Didn’t these ghouls put massive tariffs on Chinese EV’s and solar panels? How the fuck is that helping?

Didn’t these ghouls put massive tariffs on Chinese EV’s and solar panels? How the fuck is that helping?
Oh, okay tankie, I guess you just don’t understand how protectionist measures work, but that’s unsurprising as communists never even understand Economics 101. They boost US industry by encouraging domestic prod–
Will these protectionist measures work? While the previous tariff measures did reduce the number of Chinese solar panels coming to the US (with an 86% drop over the 2012-2020 period), the billions in subsidies, from first Obama and then Biden, did not revitalise the US solar industry. On the contrary, the American global market share of the solar industry has considerably decreased since the original tariffs were placed — from 9% in 2010 to 2% today. Meanwhile, China’s share of the industry rose from 59% to 78%. There’s no reason to believe that the recent tariff increase will reverse this trend. There’s even less hope that they will help spur a domestic EV industry.
…
It is thus no surprise that while the US government tries to block Chinese EV imports with tariffs, US firms are trying to recapture the EV market by licensing the superior technology of lead Chinese firms! Ford (in Michigan) and Tesla (in Nevada) are partnering with China’s CATL to make batteries. CATL says that it has structured its licensing deal with Ford so that it is compliant with “foreign entity of concern” rules. For its part, Tesla already uses Chinese BYD cells in Germany; Ford and GM use BYD batteries. Even Trump doesn’t like the idea of a ‘great wall’ against Chinese FDI in America. Speaking at an Ohio rally in March, he signalled an openness to Chinese firms building plants “in Michigan, in Ohio, in South Carolina”—so long as they were prepared to employ American workers.
…
US manufacturing hasn’t seen productivity growth in 17 years. That makes it increasingly impossible for the US to compete in key areas, and Biden’s ‘industrial policy’ will fail to deliver unless it can end that stagnation. China’s manufacturing sector is now the dominant force in world production and trade. Its production exceeds that of the nine next largest manufacturers combined.
okay, well, look. it’s actually very unfair to draw upon the history of uh, 14 years ago. what really matters here is that china is 1984 orwell 429,024,902 dead in tinyman square mao killed 1000 billion ughyurs.
another post, another 72trillion banger
Libs always fucking do this when comparing their ‘achievements’ to anyone who isn’t in a position of power.
We made this symptom of the problem 10% better while continuing and exacerbating the root cause! You activists and complainers haven’t done anything!
Perhaps not making the root cause worse is preferable.
Nothing shows true commitment to stopping climate change like blocking EVs and solar panels.

A lot of words from someone who makes thousands of dollars making 1 video essay a year and hanging out with war criminals.
hey it’s not an easy job to set up purple rim lighting and drink a glass of wine while saying “hello my pets” and then delivering a bland take over the course of 45 minutes
idk maybe she changed her game since i last watched a video five years ago
It’s actually gotten worse. Her old videos actually had some substance, now it’s just drinking wine in, honestly impressive, costumes.
Drinking wine in impressive costumes is some late Bourbon dynasty shit if I ever heard it
God, I miss the days when they were only 45 minutes.
45 minutes Bruh her average runtime recently has been like 2 hours
hanging out with war criminals
She said posting a pic of her with

Why haven’t the people without any power done anything as significant as the people with all the power?
Also the people with all the power aren’t actually doing shit. They say they are, then in ten years we will learn that oops that money got gobbled up in corrupt nepotism and naive initiatives that has zero chance of working.
Their climate plan will not work, the student debt is a farce that they seem to hand out piecemeal to slowly remind us that they’re trying! But not very hard it seems.
They lost abortion rights and have given up immigration policy. Conservatives are coming for trans rights next and gay rights are right behind that and the Dems have shown they won’t fight for anything.
You have to be bloody delusional or connected to the money to think otherwise.
There’s a concept in the philosophy of climate change called “intervention responsibility.” Basically, it just involves the recognition that “x is responsible for y” is only intelligible if x has the power to intervene in a way that prevents or changes y. The upshot of this is that different kinds of agents have different responsibilities with respect to big, complicated problems in light of the power (institutional and otherwise) that they have: I have a certain set of things that I can intervene on as a relatively wealthy white guy in the Imperial Core, giving me a different set of responsibilities than a subsistence farmer in the global South. Neither of us has anything close to the kind of intervention responsibility that, say, the US President or the Chevron Corporation has though, because those sorts of agents have access to causal levers that neither I nor the subsistence farmer could possibly get near, let alone pull.
