I'm gonna go out on a limb here and just predict that he's a right-wing Trump voter. He's MAGA all the way - and he apparently has the guns to prove it.
This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say that the problems in the U.S. are profoundly more different and dangerous than the ones in Europe. I'm not saying that Europe doesn't have problems, but we don't have the right-wing over here armed with dangerous weapons and with an ideology that tells them that it's okay to walk around with them in public and to shoot anyone they think is looking at them the wrong way - including kids.
@natharari @boingboingbot The United States has its faults but such acts are overstated and we'd still rather die than give up our liberties. Americans from both sides of our political spectrum are free to go and purchase firearms.
Putting that topic aside, we suffer similar problems. Those in government profit from our suffering. Corporations can influence our governments more than the people. The powerful and influential know how to keep their crimes from seeing the light of day. It only takes pumping news with stories delivered in the right way to bring about chaos and division. While we are busy fighting amongst each other they are free to act without public scrutiny.
Big a, little a, bouncing b. The system might have got you but it won't get me. Crass had a good point. The government knows how to cause divisions and use them to their advantage. Taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture shows that their tricks are similar. Molding public opinion to their will and getting us to do their bidding.
Looking back at the US for a moment. The public was manipulated to get an experimental jab and any opposition was dismissed as misinformation from a foreign country. It's no secret that those in power made massive profits and it became law to require the jab while we fought amongst each other. Rather recently, we finally have cases that have established that the jabs were not as safe as we were told. Some of the information that was dismissed as misinformation turned out to be true.
The best fights are the ones that one doesn't have a part in. People fought for what they thought was right and the government washed their hands. They didn't participate in the fight. Only crazy people were looking into problems with the jabs. Some batches being stronger than they should have been and other manufacturing problems were overshadowed by a scared and angry public.
They fooled us and they did it with ease. The jab isn't my argument. A litmus test was likely what was performed. They can control us without drugs and without much effort. There's a lot more going on.
