In religiously paternalistic Texas, killing one’s own children is a God-given biblical right.

You’re dealing, in the case of the Taliban, with a people that were devoutly religious, and living in extreme conditions of hardship, poverty and depravation well before the Soviets rolled into that country. Their lives alone, made them capable of out stubborning western militaries.

Americans by and large aren’t used to such marginal modes of living… we’re not, at all.

Guerilla warfare won’t have any lasting power.

Americans want their comforts, their internets, their cell phones… We are a bourgeois country and that won’t change until we go into another Great Depression… now THAT could set the revolutionary foxes into the social henhouse - but it needs to come from disastrous policies made by the people at the top, so they bear all the blame.

That will get political winds blowing in a different direction.

Noooo guns. Guns gets the military involved. You and I will not win once that bridge is crossed. It will give Trump and the fascists an excuse to declare Martial Law and turn us into a real police state.

While it’s romantic and fun to imagine going all Punisher on the chuds in ICE, that’s not a real end game you want to aim for.

I WAS paying attention in History class. We’re not in the 18th century anymore, so the notion that anything will be changed with violence… is rather… well… Lemme just leave you with the thought that what can come down will crimp almost every aspect of our lives in ways you definitely will not like and it will start with the internet and phone.

(also, do pay mind to who’s got the access to heavy gauge fully automatic firearms, and who does not.)

That’s a delightful ladybug. I have one that’s got a picture of a bandage on it…

Yep… Those executed citizens were within immediate reach. Can’t be close enough for the fuckers to catch you. Always have an escape route ready.

So now it’s time to use actual cameras with stout telephoto lenses and have discrete pockets in your clothes for the micro sims to be hidden in (if it looks like one os going to get caught) and also use those parabolic dish microphones to record everything from a distance and if ICE moves towards the observers, they slip away and find safety. Old school. Cameras in phones mean observers have to get too close. Change up the equipment and how you deal with these shitheads.

LOL!

No. I’d much rather watch, than tell, stories.

It aligns itself with the magnetic field of metal of the stove and starts a transduction of capicitive resonation that interferes with the polaritive vibrations of the planetary magnetic field.

This in turn creates a localized pulse of geomagnetic interference that the fan blades are sensitive to, and their shape works to create a single direction rotation that both pushes air and traps the interference and creates a perpetual motion at the same time.

Brilliant engineering, honestly.