Asking “what has the disempowered, disenfranchised left done that’s more effective than the wealthiest empire in the history of the world” is a category error on par with asking what the color blue has done to make itself larger than the color orange. It’s nonsensical, because you’re comparing totally different kinds of things with access to totally different sorts of influence, and thus totally different responsibilities.
It is nonsensical. Not to mention delusional. She is chastising people who won’t vote for biden and will blame tankies for a loss. Which is bizarre cause not even Democrats are sure to let him run. If they lose it is their making. But nah its the people refusing to vote.
Not to mention these people don’t care for climate change or anything. They just wanna handwave it away. At best they will say “Third world does too much pollution, not our problem, sucks to suck”
Americans buy big dirty trucks and oppose public transportation. They defend the existence of the multinational corporations that depredate their environment and poison the air and water. They eat the meat of tortured animals. They absolutely don’t give a flying fuck about the future of their children, let alone humanity. And you want to tell me they’re not responsible? Give me a break. Old people are many things — poisoned by lead, delusional, ignorant — but innocent is not among them. Everyone who voted for Trump or Bush, everyone who failed to make the modicum of effort required to support people like Bernie, they’re all to blame.
Never let anyone tell you that Americans didn’t choose this outcome. They did. It was presented to them, they were told the consequences and they chose it. And unless you’re a vegan who votes in every election and doesn’t own a car, you’re probably not so innocent either. My pity is reserved for the children and animals who will inherit this poisoned world — the only creatures who are genuinely blameless.
And unless you’re a vegan who votes in every election and doesn’t own a car, you’re probably not so innocent either. My pity is reserved for the children and animals who will inherit this poisoned world — the only creatures who are genuinely blameless.
Purity Politics? What a poisoned world view.
Americans choose big trucks because they live in a society that incentives it. They oppose public transport because it is perceived as a hindrance. They do not do these things because they’re evil, but because of the way society has been structured and the way their society describes different modes of transport.
Read Making Mobilities Matter or something else about Theory of practiceSo to be clear, if I gave Trump supporters a tax incentive and some education, they’d abandon their gas guzzlers and stop eating meat? Are you actually hearing yourself?
The social “structure” you’re describing is literally the manifestation of their will. Yes, it’s a self-perpetuating system, but it’s their system shaped by what they want.
You tell me they’re not evil, and then point to a system responsible for making them evil. Unbelievable.
So to be clear, if I gave Trump supporters a tax incentive and some education, they’d abandon their gas guzzlers and stop eating meat?
No, I’ve simplified a relatively complex piece of urban planning theory so as to make it easy to communicate in a short response. There is a reason I told you to read further, are you hearing yourself trying to come up with a halfbrained unfounded retort to a response that encouraged further education?
The social “structure” you’re describing is literally the manifestation of their will. Yes, it’s a self-perpetuating system, but it’s their system shaped by what they want.
Again with this essentialism! The social structure is the society which they live in. It is in part shaped by will, but the will is equally shaped by society. To simplify: what we do is determined by three fields - Means, motive and material. Each field influences the other. We drive the car because it is perceived as the most “effective” vehicle (and because we perceive it as being “a vehicle that gives personal freedom” and other values we equate with “good transport”. For a lot of people it is the most effective, because there is no good public transport or other infrastructure, and because it is much easier to drive a car than to rely on public transport (materials and means). This in turn influences public policy, which then ends up reinforcing this.
This is why people drive cars, not because their “will” is evil or some dumb shit. If you’re going to insult me, do the required reading first.You tell me they’re not evil, and then point to a system responsible for making them evil. Unbelievable.
Did you think you were cooking here? “You tell me they’re not evil, and then point to an evil system” yeah buddy. The system is evil, we’re all parts of the system and you won’t change it by shaming individuals. Systemic problems require systemic solutions.
Once again: I encouraged you to read up on urban planning theory, since this is the field within which the issue exists. I gave you a specific text as well and a short simplification of what it detailed. You decided to reply with an uneducated vitriolic vibes-based attempt at a response. Be better, educate yourself.

What is this fantasy realm where unforgivable monsters who want [SA] victims to give birth are somehow above blame because “they don’t know any better”?
we’re talking about people driving cars.Urban planning isn’t what makes people buy giant gas guzzlers they can barely afford.
