thefncrow posted:You could completely ignore Occupy and you still have a level of police violence toward left-wing protests, ones that do not last for much longer than the right-wing protests I'm using as comparisons. Occupy was a deviation from the norm itself though. edit: ^^^^^^ we can make third parties happen with the power of believing!

American government as a whole (Federal down to municipal level) is the smallest its been in forever and the only result is services suffer, not be more efficient.

I think the number is actually largely flat between Bush and Obama for federal employment, but cities and states have cut back a lot. edit: also in my experience in public service the ones who wring their hands over cutting employment and hiring freezes and slashing pensions and how we must do these things to be serious sober adults are usually the highest paid public servants and/or got their six figure + severance package lined up to go double dip by being rehired as a consultant Berke Negri fucked around with this message at 01:51 on May 6, 2014 |

Anti-nukeism is almost kind of understandable as nuclear anything elicits terrifying imagery but seriously, by not pursuing nuclear power more we've been reduced to "clean coal" and fracking so the fruits of thy labor of the anti-nuclear power movement aren't inspiring.

nutranurse posted:I dunno how someone who thinks nuclear power is dangerous could turn around and support fracking. Probably they don't know what fracking is or have a poor grasp of it or are in the fracking industry. I don't think there's a direct connection in support. In the mindset of the anti-nuclear activist fracking is another troubling facet of energy generation. But its like "oh god, now we're FRACKING for our energy, why can't we just power everything on solar"
