It doesn't really matter what the subject is, those that want to, will always find a cause to champion. Its inherent in their passion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that happens it will not be because of more people getting more rights. Just what existential threat do you think our civilization faces within 50 years?

Perhaps it will involve the closing of the very last pork slaughterhouse in Mississippi. First it was Beyond Meat, then Beyond chicken,steak, bacon,fish, etc. Obviously communists would be involved in such an outrage. Perhaps it will be the death of his GOP party. With the death of the last republican who ever served. With old white men loosing control of the GOP in the famous post trump purges. The party started its long decline then was extinguished two decades later. Obviously communists would be involved in such an outrage. There will be Mark in the retirement home. The nurses and orderlies on constant guard. All the other seniors at risk of being labeled communists. Just like the nurses that make him eat his beyond bacon and beyond eggs.

"The purity of public morals, the moral and physical development of both races….require that they should be kept distinct and separate… that connections and alliances so unnatural that God and nature seem to forbid them, should be prohibited by positive law, and be subject to no evasion." Society would collapse, the courts explained, if the moral and physical foundations supporting it collapsed. And surely no society that acted contrary to the will of God can survive! Yet here we are.

It's been 2 weeks since "CHAZ" was established, yet no other city has replicated it. So breathe, relax, calm down, it's not going to be where you are anytime soon. Unless you're still wanting a civil war? Here in the UK right-wingers converged on monuments and statues last week looking to "protect" them from this imaginary wave of anarchy. But nobody was attacking the said statues and monuments, so looking for a fight, they attacked the police instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's one every 5 days. CHAZ was started on June 8. That's one shooting every 6.5 days. So far looks like you are safer inside CHAZ than outside it.

Unless it turns out that enough people have migrated to the Chaz that it now has the same population as the rest of Seattle I'm going to take issue with your maths on that one.
