I mean I read the book so I already knew that Starship Troopers was a satirical work, but there's plenty of people who looked at Starship Troopers and thought that it was a future that humans should strive towards.

NYS PL 240.26, harrassment in the second degree is considered a violation, not a crime and includes


Florida law states:


So, in New York if I slap you in the face but don't cause injury, that's merely Harassment, which is a violation and is not even an arrestable offense unless committed in the presence of a officer. (under NYS penal law, violations rank under misdemeanors and felonies and you can't arrest someone for a violation not occuring in your presence).

Florida statues state mere physical contact against your will is battery, a misdemeanor, and a previous battery conviction makes it a felony.

Florida: possible felony
New York: you probably can't even get arrested for it.

Before you go slapping the poo poo outta people in New York do note that if the victim complains of "substantial pain" or you leave a mark, that's assault 3 and we've entered misdemeanor territory.

Every state has multiple definitions of murder.

Murder by cop (not murder)
Murder by white person (regular murder)
Murdered by a minority (super murder unless against another minority — then lol what murder?)
Murdered by an immigrant (BUILD THE WALL murder)

So what I'm hearing from the last two pages is whack anybody who calls for a lynching, and just ignore the white noise. Correct?

EBB, that's solid policy. I got a 6'er but sometimes I iust like to post nonsense and be a rapscallion

Let the white noise be. It will find a happy median after a page or two. I agree with the no calling for vigilante justice on bad cops rule.

Feel free to hand out surprise sixers for egregiously poo poo hot takes though.

Eh, whatever, I'm just gonna be over here in my luxurious 36 square meter Munich apartment posting without asking for "xyz to be literally killed / lynched / etc." regarding some current event, I think I'll be good. Wasn't too much effort to begin with



Regarding the white power thing, now that I fully understand where the trend came from, I don't see how it's even a big problem. If this were the thumbs-up, it'd probably be a different discussion, but it's not. No one outside of loving divers or people describing how good food they are currently consuming is, uses that drat gesture.
That leaves two groups of people:

a) Racists that picked up that it's now cool to flash that gesture to signal to other racists that they're good people while thinking NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW BECAUSE IT MEANS 'OKAY' LOL
b) Right-wingers that read about the origin of this dumb trend from alt-right sources thinking they're "just trolling" liberals and are okay with being mistaken for racists

gently caress the both of them. Easy enough
