Do you think they even realize that those arguments then carry water for the idea that the killing of Daunte Wright was fine and an actual mistake?

My first thoughts when people there started talking about how it was good the pig neutralized the threat were "man, sounds like we need more of these good guys with guns".

That thread's arguing for armed citizenry as well as defending cops.

I'm not sure if that's aimed at me but the people being brought up to think Socialism or a road to socialism is being built by voting for Joe Biden or that Karl Marx and Lenin would have loved Liz Warren I'm pretty comfortable calling not actually socialism. I'm personally entirely over thr concept of electoralism, but if there was an option to vote for a party that is socialist, and not merely reformist and would use whatever power they could to try and enact their legislation I would gladly vote for them. But people that just want you to vote for the Democrat Party aren't actually interested in building socialism, you can only have so many examples of the Democrat Party being hostile to socialism and changing every socialist that gets elected that thinking voting for them is going to build the Left is either so incredibly dumb you should be a ward of whatever private contractor the State has licensed to look after the mentally infirm, or you're not actually interested in building socialism

i don't understand what you're trying to say here with this butchery of language but you sound like a dipshit

the state doesn't have anyone look after "the mentally infirm" anymore and their lives are hard enough without being a weird totem in your political posturing

one of the things that routinely blows my mind about violence in policing statistics is how they will always, always paint a picture of policing as an insanely safe job but the pro-cop people have so little perspective about the world that they'll never compare it to census data and make the grim realization that it's more dangerous to do literally any other job

By far the most dangerous part of being a cop is driving around a lot

I think what breaks these people’s brains is that for a certain segment of the PMC meritocracy is actually a real thing up to a point. If you are useful to your boss you get rewarded and pulled up the ranks. It’s certainly true in my case at least (I’m PMC trash btw. Feel free to purge me when the revolution comes).

What they fail to see though is that the rules of this bubble don’t apply either at the bottom of the ladder (where most jobs are dead ends) or at the top (where people can succeed because they have a lot of money to throw around). Capitalists in particular operate on a set of rules completely alien to most people who can’t fathom one’s “job” just being buying companies so you can sit on them and rake in profits off the top.

The barriers to entry for third parties are incalculably more extreme than even an outright communist running in a Democratic primary. It doesn't help that no one who pines for leftist third parties is actually doing anything to make them happen... with the only exception I can think of being the WFP, who aren't far left, but are certainly better than average Democrats. I really do get the skepticism of electoralism, but I don't get singling it out. I think it makes more sense to be skeptical of virtually everything that can lead to any progress because this is a hell country in a hell world. Electoralism is a tool for progress that has basically the same slim chance of progress as virtually anything else (and I'd estimate just about nothing will work).

I tuned in for a couple minutes and bounced after Destiny said the democratic party was based in socialism and that they aren't responsible for helping dismantle the New Deal. Also, his chat followers were posting a never ending chorus of "omegalul" and "ok boomer" every time Wolff was speaking.

Before this my only experience with Destiny was when he said he hoped that right wing paramilitary groups started slaughtering BLM activists at their protests because BLM was hurting Bidens chances of winning against Trump.
