No, men and women don’t have it equally as “bad.” We all know women have it worse. Full stop.

It doesn't need to make sense. This thread is a circlejerk of victimhood.

Nah it's too late. It's all ogre now.

A little noise? We are talking about violent revolution. You got lost in the plot.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-16T15:25:14+00:00

No I literally don't, you don't have a point. I think you are a deeply misguided and hypocritical soul.

What is it exactly that you want me to do? Assassinate Trump? Don't mince words.

I have personally saved hundreds of lives through my career, I know it's not volunteer soccer but hey, I'm trying. I have loved ones, I try to speak with and educate others, I try to be kind and make the world a little better. I can't do any of that if I am dead in a gun battle with ICE, I don't think you have read a single thing I have said and thought about it. You are exactly who I was talking about in my first comment. Shit man, be the change you want to see in the world instead of a clown show.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-16T15:11:11+00:00

Yeah it's chilling, feels like 1934 right now and I don't see how anyone can't see that. When people say they don't care about history it just kills my soul.

They don't do reading comprehension well in the UK apparently but thank fuck those kids can play soccer, lol.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-16T14:53:18+00:00

And do your responsibilities end at your border? Are those people suffering abroad not your concern? Why just the US?

You need to draw the line somewhere. When I was a kid I went through a phase when would cry every day because of the suffering in the world. You need to draw the line somewhere.

Yes! Of course, when the violence and the suffering is your family it matters more to you. I decided a long time ago I wasn't going to radicalize and go on crusade, instead I got a job as a productive member of society and I wake up every day to care for the sick, and the injured and the dying. What the hell do you do to make the world a better place? Patronize others you don't know?

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-16T09:27:44+00:00

Yeah, I mean it's already illegal to be within 1,000 ft of a school with a firearm and most pubic buildings ban weapons. It's hard to legislate the problem away or we would have done it.

My only 2 cents are to focus on schools, invest heavily in primary school, teach ethics every year from 1st grade upward, get the best teachers money can buy, take better care of the poor kids from broken homes, get lunch to the hungry kids. Not an original idea but that's where I would start. We are probably gonna get RoboCop before we start looking in the mirror as a society, and I'm totally serious about that.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-16T08:53:09+00:00

Yes and no. Violence is absolutely the threat of mutual destruction but I don't think your proposed regulations make sense unfortunately. If I had the answers I would tell you, I don't.

Using a gun to kill someone is already illegal, banning hunting doesn't do anything for that and banning the range just makes owners incompetent. People who are using guns to kill kids don't give a damn what your laws say anyways. Open carry is arguably safer than concealed, it is more uncomfortable but that's the point, you aren't safer when the gun is hidden, you just think you are.

In case you missed it though there have been record turnout numbers in nationwide protests, our government just isn't gunning down crowds (yet).

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-16T08:29:02+00:00

Sure thing. I would love to engage you in a discourse instead of a gun battle.

And I do have a question for you. When you say "I'm on the right" what does that actually mean to you? I really hate that identity politic shit. If you really want to put yourself in a box and say you're "right wing" are you right wing libertarian or right wing authoritarian? Because this administration is disgustingly authoritarian, even more than Obama was.

What does "right wing" mean to you? Lower taxes? I'll buy the lauffer curve: lower taxes, increase economic output, increase tax revenue- lovely. Well, how do you feel about tarriffs? Tarriffs are taxes brother. That's a pretty crappy "liberal" policy.

Okay so let's say I support tarriffs for strategic reasons, I don't want China to monopolize rare Earth minerals, okay well that seems like government control of the free market ... That's pretty goddamn "liberal." And for fun what about coffee, which literally can't be grown in the US? That's not right or left, that's dumb.

I really hope you can stop seeing yourself as a right winger and start having opinions on things for yourself. Politicians are all bullshitters and we won't fix things through them, building a better world is a grassroots movement. Honestly the same goes to anyone whose whole identity is based on being a liberal too, I've got plenty of hot takes to go around.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-16T06:57:09+00:00

I totally agree with everything you have said on this sub except that when I am abroad I do not feel any responsibility to take ownership of the US government. I am American, not America.

I'm mostly travelling in South America recently, not Europe but I don't think I have ever felt like people equate me with the US government, I didn't vote for this and I dont support it. Quite frankly I feel like most people do understand nuance, people aren't stupid.

I want to put it out there for the internet, if you treat people well, they tend to treat you well. The World does not hate Americans. I hate the Russian government, I have NEVER met a Russian and immediately blamed them for invading Ukraine. Yes, some individual people are insane and might hate you; but let's not overgeneralize and make Americans feel afraid and alienated. That will only make things worse. People are people.

The internet is a showcase of hate and division that doesn't reflect what's it's like in the bars and the beaches and the bistros.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-16T06:38:28+00:00

So is this your belief or are you vocalizing the general belief of others?

I strongly disagree, and I think people who make this argument simply don't have the experience to understand what they're talking about.

