He's doubling down on the Afghanistan War and the anti-fa is just as bad as Nazis poo poo, but anything else? I heard it wasn't that crowded so the MAGA Chuds are claiming the picture of a sports parade is actually the crowd asy his rally?

typically, it was a community affair. there'd be a sheriff or two, supported by (often unarmed) volunteer constables and a neighborhood watch. if poo poo really went down, the sheriff would round up a posse of volunteer helpers or call in the militia. in places where there was a particular problem, a detective agency would be hired

this was sufficient for dealing with violent crime, which wasn't all that common anyway. but since those systems were inherently designed to protect communities, they weren't very good at protecting the commerce and profits of rich industrialists, and they weren't a reliable bulwark against the social shifts caused by the Industrial Revolution and the rise of capitalism. so professional police forces started springing up with the objective of enforcing class divisions, protecting the property and infrastructure of the mega-rich, intimidating the increasingly-poor working class into submission, and cracking down on social movements that could potentially threaten the oligarchs' profits or position. in the American South they had the extra objective of enforcing racial divisions as well as class divisions

hmm, what sort of person would be disproportionately represented among volunteer constables and neighborhood watchmen

I liked the breezy "violent crime wasn't all that common anyway," which is definitely something that can be confidently stated about all historical periods prior to the industrial revolution without making people think you're a hilariously misinformed idiot.

You got super dumbs up in ya face if you think that's the post.

It was a Trump was last election's Obama post.
The Hope and Change being capitalized was the clue

And Obama won on hope and change because well, people want hope and change for the future if poo poo sucks, and poo poo sucked in 08 and poo poo sucked in 16.
If poo poo sucks you don't say poo poo don't suck, especially if you're literally following the politician playbook where you are expected to say one thing but mean another, not representing anyone but the elites who pay you.


Yes, Bernie played on Hope and Change too. If the General Election was Bernie vs Hillary, Bernie would've won hugely. He almost won the primary if not for the establishment working against him.
Practically anyone could beat the message (or lack thereof) of Hillary Clinton, and it's not because of the person presenting such a milquetoast (non)message.

Police forces need to exist and they need to be accountable under the same system of law that they are employed to uphold. As opposed to the current situation where certain types of citizen are fair game to be hunted and killed for sport.

Accountability under a system of law is what distinguishes a police force from a band of marauders.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I was actually a little let down since Cornell's voice is so raw on that one track, but thankfully he was back in fighting trim on the rest of the album.
