It seems seems dubious to me too. But the ‘gr’ in migrants would sound roughly the same as ‘gger.’ The problem is… well. He seems to start it with an ‘n’ and then also mis-inflects the ‘i’?
It would be like trying to say ‘clickable’ and instead saying ‘slacker.’
Mad sus.
Was a nobody. You’re literally reading about it on social media and news sites and having a conversation about it with strangers now.
He was a nobody and was writing things no one was reading.
But why just that one? You’d think they’d replace it. Makes it look purposeful, like they were trying out a new funny font.
It’s cool, that works. He downvoted it, so I guess it served its purpose. 😄
Ok but fr what is going on there
Wait. Cmon dude. Trump says “fight” and people scream stochastic terrorism, this guy says you’re free to kill Trump if you’re not a coward and you’re like “naw, that’s just poetic license?” Don’t be obtuse.
I live in a state with very loose gun laws and a high percentage of gun ownership, and I started learning how to identify where people “print” on their bodies and identifying people concealed carrying. Then I started googling random stickers I would see on cars in front of me at drive thrus or just walking around.
I was honestly shocked at how many people are, or are likely, carrying a pistol. And how many people advertise it with their choice of clothes, brands, bumper stickers, etc. Once you start seeing it, it’s everywhere.
The most obvious ones are the ones that basically buy all the “grey man” clothes. They scream “I’M ARMED, LOOK AT ALL THE ALMOST NORMAL LOOKING, NON-DESCRIPT TACTICAL CLOTHING I’M WEARING.” 🤣
Like sure, dude, you’re just a guy with a beard and an over-curled hat brim that “happens” to like wearing a fanny pack with your cargo shorts.
I was at Target buying bar soap and they sell a “tactical” shower caddy where you can put your manly, camo loofah and your body beating beast bar soap. At Target! I’ll tell you what, a camo loofah ain’t communicating what they think it is lol
My guess is you’re talking to a middle-aged white guy with a white-collar job, probably in something related to IT, web development, or something similar who has parents that are likely doing fine.
Being confused as to why it would seem natural for you to help your family if they need you and you can do it really says a lot about his own “cultural tendencies” and privilege.
Middle, upper-middle, and upper class=wealth flows down.
If you’re poor, and sometimes just not white, wealth flows where it’s needed. Coworkers were very confused why I’m trying to save money to help my parents – who do and have always rented – when they’re too old to work.
Like they literally struggled to wrap their minds around the idea that a) not only can my parents not afford to retire, b) they can’t afford care when they can no longer work, c) they currently take care of my grandma who is in that position right now, d) I don’t, haven’t, and won’t be receiving some sort of windfall in the form of property or money when they die, e) the best off of me and my siblings are who tries to help out financially for the siblings that are having tougher times, not our parents.
They looked at me like I had grown a second head, but I work around almost exclusively upper middle class white people.
Didn’t it literally just happen there like two weeks ago when LAPD TSD used force against someone evading fare and they ran, jumped onto the tracks, and were then electrocuted and run over by a train?
LA metro rail has yearly ridership of a little less than 62 million.
NYC has yearly ridership of over 1.3 BILLION.
These aren’t remotely the same systems.
Yes, let’s look to the LAPD for better policing practice. Wow.
They must have been studying Exodus 22:18.
Edit: For those downvoting, that’s one of the like dozen reasons you can kill your wife or a woman generally in the Bible. (If she be a witch, ya see.) Maybe he whispered, “hey, shake your head if you’re a witch,” and then she did, so he followed the word of God.
Is it more racist to assume it was a lynching because he’s black so therefore any death involving a rope – an accident, happenstance, autoerotic asphyxiation, suicide – must be a lynching, or to assume that it might not be a lynching because it would be stereotyping and objectifying black bodies to assume any death involving or related to a rope must be a lynching? 😬
I mean there is literally video of him buying the rope that he was found with from Walmart, buying smokes from a smoke shop, which were found next to his body, him driving to where his body was found, and not returning to his truck. There was no signs of assault or trauma. It would be pretty crazy if someone happened to stumble upon him near a tree with a rope and smokes and was able to then lynch him without him resisting.
A group of politicians were shot up at their baseball game, an Arizona politician was shot in the head, there were two assassination attempts on Trunp in two months. Elon travels around with a 20- person security team. Meta spent ~45 million last year on Mark Zuckerberg’s security. So, I think even your pessimistic description is inaccurate.
If you think gun control is far away now, we’re SUPER far away from much if any regulation on pistols. Everyone tends to focus on the scary black rifles, because they’re associated with the bigger mass shootings, and bigger mass shootings are often indiscriminate, so it scares middle- and upper-middle class white people and white women in general. This is generally born out in polling demographics around “banning assault rifles.”
Handguns are the overwhelming murder weapon of choice in gun murders in the US, as in this case. Meanwhile the scary rifles are used in about 3% of gun murders.
Yet people will regularly and plausibly talk about banning “assault rifles” but the idea of banning handguns isn’t ever mentioned. Not that it matters much, the US has pretty clearly decided to make guns more protected than than women’s bodies or children’s lives.
It would take a) a president willing, b) a shift in public opinion, c) a dramatic recomposition of the supreme court, d) multiple court cases, and e) possibly an amendment to the constitution, at this point, to actually get some national gun control in the US. So, I guess it just is what it is.
And what it is is hella fucked.
As I recall, in terms of the electoral college, neither Biden nor Harris have, at any point, been projected to beat Trump. It’s not “becoming” scary, it’s been scary for quite some time.