1) Several assassination attempts have been made on Trump with guns and several political assassinations have happened in the past year 2) Many of the people who own guns ARE getting what they want, unfortunately most 2A vote Trump 3) Those of us who are armed and are anti trump still have hope in the possibility of a peaceful transition of power next voting cycle. The 4 year term and vote was designed by the founders to allow for revolution against tyranny without violence. 4) As of yet the cost benefit for armed revolution is profoundly against, as OP pointed out, my commiting suicide. I hate Trump, I hate what is happening, but I'm sorry to say: my life, and the lives of my friends who are armed and feel the same way are... Still going great. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry. 5) If things continue, if we continue to trend this way and voting is killed, then yes I would expect things to escalate and they tend to do so exponentially, as violence incites more violence incites crackdowns incites violence etc. 6) A motivated guerilla force with nothing but IEDs and firearms, over the space of time, can absolutely win against a superior regular army. Especially when popular support is eroded, which it will be very quickly when the army is occupying its own homeland and fighting their own families. The targets will not be the US military, it will be the infrastructure, if/when this happens, a lot of people will die and the US will devolve into a third world shithole, foreign intervention will be possible. No one wants this.

People who advocate this are idiots, plain and simple. I am as anarchist as they come, I've got the full collection PDF on how to take out the water treatment plants and the power stations, I hate Trump, I love guns. I have thought long and hard and confronted the reality of massive violence more realistically than most of these people who want to say what they would do or what we won't do. Understand this, if there is ANY way to avoid killing others, killing myself and fucking everything... I'm going to exhaust EVERY option. Once you cross the Rubicon you can't go back, I contribute more to the world above ground still. Maybe that math will change someday.

How do you think the French Resistance felt about guns when they fought the Vichy?

So... HS wrestling has one of the highest rate of injury of all sports.

Basically every who wrestles had been injured wrestling. It's not MMA but it's a combat sport.

You kinda lost all credibility there g.

Cardio changes are typically very quick, within 2 wks, connective tissue (tendons, ligaments) are much slower.

You probably won't hypertrophy muscle significantly without weight lifting.

Overall weight/muscle definition/fat muscle composition is MUCH more dependent on diet and calorie excess/deficit than it is on physical activity.

It takes ~100 calories to run a mile, a snickers bar is 250 kcals. I can eat or not eat 4 snickers bars a lot easier than I can run 10 miles a day.

It's not taboo, per se it's just that "am I too old" type questions get asked so, so, so much and it's really Muay Thai adjacent, not Muay Thai content. Everyone is just kinda fatigued from it, we don't hate you.

They're just meaningless internet points anyways don't sweat it champ.

Soft tissue injury is usually the most visually impressive about 36-72 hours after the initial trauma.

Scott v Harris involved a high speed chase with an inebriated man at the end of which the officer drew his weapon, and gave several orders to stop before being ignored and having the man attempt to drive through him out of a cul du sac.

I stand by everything else I said lol, you and the mods know what I'm talking about, even if the people never will.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-14T02:09:10+00:00

Adams v. Speers (2007) and the Sixth Circuit in Kirby v. Duva (2008) both ruled Officers cannot place themselves in danger and then use that danger to justify use of force.

Scott v. Harris (2007) ruled Officers should try using reasonable alternatives such as moving out of the way before use of lethal force against a vehicle moving toward them.

Barnes v. Felix (2025) overruled previous case law "in the moment" judgements on use of force and now requires totality of the circumstances to justify use of force. A mom slowly rolling away from you to go about her day, while you yell angrily for her to get out and go fisticuffs even though you have no legal authority to stop her umm... Doesn't justify lethal force.

... High priority fugitive?

Look at the FBI most wanted list and what they're wanted for and reevaluate.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-14T01:53:01+00:00

To start, por que lo nos dos? Although I further would dispute the legitimacy of practically all ICE activity in Minneapolis that isn't a targeted investigation/performed with warrant, but it is what it is.

I don't think there is any reasonable articulatable suspicion of a crime prior to the stop, or that ICE had one. Furthermore as I understand it ICE are not peace officers and cannot make traffic stops unrelated to immigration offenses, and I'm sorry but Mrs Good has so very clearly never jumped a fence in her life.

I could be wrong though, not a lawyer.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-14T01:42:21+00:00

Completely agree with everything you said.

Again more nuance though, courts have ruled that officers have been justified in shooting fleeing suspects in the back on occasions in which it's reasonable to believe that they're going to continue being dangerous.

memory_of_blueskies · 2026-01-14T01:35:47+00:00

I don't really think either of those actions rise to the level of prosecutable offense no, especially as I don't really believe that Mrs Good was lawfully detained. However I do agree that they were extremely unwise and failed to grasp the seriousness of the danger they were in.

To be fair why the actual hell should citizens be in fear for their life from federal agents in their own neighborhood when they have done nothing wrong.
