Beats staying at home under quarantine, where all you get to say you did is not spread the virus to anyone. That kind of Facebook virtue signaling has seriously diminished returns.

Good encapsulating phrase!

Cut off all Federal aid, withdraw all Federal officers and judiciary.
Let them be as weird as they wish and as weird as the state will allow.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

There is definitely a troubling aspect to federal forces engaging with citizens but no doubt this is also very much a rhetorical was and the left is looking past real anarchists doing millions in damage as if that doesn’t matter.

I will never be clear about how true the emotions are that people lay claim to publicly when they know those alleged emotions are rhetorical evidence that the point they're making really matters. But "deeply troubling" tends to be a communicable emotional state that doesn't have to be based on anything real, so I suppose the emotions could just as easily be real. Claiming to feel them is really just claiming to have been told by your tribe that you should be feeling them.

Education is extremely important.

Those are the sorts of posts that boil down to you expressing a wish that people shut up about certain things, Cats.
Not my intention. I don't feel anything like that harsh. Rather, Loki sounds like he needs to refresh his soul.
Loki, I was not telling you to shut up.

I get out often and am quite happy. For all the critical thinking we teach kids in school it just amazes me how much worse the one sided has become. The irony is incredible.
I would prefer we left Portland alone and let the rioters do their thing. That would be the best lesson of all. I thought the CHAZ dystopia would teach people but we need another one in Portland combined with increasing deaths and the bills to come due for all the cities and all the damage done by riots.
Budgets are already being cut as a result. The first victims will be in education and healthcare as the governors are essentially ministers of health and education.
Loss of tax base due to businesses shuttered due to riots, and then the repair bills. If the Moms and Dads want to pay for it through increased taxes I am for that too.

You were telling him that by talking about those things, he betrayed a soul in need of refreshing. You were shaming him for talking about whatever it is that you would prefer people not talk about.
That's how I saw it too.

Do they get to stop paying into the federal treasury too?
There is a price to be paid for being weird.

Go ahead and find Constitutional support for the state to exact a price from the weird.

This time, it’s the “wall of vets”, as in military veterans forming a human wall to protect the protesters.
