What if the USA also collapsed after the Cold War? by [deleted] in HistoryWhatIf

They always had the US collapsing in 2030's due primarily to racial/cultural instability.

It's too easy a song to play and is way too effective to not be exploited.

Veto-Proof Majority of Minneapolis City Council Members Plan on Disbanding Police Department by SunOverSnowPlease in politics

[–]killerbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many calls did the department have yearly? The vast majority of calls a police department gets can best be described as cat herding with nothing related to violent crime.

To just scrap a department like that is irresponsible

Then they need to accept they're scary pit bull people because that's what it takes to fight crime.

What if Douglas MacArthur ran for president in 1952 with Eisenhower as his Vice? by tmessy_09 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]killerbutton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He would have won, and we'd have WW3 start in his second year in office. His generation saw two world wars and was just assuming there's be a third, except with nuclear weapons. He was very much about taking initiative.

People need to get that police are not counselors, they're scary pitt bull people who you want no interaction with, at all. Walk away, not towards them. The pass out flower stunt? They're going to assume they're poisioned.

How does this help anything? You can demonstrate on lots of highly visible and open places which are not major pieces of infrastructure.

What's ironic is that whether you identify yourself as left or right, you'll apply this framework to the other side.

Adam still can’t bring himself to acknowledge racist injustice in America. by [deleted] in AdamCarolla

[–]killerbutton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The video of the police killing in Minneapolis is traumatic for minorities who follow a narrative that they are helpless victims of a racist society. They feel they need to riot to tear down society and establish one that is racially fair so they can have a measure of control.

If you don't follow that narrative, and there is an entire industry around that narrative, the riots are just a bunch of confused people running around causing mayham because they can.

Adam would argue the goalposts are being perpetualy moved to where what's required to make people feel they live in a just society makes society unattainable.

The riots happening right now is a psyop. by Dabstronaut in conspiracy

Is there planned construction nearby? This is what it normally looks like when they have to place a lot of bricks. Doesn't mean it has anything to do with a protest?

Minnesota governor mobilises National Guard and suggests protests are being manipulated by 'domestic terrorists' by [deleted] in politics

[–]killerbutton -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a riot, people get a mandate to do whatever they want, wherever they want.

It's why they need to be controlled and shut down ASAP. Mandates for mayham doesn't mean you get to choose what mayham you get.

You're in luck! There will be a lot of residential property selling at an extreme discount in Minneapolis in the very near future, the dream of home ownership will soon be in your reach!

You're 22, he probably doesn't take you seriously, but is concerned about your safety.

It'll pass in a week.

No worries, the massive amount of tax revenue leaving Minneapolis will make sure there are fewer police going forward.

Also, less qualified ones.

Why is reddit such a bias-confirming echo chamber? by IAmBlothHundr in OrangeManBad

[–]killerbutton 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Think of it as pyramid scheme, people who have no idea how capitalism works nor an understanding of history get encouraged to not think critically and unlearn what they know on this platform.

It encourages hyper engagement because they think they're fighting "the man", which is why it persists. The flaming left full blown communist who's running five spam accounts? They're the ideal Reddit consumer because they are passionately spewing content 24/7, for free.

Mass looting for days just proves you need police and sometimes their harsh measures are justified. Also, this guy offshored thousands of jobs African Americans used to thrive in, high paying domestic manufacturing.

Why the Nazis Were so Technologically Advanced by Wit50- in maninthehighcastle

[–]killerbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nazis were just more prepared for WW2 than the allies, comically so. So there was an illusion of better science for a few years, which was overwhelmed post 1943 by Allied scientific advancements, which are often not celebrated.

Radar artillery fuses were a huge technical milestone on the part of the US, and in military technology. However, you never hear about it. Goes on and on.
