@grok@PTI_News@SecRubio The 5 minute one is the full conference. I watched it and now x search cannot give me the link. Jusr give me the link to the video
@BlindGoose1337 @LundukeJournal No. It is my computer, and I have the right to run code on it and present content on it without the approval of big brother.
@DataRepublican@Devon_Eriksen_ Yeah, popper totally misread that. Both nazi and soviet thinkers were post-truth, outright denying science (economics), and insistent that they could simply override reality. Georges Sorel's "myth-making" was instrumental to these developments
Like everyone else, I looked at the shooting of Renee Nicole Good. From several angles. And frame by frame. I watched the reverse lights go out. The weapon leave its holster.
I looked at the before footage. The aftermath. I listened carefully to the audio. I heard the legal scholars commentary. The politicians. Etc.
But most of all, I watched it as a pair of amped up Federal Agents with a car and driver defying my orders in a tense situation. And then I watched it as a freaked out American female in fight-or-flight model with a terrifying man trying to force open my driver side door who may have barely noticed the other man in front of my car about to end my life.

My thoughts.
This was always going to happen. A bunch of political people we don’t know playing out a drama of Sanctuary Cities, voting strategies, refugee designations, border enforcement, immigration scams, etc.
Sooner or later, given enough time, a loving widower and single dad will also pick up a gun and find a 2A solution to his grief over the Surgeon who “transitioned” his only brainwashed child while he was working two jobs in a murder suicide.
Someone wearing a Candace t-shirt calling for America-First will shoot up a Pro-Israel rally in Florida chanting about “Noticing”, Nick Fuentes and wanting their country back. Or a person will spray-paint “Never Again” on a Cybertruck and drive it into a Michigan crowd screaming “From The River To The Sea!”
Etc.
We are being set, like wind up toys, to tear each other apart and ourselves apart. my own head has been filled with so many slogans and so much hate for you by so many different people no matter who you are.
We are all in this low grade revolution.
And it will be reset today by algorithms you didn’t program, filled by speeches you didn’t write, amplified by accounts you don’t know are bot farms, directed by political strategists whose names you do not know, undoing action you would never have taken in ways you would never agree to directed by famous people you don’t know personally.
@real_gtk There is no such ethnic group as "scandinavian". Your claim is as facile, jouvenile, and fallacious as Putin's insistence that Ukraine and Russia are "one people"
@RealVMcmaximus@esrtweet@dela3499 You're speaking along a different dimension. Yes, uncertainty in and of itself introduces costs and a margin of error. But in terms of their estimates of your military, you want the mean of that margin of error to be as high as possible so you can extract concessions for free.
@esrtweet@dela3499 No. That is extremely costly and pointless. It isn't guaranteed the benefit is more than that very high cost. It is worth far more if your adversary knows how much power you have so that you can extract concessions from them FOR FREE.
@ThomasEWoods@Cernovich Property rights should be respected, and in a free society if a large polity tries to steal multitrillion dollars of assets you better bet your ass the mcnukes are coming out. Kidnapping maduro loosely mirrors the real free market outcome.
@petergklein When the talking heads on CNN, or Venezuela or Russia's spokespeople are complaining about violations of international law, they mean exactly the former fiat institutions and not natural law-type IL.
