My hot take, the PNW is better than non-PNW sections of the US because we didn't vote for Trump, thus proving our moral and intellectual superiority for all time fart

Rules.

I went to the Emergency rally/march, it didn't seem especially well organized, and needed a better megaphone, but was a pretty good showing for how quickly it was put together.

You were at the rally too? I had to man a table but it was interesting how the people started marching without waiting for the organizers to tell them to march or whatever. I admire their initiative and consider it rather poor planning on the part of the organizers to have overloaded the event with too much talking and not enough demonstration.

I was wondering what was going on with that. I stayed to listen to the speakers, and then the small crowd that hadn't left marched down to Pike Place Market, no idea where everyone else went.

Or did you forget how conservatives still make a point to try and blame democrats for slavery whenever they can get away with it? Maybe you're just too precious to realize that parties flip sometimes..? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVS24wqgeEM

Are you... arguing that democrats are going to try to secede from the union because they did back before the parties switched sides? Because that argument makes no sense, and is bad. Which is why I was doubting that was a serious post.

Gross. There is a pro Trump rally in Oly on the 4th and the MAGAs are planning on 'packing heat' to protect themselves from 'violent liberals' this is how the civil war starts, not trump, not bannon, these idiots in the streets believing fake news and shooting unarmed activists.

Sorry, going to pull a coyo7e and ask for a source on this one, I put up a warning and some idiots I know are losing their minds about the lack of citation and I'd dearly love to shut them up with a link.

It is basically a non-profit that provides services to the dis-advantaged and also provides a homeless camp, from what I understand.

What happens when more people hear about it, come to Portland, and overwhelm the system?

Senor P. posted:

There is only a couple of immediate solutions to this. One is you start rounding people up. Two you have home owners 'volunteer' to build a small 1 bedroom flat in their back yard.

The first is not morally acceptable. The second people are'nt going to want to have some weirdo wee-a-boo living with them.

gently caress no! If I wanted to live in Oregon or Idaho, I'd move there. Property taxes and utility costs have gone up considerably in the area I live in. Yall can pass a Seattle/Tacoma tax if you want.

Seeing as how I paid approximately 20% of that in federal tax, I don't think it is an issue.

Why should I pay the same tax when I work over time? (Before I moved I was routinely worked 60-70 hours a week for the last 2 years.) Compared to some techie yuppie that works in Seattle?

Why should I pay X% or more in state tax?
-I live on the East side, I deal with my local issues. Seattle can deal with theirs.
-Taxing people more does not seem to have California's problems. How will it solve Washingtons?
-Utilities costs have regularly gone up. Raises have not.

If they want to raise taxes, they can raise the sales tax or raise the gas tax.

You just get worse and worse holy poo poo.

Never is good. A civil war would economically cripple the United States plus there are things like how the hell all of our bombed out poo poo isgoing to get re-built. If you want to make a difference, get into politics.

Pretty much all countries I can remember that have had recent civil wars have wound up being hosed. (South Sudan, Angola, Congo, Thailand, China, etc). South Korea and Vietnam might be an exception due to how much money was injected into their economies but it still took.... 30-40 years to recover.

You want to go sacrifice what others are already putting down just to eek out a living for the next generation? Their own kids?

If you truly think civil war is the answer, I don't know what else to say.

Yeah we should let police and nazis terrorize and kill people who disagree with them politically because heaven forbid we economically cripple the united states! Forget about all the people living in poverty while working multiple full time jobs, we can't risk the poor middle class homeowners prosperity!

So what we can learn from this? If you're white and want to be violent you can do so and win, but if you're brown and you're non-violent you lose. Which I guess is being reflected in this thread, trying to justify our current way of life as if it can't be changed without the death of countless people or the rise of an even worse regime.

I just don't understand why we can't have a functioning society, did other socialist democracies have to have a violent revolution to get where they're at? What's the history in places like Sweden and Norway? I'm sure they weren't always like that, why can't we move in that direction? Why are some of you so adamant about preserving the status quo? I guess life is probably pretty good for you, so much that you're willing to just accept that hundreds of people are being killed by police each year and that families are going hungry and into debt because they can't afford access to healthcare and other basic services.

Letter from Birmingham Jail By Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., 16 April 1963

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

you know there are tasers that you can use from a distance, like a gun, that does not kill them, and you don't have to worry about being cut by the person because they are at a distance, as if you had used a gun, but used a taser, which didn't kill them.