Yes it is. If we’re gonna continue this you’re going to have to move away from this vibes based approach you’re attempting.
Urban planning is not why 40% of Americans believe in ghosts and horoscopes but not evolution. Urban planning doesn’t cause misogyny and homophobia. And it certainly doesn’t force people to knowingly eat the flesh of tortured animals or support murderers and [redacted]. What we are seeing is a fault in human nature that can only be corrected over the course of generations. Unfortunately, our environment may not have that long.
Normally when people attempt to move they goalposts, they stay on the same field.
We’re discussing why people choose the means of transport they choose. Within this subject urban planning is paramount. People choose vehicles because of systemic reasons, not because of some nazi-like idea of “the triumph of the will” or weird national essentialism about the American brainpan.This is really shitty debatebroism of you. You’re not engaging with the arguments, you’re not engaging with the science and you’re trying to make me out to be someone who defends all sorts of weird shit. Also put a spoilertag on your mentions of SA, you piece of shit.
I’m not saying Americans are innocent. The point of intervention responsibility is to pry apart responsibility in the moral or casual sense and responsibility in the ability-to-effect-meaningful-change sense. The idea that climate change is happening because ordinary people won’t give up their SUVs and stop eating beef is wrong and deliberate misinformation on the part of companies and governments who want you to think that you bear individual accountability for the problem. That’s insane. The overwhelming majority of damage is being done by the wealthiest 1,000 people in the world, the 100 largest companies, and the US Military. Those people (and those institutions) bear the intervention responsibility here, because they’re in a position in which changes to their behavior will meaningfully affect the global environment. Becoming a vegan or never flying as a consumer are morally good, but they’re not meaningful interventions in the grand scheme of things, even if the overwhelming majority of ordinary people pursue them.
Consider the inverse case: white supremacy and systemic racism. Virtually none of us bear moral responsibility for this: we never owned slaves, didn’t design a racist oligarchy of a government, and so on. That doesn’t mean we don’t have intervention responsibility to fix it, though, because we can enact meaningful resistance to white supremacy in our day-to-day lives by being anti-racist in our actual deeds, fighting for the dignity and rights of marginalized people, and generally enacting resistance.
The idea that climate change is happening because ordinary people won’t give up their SUVs and stop eating beef is wrong [… because] the overwhelming majority of damage is being done the 100 largest companies.
Exxon, Alphabet, Tyson are all guilty of pollution, but they only exist — indeed, they can only exist — because people pay them to do so. Americans elect the politicians who shield Exxon from consequences, they endorse the policies that enable the ownership of private jets, of mansions, of sports cars, of cruise ships.
Exxon is literally the manifestation of their desires. If people weren’t willing to die over access to cheap fossil fuels we wouldn’t be in this predicament.
You think Americans care that Tyson tortures chickens? Have you met average Americans?? They do not give a fuck! They love cheap, unregulated, dirty meat. They love cheap gas. They love big cars, big houses, cruise ships, and they will die to stop you from taking these things from them.
It’s funny because folks keep saying this over and over: they say it at the polls, in voting booths, at primaries, and you don’t listen. There’s this fantasy that if only we could educate the 50% of Americans who are irremediable shitheads, they’d change their minds. No. They won’t. Only generational turnover can fix this issue. We wait for them to die out until we can outnumber them at voting booths. There’s no other practical option. Unless you have another pandemic up your sleeve?
Generational politics doesn’t work, you just end up with Buttigieg with a Boomer Brain implant, and if you’re hoping for it just being the old to die I have bad news for you about the current pandemic
trucks and meat are especially interesting, as its not by “natural inborn consumer preference” (a story you seem to share) they were chosen, just as poisoned water is not chosen.
i rather suspect if epa fined dupont/exxon to bankruptcy over their shit, they would get much more popular. small republicans popularly rebel against regulations not only because they annoy them, but they also perceive deep unfairness that giant corporation can poison half the earth and government will just eat shit over it, while their business become closed over something minor like improper engine oil runoff. And i’m not advocating exclusion of small business owners from it, rather large corporation death penalty over their shenanigans.
