Actually it’s a civil offense akin to a parking ticket which is separate from criminal charges.

It’s difficult to comprehend just how much more wealthy a billionaire is. If you spent $10 every ten minutes, it would take you about 70 days to go through $1 million. To reach a billion would take 190 years.

Not the best sources, a phone smuggled by a South Korean-based organization that is funded by the US National Endowment for Democracy and reported by state owned BBC, both of which are enemies of NK, and nothing in this article is verifiable. I’m not saying this to promote anything about NK but just from a journalistic perspective this article doesn’t prove much.

Has everyone forgotten about the NSA and their absurdly massive data centers? At least a portion of the US population likely has substantial data from their tech in a database we can’t access.

How do you expect him to take a bite out of crime? I think he was just true to his word, police aren’t stopping the real criminals so he just got more serious.

I’ve never actually done coke, would that add a subtle numbing effect on the mouth? It sounds 100x better than snorting it, I could see it being massively popular if not illegal.

There’s a famous quote from Schwarzenegger as CA governor where he said “It’s not a drug, it’s a leaf.”

People are closer to being on the same page than they realize I believe, but true, everyone is afraid of making the first move. I’ve heard this idea said a number of times, “I would fight a revolution but I don’t want to lead it.” People are still clinging to establishment politics and parties, what we need is a group to unite people in opposition to the status quo economic and political system and be unafraid to take direct action against the apparatus of the state. A lot of people would be afraid to take these steps, but it doesn’t require everyone, enough dedicated revolutionaries can help lead the non-political masses.

No person does until the conditions force them. Many people in the US are still comfortable enough and have a lot to lose, but the time might come. At a certain point it becomes the easier choice.

Yeah and they’re all fucking losers, it really feels like the vast majority of people don’t care about whatever these online people say ‘woke’ is. It’s the same as complaining about “political correctness gone mad”, affirmative action, etc, the same complaints they’ve had about social progress for decades. Nothing about these youtubers is new or worth dignifying with a response.

It’s been a rogue state for decades, they call it ‘American Exceptionalism’, and the ‘patriotic Americans’ are happy about it.
