first time I've ever heard of a law enforcement officer say they wont do something because of the 4th amendment. IMO all law enforcement is duty bound to prevent unconstitutional actions by other law enforcement, but that's not practical for a wide variety of reasons
not even that, it's just the sheriff's office saying it wont help break the law
that really, truly sucks
honestly, if you sincerely believe that your physical safety is at risk if the people in your area knew your politics you need to GTFO, posthaste. If that's not an option for whatever reason, learn who's least likely to be hostile to your politics, the groups are probably going to be anemic but I know for a fact there's at least statewide Democratic Party organization. Not even necessarily repping for Democrats in particular there are probably other groups. In any case my point is that you may be alone, but you're less alone than you think you are
and that posting can concern things more locally relevant than yet another "geNrAL StRIke". I'm on this particular forum in large part because of the hope it can be locally relevant
I guarantee you there are local politicians in your area who absolutely suck shit, who have established enemies, who aren't as secure in their positions as they think they are
go learn who they are and make their lives hell.
how about you stop posting about it with a PNG on a forum that gets like 20k visitors a month (high end) and go talk to your neighbors and coworkers about doing something more directly local?
I use https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean and I almost never reach a paywall, not sure if there's a chrome version
There's also an important conversation to be had as to if talking about the specific effects is the best strategy, I'll be doing it anyway. but we still shouldn't loose track of how this is all flagrantly unconstitutional and a naked attempt to turn the federal government into a monarchy.
I dont understand where you found that in what I said
I dont care about the difference between "propagandized" and "idiot". You attacked me instead of my argument.
Its not the hypothetical removal of the evil and waste of a system, it'd about the process of removing the undesired elements. The problem wasnt just with Brian Johnson was an interchangable empty suit, the problem is with the entire culture and system of incentives. Killing one bad person doesn't do enough to fix things, targeting enough people to make the change that's really needed will need a bureaucratic structure to actually get done, target selection, weapons supply, training, validation, paperwork. Very rare for breaucratically enabled violence to ever be good.
For healthcare in particular is pretty much is just as simple as nationalizating health insurance and have everything done by medicare (or state/local govt health plan) But targeted assassination doesn't automatically translate into an act of congress.
Wow very convincing. thank you, directly calling me an idiot without addressing the core of my argument really has brought me over to your way of thinking
I very deliberately said "in general", i did not say "in all cases whatsoever".
For health insurance there is a replacement ready, the answer is to have Medicare do everything.
there are also a number of other protests happening this same day in Dubuque, Ames, Waterloo, and Sioux City