Its a confused mess (as projected onto political parties) because messaging by large corporations intentionally obfuscates and emphasizes different stories to different groups. Republicans were mega angry about bank bailouts, for example, until kochs hijacked the tea party, the anger was there to make them democrat voters, while democrats at the time were whimpering about the sacred markets
p.s. if you collapse into wild misanthropy, how can you be a communist/anarchist?
The EPA can’t fine anyone precisely because Americans overwhelmingly support ecological depredation and overconsumption. Read the political data! Almost nobody wants the EPA to “fine Exxon into bankruptcy.” A lukewarm slap on the wrist is barely justifiable to most Americans, who demand cheap gas, are falling over themselves to sacrifice the future of their children for cheap gas. It’s a political demand yodeled from the mountaintops.
And you want, what, the EPA — the EPA that belongs to these animals — to fine the large corporations that also belong to these same animals?
That makes absolutely zero sense.
Again, the government serves those who give it power. For years this has been the voters of this country, and they have made their wishes loud and clear, repeatedly.
The demand for cheap gas is learned behavior, cause cheap gas leads to more disposable income. Do americans get mad at aluminum/wood prices oscillations? The car/homes still get more expensive with those, but you won’t lose election on it.
Corporation construct reality where car is a means of survival, induce demand for gas and now people are bad for caring about this? Canadians or germans don’t get half as mad at gas prices as americans, do you guess why?
The voters don’t make anything clear because they don’t vote on policy, they vote on a theater actor tone of voice when reading teleprompter. aside from 30 percent strongly party affiliated electorate, americans don’t give a shit (or see it they all the same cynicism).
Again, say you describe pfas shenanigans to 10000 average americans, you honestly think 50 percent will say: that’s okay, dupont gives jobs?
Inversely, say I want to execute oil executives, who do I vote for that my preference is seen via voting tallies?
you decide to backproject politicians decisions (as signed off by the corporations) on the voters preferences? To get mega cynical about voters?
Corporations are evil, of course. And no one is debating that evil entities seek to lie and cheat their way into power. But falling for self-serving lies makes you culpable.
Are Israeli soldiers not guilty because they follow orders and believe propaganda? You think that’s an excuse?
“Oh, someone told me to think and behave terribly, and I didn’t know any better.”
That is not an excuse. Pollution is bad. Electing narcissists is bad. Denying science is bad. You could argue human nature is fundamentally twisted and selfish, but that would still make those who endorse cruel and stupid ideologies blameworthy.
There is self-indulgent bathing in propaganda of course. but israel soldier whose choice is sit in jail or become a murderer and amerikan chosing between “i can afford rent here, therefore i need a car (because there is no public transport) therefore gas prices are important to me” or dont have a job and become homeless/sick to death aren’t exactly comparable. One is trading humanity for comfort, the other one pollution for much more obvious survival. People play hands they are dealt, not ones they could have been dealt (insert
here).there is difference as well between endorsing and passively accepting, if we don’t make it - germany should have been purified in nuclear fire 80 years ago. I mean the position of everyone should be exactly right on all issues is unproductive, and might lead you to passive contempt from which there is no escape
They don’t control the media either. They are brainwashed, disenfranchised, and overworked. The establishment has decades of experience manufacturing consent, and when that doesn’t work, they ignore the people outright. 70% of Americans want public healthcare and it’s not even in the realm of political possibility.
Correct. For all practical purposes, most human beings are just animals — scared, stupid, and impulsive. You live in their world. They outnumber you 10 to 1. So vote in their elections, or don’t. But don’t call them disenfranchised. There’s nothing disenfranchised about those shitbags driving $70k pickup trucks eating meat at every meal. At best they’re complicit, at worst little more than zombies.
As for the survey you just cited, try this. Put out a poll asking:
-
“Do you want to save the rainforest?” My guess is 90% will answer yes. Now ask:
-
“Would you be willing to stop eating cows to save the rainforest?” 2% might answer yes.
That’s why people elect politicians who act against their best interests: because their best interests and their ugliest desires often misalign.
You have a few days to read his before I get embarrassed about writing a wall of text.
most human beings are just animals — scared, stupid, and impulsive
Most of us think and act as our circumstances demand. We believe what those around us believe, because we lack the energy, time, resources, and education to build a worldview from the ground up. Even here on hexbear, we absorb consensus views from our peers rather than each of us individually verifying every detail. We trust the collective intelligence, media literacy, skepticism, and good will of our community, and we trust our process of consensus.
