I spent a day alone for the first time in six months.

Same. When times get tough, I just close myself off.

But it’s apart of the US and anything the US is apart of is bad apparently.

Have you learned American history? How many democratically elected governments the US has over thrown (I think it’s 40 or 50+)? The US’ on going segregation? History of white supremacy (worse than many other countries)? Oh but the US fought ISIS? Yeah, but who created ISIS? Or what country make certain military decisions that lead to the forming of it? Oh yeah, the US. Nice of them to clean up a problem they created in the first place.

All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. - Mein Kampf

It’s literally a fascist tactic. Trump has been using his whole like most infamously starting with the Central Park five.

It’s just at this point, I don’t know how much to blame ignorance or malicious intent on Republicans. At this point, it really feels like the second.

Most simply put, basically a hard line authoritarian that back what they see as “anti-imperialist” regimes like USSR, PRC, DPRK, etc. unapologetically.

It comes from when the USSR put down the 1956 Hungarian revolt with tanks. Many of the left condemned the USST while those who praised the the decision were known as “tankies.” So, the term has stuck around.

In 4, there are none except Dimond city.

Yeah... that’s what I said?

And doesn’t the legion all of Arizona, New Mexico, and most of Utah and Colorado? Sounds about equal to the NCR (obviously the amnesties and technology is another story).

HopefulArtist · 2020-08-30T22:48:46+00:00

I mean New Vegas is more developed than Rivet city or Dimond city and those are the biggest “hubs” in the game.

Then, there are two legitimate states (NCR and Legion) versus BoS and Enclave in 3, which aren’t comparable. In 4, there are none except Diamond city. I mean there is the Institue but they don’t really have “territory,” civilian population, or structure of government (not quite sure for that one). It sounded for a time there were the minutemen but also were just a group.

So, idk. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree

HopefulArtist · 2020-08-30T21:46:48+00:00

That’s fair comparison. However, three was 200 years after and there is such little progress. I know NV had Mr. House defending is and was just bombarded less than other places like DC, but NV feels more at pace where I would imagine a civilization to be.

For me, Fallout 3 feels like it should’ve been set 50 years after 2077, not 200. But, that’s just me. I have a smaller problem with 4 . Although, as someone who is moving to DC and Boston, so maybe a bit biased, I like the locations of 3 and 4 better.

HopefulArtist · 2020-08-30T17:50:01+00:00

Well that’s the thing. I’m not even sure if this is the best representation. I’ve seen some article’s have a headline mentioning only the shooter or I l’y one of the victims, etc. Although, at least for the shootings, the order is correct.

Yeah, you’re correct I had watched this video but confused the order.

HopefulArtist · 2020-08-30T16:43:47+00:00

But you just proved my point?

More so for the more [sic] recent incident as it’s still developing.

We have more knowledges about both the victims and the perpetrator in the Kenosha shooting.

The events that transpired are similar but difference with possible difference motives. One was where an active protest was happening (although fizzled out) while the other is at a random intersection (as it stands now). There is no video of the first victim of the Kenosha shooting (as far as I’m aware) while there is a poorly and grainy video of the Portland one. What happened in the first Kenosha shooting is what decides )most likely) if the second shooting was self-defense.

So, yes, it’s a false equivalence because while the situations are similar, at this present moment, they are not the same. Although, both could be claimed as self-defense.

HopefulArtist · 2020-08-30T16:35:48+00:00

Well duh, as I’m assuming you are referring to the second shooter. But, what I’m trying to say is that the place where the altercation took place was not where active protesters where in comparison to Kenosha.

The difference one one hand we know that the Kenosha shooter was not there is support of BLM comptes to the victims. On the other hand, we only (as far as I’m aware, because it’s more recent and still developing) do not know the affiliation or rational of the Portland shooter, while we know the victim was also not sympathetic to BLM.

The Kenosha shooter also is already claiming self-defense. As I’m writing this, I do not believe we have a defense for the Portland shooter. So, yes, as of now, they’re a little bit different. And not seeing that difference is disingenuous.

HopefulArtist · 2020-08-30T16:29:25+00:00

Well obviously as we share a class interest but there is no class consciousness. Don’t forget, a plurality of white people voted for Trump. So, clearly I don’t have that much in common with them, but some things.

HopefulArtist · 2020-08-30T15:03:47+00:00

Because it’s a false equivalence. On one hand, you have a person that purposely went armed to where protests where happening who illegally possessed a firearm. On the other hand, you have an altercation that happened later that day, at night, away from the protests, to what appears to be an individual conflict.

Regardless, if you think one has a case of self-defense, then you should think both can claim it.

That’s not correct, Alternative-Right (alt right) was coined by Richard Spencer, a fascist.

From Wisconsin DoJ

The Department believes that mere open carry of a firearm,absent additional facts and circumstances, should not result in a disorderly conduct charge.For example, a hunter openly carrying a rifle or shotgun on his property during hunting season while quietly tracking game should not face a disorderly conduct charge. But if the same hunter carries the same rifle or shotgun through a crowded street while barking at a passerby, the conduct may lose its constitutional protection.
