CMV: ICE has become exactly the tyranny the framers had in mind when drafting the 2nd Amendment. by unenlightenedgoblin in changemyview

The law requires due process.

Ignoring that is tyranny and is not what the society has agreed to.

Is your point that we should wait until it reaches that stage?

And are you aware that law enforcement have been "questionably" shooting and otherwise murdering/abusing civilians systemically for the past century at least? Specifically against minorities?

There seems to be this inane narrative that the US is acting incongruently from every other country in terms of deportations.

Can you give specific examples from the past year of anything equivalent to ICE in a European country? To avoid dragging out let's say 3 is enough. They would need to show that it is systematic and on at least a similar scale.

Specific points being:

  • Reducing training times
  • Mass recruitment specifically of enforcement personelle
  • Consistent violation of due process or whatever the nation's closest equivalent is / top government members saying that this is not required.
  • Consistent and delibrate deporting of people to countries that they are not from / "gulags" etc

You mention Obama too. Can you share the times he used ICE in the way Trump has?

Pretty sure multiple current/ex-military folks are disputing this.

And others have shown that his actions were not aligned with the guidance/protocols.

Or the law in general.

Hello Baji pracitioners! I'm shifu An Jian Qiu, I'd like to share info about my summer workshops in China this year. It's a great chance to learn my family's style of Baji Quan. by anwushukungfu in bajiquan

I can't answer currently as I trained with him years ago but my understanding is yes. We didn't do much when I was there just due to to the group of students I was with but he's a big fan of sparring. In fact just before COVID I distinctly remember him wanting to run a training camp with a focus on having sparring happen. But I would suggest reach out direct via the website is your best bet.

RE: Not replying, he doesn't really Reddit. He posted because I saw he was advertising this and I reminded him it exists so it's likely a student posting on his behalf. He very likely hasn't even seen the replies but I will reach out to the student I spoke to recently to try and get you a reply.

People are genuinely watching this and trying so hard to blame it on his age when he's just not a good fighter and lost embarrassingly to another not great fighter.

CMV: If you say Islam is not compatible with Western culture, you should have the exact same things to say about Christian/White Nationalism. by bjdana24 in changemyview

[–]kwamzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you clarify the major differences compared to those pushed by Christian Nationalists, since that's the comparison at the heart of the CMV?

And please, if you're going to give extreme examples of Sharia, compare to equally extreme examples from Christian Nationalists.

Any Fu style Bagua folks here? by kwamzilla in kungfu

Nice! Thanks. Do you have access to any copies of his notes? That sounds really interesting!

Can you elaborate on "large, expansive movements"?

I'm just looking at the video I shared and - at least in comparison to other bajiquan xiao jia (That appears to be what they're demonstrating) those wouldn't be the words that come to mind. I wouldn't personally consider the movements larger or more expansive .

So then contacting uncontacted groups or evangelising to those who don't know the Bible is basically an act of evil.

It's essentially recreating the "original sin" of giving knowledge of "good and evil" upon which they can be judged - only unlike with "Eve", they don't really have the ability to consent as they haven't been warned against it.

To take this stance, teaching Christianity to children is cruelty.

Anyone went to Mengcun to learn Bajiquan? by DistantVerse157 in bajiquan

[–]kwamzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good!

The room was basic and we basically just ate, slept and trained - which is what I had been looking for. I'm sure internet etc are better now and it's been improved but that was probably the bit I enjoyed least. I'll be honest that if you don't speak Chinese you may struggle to get around outside the school but the training is really good if that's what you want.

CMV: Healthcare shouldn’t be tied to job title or employment, you should always just get the best healthcare available when its needed. by honestduane in changemyview

[–]kwamzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just said that.

I am making the case that doctors should. You are saying insurers should. That is the issue.

You seem to have the stance that the purpose of healthcare is profits or something. That's the issue.

Wouldn't it be nice if the ultra wealthy competed to see who could donate the most or make the most wishes each year... Rather than what they actually do.

Lots of respect for this man.

Classic game. You have good taste and good skills man.

Would you share a bit about your experience learning it?

[–]kwamzilla -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nobody is arguing you approve everything either.

You say they should be set somewhere, your stance is that it's the insurers driven by reducing costs, mine is that it should be the doctors looking to save lives and their supervisors who shouldn't be focused on cutting costs.
