TexAgs politics board gems thread

The Aggies I know will NOT like that swipe at the Texas oil industry.

Yeah. That has to be fake. No true American would slander the oil industry in this manner. Also, does taking swipes at the "military industrial complex" take away your ability to "support our troops"?

upon second look, you might be right.  They love to play fake dress up soldiers and would never crap on the troops.

We know you guys are chomping at the bit for totalitarian rule in this country, so I thought we could use a little constitutional refresher in here..

Quote:
Second Amendment

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Now.. Let's read that last part again a little slower.

SHALL. NOT. BE. INFRINGED

I'm going to say this and move on.

Flame away if you want.

Dear diary,

What I'm thinking is that for the last 20 years, children have been bombarded daily at school, by movies, TV shows, cartoons, magazines, social media, stupid F-ing uneducated celebrities, Greta Thurnberg-- everywhere they turn, for their ENTIRE lives, they see fame, money, extravagant lifestyles, private jets and yachts, oceanside mansions- and are being told that the world will end in 12 years-- and it's all because their parents and grandparents won't stop driving an SUV. The last shooter in Buffalo two weeks ago described himself as an "environmental neo-marxist".

Now I ask you, when the hell did neo-marxists start giving a **** about climate change or the environment?

Kids are killing each other because they see NO FUTURE for themselves. They are fed a daily diet of fear porn about covid, monkeypox, other diseases-- and they are being screamed at about the environment being destroyed is what is causing all this. They have no control over the environment, so they feel their fate is sealed.

So, they pick up a gun-- because infamy is better than obscurity on this dying planet.


Just my 2 cents.

Wow, he's really shooting from the hip with his assumptions. Here's this from Wiki:

[Name withheld by Spracs] (May 16, 2004 – May 24, 2022) was born in North Dakota,[28] and was a resident of Uvalde and a student at Uvalde High School. According to classmates and friends of Ramos, he had a stutter and a strong lisp, for which he was often bullied, he frequently got into fistfights with classmates, and had few friends. Ramos was not on track to graduate from high school in 2022, as he was frequently absent from school. He worked at a Wendy's for a year but quit a month prior to the shooting. According to the night manager, Ramos went out of his way to keep by himself.[29]

A year before the shooting, Ramos started posting pictures to his Instagram account of automatic rifles that were on his wish list.[30] On May 17 and May 20, 2022, a few days after his 18th birthday on May 16, he legally purchased two semi-automatic rifles through a local gun store,[11][31] of which he posted a picture on his Instagram account three days before the shooting.[15][32][33] On May 18, he purchased 375 rounds of 5.56 ammunition.[11]

[catastrophe]

Blaming Greta for a school shooting is both a bit of a surprise and yet 100% on brand.

It's not MY problem it's THEIR problem

yeah, that one was pretty stupid even for a board of very stupid people

[mocat]

the dear diary thing is still so weird i have to pause to comprehend

[chum1]

Not finding the dear diary thing weird is probably a cause for concern.

So if guns are good for Ukranians to help the citizens protect themselves against tyranny and violence then explain why the same scenario should not apply here? This is very explicitly laid out in the Federalist papers as a reason for allowing private citizens the right to bear arms.

This is honestly one of the most interesting forms of doublespeak I have ever seen. It's not even hypocrisy, it's just straight cognitive dissonance. Well it's either that or they see Putin and Russians as a stand in for Trump and Republicans so this is their way of affirming they want us all dead.

[mocat]

that is incredible and sad

How does that guy make even 180k?   He is a total numbnuts

[star seed 7]

The 180k guy is a different dude. I think this bap guy is one of the posters that "has questions" about the holocaust though.

I’m with this guy. If we’re just going to start drawing arbitrary lines like giving arms to members of well regulated militias vs. any random whacko we might as well just throw the constitution right out the window.

lmao. He was soooooo close

It takes a special kind of derp to not understand that it's very fascinating to watch #blueanon lose their mind about guns in the United States while happily signing off on a blank check for war-death-destruction in far off lands while not even hinting at desiring peace talks and negotiations to end the bloodshed. 

That special kind of derp list will always include @star seed 7

It takes a kind of moral bankruptcy to not appreciate that people want both those things in order to prevent families from being massacred.

I know this is part of your act but don’t go full Texags.  Never go full Texags

[Kat Kid]

I think it is absolutely true that a significant number of people in our society feel hopeless. Blaming Greta is obviously unfair, but believing this may be the last hundred or two hundred years or 12 years or whatever is very damaging. I don’t think that is what this is about exactly, but if you can’t look around and see some last days coming vibes then Look a little closer.

Hopeless, angry, young men can be evil and we should probably reckon with what we can do about that and why they should have immediate access to weapons that can easily wipe out a classroom.

[catastrophe]

I legit cannot tell if that’s a KK post or an uncredited c&p from TexAgs.

[Kat Kid]

you should probably re-read it

[Dugout DickStone]

last days vibes were around a really, really long time before greta or even global warming warnings.
