Those cameras that cops wear? They have buttons, too.

people who think others are overreacting aren’t going to care without proof.

These people will never be satisfied, regardless of however, much proof and evidence you provide. It’s a trolling tactic known as Sealioning. Endless demands for proof while acknowledging none of them, regardless of how undeniable. It’s a delayed tactic to avoid ever having to admit that they were wrong or at fault, betting that you will eventually give up first.

This is like a factory farm where all the animals are kept in horrible conditions. You cannot make a vegan out of “they are treated bad” but you can if you show them.

You’re not gonna convince anyone with bad faith arguments based on niche morality. If you’re gonna cite the problem being that the farm is a “factory farm”, then the alternative is to, obviously, make it a humane farm. But, as a vegan, your agenda is too clearly shame people for eating meat altogether. That makes your criticism a factory farming, disingenuous, since the obvious alternative, human farming, isn’t didn’t even an option for you. Your problem isn’t with factory farming, your problem is with the fact that people eat meat in the first place. And you’re never gonna win an ideological war with an extremely dubious moral argument.

I feel you are just making excuses for weak people who can do something but choose not to.

And I think you’re being hypocritical of others, considering the context of your judgments when measured against your own actions, attempting to make/enact social change because you realize the hypocrisy and nonsensical position of your own argument.

From a political standpoint, it comes down to weighing the political cost of sneaking in a camera and possibly being arrested for trying to sneak photos out, and between the knowledge that anyone who’s listening damn well knows how fucking bad it is there already without having to see pictures. And the political value of acting like victims of fascism (which they unquestionably are) might be more valuable than showing pictures and video of horrors that Americans are already numb to.

In short, there is more value in being denied the ability to take photo and video then there is an actually showing the photos and video. That way, people will assume the worst as their imaginations will allow rather than showing yet another video of people in horrific conditions. If that sort of imagery could motivate Americans to act, it would have already. The imminent threat to free speech is far more concerning to the people of this country as a whole.

Most concentration camps had dormitory style housing, where it was just a ton of bunkbeds inside of one giant shack. Some of Auschwitz was like this, too.

The oldest dog lived to 29 years old. So, I suppose it is possible she’s still alive. But I highly doubt it.

The beer helmet on Brett Cavanagh is a nice touch

Then quit, you fucking Nazi cunts. You’re lucky there isn’t someone going around, carving swastikas into your foreheads.

How was the headline not “Scientist Shocked…”

Wow, way to drop the ball copy editor.

In California a Terry stop also requires reasonable articulable suspicion of having committed a crime. That means they can’t conduct a terry stop based on their feefees. They need some sort of evidence, and this judge just ruled that their bigotry, xenophobia, and racism aren’t “reasonable articulable suspicion“.

Even freeing slaves across all of "Americans" before the Civil War was never popular.

So unpopular, in fact, that it caused a civil war ;)

I love this show more than most I’ve ever watched. But there’s something I just can’t get past— How the hell does Jones keep getting cigarettes? Where TF do they come from? For all of the decades after the plague that she lives/works at the facility, where do they come from? Because, after 30-aught years, she would have smoked all of the cigarettes in her immediate vicinity, requiring multi-day trip for scav parties (which she also doesn’t have) to go hunt down more.

of all of the crazy things in this show, this is the one without a rational explanation given in the show.
