By the time you see it your options to react will be too limited to be effective. This is why we keep getting fucked by the billionaire class. They’re planning years ahead and we only react when the threat is already imminent.

If they can, they will. They don’t respect anyone’s well-being or autonomy.

America is more than capable of looking bad without anyone’s help.

And he loved it because it’s exactly what he never got from his mommy.

These people need to be stopped. Seriously.

Lower population only threatens those who depend on populations, like leeches and parasites and vampires.

Any senator not taking bribes, or insider trade, or already wealthy, are now financially stressed during a shutdown. More war on the working class by the wealthy. If you haven’t noticed, the wealthy are driving changes they’ve long desired while they can.

Because you can’t get justice without having power.

Hehe had the same thing pop into my head

If the most powerful people in the world don’t have to care about the suffering they cause to hundreds of millions then I’m not going to be shamed into caring about insect’s supposed subjective experience of pain.

Fight fire with fire.

Yep. Their moral arrogance makes them socially aggressive, especially in the face of uncomfortable, practical realities. They refuse to acknowledge that they are the modern day version of the very morality policing they vilify from previous generations. They don’t see it because they don’t hold the same values or beleifs that the past generations did, and it is the beliefs and values they disagreed with, not the system.

I look at them and see the a similarly oppressive, prejudice, abusive social control system. They see that the beleifs and values are different. It was never that the whole system was wrong, it was that the system didn’t support their beleifs and values. Now that it does, and they control it, they’re content to engage in similar oppression and prejudice of the groups they dislike.

It has always been about control, in service to self interest. It was not about building a better, more just and fair society. It’s part of why the left and right are so far apart today and how Trump is in the white house, again, abusing the power of the executive almost exclusively for personal gain.

Yah, urban liberals can be exceptionally closed minded, in their own unique way.

To further that point, it’s guaranteed that what was normal, isn’t, anymore. Some things are, much isn’t. For example, few men, relatively, know how to hunt anymore or would be willing or able to kill an animal. Becoming able to do that has wide ranging impacts on who they are. This used to be normal. If we accept that the environment shapes us then when it changes, so do we, and with that, what is considered normal, shifts.

Respect the self control.

There are plenty of missing children, of all kinds of ages that went missing at all kind of times. So yes, they could have been. What was known of the situation more than justified taking some kind of action on behalf of the children, incase they were not hers.

One incident does not prove another.

We can’t know whether the prevalence rates have changed or by how much and its foolish to assume it’s only because of better awareness. The world we exist in has changed immensely and we are subject to the affects of those environmental changes.

If the state has good reason to believe someone had abducted children, I would want them to intervene, would you not?

Nobody knows the limit of their tools until those limits are known. Where did you decide they thought they were infallible? They followed the law they have, as is their job. Justice is not perfect, we don’t have all the answers, jumping to such vicious conclusions speaks more about you than them. The entire incident, and her successful appeal after further investigation, was like a year. Nobody threw the woman into prison for a decade or something. Seriously, people are so reactionary.
