I often feel that way about abstract and modern art…. because I generally don’t like it, not because it isn’t art. Much of it is uncomfortable, at which point I know for a certainty that I must sit with it and confront my discomfort. Which… is the very nature if art.

Stop avoiding calling yourself a liberal too.

They are also pretty notorious for poorly redacting pdfs.

So…. They didn’t even properly redact the files?

Is the UK saying “here, hold my pint” to the US?

Flex nibs are next! Nibs are binary: either thick lines or thin.

All of law enforcement is about to record their celiac condition. (Celiac is no joke.)

Why weren’t they arrested for the photo in Red Square. That shit’s illegal…. (Don’t) ask how I know this.

It’s a 5YP. Which means we can foil it like a 5YP.

Expectations are not the point. Documentation and testimony is.

Why are you assuming this is an either or?

Hmmm, it’s almost like we saw this coming.

Yes, and it is the same issue here, and we also cannot punish 30-60%. That is why I said we need to address the root cause. There will always be people who like authoritarianism. Building resilient institutions an participatory populations help this. Apathy is a death knell.

This.

And what are Germans doing about AdF? These parties are rising for a reason, and they will keep rising unless we address the root causes, not the people themselves. If you only punish the people and the symbols they will keep cropping up.

I don’t disagree, and I think we should have done the same thing Germany did after WW2 wrt Nazi symbolism after the Civil War. But they didn’t, and we will need to decide what to do now.

Not to mention most progressives were raised by them … and got out. We already heard you; we know.

4/ but without that reflection they are mostly just stuck in loss and survival mode. While it is not an excuse, it does explain why the numbers seem so big. There are many problems with our current system. But to fix them will take acknowledgement, sustained effort, and commitment.

A core of his supporters are just hateful and like thus, yes, but far more of that “half” keep seeing [fill in minority group/not them] get ahead and don’t understand why they can’t. They often lack education or opportunity or self reflection, and they are often voting against themselves.

They act like it’s half the country, but only about 31% voted for him. 30% stayed home. Punishing those who give the orders and the leaders of those who follow them usually does the job. 3/

Or Pinochet. There are other examples as well. Some of them weren’t executed, but losing the power they created and watching it collapse is a significant punishment to a person who wants power. 2/

It takes commitment and sustained effort, but history suggests they do get punishment. Have you never heard of Hitler, Franco, or Mussolini? Or their regimes?

I’ll go in with you on a goat or a sheep - if we do it right we can add catering.

Plus there are other protests in Annapolis, Rockville and Silver Spring which were likely to pull from that population as well.

Following an illegal order is illegal.
