My earliest (or one of) memory is of me when. I was 6 with a steak knife pointed at my jugular crying and trying to will up the courage to do it.

Things I did not improve greatly from there. I remember very little of my childhood or really any part of my life. Bits and pieces here and there.

Guys, I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but I think I might be depressed.

I’m frothing at the mouth because it’s distorted, making an easy comparison by visuals impossible. The numbers don’t match the size of the pies

See paragraph 2.

Hmm… How shall we win these votes from the lower class? Should we listen to their complaints and plights? Should we come up with ideas that resonate with the populace and excites them so they actually want to come out to vote for us rather than it being a feeling of obligation?

No. Let’s not do any of that, let’s just take bribes from the rich and do whatever they say. Then we can blame the left for being uninspired by our outrageous greed!

You realize there is a difference between ‘popular’ and ‘implemented,’ right?

Popular opinion has virtually no impact on policy, unless you’re rich. This article describes the relationship.

“Not only do ordinary citizens not have uniquely substantial power over policy decisions, they have little or no independent influence on policy at all."

Why did you bring up China? Wasn’t involved in the conversation, doesn’t qualify as a communist nation, hasn’t claimed to be for a while actually.

Sure China has done some impressive things but those two “weak-ass” arguments you brought up are neither weak nor small. China is an authoritarian state that abuses its people. You could unfortunately say that about many counties though.

I’d argue a good 50% deserves exactly what this guy got. I don’t feel bad for pieces of garbage (re: any cop) and don’t care what you think about it. They can all eat shit.

Cops? No, never.

I find it amusing you think Israel’s goal is to rescue the hostages. They really don’t give a shit. It’s an excuse to cleanse the land for future settlement. Simple as that.

A magical place… Thank you for gifting us all that mental image.

Honestly, this brings me comfort. Now I know for sure those parasites are dead, and not just on an island after faking their deaths and will sleep better. :)

But that’s not how it works. The police are owned by them. Unless you mean that they get out of control of anyone and then attack their old masters as well. But that seems like such a bad idea that I don’t know if even cops could be braindead enough to do that.

Sad but true. As the saying goes, when peaceful revolution becomes impossible, it’s no bueno.

The Israelis? Boy I hope so.

There need to be massive protests/riots about this shit. I’m talking about showing up on senators’ lawns with 10,000 or more people with guns (to keep police at a distance) or some shit. These people need to fucking FEAR US, the fucking voters or they will continue to rape our society out of existence.

They are joking. It’s a real picture.

You’re my kind of people.

It’s also helpful to remember that water boils at 100C and your body temp is about 36-37C. Helps me when I see the weather or something.

I’m plenty enraged for all of us, believe me. I’ve been seeing red for a fucking decade.

That being said, more rage please.

I do often daydream about what magical stories were told around campfires for those tens of thousands of years… How many Odyssian struggles did people endure? How many wars and conquests will we never even know the combatants existed, let alone what they were fighting about or how they did so.

There is endless mystery in our past and I wish we could see even a glimpse of it.
