I’m sure the 8 year old kid inside thought it was cool too.

Maybe the kid’s parents should learn to do the right things to keep them safe

It should be obvious now what those things are

I’ll say it, sometimes the FO of FA for right wingers is to lose someone. They only understand when it personally affects them in some capacity.

They only understand when it personally affects them in some capacity.

I keep this image saved on my phone, because it is relevant way too often:

Another fun fact is that liberals scored 20 points at the highest, while conservatives scored a 12. So not only do they only care about themselves, they don’t even care about the people closest to themselves as much as liberals care about people they don’t know
I vaguely remember seeing that before, I know that studies of people’s brains shows an actual, physical difference. With the centers for emotional response, especially fear, larger in typically Republican voters while those left of them don’t have as large portions.

When those in power choose to ignore the people they represent, then what other options are there?

Essentially you’re saying elected representatives can use their children as human shields so they can do whatever they want.

And you’re saying thise kids deserve to have their lives endangered because of whatever stupid decisions their parents are making? The kids don’t have a say in anything, and they can’t leave! This person was too much of a coward to take this action to wherever the councilperson works. Nobody cares about innocent lives lost anymore.

And also, the more this sort of thing happens, the less people will want to put their families in potential danger. You will get fewer good, quality people running for any office.

When those in power choose to ignore the people they represent, then what other options are there?

Oh I don’t know, off the the top of my head… Elect people who will represent the people accordingly, run for office and be the change you want to see, move to another town/state that is more in line with your beliefs. It’s certainly not to assassinate those that I feel aren’t living up to my standards.

Essentially you’re saying elected representatives can use their children as human shields so they can do whatever they want.

Never said anything remotely close to that.

They’re just going to data center even harder now to show them who’s boss
The local community is just getting a jumpstart on installing some much needed ventilation. Airflow is very important for data centers.

Why we talkin bout the Klingon dilithium mining moon?

Everything’s fine on Praxis, don’t need help nope it’s all good thanks move along

i wonder if it’s literally pronounced “prak-sis” or if it’s a literal translation of the klingon word for the concept of praxis as humanity understands it…

Hear me out…

How do we know it wasn’t a peaceful person leaving a hand written note begging for no more datacentres, when their nemesis, Dr Datacentre, drove past and started shooting at him?

There was a firefiiiiiiiight

Boondock Saints. There was a fire fight! Epic shootout scene.

The four boxes of liberty-

  • Soap box
  • ballot box
  • jury box
  • ammo box
  • We’re at the last one because they’ve removed all the others.

    That’s literally not true. The current administration is in power because 86 million eligible people didn’t bother to vote.

    If “Did Not Vote” had been a candidate:

    The only difference is that the Democrats wouldn’t be threatening to end the civilization. AIPAC and thus Israel has our country by the proverbial testicles.
    AIPAC & Israel? This post is about domestic data centers. It’s easy to say “bOtH SiDeS” and that nothing would be different if we had successfully kept Trump from returning to power…

    Between work, here, and other things pulling at me, got confused what it was about. My apologies.

    For the actual topic, though, I still don’t see Dems are more than the control opposition party. You throw enough at most of them and they’ll let you do something.

    I’d be interested in an interactive version of this where you could assign a percentage of those votes to the person who lost the state as a naive proxy for “what would have happened if the people who thought their vote didn’t matter because [D|R] would win anyway”. I know it wouldn’t be an actual measure but it’d be fun to mess with anyway.

    In particular I find it kinda interesting that CA and TX are both didn’t vote and both historically considered “easy wins”

    I think you are on to something, but I’d say it actually largely deflates the ‘people didn’t vote and if they had, maybe the outcome would have been different’ narrative.

    “Did not vote” rules in non-swing states. I wager that, for example, most people didn’t vote in california not because they see their candidate as a lost cause, but because they know “their” candidate has carried the state for sure.

    So in a shift to proportional electoral vote or popular vote, you’d probably get a lot more voters engaged in California, Hawaii, NY, and pick up democrat votes but you’d also get more red voters from Alaska, Texas, Utah, Kansan, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabamba, Tennesse… etc… I’m not sure which group manages to bring out more non-voters in that scenario…

    I wager that, for example, most people didn’t vote in california not because they see their candidate as a lost cause, but because they know “their” candidate has carried the state for sure.

    That’s a natural interpretation as well. I wonder if it’d be possible to at least guess at whether it was that or “my person won’t win so what’s the point”. There are probably so many other factors. For example the “did not vote map” looks surprisingly similar to the SOVI map: www.atsdr.cdc.gov/…/svi-interactive-map.html

    Fuck off with this shit. Normalizing political violence of any kind is not okay. It’s all fun and games until they start shooting at the people you support, and that’s a ratchet that tends to go only one way.
    They already are
    how about when elected politicians bend the knee to private interests, giving preference of basic resources like water or electricity to datacenters over their own cities? How are citizens supposed to react?
    I’m sure we can find some middle ground between nothing and shoot-the-place-up.

    Drag the offenders into the street to be tried by televised mob justice?

    Seriously, until multiple people responsible get serious consequences the situation will continue to devolve.

    That sounds like an excellent place to start.
    I think 2A folks believe 2A was made for situations like this. When government doesn’t listen to voice of the people.
    There’s a difference between 2A folk really. You have the right wing which view it as a tool of power and wield it with little to no responsibility. Then the left as a tool against oppression that one should take care with. There’s far fewer left leaning attacks like this than there is right leaning.
    But … guillotines!?
    I’m confused, how does one shoot guillotines at someone?
    The fuck you talking about? They already are killing civilians under this ICE bullshit. Comply or get shot in the face.
    They straight up executed Alex Pretti. He wasn’t resisting, they were beating the shit out of him, then the guy just draws his gun, walks up to him, and puts rounds into him.

    “Comply” with 3 conflicting orders being screamed at you behind masks.

    Get shot anyway.

    They already shoot people I support.

    Was Renee Good a family member of yours?

    Because she could have been

    Edit: sorry I’ll dignify you with an actual response that reflects my views, I shouldn’t just reaction image something like this. I think political violence is going to ramp up due to the deteriorating living conditions within the American empire and there’s nothing we can do to prevent that. The goal should be to direct it.

    Group in power has ratcheted up political violence in multiple staggering ways, deliberately, they use it constantly to brutalize people.

    What are you even talking about? There is no peaceful baseline that exists to be maintained. They have broken the social contract entirely. Where have you been?

    Uh they already have been murdering democratic politicians. Remember that guy who got beaten with a hammer? Or that couple and their dog who got shot by a dude pretending to be a cop? It has been happening already. Your point is nonexistant
    Decrying political violence is incredibly naive. Violence has been a political tool for thousands of years. It’s not an ideal solution 99.99% of the time, but it does achieve results. I mean hell, the American Revolution was literally political violence.
