I fear the day they lose weight, ditch the political shirts, stop wearing masks, let hair return to natural, get tats removed, and repair face piercings. You might think they are normal and not avoid like a Coral snake or Amazon frog.
Sedentary lifestyles
Recall your childhood. If born ~1985 or earlier you were active as much as you could be. Why? That's what you did. And if you watched a movie you may have biked to the theater. VHS machines and rentals still at the high end of the scale. Home computers and gaming still out a ways out for most homes. You may have had an Atari 2600 but that was most likely and end of day thing to do. As was watching TV and on school nights it was limited.
Late 80s though, computers & complex role playing games emerged as did portable gaming (Gameboy). Cable became pervasive, you could stay in and be entertained (indoctrinated) rather than go outside and entertain yourselves. Get together with friends after school or on weekend? Maybe or maybe not. Yes, the above is over-simplified but there is no denial that all of this compounded exponentially. And now all the above done on a device you carry around.
Most of the Jamaicans that make it to the US are based. Old Wayan's show Living Color had a regular bit called Ey Mon about a Jamaican family. Criticized anyone not having more than 2 jobs. "You lazee ting, you need 3 job at least, no, 4 job. How you get by?".
Lived in a deep blue state most of my life. Liberals, specifically white liberals, are the most racist, exclusionary, condescending, and hypocritical people as a group you will ever find. And it's all quiet & hushed up. No one talks about it but to show they are open minded and accepting you get BLM & transfaggot flags in front of their churches, open borders support (because it won't ever affect their bubble >they believe<) and on & on. They aren't only insecure, they are fearful. They understand the power of the machine and how they would be crushed if they don't go along. They want to keep what they have so they parrot the narrative. Trump is a rapist, covid vaccine is safe & effective, Biden gaffs are taken out of context, etc. And they are easy to spot, they still wear masks!
Working class for the most part get along because they are in contact with alltypes, black, hispanic, asian, etc. They have to get along, they work together. White liberals however cluster in upper end jobs and their credentialism keeps it that way. The closest truly wealthy ones get to diversity is seeing someone mowing their lawn off in the distance. And by that they can think what a great person they are giving them an opportunity. But as you saw when DeSantis dumped them on Martha's Vineyard (super white liberal enclave) they got them the hell out at warp speed. We live in interesting times as this behavior becomes harder and harder to hide.
By "insurgent network" you mean NGOs. Those only stay afloat from huge cash infusions which they in turn hand out to operatives for "direct action", AKA rent-a-riots. No cash and those implode immediately with the ones at the top grabbing whatever they can and fleeing. Without direction you have unfocused mobs. They will almost certainly turn to burning, looting, and murder but that would be short lived and easily put down. Could be a rough couple weeks though if you are near.
The classic game, accuse you of what they are guilty of, it's always the opposite.
Like any Bill thru Congress that has Safety, Protect, or Patriot in title, it's not.
One other point, do you recall this one?
Oh what a difference 30 years makes, bad guy even badder in right pic.
Read some of the articles about it here -

They all have the same lighthearted "Oh wasn't that crazy?" tone. Reminds me exactly of V for Vendetta when the talking heads comment on why the Old Bailey was blown up. Whatever this meant it is the exact opposite of what they are saying.
The further back shot highlights the AR15 pattern gun he used. You know, the one that needs to be banned? IMO these shooting will keep happening until the message received that anyone owning one a potential killer and they must be banned
/...the killings will continue until morale improves...
"Needs to be finished" parsed as killed. Likely automated comment moderation. Some of it is cumulative, you hit a threshold of triggers and get the boot. If you really care that much get a vpn and create a new account.Or, if posting from your home computer use tor or post from your phone. Many ways to evade a ban. But the real question is if you were banned over a benign comment is the site really worth participating on?
Good article on ZH yesterday about the likely reason this moronic idea made it thru the marketing group. More interesting was the comments section. Nearly every one adamant they would never buy the product again and that any mea culpa was now weeks past when it would have mattered.
More interesting though was the lack of obvious trying to slide comments. When Gillette shot themselves in the foot 2019 comments sections across the web were full of "It's only an ad buttercup." & "Don't we have more important things to discuss, why are we wasting time on this?" type posts to slow momentum. Does not seem to be the case now.
Could the paid trolls be too few and too overwhelmed now? Not enough of them to get in and shape the desired response because so much is happening each day/week? I'd like to think that is the case, just too much to raid and contain as in the past. The worst was during Obama then the last 2 years of Trump.
/we'll see
It's an amazing moment in corporate hubris and bad decisions. Would hope that it gives pause to other companies but probably not because of ESG & DIE diktats. The money influence has to be staggering for them to continue with this bullshit.
you'll be surprised even Coors 50% owned by you guessed it Anheuser-Busch
Coors is part of Molson-Coors, no affil with AB InBev. There was a deal with InBev over the Miller brand which Coors owns in the US rights and InBev internationally.
I lost my job in 2008 when company shifted to China manufacturing. Financial chaos and I sold off my guns. Figured then I could rebuy when my situation improved. Eventually it did but the amount of new people buying guns both created shortage and pushed prices waaaaaay up. Especially so on older/collectible ones which was what mine were, should have bought back in 10 years ago. Need to get on that especially now. But the takeaway is that the gun owner base has never been stronger and that frankly amazes me.
A sibling lives there. Her comment on it that CO was hard right red until ~12 years ago. The left anchored their majorities in a few big cities and drive the state from that. The rest of the state too spread out to make a difference now. Is that how you see it too?
Yep. Where they are still strong they will clamp down harder. It's exactly "The beatings will continue until morale improves." mindset. And it's ultimately a loser because the more they clamp down the more the previously oblivious are affected, take notice, and begin to think "Hey, wait a minute...". That's good. Pretty soon it wlll only be a handful of progressive enclaves all in on the state boot and hard to hide that it's them wanting to retain power at all costs.
Recall reading similar about laboratory kitchens within major food companies. The goal is to engineer desire not satiety. It's why the ingredients on so many "foods" look like a page from an chemistry book. Doritos & Cheetos mentioned and that the seasoning blend and carb structure engages pleasure centers in brain so you want to eat one after another even after you are full.
Same for every fast food offering, processed meat, ice cream, boxed cookies, chips, and on & on. I gave up junk food 5 years ago and although I do not smoke would liken the cravings upon quitting as similar. It was 4 weeks of struggle. And now it's remarkable when I do get something. The desire immediately returns to order the same thing again. I can resist easily knowing what is going on.
