Trump voters hating him? I think I might take you up on that bet.

I think that the health insurance industry is profoundly immoral.
When it comes to strategy, however, morality doesn't even factor in.
If you had the incoming US president's ear for a half hour, what would you want to make sure he understands?
Since the US is headed for 4 years of a made-for-tv style society, I guess this slots right in.

This smells like the second amendment argument about defending against a tyrannical government. Please, take inventory of materiel and finances before you go down that road.
I would argue there's another deep hypocrisy lying with people who insist such figureheads should be killed, but the only action they take is blathering about it on public forums.
Be the change you seek, go set an example if you think you know what's right.
But pitting us against the ruling class in this way isn't going to be a winning proposition. The best you'll get is a massive and severe security clampdown.
Interesting, are you recruiting me to do something specific with you? Or should we just keep discussing how it's immoral not to do violence on an extremely public forum?
I don't know if it's morals, I just don't have the stomach for violence. That's kind of a weird thing to say to a person anyway.
It should go without saying that such violence is not good and not supportable.
I am not celebrating. It's a tragedy, even if a predictable one. We'll all do better with a little more cooperation and a lot less greed.
I don't like it when people die, or get maimed.
If I say that I can understand how something like this happens, it's not out of sympathy for the murderer. It's just an accounting of facts amidst the fact that billions of people exist so obviously someone is going to be willing to kill for their perceived injustices. Especially when injustices are a lot more concrete than abstract.
It should go without saying that such violence is not good and not supportable.
That said, I also think those who make monopolistic fortunes off the sick while also dictating refusal of care to the sick are categorically not civilians. It is what it is.
Some music gear got stolen from my van parked in my driveway.
I called the cops the next day, they came over and took a report and told me nothing ever gets recovered.
Then I called around the music shops to report serial numbers and stuff. Within a day I got most of my equipment back, especially the expensive parts.
But the cop who took my report for some reason was tasked with doing the recovery from the second hand store, and he was really mad about it.
That was about 12 years ago, and since then I have come to the conclusion that I would only deploy police in conditions where I would be willing to deploy lethal force which is almost never, and ideally probably never.
Now do factory farmers
Oh ok cool, let's get right on that then.
Oh I don't know, the Budweiser stock hit endured pretty lengthy after being advertised by a non-redneck.
Maybe. But if there were 10000 sent and 500 responses, that still isn't enough information. You would need to know how many were even handled and perceived by the intended recipient.
But maybe you can work around this by canvasing in person rather than fire and forget.
Agpl removed!
COVID "lockdown skeptic" sounds extremely quaint at this point.
Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions)
Would a brigade effort to "engage" with Trump ads in streaming services force the campaign to waste extra money, and make a viable psyop when they measure their telemetry?

What are your favorite trade-specific or otherwise niche podcasts that are not necessarily intended for mass consumption?
What's an example of good people doing good things, which is not an act of harm reduction or mitigating some kind of evil?
