I disagree it's kids that say that. It's mainly Fox news viewers.
The Atlanta shooting is kinda weird. Atlanta police say Atlanta police were shot at so the Atlanta police say the Atlanta police did nothing wrong. I have not seen another source that independently clears the Atlanta police. >

Asking the obvious question: why doesn't GSP wear/use bodycams? >

So they can shoot protestors >

I get that they don't want to film themselves doing all the bad shit they do. What I don't understand is why essentially every other agency is required to wear/use cams but GSP gets a pass. >

The explanation I've heard is that they always work in front of their car cameras.
Until they don't I guess. >

“they want to kill me and i support them! don’t tread on me 🇺🇸” >

Ah yes, until they want to break into the capital to commit treason and one of them disobeys clear orders and dies. Then suddenly the tune changes. >

You could have asked this question in 1990, 1970, 1960, 1920, 1880 and 1848, and the answers would all be the same. >

"why do slave patrols keep shooting abolitionists?" >

“Why do police keep killing striking union workers?” >

Oh yeah, it’s a total mystery… >

Another mystery, why did the Capitol Police not open fire on jan 6? >

They did >

I don’t give this comment 24 hours before you’re banned entirely from Reddit.
That said per the law those in defense of the capitol absolutely had justification for deadly force.  Unfortunately you’re talking about holding white nationalists accountable, and the /politics mods are going to “be centrists” and only let right wingers suggest leftists should be hurt.  They make us be nice to people who Reddit allows to threaten us.  Obligatory fuck Reddit for not quarantining Republican and conservative subs.
This country doesn’t hold white nationalists accountable though.  America was tacitly siding with Germany in WW2 until the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.  We had sedition trials in 1944 because a bunch of our elected senators were goddamned Nazis.
Nothings changed, it got worse.  Nazis have a political party in the US, they’re in control of the Republican Party. >

What’s concerning me the most is that there’s been a blatant rise in “both sides” astroturfers too. They’re more insidious than the blatant far-right on here, since all they have to say is “I’m Not A rEpUbLiCaN” for those who aren’t paying attention to take what they say seriously, in order to sow discord/apathy in our country in terms of making any meaningful change >

When a conservative tells me they want small government, at this point I just assume they mean they want one person to be “the government.”  Conservatives want everyone they hate to be ruled. >

That’s about right unfortunately >

They want a theocratic dictatorship because that’s the only way they’ll hold enough of the reins to keep this country “in line” with capitalism and Christian nationalism, which are intertwined, and deeply unpopular. >

And, unfortunately for them, they seem to keep getting knocked back on their asses in crucial states every election after 2016. Not to the degree most of us would like, but definitely growing each and every year the republicans show their malice, hypocrisy and incompetence. We’re winning small battles, but we need to press on until this threat is diminished once and for all >

Are these people even "left wing"? The right has gone so far right that average American is called liberal over anything. >

Kids nowadays have been so over exposed to this bullshit that they call random people on the Internet they disagree with left-wing, libby, etc.  It's just typical stupid animal behavior.
