You call it a Christian Nationalist flag and MOST people do not register the threat.

And that's the purpose. To make this heinous thing seem less of a problem than it is.

You call it a traitor flag or an insurrecutionist flag ( which it originated as) and the problem is clear and unambiguous.

Don't dont these traitorous fucks any favors, k?

A more on the nose example...

The US Department of Defense, prior to World War II was known as...the War Department.

Do you see how the first description could be misapplied (purposely) and the second one is abundantly fucking clear?

"With the advent of smart phones and text-message shorthand, language is morphing into something less recognizable each day. It is becoming foreign while still being vaguely familiar enough for us to get the gist of what someone else is saying."

Difficult to get verifiable numbers but anywhere from 100K TO ~600K Iraqi civilians are estimated to have been killed by US Forces during the second War in Iraq.

When soldiers are killing this many non-combatants you gotta wonder what the wars are really about.

I think most people would spend more time doing things that made them happy as opposed to making money if they could.

And of course there's gonna be a clever clever lad that says "What if making money makes someone happy" get your clever ass away from me

Y'know...I really used to think that the weight of being wrong in light of bulletproof evidence would change people's minds about pretty much anything.

It doesn't. It really doesn't.

And I think that's because on some level people identify so deeply with the things that they believe that to change their mind in light of new evidence feels like some sort of betrayal instead of a logical step.

Avg home price in the US?

Over $400K. Almost half a million dollars, on average, for a home. Fantastic.

What's the median annual income for a full-time worker in the US?

Less than $50K.

@inthehands No worries. Not really looking for validation on this. Just working backwards and re-examing events. I'm mostly thinking on Mastodon and using the screen as brain proxy. You just happen to be privy to my thoughts right now.

Couldn't figure out why he came in out of nowhere to steal the candidacy from Warren and Sanders...it's so Trump would have a weaker opponent to face. That's why the delay in all of his trials. They mean to do it. Really.

We're fucked and I'm not saying that as a joke or anything. They're not going to stop until there's war here. Subversive symbols that they've been flying for years and no one said anything.

Now I'm thinking with the news that many cop leaders know that they have OathKeepers and 3%ers in their ranks and arent going to do anything about it...where are the marching orders coming from?

Ah yes. Let me try to get close to your children, Moose Mother. I know you are as tall as I am at the shoulder and outweigh me by several hundred pounds but whats the risk?

Oh hey! Is that a Bear Mother and her cubs? Be right back!

It's not just one sci-fi writer's worst nightmare; the worst parts of EVERY sci-fi property are converging to make this the most annoyingly stupid dystopia imaginable.

The good news is, the AI will probably always be too buggy to reach Skynet level.

The bad news is, these fuckers are going to try and make Skynet.
