You're right, they're not acting like a state. If we have to bail them out because of their inability to govern themselves like a sovereign state, then they should also abolish their statehood and become the territory they're acting like.

The point of the op is we respect civil disobedience in our society, not pitch forks and torches. Every act of civil disobedience is staged by design. That doesn't make it a hoax or invalid.

The union was trying to make the public think they were arrested for striking. That was a hoax. Rosa parks was arrested for exactly what the staged photo op was drawing public attention to.

If the police staged the arrest it would be a hoax. But she really was arrested.

They played around with carrots and sticks to increase productivity (very similar to what the ccp does), but the government controls the means of production- it's socialist.

You said Nazi, Nazi's are extremely anti-capitalist and are hand in glove with socialism. The difference between communism and fascism is which totalitarian social order to put in place.

So there's no capitalist option for the future, socialism has won?

You just gave two options that require socialism and a totalitarian social order. Is there a third option in there that allows for capitalism or liberty?

I think it's worth pointing out this puts the median age of covid deaths very close to the us life expectancy of 78.

Were they not wearing underwear? How did the infection get through the cloth?

Kind of ironic that they're practicing "1A"... but don't want anyone to see or hear them

She doesn't look like a bushman... her ancestors were colonizers same as the dutch. She's appropriating the indigenous culture.

Did she do it a 2nd time or is this referring to the event a couple months ago?

I've got an unsubstantiated and impossible to prove theory. Traditionally the bulk of independents were centrist. But that changed in 2016 somewhat. That election had many Trump supporters not associated with the republican party, giving trump the "independent" edge. Those people have started to identify as Republican in this years polls. On the other side a big part of the democrat party has swung left and are less likely to identify themselves as democrats. The polls weight as if the republican / independent/ democrat association are going to have similar turnouts and mean the same thing as it did in 2016.

Not even that- it's people that looked similar to our ancestors. A way higher percentage of blacks have slave owning ancestors than whites. The few ancestors I had on this continent were Quaker.

Maybe she was concerned she was in too deep and wanted that to protect herself if it went south. But I think it was more to use Obama's reputation to shield comey and the operation. I bet if Trump had started throwing more accusations at comey instead of abruptly removing him they would have found a way to leak this in a useful manor.

Exactly, we give people ventilators not knowing how effective it is, why not hydroxychloroquine?

No no no no, we don't have a treatment until we have a clinical trial which is exactly the same as the information we already have, except this time we leave 2/3rds of the participants to chance and and record on a notebook as they die at the same rate as everyone else without treatment.... not to mention all the people dying waiting on the results of the clinical trial.
