I’ve seen your and other similar comments getting a lot of downvotes. Are people suggesting it’s acceptable innocent people have to fear for their and their family’s safety, because they choose to uphold the law?

It’s funny you mention echo chambers because most of what I’ve seen here is just that.
You can’t go into a community and disagree with something without getting downvoted into oblivion. The hivemind here is the same as it is on Reddit, the difference being is that more people are left-leaning on the political spectrum, but hivemind nonetheless.
As ridiculous as that sounds, that is basically the explanation they gave me.
Wtf. That’s all I can say.
This is by far the best one.
No harsh words or vulgarity but lots of emotional damage.
I think that they believe, because of the money they have, that they can find ways to mitigate a lot of the effects of climate change.
Aircondition, all sorts of high end isolation, the ability to afford fresh food and water that’s becoming too expensive for us normies, being able to just move to whatever place on the planet that is still nice to live, …
But a handful of billionaires got even richer so it was all worth it.

They basically explained that people are being told that healthcare/social security is socialism and they’re being told that socialism is just communism under a different name and therefore is bad.
Yeah I never understood that ( I’m from Scandinavia or as your conservatives describe it - that socialist hellhole ). I recall seeing a study some years ago that the US spends many billions a year more on healthcare than it would with universal healthcare.
So what if my taxes pay for the treatment of someone’s cancer? It goes the opposite way too, healthcare that I need is being paid for as well and nearly everyone needs some sort of hospital or emergency care at least once in their life - regular doc appointments likely once or twice a year. Over here, I make an appointment and walk out without paying or even seeing the bill.
I would simplify taxes as being the cost of being part of society and therefore the tax money should be put back into that society to benefit the people being part of it. Healthcare, education, maintenance of public roads/buildings/parks/…
It’s not theft, IF the government puts that money to good use e.g. health care, education, maintain roads, utilities, …
I guess you write a bunch of gibberish, press execute and hope something happens?
