In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there a
just like you do when someone fails to clear the plates between the anti-pasti and fish course. it's just logic
in other news , according to this article by politico the attempted "counter-gerrymander" by California to balance the Texas gerrymander was a bluff
As far as I can tell both states are following through on the re-districting plans.
So how is that a bluff?
Consider the cost of even “justified” killing on the enforcer.
How many soldiers and officers who used lethal force have severely diminished quality of life post encounter?
And those are just the ones who are willing to be honest with themselves about their issues.

article is pretty long but the idea of the author is that they didn't want to do that and they thought it would have been enough just to threaten that (to stop Texas gerrymandering).
anyway Texas did it, now California will have a special election to amend the constitution to remove the commission for gerrymandering and allow the legislature to redraw maps, at least that's how I understood it.
You'll get much further in your arguments with MAGA on the internet if you don't point to Trump's "convicted felon" status as a major character flaw.
Only the most deranged anti-Trumpers think expense account misclassification is a something-burger.
Pick literally anything else about the guy, but not that farce of a SDNY conviction.
No doubt. I agree with you. Multiple bankruptcies and you thing he's a genius businessman. Multiple rape allegations and one judgement against him - he's a devout christian. Pedo - no problem. Lying about literally everything - he's just telling it like it is. Encouraging a rioting crowd to take over the capital - no problem. The list goes on. No matter how horrible he is and how deranged the things he does, you don't care. The whole lot of you are horrible humans and stupid to boot. You can all go **** yourselves.

Dude you're the one leaving it wide open to be abused. I'm telling you to lock your **** up or do something that takes it away from him til he goes away. You should already know by now that waiting for the cops isn't the best idea--especially for what amounts to minor nuisance stuff.
As it is you're setting up a little free pornhub access point and getting mad that people are using it lol
Keep in mind that there wouldn't be any homeless in dense urban settings anymore after the first 100, 200, 500 or whatever are executed in the streets for "previously minor" offences.They would go in remote areas which is where they always should have been. Problem solved with far less violence needed than what you think. The same is true for riots and most other things. If you
I’m not willing to use unlimited violence to prevent homelessness so there you go.
violent people who wage violence on normal citizens are ultra toxic for society, and it should simply be legal (both by private individuals when they are victim of violence, and for law enforcement when they have to deal with them) to use violence to make them stop
Yes, you've made your position very clear.
Also 'ultra-toxic for society' are folks who take the law into their own hands.
Seem to be homeless is about to become illegal …
keep in mind that happened with the CURRENT model in place, not with my model. Ie, bad actors can ALREADY do bad things, right now.
Yeah, exactly. Giving them more power and more leeway to commit violence doesn't lead to more order

Nah , see with guns .
More guns = More safety, less death !
:p

That’s a surprisingly good point from you.
But like all psychopaths with a highly limited emotional range Luciom cannot understand this.

I can understand some people breaking under pressure, and i can understand that being willing to take human life can be pressure.
That's an argument to select people for those roles better, not to avoid having those roles.
And btw, what if using violence purposefully to improve society actually... makes you a better person?
I know not everyone considers the founding fathers good people, but for those who did, most of them did assassinate a lot of enemies before writing what (for us) is one of the most marvelous and wise political document in human history.
Not to mention the fact that romans , one of the most succesful societies in human history and a giant of civilization at their time, had a warlike attitude in selection of leaders with basically a mandate to be a veteran to be allowed to participate in political life, for several centuries.
So what if a willingness to use lethal violence against people who deserve that and the ability to do so without emotional repercussion is actually a filter to select the best people in society to lead?
Now that doesn't make petty criminals necessarily a fair target. But it does answer the "what if using violence breaks someone"
Some of the most succesful societies in human history actually glorified properly used violence and considered people capable to use violence in a focused and targeted way better people , to the point they selected their leaders among those who best used violence in their career.
And yes that applies for violence against citizens to: Justinian the first, a leader glorified for centuries afterwards, killed tens of thousands of rioting citizens. Those were riots stemming from chariot racing (lol) , and he directed belisarius to have no mercy for them, and killed as many as he could.
That probabily allowed the eastern empire to survive centuries longer than it would have otherwise. That's the kind of leaders that history used to celebrate as immensely wise and succesful.
At this point we should consider a lack of willingness to ever use violence as psychopathy. The west needs to renormalize violence as a useful tool and to glorify it's proper uses against enemies foreign and domestic.
Game of throne had immense appeal to leftists as well, not only to rightwing people.
It was a tv show that attracted "eyeballs" in un unexpected way (given the setting which usually cuts off a lot of people because not everyone is interested in fantasy and magic).
What GoT had that was lacking in society around those viewers, was the glorification of violence as well as the depiction of vile acts of violence. Both sides of violence were shown without remorse, in crude direct ways.
A character that instantly becomes the hero all viewers hope will win , in what was basically the first actual scene after the prologue, takes it upon himself to decapitate a citizen of his land who deserves to die according to the laws and customs of his land.
He does that with a ruthlessness we forgot could exist. Maybe viewers were shocked? but not only they "forgave" that, again that character became the "good hero" against the actually evil people surrounding him.
That's what i am talking about.
when assessing criminality and immigration, people should realize that the baseline isn't "previous crime", rather am expected massive drop in crime because of improving material conditions of the population and an ageing population.
When people say that we can't complain about immigration because crime rates are going down, this is what they are hiding from you, that in japan crime almost disappeared in the same amount of time (
] murders are the most stable crime statistics and the hardest one to fiddle with, so the most trustable one
There’s a slight difference between liking simulated violence and liking actual violence.
You can’t be this dense.
In other news, italians are organizing on telegram groups under the umbrella name "article 52" (from our article in the constitution that says "defending the fatherland is a sacred duty of citizens") to create militias to counter immigrant gangs in various cities.

But sure please be against the state doing it's job within the boundaries of a liberal constitution to fix crime, what could go wrong
