    You cannot reason with animals. They don’t understand the fundamental logic required to arrive at a non-violent peaceful conclusion.

    Hell… even animals know this.

      A democrat asked ICE barbie, sadly this did not come from above, and based on the response I expect they’ll ignore him.

      edit: They told him to fuck off, the posted pictures of their agents driving around in unmarked vans, wearing halloween masks. Fucking hell.

        Exactly.

        For the Fascists, the ones they see as lesser are pretty much sub-human and to be treated as vermin, and they have no more empathy for the younger “vermin” than they have for the adult “vermin”.

        Just look at Nazi Germany and Zionist Israel for very obvious examples of how for these people the children of the “lesser” races aren’t really human and get targetted same as all the other members of the ethnicities they literally call “vermin”.

        If these people were both capable of empathy and unable to block their empathy on a per-ethnicity basis, they wouldn’t be Fascists.

    Please remove law enforcement from the streets so our children are safe. My town growing up had no police within 30 min drive and we were fine. We dont need them.

    Ive never trusted cops, even back when they came to my school as a kid. They had that stranger with candy vibe, like they’re being too nice. People are only too nice in the moment if they think their other actions (past, present, or future) would scare people off.

    Priests and cops. Never trust em.

          it is. it’s a “first world” nation where the healthcare of you and your family is directly tied to your place of employment. it’s a “first world” nation where mass shootings are the norm and there’s an insanely strong refusal to do anything about it. It’s a “first world” nation where you’re actively discouraged from seeking assistance from the government and in doing so is a sign of weakness. It’s a “first world” nation where the citizens taxes will go more towards military spending as opposed to infrastructure.

          There’s nothing “first world” about the united states of america. It’s a country built on a system that was designed to prevent uprisings. If you protest constantly for change there’s the strong likely hood that you’ll lose your job, thus your healthcare, thus your ability to eat.

          It’s a guy wearing an uncle sam halloween costume with a nazi armband underneath.

      The US is forty or so 3rd world countries being held up by the remaining states that could reasonably function as first world countries themselves, except we’re all in a big trenchcoat and we have thousands of nukes and a fuck-off huge military. This place hasn’t been “one country” for a while now.