The way propaganda works is by hijacking the consensus. Capitalists control the major mouthpieces of our society - the media and the politicians, and increasingly, the social media. They run astroturf campaigns. They launder false stories through legitimate media outlets. They tell you Saddam has WMDs and Gaddafi is conducting a genocide, and they drum it up into a consensus. Soon all your friends, family, and coworkers believe it too. When they’re not lying, or lying by omission, they propagandize by emphasis, by choice of words, by slant. They shape what is permissible to think and say. Propaganda works, and it works on everyone, including you and I. Cultural attitudes about gas-guzzling vehicles were largely manufactured by the oil industry and its media cronies. Those attitudes did not arise organically. Propaganda experts hijacked the consensus and changed the culture.
nothing disenfranchised about those shitbags driving $70k pickup trucks eating meat at every meal
As individual consumers, we can only do so much. We can’t vote with our wallets to change the power grid, transportation infrastructure, manufacturing, or commercial supply lines. There are some individual choices we can make, but they would need to be coordinated on a mass scale, and even then the impact would be limited. Sooner or later, change must come from government, and as the 2014 statistical analysis I cited showed, we do not control our government. The public has “little or no independent influence” on public policy. Whenever we disagree with capitalists on an issue, we lose. Sometimes capitalists use their stranglehold on the media to gin up public consensus, other times, as with healthcare in the US, they don’t even bother, because they don’t have to. Policy is written by money and power and leverage, not by votes. It doesn’t even align that well with public sentiment.
The other issue is coordination. Putting the onus of change on the individual is like expecting wildebeests to cross the river one at a time. Individuals don’t make change, coordinated movements make change. The issue there is that capitalist states are experts at crushing or co-opting movements. Huge volumes of propaganda, astroturfing, even jailing or assassinating movement leaders, like the six BLM leaders who died in Ferguson under suspicious circumstances in the years after the George Floyd protests. The situation is infinitely worse outside the imperial core, where entire governments can be toppled, nations invaded, and populations starved by sanctions. Capitalists have violently killed millions of people who tried to bring about collective change, including worker’s rights, rights for women and minorities, education, healthcare, and environmentalism.
Even modest gains, like the 8 hour work week, and the ostensible right to unionize, have required significant struggle and risk, and since then decades of Cold War propaganda have eroded the class consciousness and solidarity that made that organizing possible.
“Would you be willing to stop eating cows to save the rainforest?” 2% might answer yes.
If you controlled the media and the government the way capitalists do now, I bet in ten years you could persuade the public to reduce red meat consumption at least by half.
Maybe not you, literally, but say a democratic socialist government. Do things for people, meaningfully improve their lives, and they’ll start to listen.

This is true. Especially the fanbase. They literally enshrine every dumb thing she spouts.
The Brianna Wu arc for contra is something. And no, posting a picture of me next to an astronaut holding a gun does not count as an argument
What does Brianna Wu arc mean? do I want to know?
If you don’t know who Brianna Wu is I implore you to keep it that way.
Gaining some online following as a left adjacent figure because they were attacked be right wing trolls. Turning out to be a spoiled lib, getting criticism for dogshit takes and soft-bigotry, and so pivoting to a post-left grifter (and in the case of Brianna Wu, linking up with Nazis).
Wu also worked for Trent Lott before transitioning
, unconfirmed if Natalie worked with any racist senators besides 
Brianna Wu is trans? I thought she was cis
She is trans, she just has shit politics due to being rich. Also worth noting her ‘why I left the left’ grift is pretty much because of October 7.
I planted some trees in my yard which will probably have a greater positive impact on the environment than the totality of Democrat climate bills.
The weekend, sick leave, maternity leave, OSHA, no child labour, civil rights, holidays, etc. all came by as a result of strikes and other direct action
All those will be gone if biden loses ackshually, vote blue and push left.
Only if there’s a set of stairs to his left
Or a cliff edge
Looking at him a small curb might do the trick tbh
Oh yeah. Just a little push.
If Biden drone strikes Clarence Thomas as an official act to save OSHA and protect lives I still won’t vote for him, but that’s a good start.
why would he drone strike one of his own court appointments?
Remember If you don’t tell her about the illegal and cool things you do they don’t count. You have to dox yourself and list all the Walmarts you’ve firebombed or contra won’t take you seriously
oh fuck this is contra points how deeply embarrassing
Maybe she just wants to get firebombing Walmart back on the menu in our minds and in our hearts but doesn’t want the liability of actually saying it.
