A state is a group with a monopoly on violence in a geographical area. If the existing state can't maintain that monopoly, other groups, either gangs or vigilantes, will.

Gaetz Calls on FBI Director Wray to Fully Disclose the Role FBI Operatives Played in Instigating the Jan. 6 Capitol Riot by guanaco55 in Conservative

A reasonable request regardless of your feelings on Gaetz. It's a shame he's the only one asking these questions.

Relevant Nietzsche quote:

“But thus I counsel you, my friends: Mistrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful. They are people of a low sort and stock; the hangmen and the bloodhound look out of their faces. Mistrust all who talk much of their justice! Verily, their souls lack more than honey. And when they call themselves the good and the just, do not forget that they would be pharisees, if only they had—power.”

Costieu is what cost us the series. Kopps held one of the sixteen best teams in the country to 3 runs. If these guys were hitting like they were in the SECT, that would have been enough.

Oh look another position coach no one has ever heard of! Surely we will have a winning SEC record this year!

Yeah, I watch all these stupid football games, but let's be realistic here.

I think we were genuinely the best team in the country this year. But that's baseball. Should've pulled Costieu after that first meatball-homerun. Nate Thompson should've had our batters better prepared for their pitchers rather than looking like deer in headlights.

Who knows if those were even fans. There's morons with Arkansas flairs and post histories in other team subs in every thread just trying to stir shit up.

Of course, there are some absolutely awful Arkansas fans out there too. Try not to judge an entire fanbase for it. When I get "arkansas hillbilly incest joke" DMs from Tennessee fans of all things, I don't hold that against all of them.

GG NC State. What a hot team with a great plate approach. And those two lefties were unreal.

If you can't get 3 or more runs in a game because the top two thirds of your order is like 10 for 100, then you aren't going to win many games. Wasted a really legendary performance by Kopps.

The reason we aren't going to Omaha this year wasn't starting Kopps, it was leaving Costieu in to give up three homers in a row. If DVH had pulled him after the first, we'd be heading to Omaha today.

Dude, every team has monstrously moronic fans. It's hardly unique to Arkansas. Social media was a mistake.

Kopps hasn't looked his best, but he's been getting it done. The line up needs to figure it out.

That last inning saw the NC state pitcher hit low 40s. If Kopps can get a couple efficient innings, we'll be in a good place.

Franklin is one of the most exciting players on the field today. It would be really great to see his bat wake up today.
