    Abolish the Police? Those Who Survived the Chaos in Seattle Aren’t So Sure

    My favorite line was this one:

    Many are nervous about speaking out lest they lend ammunition to a conservative critique of the Black Lives Matter movement.

    Lol the NYT is reliable. I just love how that's phrased. People are afraid of speaking out against the woke mob not because the woke mob is destructive and dangerous. No. It's because those conservatives would opportunistically capitalize on their words.

      I know Ax and Mark were disgusted when Fox posted that photo that made it look like CHAZ was some sort of violent occupation. Ax and Mark, I'd love to hear your thoughts about CHAZ in light of these sorts of reports from those on the inside.

        Bump for Ax and Mark. I'm really looking forward to your thoughts on this.

          Speaking of utopias, here is the latest happenings in Portland.

          We should just let Portland protestors take over. The country only needs one more thought experiment to play out to understand anarchy.

            I would worry about Rainman if Portland is taken over by the woke mob. Without him, there would be nobody left who Ax listens to. I can beg for a response here but I despair of ever receiving one. I need Rainman to lend his voice. But would the woke mob allow him to post here?

                We live in a country where the citizens can make changes without violence. Some appreciation of that rarity in human history might be in order.

                  Trump hatred and various other forms of derisive disgust at conservatism is highly correlated with intelligence and wisdom. Both Ax and Mark were happy to share their derisive disgust at Fox News' picture of CHOP which painted a bleak and dishonest picture. I am eager to get insights into how this story interfaces with that disgust. I can't know, because as a person of relatively low intelligence and wisdom, I have no access to this disdain for conservatism, and I need guidance. It's as if they don't care enough about the world to try to improve it by sharing their thoughts?

                  Participation in a society is paramount to the health of that society, Ax and Mark. I can't say it as well as Rainman would say it, but please share your thoughts on this story, thank you in advance!

                        Wait.
                        Just WAIT for my good ol' buddy AX to have his hands and chin(s) stop shaking from anger, then he'll tear you all a new one.

                          Sometimes I wonder whether you really do have Ax's ear, Rainman. I've been keeping track and he has never once answered your requests for him to contribute his thoughts on a subject. I wonder if Ax really doesn't care whether you ask him questions. Ax, can you let us know whether you care whether Rainman asks you questions? Do you feel more, less, or the same obligation to provide your thoughts on a subject, after Rainman requests that you do so? I fear that your answer to that will be "less", which means that Rainman's requests are actually counter-productive to our long term project to learn as much as we can from you.

                            Horace, Horace, Horace. . .

                            You just don't understand the sophistication of me and the Ax. Weren't you paying attention in middle school?

                            Yeah, he does seem to be ignoring me a bit. Probably because his internet is down, or he can only be online a certain amount of time every day, or maybe the reception is bad downstairs. Or maybe he's out protesting, maybe even looting. Whoa! That's it, for sure. Oh no!!

                            Ax, have you been looting again??
                            Didn't you give that up when you stopped beating your doggie??

                            I'm sure that's it.
                            Poor little Fido, it was hit and miss for quite a while. And now. . .
