@TheBrancaShow He wasn't physically threatening her. She escalated and provoked and it is not reasonable for her to claim her life was in danger based on the video. Not self defense. That's murder.
@ATLCWorker Who's 'they'? Go live in the jungle. You'll get no vacation or retirement.
The thing you seem to have a problem with is commonly referred to as 'reality'.
@PanSeikilos@Smoke_Ring_Halo@LeftyWinter Not the point. No one leaves the US to go to a socialist country. They may leave the US for other reasons, but not that.
On the other hand, lots of people flee socialist countries to come to the US, and many more wish they could but can't.
@michaelmalice I get the point you're making in theory. I still can't fathom it in practice. It's even more foreign to me than not having an inner monologue.
@liquid_lvr@aripari18@LeftyWinter Yes, but they built that portfolio over decades off of oil money and didn't touch that money for generations so it could grow to what it is today. Previous generations sacrificed to benefit their descendants today. You won't see anyone on the modern left willing to do that
@liquid_lvr@aripari18@LeftyWinter To the level to where it can support your whole country, yes. Norways large oil reserves can support it's small population. The US's oil reserves cannot support it's large population.
