But mostly I just hate the thought of rolling mafia and having to read a bunch of shit and scramble for a decent fake claim.
Agreed. This is why most of the time as mafia, I just claim my real character. If I get caught because of theme analysis, the game was fucked anyway

I think we'll see an increase in sociopathic behavior because of the mask wearing, and school closings result in higher incidences of child abuse. So I do feel bad for this next generation

Syria, Somalia, Myanmar. Libya, Afghanistan, CAR
All areas that rank low on the economic freedom index. An index that ranks countries based on the amount of government over reach is present.
You're going back 30 years to find an example
I guess if we wait long enough murdering children becomes okay. There was a drone strike on civilians that was all over the news a few months ago.
A couple of years ago social services became aware of a boy named Gabriel Gonzalez being abused and ignored it, allowing his parents to kill him. The same agency also has a record of taking children from parents, in cases where it shouldn't have happened, and placing them in abusive environments.
We have a prison system where too many poor people are locked up for minor drug infractions and become unable to make above minimum wage due to their record. This causes them to be put in situations where it is highly tempting to do illegal things, to make ends meet. When this is done they go to prison and they are not rehabilitated, instead they build networks of underworld Contact's and their loss of skill from prison time makes a life of crime more likely. This also leaves a lot of fatherless homes and kids growing up in terrible environments, conducive to poverty and creating even more criminals with no life.
I Don't need to go back to show the government being evil. I just picked the most disgusting example I could think of.
rather than comparing results with any other form of government or lack thereof
Being the best in a world that is shit, is not good enough. I don't want the best. I want an end to suffering and injustice.
sooner be resolved than accurate" as I said of conservative thinking
This is stupid. There is a wide variety of conservative thought and my opinions only reflect me. Not many if any have my style of thinking, and I know liberals who think along similar lines to me in terms of what you choose to criticize about my thought process. In fact, I was a liberal with similar thoughts as to what you choose to insult.
When George Bush was in office, I was a liberal. I voted for John Kerry, I also voted for Obama his first election. Then I voted McCain and Trump. So that is 8 years of voting liberal, followed by 12 years of voting conservative.
2 liberal candidates and 2 conservative ones.

You are anti-establishment but your motivations are personal, not political
Maybe, I have seen the establishment hurt a lot of people. I am the last of my concerns. I have seen them harm a ton of children. Innocent children. Not stuff I watched on Waco or things like that where they literally burned kids alive, but in person up close and personal, I have seen them hurt children.
The fact you want to increase the size and scope of an institution that does that is disgusting.

@RationalMadman
I do not think it really occurred and I do not think the cops are racist to white people.
So you are saying this would automatically make the cops anti-white, if it is true? Please explain why.
What could explain the arrest of the woman?What happened before I got there?Both of these have the same answer; how the fuck would we know?
Because I asked "What could" not "What does"
If you were reliably strong enough to do that, yes. Otherwise, you were justified to engage violently in defense of the woman if you feared that coming in passive could lead to him knocking you out or brutally attacking you. However, you kept assaulting him after he released her and was hurt by you already, to 'teach him a lesson' which is directly illegal and constituted aggravated assualt even if it began defensively.
It's only unethical to go that far if I misjudged the situation

@Double_R
The title of your thread says “I just saw some reverse racism”. If you don’t want people getting caught up in the validity of your claims then you should keep them out of your title.
It's called click bait. You aren't meant to take the title seriously. It's like reading newspaper headlines.
"Can this new drug cure aids"
Anybody who has read a newspaper headline before, knows when something starts with a question the the answer is always a no, but it gets people reading a boring story of an experimental drug.

The Biden administration is putting their conclusions out there as a message to the Kremlin that we know what they’re up to
If it was a message to the kremlin and not a pretext for war delivered to the American people, why was this handled publicly instead of with a phone call?

The woman almost certainly had outstanding warrants.

@Double_R
Let’s just assume that after hours of working to concoct some story that makes sense we come up with nothing… now what? What can we conclude from this?
It takes 5 minutes to examine my thinking concerning the situation I saw.
My main concerns are that I harmed an innocent person by perceiving things wrong. In order to avoid a mistake in the future that could cause harm, I am merely asking for analysis on the events I saw and took part in.
For example, was I wrong for punching a guy for choking a woman. Should I have ignored this situation and just have walked away? Would it have been more ethical to separate them, but do it less violently?
More importantly, what could explain why the woman would be arrested considering what I witnessed, just one reasonable scenario is what I need, and that just requires some creativity I lack. Why does everyone here, get lost and tangled up in the auxillary information I provided.
How about this thought exercise. Let's assume everyone in the story is white. What could explain the results and what actions should I have taken?

