The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

A Good Guy with a Gun posted:

Another user, posting as flowrie, theorized that the backlash generated by the open carry movement, which was itself driven by the gun rights group Open Carry Texas (OCT), was so spectacular that it may as well have been an opposition plot. “OCT has hurt much more than helped. I insist on carrying when taking my young son and wife to the movies, but that is now becoming more difficult. I do not really oppose OC, but the way they went about it was unwise and just down right ignorant. I too wonder if some of them are anti-2A [Second Amendment]. If I were anti-2A, that’s how I would do it.”

What stage of grief is this? Rationalization or self-bargaining? To be honest I still hold out hope that Trump is actually a far-left LIEberal and this whole thing is just a way of showing the world what the GOP is really about.

Antifascist demonstrators would have to show their faces, which could be potentially dangerous: neo-Nazi groups have been known to use facial recognition software and other tactics to identify counter-protesters, acquire personal information and subject those identified to further harassment.

In Texas (and other at-will states AFAIK) you don't even need an argument. They can fire you for literally no reason and that exact wording is in every employment contract you will ever sign. But it's totally fair because you can also quit at any time for any or no reason, because a person finding a job and a business filling a job are completely equal in every way right guys :thumbsup:

What I love is that they call this the "right to work" law.

That's some amazing spin. As in, you don't have the right to work!

If they're gonna be butthurt about a vidyagame they should be mad at Farcry 5, which is straight up set in modern day America with gun-nut alt-right groups as the enemy.

Having a video game set in alternate history where you shoot cyber-nazis seems very tame by comparison! :haw:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-14/barnaby-joyce-is-a-new-zealand-citizen-nz-government-confirms/8804620

Australian Nationals asshat and (sadly) Deputy Prime Minister confirmed to be a citizen of New Zealand at the world possible time...

(2 Greens senators with dual citizenships both stood down voluntarily immediately, followed by a Nationals senator who argued it was his mother's fault and One Nation crackpot Malcolm Roberts who simply believes he doesn't and that is enough to prove his innocence.
The chances of Joyce doing the right thing and stepping down amongst two conservative senators with no integrity is low, but it's at least somewhat amusing to watch them squirm.)

Yeah, isn't right to work really "you have the right to work without having to join a relevant union"? Which obviously fucks over the unions (and by extension, worker protections).

Yes actually. Pretty much all of the rational/alt-right types think that YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook open public forums and that they have a right to use them. They also think that free speech means that you must be free to say anything and not suffer any consequences, public or private, for it.

They think the First Amendment applies to everyone, rather than just the government, and thus they can sue or attack private businesses for censoring them or discontinuing business with them for being awful people.
