We have numerous examples in US history of that. What do you think they did in the Old West? The sheriff was often outmanned and undergunned, so nobody wanted the position. The bandits were so powerful that ordinary citizens had to be calle

Yet the S&P500 is still green. The Fed continues to print in order to delay the inevitable. Either a currency crisis or hyperinflation.

It will be, because of who he is. Anyone with large amounts of clout and following will not be subject to the same rules of the platform.

One possible solution is to deputize local law abiding citizens temporarily. And rehire officers that undergo stricter training.

> If you pick up a gun, you are actively planning the possibility of a shoot. That is exactly what I stated earlier. Nobody is planning to shoot someone with malice aforethought in a self-defense scenario. As you say, they are planning

That’s taken heavily out of context. Nobody plans to shoot someone when in a self-defense situation. Planning to use a gun to shoot someone is by definition a crime, and there is a burden of proof for that.

CA has the castle doctrine, and many states have stand your ground laws. Nobody plans to shoot anyone, for self defense it is used as a last resort when an intruder continues to threaten the occupant.

It’s a vicious cycle. The rioters and looters pillage their own communities. This causes productive locals to flee, as it is now a safety issue and most of them were impacted financially by COVID-19 so they do not have the means to rebuild.

Legally purchased firearms are rarely used to do something illegal. That would be stupid, they have your name and address. I see no reason why a gun store can’t remain open. Or any store for that matter. It should be up to that business to

It is quite an achievement. This paves the way forward for eventual space colonization.

Yes that is true, and one of the major failures of the Ottoman Empire. They couldn’t instill any sort of nationalism in Greeks and other minority subjects. The cultures were too different. Hence why the empire fell and Balkanized.

Violence is often normalized so long as those who are perpetuating it are politically aligned. For example, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and his government genocided millions of Greeks and Armenians. Most nationalistic Turks found nothing wrong wi

This is just posturing. Pompeo is a notorious war hawk who wants to incite wars with so-called enemies of the United States. Luckily our President is peace minded, and such tricks don’t work very well on him. At least for now. Additionally,

That’s one narrative they form about the story of their life. In order to be free from that (often) faulty narrative, dissolving the ego is necessary. Either through psilocybin or other methods.

Depression and anxiety are diseases of the ego. When you dissolve your ego, such afflictions melt away.

It is a simple solution, it’s just that some states don’t want strong ID laws. They are willing to turn a blind eye to illegal immigration for votes. As much as I find that unconscionable, it is up to the states to design their IDs and ID l

If it’s trivial to do this type of fraud, imagine how easy it is to falsify voting records. Especially in states that don’t have strict voter ID laws.

Something similar happened to me when I was in India. During peak traffic hours, this lady clothed entirely in black was pestering my taxi driver to buy something. Turns out the lady was a gypsy, and my superstitious cab driver begged me to

J. Krishnamurti said it the best: "Belief has no place where truth is concerned." I always view these types of movements with a lot of suspicion. Mainly because of the falsehoods they present. Self-realization is not something tha
