i keep suggesting 'E', but not too many people seem interested.

Back in school, we had to say "one" for our papers, but I haven't seen it used much outside of that and maybe some proverbs. Maybe that would be better?

What I've come to realize is that people don't care too much about the reasoning. They'll want something due to some gut feeling, and then will go look for evidence to support that feeling.

For example, someone might just want a gun because they think they're cool, but they'll swear to God it's because they care about the Constitution. Then what some other part of the Constitution gets disrespected, they don't give two shits.

This has always been my takeaway from watching other people play it. The SB games are hard, but Sekiro seems just pointlessly so. And the combat looks horribly boring.

I've only played DS3 and Sekiro, but I found Sekiro much more rewarding to play. I felt like I beat a lot of bosses in DS3 without even really knowing their movesets.

It's important to differentiate between reported case and actual cases. There's definitely more reported cases because we are testing more. The number of actual cases is harder to pin down, but hospitalizations were going up last I checked so it's likely actual cases are rising as well. It should in no wonder be interpreted that it means the US is in good condition. Just that we were in much worse condition previously than we had thought.

Anyway, people like Squall are in a fairly small minority of Americans. ~80% polled understand what the meaning behind the phrase is, and even most Republicans:

80% of Americans think that people in the movement can't possibly be that stupid. There's just no way they can think the police aren't an important part of society. There's no way they think that police is only here to quell protests and catch slaves. There's no way they think the blocking off the police from city blocks are a good idea. There's no way they think the police can operate better with minimum funding.

And I agree with them. Most people in the movement are great.

That you can expect a police officer not to do their job because of how they feel is exactly why reform is needed.

Too bad the hashtag is #DefundthePolice and not #ReformthePolice. I'm sure the reception would've been much better.

What other profession can get away with this type of behavior? Everyone and their mom hates lawyers and wants them to be the first to die in the revolution, but they can't just not defend people in court. Some people consider teachers overpaid, lazy, incompetent whiners and are happy to voice that opinion, but teachers can't just refuse to teach in response. No one but the police could possibly get away with the "hurr, well they're trying to defund me/welcome to the world without me" response, and yet multiple posters in this topic are doing it for them unpaid. That's the power of copoganda.

I'll be totally fine if a teacher doesn't teach an unruly student or a lawyer chooses not to represent someone who is insulting them the whole time. In fact, I think those cases are actually justified. The cops aren't, but the behavior is expected. If I've been throwing rocks at an alligator all day, I'm not going to go stand by the river. It's like what the fuck do you expect is going to happen?

Have the neckbeards become the good guys in popular culture finally?

I dunno. Dude seemed genuinely surprised something bad happened to him while purposefully standing in the middle of an angry mob. Then whined to the police who he has probably been berating for the last month.

I mean that mob should've been silenced, but that ain't the way to do it.

From where do you draw this conclusion? I simply described some of Marxist theory and pointed out a real-world example of incredible innovation being achieved without a profit motive. And dispelled your idea that governments never run anything well. And pointed out that Marxism isnt about the government running everything which you seem to believe for some reason. Btw, the patents for insulin and the Polio vaccine were also given away for free by their creators.

Being given the choice to give stuff away is different from being forced.

How do you propose things get implemented if not by government control , and what are the policies you want implemented?

I didnt say it was a success; the people who lived in it find it better to the alternative of neoliberalism.

And yeah, its clear youre not able to respond to much of anything anyone has to say.

If someone responds to a post doubting communism's likelihood to succeed with links, it seems to imply they think it's a success. I'm sorry you weren't more clear.

What does this mean? Ive heard the platitude a lot but Id like to hear it elaborated upon. Do other political systems work in the real world iyo? I mean, the world is and always has been filled with untold misery. Does that mean no systems work in the real world?

I'm only going to address because the rest of your post is going on the assumption that it works. Working in the real world means success. Your government isn't taken over by a dictator because you gave the government too much power. People actually end up equal and living comfortably. Your innovation doesn't get stifled.

What country has achieved this?