Umm contra pushed biden left so that’s real Ws right there. So only pushing biden left counts.
I did all of them, you can recognize me from my black clothes
anti electoralist left
I’m not anti elections, I’m anti bourgeois “democracy.” It’s a farce.
Elections can stop fascists. Problem is you have to put people who really oppose fascism into power instead of people whose ideology is to collaborate with fascism and refuse to use any power given to them against fascism. How many times are you gonna be slapped by democrat party actions before you realise they are perfectly fine with fascism in power
(paraphrasing) the far left will say to firebomb a Walmart but not actually do it
We burnt down a motherfucking police station
A major climate bill
If it does nothing to change the trajectory of climate change than how is it major?
(Paraphasing) What have the anti-electoralist left done in comparison to the democrats?
Why the fuck are you comparing the least powerful people in the country to some of the most powerful? Are you even a leftist, Contra?
Not to mention the absolute stupidity of saying the anti-electoralist left is ineffective, when I’m pretty sure both Marx and Lenin both pointed out the pointlessness of bourgeoisie elections (maybe theory nerds can correct me if I’m wrong?)
I haven’t watched Contrapoints for a loooong time, but she was always my least favourite Breadtuber. She had this sort of “Trans people should try to pass if we want to be accepted” video if I recall correctly and that’s when I noped the fuck away from her videos.
Skull boy is okay, the rest of breadtube can suck my enby ass. Half of them give me fed vibes anyway.
Are you even a leftist, Contra?
do you even need to ask lol
a picture of me next to Hillary does not count
if you’re not allowed to show everything lib she’s ever done, and you squint hard, there may be a case for the moderate wing of fascism at best
contra need the “pro” first for its existance … it is the `reaction´ one could say…
Propoints
propointproponant
I haven’t watched Contrapoints for a loooong time, but she was always my least favourite Breadtuber. She had this sort of “Trans people should try to pass if we want to be accepted” video if I recall correctly and that’s when I noped the fuck away from her videos.
Oh yeah she has done that and more. She has the most libbed up trajectory. She did the voting video if I remember, where she opines how revolution is bad and leads to “China tiananmen square 1989 mao great leap forward 1000 billion dead”. And blames tankies for trump winning prior.
Anyway she also did hillary girlboss docu and gleefully bantered with hilldawg and Chelsea. Awesome.
Apparently gaza is mega complicated for her to decide which side is bad .
Ok now I get why people say she’s dismissive of nonbinary people. Trans people are supposed to pass? Like I’m nonbinary and agender. What am I supposed to pass as? A rock?
What am I supposed to pass as? A rock?
You rock. 🤘
thank you, you’re kind!
Don’t tell me that if you could pass as a rock you wouldn’t leap at the chance
is it like in Kirby where I can metamorph into a rock and roll down inclines
It works even better if you can fly or float so you can do the classic super smash Kirby move of flying up high before turning into a rock
white liberal trans always become fuckin bigoted against nonbinaries, fucking just as bad as the fucking transphobes at that point
and you are a cute and amazing person axont, you pass by existing, like any other trans person
i’m really glad everyone is so sweet and considerate. I often don’t even feel trans enough or that I’m not doing anything, since most people don’t even know I’m nonbinary unless I tell them. I’m not on HRT or anything and don’t have discrimination from my immediate family (extended family is a different story). All I’ve really faced is that coworkers and random people don’t understand or believe me, they say I’m just making stuff up. But I know who I am and so do my comrades, so I’m really grateful for that. At most I sometimes feel like I’m “supposed” to present androgynous, but why? I’d rather just be comfortable and present how I feel like. I mostly dress as a mid-90s lesbian, like with skinny jeans and boots lol.
My biggest enby victory so far is a time when I went to jury duty. I’m registered in the county with my gender as “Other” and so the judge had literally no idea how to address me. Kept going back and forth between “Mister” and “Miss” and that kind of ruled.
Seems like my gut was right then, yikes
Once again reminding people that
was an unrelated apartment building under construction that burned down in Minneapolis and not the police station.Well we need a picture on that police station then
Sean skullman and hbomberguy stay winning
can you reassure me that there’s a plausible direct action/non-electoralist means of stopping him?
Yes.
Same thought. “One motivated marine and his rifle…” etc etc
