A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.

@KonstantinKisin@genuine_m_ Floyd had a fatal dose of fentanyl in his system, covid and obstructive heart disease. He was saying he couldn’t breathe even before he was knelt on. The conviction of Chauvin was almost certainly political expediency to avoid further rioting.
@ivin_hlomoney@GBNEWS@Benleo What, white people started slavery? Are you that pathetically ignorant ? There is a thing called the internet where you can research the history of slavery.
The very first job of a police officer is to approach an active scene with *scepticism* as to any claim being made by anyone there. This is basic stuff. Drunk troublemakers don’t usually claim to have been stabbed, and if they do, this must be treated with immediate assessment. Stab wounds can be hidden and not bleed. This was appalling woke policing
@Mcfly119@camolNFT Without a doubt it they will sell some straps. Look at the orientation, it’s rotated 90 degrees. On a strap it will be in the correct position with the crown at 3 o clock.
@lesstenny All these things were not exclusively due the left, many were due to competition during labor shortages. A minimum wage harms individuals and the economy. This is a well proven aspect of economic reality.
