almost all women and dindus. That decision is not surprising and should be an example for other counties and cities who not to vote in power.

This looks like a big city-wide social experiment: defund the police and see what happens. The rich people don't care they just hire private security for their gated communities. And if someone dares to stir up trouble they get shot because "Muh private security", Meanwhile the rest of the city will either fall into chaos / turfs or some sort of private police will establish itself. In that case the city gets a security force that works for free (or more likely extorts the citizens)

Seattle has gone completely crazy.
Imagine if people were pulled into a meeting on “undoing blackness”. Imagine how insanely racist that would be. Seriously, just flip the races on most of this woke bullshit and see how it sounds.

I don't think any of them care about black-on-black crime. The stats have been around for decades, it was in the national spotlight big time over the 4th of July weekend, we have body cam footage, we have WorldStar, and we've got all kinds of things that show just how things really are. But that's just normal for them, I guess. It's only when someone else hurts them or kills them that its a problem.
