Yeah that’s not true. Semiautomatic assault rifles are very common in the US, more available by far than full auto.

Oh I’m not giving it a pass at all. It’s morally reprehensible. But there are logical reasons why people do it.

If I get one I take a picture of it and then throw it away.

Some states’ legalization enshrined the right of private citizens to grow, which imo is the only real legalization.

Do we?

First of all, even the odds a bit by keeping the knowledge of how to survive to yourself.

Real talk. It sounds like they’re trying to help. So use their help to focus on the main problem, which is extrication from this horrible situation. They can help you navigate the many hurdles on the way to independence. It is probably possible. But will involve a lot of applications, appointments, networking, etc. You definitely need a contingency plan as well if things get too spicy quick. IE bug out bag and church basement/shelter/friendly business/friend where you can crash til you get your systems sorted.

I’d also ask them to let you know if you ever get close to that line where they have to report, if you don’t want them to. Help them play the game. They have signalled that they are willing. Work through the logistics of independence first, trauma later.

It’s usually not that simple. And “most likely” does not a foolproof logistical plan make.

If you think you don’t like eggs, try some actually decent fresh ones some time.

We should probably boycott the Internet.

They’re already talking about just taking Greenland, and probably Antarctica. Climate change is locked in.

Ok but Airbnbing out your bioweapons lab is just bad opsec.

If Mossad was doing it then the CIA was at the very least complicit.

It can be both.

The Pentagon funds the scouts? FFS…

It should be like jury duty imo.

Great. Practice for the rest of the MIC. Too bad the rest of Congress is firmly in their pockets.

To be fair it’s not on most people’s necks yet. 80% of people are free to ignore what’s happening so far. And most of them have. But the ratchet will click. Likely as not the world will get the bloody spectacle they apparently are craving.

First time you’ve been right in this thread.
