I’ve known plenty of them. They sign up specifically because they want to do this job. Rember the dumb bullies from school? Imagine what happens when they grow up.

As someone who grew up fundamentalist-religious and right-wing, but then got out of it, it’s becuase of a few things:

• You’d have to restructure a lot of your world-view, and that is very hard. You have to take a fundamental part of how you see the world, discard it, and watch a bunch of other values and beliefs come crashing down. Rebuilding from that is scary and hard.

• You have a lot of social investment as being part of the “in-crowd” of your community. A lot of your friends/family/colleagues/social-circle all keep reinforcing your beliefs. This makes it hard to step away from those beliefs, because you feel like you are betraying that community. Many communities will indeed abandon you, especially if you go to the “other side”. You suddenly have to become the enemy that you’ve been rallying against.

• Sunk-Cost fallacy: You’ve already spent so much time and effort in this belief, that youre really hoping something will happen, and your faith in the person or system will be justified. Eventually it’ll pay off if you wait just a little longer. Of course, “wait a little longer” ends up being years and years, and at that point you have more compounded mistakes that you have to admit to. This makes you feel like a bigger idiot than if you had just admitted your mistakes up front.

tl;dr: It’s a cult!

My understanding is that for about 1/3 people, coffee acts as a crazy flush system

Behind the Insurrectionists

A lot of what he talks about prior to previous insurrections are pretty similar to what’s happening now.

I’m game, if they’ll let me in! I’ve been applying to jobs, and doing language learning for a couple of years now.

This reminds me of Sand Mandala

Once complete, the sand mandala’s ritualistic dismantling is accompanied by ceremonies and viewing to symbolize Buddhist doctrinal belief in the transitory nature of material life.

Quotes from one of his speeches:

…we, alongside the mujahidin, bled Russia for 10 years until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat….

So we are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah….

All that we have to do is to send two mujahidin to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private companies….

…every dollar of al-Qaida defeated a million dollars, by the permission of Allah, besides the loss of a huge number of jobs.

As for the size of the economic deficit, it has reached record astronomical numbers estimated to total more than a trillion dollars.

And even more dangerous and bitter for America is that the mujahidin recently forced Bush to resort to emergency funds to continue the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, which is evidence of the success of the bleed-until-bankruptcy plan…

And it all shows that the real loser is…you.

It is the American people and their economy.

And congrats on voting for genocide. I’m sure that everyone in the US who is losing their rights are happy that your party chose genocide, over winning what should have been an easy election.

No, I didn’t vote for either. It was pretty easy to vote against Harris, while also voting against this. Maybe next time the Dems should run a candidate that at least pretends to care about what the voters want. That tends to help in elections.

Yeah, which is why we loudly told the dem to stop running an unpopular campaign. It seems like she decided helping out with a genocide was more important than winning the election

I sure have. I’m not sure how that’s relevant to the conversation.

I always find it amazing that people want to blame those that couldn’t stomach to vote for genocide. Instead of blaming the ones with the money, the power, and the platform that chose to hand the election to Trump in order to keep supporting genocide.

Which 3rd party voter said that Trump would be better? I don’t think I’ve ever seen them say that.

I’ve only heard liberals who apparently are in support of genocide say that.

I literally wrote a script to automate sending funny videos and links to my SO.

I feel seen

Probably because we (Americans) bomb the shit out of countries that don’t play nice with us. I feel like us American citizens should be doing something about that.

I am a guy and have been told my whole life that girls are sooooooo jealous of my eyelashes.

Yes, they want butterfly kisses. It’s totally a thing

It works with yt-dlp!

But yeah, we probably shouldn’t be posting links to closed-off systems |:P

One of my favorite examples of this: Leviticus 11:13-19

“These are the birds you are to detest and not eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, the red kite, any kind of black kite, any kind of raven, the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.”

Most of these are either scavengers, or eat rodents which carry diseases that are awful to humans. The societies that ate them didn’t tend to last long.