Let's assume this was real. What is your interpretation of the situation. What could explain the arrest of the woman? What happened before I got there? I assumed all parties were strangers, were they really connected in some other way? What context am I missing here? SHould I have just seperated him from the woman instead of attacking, especially if through some weird way he was the victim?

I just saw some reverse racism, if there is such a thing.
So I walk into pizza hut and sit at a table. At the front of the restaurant as I walk in, I see this black guy and white guy fighting. Both probably in their mid 50s. I figure somebody maybe cut somebody in line, and it was no big thing. They weren't really hurting each other because neither had fighting skills, so I just got between the two guys and told them to cut it the fuck out.
I felt good about myself and I brought a peaceful resolution. I sat down and was ordering my food, when I look up and the black guy, has the dude he was just fighting's wife by the throat. I go over and punch him in the face and just start beating him. I maybe get like 3 hits in, when a large black guy pulls me off of him and asks me what the fuck I'm doing. I said "He just randomly attacked that woman". He kinda of shakes his head. It pisses me off, but the guy has a swelled face and is bleeding all over the floor. Hopefully he learned his lesson about random unprovoked attacks on people.
Amazingly before I even get a chance to go to my chair, 4 police cruisers are already in the parking lot and they immediately split all the parties up and ask them questions. They cops are mostly black. They cuff the white woman and lead her away. I'm like WTF, she is the victim what is going on.
They threaten to arrest me, and call an ambulance for the black guy I attacked. He declined to press charges on me.
I saw this unprovoked attack. I know who was in the wrong, why did the black officers take the attacker's word for what was happening, and arrest the white woman? What type of bullshit story could he possibly have given them to take his side?

If you actually believed that the US was an oligarchy then why make a forum complaining about the lack of govt openness in affairs of State? Only democracies worry about that shit. Oligarchies control the media so they need never worry about govt openness.
Perhaps by being more open we can move to a more democratic form of government. A peaceful rebellion of sorts, though other forms should be on the table as well

That Putin is running false flag operations during the Russian invasion of Ukraine is a fact established in International Court and already punished with important sanctions on Putin from the EU, The Nederlands, and Australia.

In one case we have Republicans actively manufacturing fake evidence as a casus belli to trick Americans into supporting an unnecessary war with the result of more than 6300 dead US soldiers, more than 75,000 significantly injured and at the cost $2-3 trillion.In the other case we have Democrats refusing to reveal their intelligence sources to the press.
I think he asked for evidence the statement was true, not for the revealing of any source. The WMD incident, the state department had similar responses as of now. It's also absurd to say that all levels of government, start randomly behaving ethically, just because a Democrat has become ruler of America.
If I were you, I would start taking an equally critical eye towards people whose general ideologies you agree with, instead of just assuming that they are perfect and incapable of intentional or unintentional errors or mistakes.

We all remember when George Bush had the state department lie about weapons of mass destruction. Apparently some honorable reporters have still not forgotten and asked some tough questions when the state department started making public statements about Russia planning a false flag in the Ukraine.
Asked to provide proof, the government refuses and this is very reminiscent of the WMD DEBACLE.

We know that often people are different in their personal life than in their private life. Was Hitler too friendly to the jews? He risked underming his image as an antisemite, by being so friendly. Why did he do it?
Hitler loved Jews
Hitler had at least 10 Jewish Generals and 10,000 Jewish soldiers fighting for his regime. . If he really
viewed the Jews as anything other than a convenientscape goat, why did
he allow members to reach high levels in hismilitary and have top secret
clearances. Why did Hitler trust 10 Jewish Generals with classified
information if he was actually aracist?
Hitler had become friends with a young Jewish girl and her mother when he was in power.
This
friendship was ended when the Nazi party intervened, because it was
bad for his image. What a lot of people don’t understand about people in
positions of power even dictators.Even evil ones. They aren’t 100% in
control. Anybody who has a been in a position of power will agree. They
remain in power and capture power by pleasing many subsets of people. Why
did Itler becomebesties with this Jewish girl and her mother, even
autographing photos for them and inviting them to lots of events? I
encourageeveryone to look at the pictures to see how happy Hitler is
with thisyoung Jewish girl.
Hitler had a family doctor when he was growing up that was Jewish. The doctor’s name was Edourd Bloch. He ordered Nazis to guard the entire family and never harm them.
In Hitler's personal life, he tends to love every single Jew he meets and there are no reported problems with any of them.

