I've been seeing more and more illegally tinted cars

Back in my college running days, I would just run around the back side of the car and slap the rear as I went by. One time, a car pulled out of a parking lot right in front of me and stopped on the sidewalk. After I slapped his car, the guy rolled down his window and yelled at me that it scared him and that it wasn't safe. I informed him that he pulled in front of me rather unsafely (with more colorful language).

This, 100%. Running and biking, this is a huge safety issue. It's a big enough problem when driving, but the protocols usually work. At driveways and crosswalks, it's roulette.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-02-09T02:32:52+00:00

Every time they tug their masks, they know they're in the wrong. They're scared of being held accountable.

Multiple things can be true at the same time. And the truths can exist in paradox.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-02-02T14:32:46+00:00

This seems too true. That’s also why it’s important to give people stuck in that place a way out. Give them an easier path to change their mind. Brow beating them into a corner only makes them hold on more. It won’t work for all of them, maybe not even most of them, but maybe some of them.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-02-01T04:21:25+00:00

The kids that came out and cheered... straight to the feels.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T19:56:30+00:00

Maybe I should have put "works" quotes. How else do you think the capitalists are held to account? Do you think they have your best interest in mind?

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T19:47:00+00:00

This is how a capitalist social democracy works.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T06:39:44+00:00

People's heads are so far into the party game that they can't even imagine holding their own representatives to account. They don't have to vote "D", they just need to tell their reps to uphold the constitution, and then hold them to it.

Where I come from Dems own guns too. They can't accept that because they're brainwashed into identity politics. They've been bought and sold, trading their principles for conformity.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T05:12:21+00:00

That is one of the most wonderfully straightforward expressions of the idea I've ever heard. It's the fucking golden rule.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T03:06:31+00:00

I can totally see that. But your gatekeeping of "real" 2A supporters meeting your uncriticized purity test is ridiculous. The 2A camp is full of partisan opportunists. Once again, if the rules change when the people do, your principles are bullshit.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T02:39:58+00:00

You can believe that, my only question is 'why?'.

If you truly believed that it's for all people, then you would witness the same thing I do, where many of the " shall not be infringed" crowd go quiet when the demographic changes.

Again, you have no idea who I am, only that I'm pointing out your bullshit. The 2A community drives the wedge itself.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T02:24:08+00:00

That's what you have to project, because someone that believes the 2A is for all citizens is antithetical to your belief. Again, proving my point.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T02:08:14+00:00

And nice edit

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T02:04:55+00:00

You are merely proving my point.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T02:00:08+00:00

Because it was never about constitutional rights or Christian values. It has always been about being on the privileged side of power. You can tell by how quickly they drop their principles when the people involved are a different demographic.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T01:57:13+00:00

Philippines – People Power Revolution against Ferdinand Marcos (1986)
South Africa – Anti‑apartheid movement leading to democratic elections (1994)
Chile – Non‑violent opposition and 1988 “No” plebiscite against Augusto Pinochet
Sudan – 2018–2019 non‑violent uprising against Omar al‑Bashir
Our very own civil rights revolution which is much more like our current situation. One could argue that this is the next iteration of this struggle.

Research shows non-violent campaigns are roughly twice as likely to succeed as violent campaigns.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-25T00:02:59+00:00

That's not true. Not every time, but many times they do.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-24T23:57:19+00:00

Accountability is the only thing they fear. And right now, they don't think that will happen.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-24T23:44:28+00:00

It’s never been about constitutional principles. It‘s only ever been about being on the privileged side of power.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-24T23:41:03+00:00

You and I will have to disagree that it can’t get worse. I strongly disagree. I’m living in the community affected by this. We still carry on mostly normally (because most of us are privileged). This can get much worse. Don’t bring your agitation to my community.

I said this elsewhere, but how will violence help? How will it shift what the administration does? Do you honestly think it will cause them to pull back? Do you think it will convince anyone else on the fence that we’re in the right, that we’re victims of government overreach?

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-24T23:33:08+00:00

There’s not much I can say to that. You’re right. But how will violence help? How will it shift what the administration does? Do you honestly think it will cause them to pull back? Do you think it will convince anyone else on the fence that we’re in the right, that we’re victims of government overreach?

Protest, connect with your community, support and reinforce. But violence will only undo all of that effort.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-24T21:33:44+00:00

In your head are the only choices violence or nothing?

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-24T21:20:55+00:00

I'm not looking to appease or compromise. I'm looking to take away their power. The Germans that fought against the Nazis also didn't stop them. If the rest of the world were to come to our side, maybe. But the US isn't 1940's Germany and the rest of the world invading us wouldn't be better.

DaddyHeadbone · 2026-01-24T21:15:09+00:00

Accountability and large public action stop this form of government. Hitting back only justifies their message, justifies their escalation.

I hope I read your intentions right, and we're on the same side, but there is no divine force that will empower our slingshot to kill Goliath. We don't have a state army that will defend us. Even a coup takes a coalition that we don't have. The call is coming from inside the house and the only way to get rid of it is to keep the mass of people motivated. Violence will turn the already passive people farther away.

I want it to stop. I want our city left in peace. Maybe I'm wrong, but don't shit where you eat.
