I'll take my chances walking from a subway stop to a deli to my hotel on my way back from a concert at 1am over my chances with a sheriff in rural Nebraska any day of the week.

I was gonna say, "I know that name". Wasn't he the guy who would post up in a McDonalds in like East Jesus, Missouri and insist that we all need to understand and cater to the worldview of Joe who wants the government to subsidize his leaded gasoline fume factory so he doesn't go under?

Americans, writ large, are extremely bloodthirsty people. We (collectively) can't get enough of the idea of people we don't like getting their heads bashed in on the 6 o'clock news. We vote for people who tell us our violent rage is a virtue over and over and over again.

I had an argument the other day on here with some guy who insisted that Kent State was a watershed moment and everyone pointed out that Nixon won in a landslide the next election, then we had a one term reprieve with Carter followed by Reagan-Bush for 12 years. Americans LOVE violent repression.

I get that its a pretty non-glamorous workaday solution that involves some upheaval in your personal life and you won't be going out in a blaze of glory on the front lines of an ICE beatdown on the 6 o'clock news, but like...put up or shut up.

Didn't he fire all the logistics people, because they work at a desk and he wants "warriors"?

The problem is, they're giving it to their kids, specifically bleach *enemas* to "cure" autism which does nothing except strip the tissue off the inside of their large intestines.

I don't think so, it doesn't really look like him other than some general characteristics.

I don't think its a "distraction" to the TWO THOUSAND people that got snatched off the streets and out of their home and out of their workplaces in the last week by ICE, wtf? Its very much THE issue for them!

His parents were Viet Namese refugees, his childhood was shaped by being in a family of immigrants running for their lives, the idea that his opinions might be shaped by what he experienced, saw his parents experience, and probably friends and acquaintances in Canada should not be controversial!

I don't think that's him either, but whoever he is he's pretty rad.

Only orthogonal to the broader point but this just made me think that my Catholic college had LGBT studies classes *in the 90s* (I took two!) and how wild that seems to me in this environment 30 years later when we're supposed to be moving forwards not backwards.

And then one term of Carter, followed by twelve of Reagan-Bush, I'm not sure what point this guy thinks he's making but if he thinks people are broadly opposed to seeing people they don't like get beaten and killed by LE or the military, he's extremely wrong. Americans love it.

I worked in customer service (more accurately: I *was* customer service) for a search engine in *1997* and the relationship that people had to search engine results was wild, and when they didn't find what they wanted the would email me and tell me to go research things for them myself.
