I completely believe that they were failing.

Question is how bad will the PsyOps and interference get? Without them?

Palmetto State Armory is a huge business. It's like saying Costco is the choice purveyor of moms raising mass shooters and that CVS is the choice purveyor of personal care products and racist Christmas decor to white nationalist mass shooters. I'm sure Amazon would support this sort of PsyOp.

Nooooooo!!! Stitcher shut down, and Spotify actively hates people who listen to podcasts from computers. Any recommendations?

Not "while we're at it" - RCV is the real change we need.

The takeaway is to never hire people from EA into decision making roles.

Woah, only USD 12 for a GENUINE fake cracked copy someone first downloaded from a torrent?

Never take tech advice from someone who hasn't removed the device manufacturers advertisement from their email signature

And Republicans were only abrasive until Regan made it legal for news agencies to lie to people. Evil takes many forms, not all of which are so overt as a horde of useful idiots storming Congress. There are masses of useful idiots earnestly believing they're doing good every day because someone they trust told them something that in turn was told them by someone they trust.

The latter, corporations sponsor both our major political parties and are at the root of both dumb Republicans and misguided Democrats. Different corporations, different reasons in each individual case, but like bacteria all wiggling around randomly it's moving like one big infection on society.

Thank God they're exempt from any gun control laws, and that defending yourself against these sweet angels in blue carries a massive mandatory sentence! You wouldn't want some sadistic fucks go around hurting people then having the legal system protect them!! Oh, wait...

If the true goal of organizations advocating against civilian gun ownership (and publishing statistics you cite) were to save lives then educators, in recognition of the fact that about half of households own at least one firearm, would actually ensure children could at least make a gun safe (properly unload) instead of the abstinence approach that is taught today in every school.

I have advised several people AGAINST buying firearms for self defense, Knowing they would not train adequately to become proficient. Guns are not a blanket solution, but a baseball bat or knife? By any unskilled user? Like two 200-300 pound dudes breaking down the door of a 100 pound person whose never received martial arts training would be better off with a bat? That is hilarious and absurd. With that being said it's a much lower bar to get proficient enough with a firearm that one can handle it safely and stand a good chance of defending themselves against even multiple attackers. As for the statistical dangers yes but two things: zero guns obviously means zero gun suicides, and if your objective is to produce quickly communicable punch lines, it's easy to manipulate statistics to suit your aims - virtually every number used by people who favor complete civilian disarmament is cherry picked once you dig down into to sources and see what is included and excluded from those figures.