Some of you have probably noticed a small influx of new members. I want you to give some thought into how to interact with them. The purposes of your interactions should aim for 2 things. This will ensure they are integrated into the board and not taking over the board when they do outnumber us. It will also make sure that they stick around. Method one for communication is what helps them to log on a 2nd time. Method two is how they get integrated properly.
step 1.
Love bomb all new members. Make them feel welcome. Nothing is more infuriating than screaming into the abyss. When they arrive and they are brave enough to post, go out of your way to contribute to their threads. Interact with their posts, even if that means you have to play devil's advocate by disagreeing with a truism they are trying to promote, due to the fact all normies strawman their political adversaries. Friend request them. Ask them questions.
step 2
Our God on this site needs to be locic, and critical thinking. Our God commands an attitude that supports freedom of speech, so we can speak plainly and clearly without the need for euphemisms, or hiding our true premises. We love this God of reason so much that we are willing to go to war with him. Our arena is debates. If you argue with somebody in a thread, go challenge them in the arena to expose the flaws in their reasoning. The point is not to be right. You should never argue to be correct, but only to selflessly expose the poor reasoning skills of your opponents. If they agree with you, than they can agree for the right reasons. If they disagree with you than you will persuade them to stop believing stupid shit. This is the method by which we will train noobs to keep with and help mold the proper site culture.
Make your God happy, and train up new worshippers

That's happening in your own head and not on the page. I included the actual language in my first post: "favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities" No camps were implied. Most governments currently quarantine people in hotels.
This is just semantics again. I am calling them camps. You might not agree with my rhetoric, especially if they are placed in hotels, but it means the same thing. I don't see why it would be hotels though, that could as easily be accomplished by them staying in their bedroom and having a relative leave food outside their door.
that was not a question Rasmussen asked and I'm confident that if the question had been shall we put all the unvaccinated in concentration camps (as you falsely assert) the positive response would have been significantly smaller
Obviously. The government when they do these things wouldn't promote them as concentration camps, or internment camps. Even your language of designated facility wouldn't be used. That is not how you sell the ideal of putting a large segment of the population in cordoned off areas. You use flowery language. Have you read 1984?
They would call these areas something like "Freedom zones" . Here is how it would work in practice
1. businesses and public places become off limits to un vaccinated
2. media notices that the unvaccinated have less access to goods and are suffering
3. politicians come up with the "Freedom plan" This way the people can stay voluntarily unvaccinated while getting the services they need. These unvaccinated will be allowed to volunatrily move to freedom zones, and once they move to those large geographic regions, they won't be able to leave until they agree to vaccination.
4. Both moderate republicans and all democrats will get behind the freedom zone plan
They won't sell the shit as a scary thing, When Sarah Palin brought up death panels, if Obama won, she was laughed at. Talking about the same thing, but with less scary rhetoric, academics are seriously talking about bringing in healthcare rationing boards. A lot of stuff gets lost in translation, by rhetoric being taken too seriously, Both the flowery and the scary language are used to describe the same thing.

I think it is pretty rational to not let them ride in amusement parks, buses, etc.
It's understandable to be cautious there. The issue would be government mandating businesses for public health reasons, when it should be up to the amusement park, how much risk they wanted to take in this regard

The pursuit of radical life extension is a worthwhile cause. While I do have some reservations as to the way, Biden's cabinet will work towards reducing cancer deaths and fighting cancer, the fact he is putting a lot of effort into it, is a good thing and something that should have been done 20 years ago or more. We need to get behind it, in the way we got behind putting a man on the moon.
Cancer and heart failure, are the two biggest impediments to radical life extension. If you live long enough, and take good care of your health, cancer and heart failure is still unavoidable. This effort of Biden's will save lives.
In fact he has made impacts to save a lot of lives already with vaccine mandates. While I think he should have made PSA's and not mandates, his presidency has been one that has focused a lot on increasing the average lifespan of people.
Increasing my life expectancy is something I can get behind. Thank you BIden
