Maybe not fired for a first offense. That's a bit extreme imo.
In a different scenario, what would you think if it was UPS or another private company worker instead of federal?

I'm not who you asked, but I often think of supression tactics against forms of free speech used in the US that some countries in the EU do less. Not all of them (UK online speech policing and arrests as a counterexample), but voter supression, union busting, and law enforcement response to protests have been handled in various countries in ways I consider more free for the citizens.
TLDR: Intimidation tactics and biased response happens less in other countries.

Controlling media and having a fact-checker pop up are two different things. Let people spout their nonsense, but flag sources of misinformation as unreliable.

Very interesting "democracy or philosipher-king" point, though maybe another option in between is possible. I believe it is people's responisibility to self govern and that noone has the right to take that away. I don't want people to be told what to think, but I also don't trust them in our current system. I'm saying we need an apolitical tool for flagging lies to help people not accept everything that fits their current worldview. Also, on your point later in the comment chain, I firmly believe elected officials should be suspended and imprisoned if they call for violence and then someone else performs that violence. Rhetoric has power and using that irresponsibly shouldn't go unpunished. Majority rule with respect to the minority is my most important principle.

Nah bruv, as an american, the people are too dumb to not need some sort of protection from hate speech and ideas. A fact checker needs to be a mandatory public service at this point. I feel the same way about the homeless bum who shouts at everyone downtown that their participation in consummerism is destroying everything. If they called for violence, it would be a step too far.

Ahh, thank you for clarifying. Your point didn't come across clearly the first time. Most people do only vote for their political party. I don't agree that it is the prime reason, and there is probably analysis on key issues and primary involvement that could show why people don't vote split tickets, but it would be nice if we could openly criticise candidates we plan to vote for without it being used destructively online. Tribalism is at it's peak with social media.

I have no clue why you chose to point at OP's opinion to claim their thinking is flawed. They clearly have put thought into this post instead of just planning to vote for who has the "right color banner" and are asking for reasons why someone would vote Trump. Why not point out the "slew of baggage" with Harris that would sway you or someone you know to vote for Trump instead of just listing something undistiguishing and then going non sequitur? I'd love to hear it as well tbh.

Rhetoric about scapegoats that distract people from the real causes of their issues, a cult of personality, and lots of money. Additionally, a lot of his voters thought he started to expose the truth behind how things actually run in the government instead of seeing how he is playing them for fools just as much (or more than) other politicians. Mostly though, it's the money.

Not feeling like that proves selective outrage, as Trump would support and likely increase involvement with the genocide.

I like this one, but I've heard the term whales for gaming communities. Hobby whale is probably my go-to

Hey, I don't judge. I might only pirate media I've already bought (like when I couldn't find my copy of a movie) but firmly agree with Gabe Newell that piracy is a service issue first and foremost. Additionally if you can't own the game you buy I can't view it as stealing. If there is a crack for Civ 7 or Dragons Dogma 2, I'll probably buy a copy then get the cracked version for performance.

No. You, flicker, are clearly in charge of all the decisions of the US Government when it comes to foreign interference.

Lived near there once. It was truly amazing to see how unified the entire populus was. Nobody ever got into fights over anything, and there certainly weren't any stabbings at a bar in town while I was there.

Thanks for explaing it so succintly for those that read after. I'll add that this also expands the options avaliable to Ukraine in future combat fronts, pulling Russian attention and resources, and likely securing more current information on Russian troops. Not that Aurix will try to think about it or be convinced.

Well, that's your perogative I guess. The physical location, history, heritage, and burden on the neighbors where you move to matter to me, but can understand prioritizing lives over places to a degree. Someone still needs to hold aggressors accountable though, and a proxy war feels more responsible than getting directly involved risking even more escalation than current. Thanks for responding.

I've been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live? Not looking for a debate here, discuss cold drinks vs hot drinks instead. Appreciate either answer. ❤️ Edit: Thanks for the answers all. I'm super proud how productive eveyone kept this talk. I figured most of you had very different experiences than I. I'll share my most recent experience. I don't have a firearm, but have considered it after being trained enough. When sharing this with "normal" people around town, I had multiple people offer to sell or gift me a gun where the serial number was scratched off and non-traceable. I ofter heard, "oh man, yeah. You need a gun." I have literally never needed one. The fact that people offer to give me one when I don't have a liscence or training shows the mindset of the minority here and how much of a problem a few individuals can make to safety within the current system.
I didn't actually watch it. No idea if it was good or not.
