Realistically, our local and federal law enforcement has always been like this. See: Blair Mountain, Black Wall Street, the Jim Crow South, the post-Jim Crow South, any of the L.A. Riots, Ruby Ridge, the entire history of the Texas Rangers, COINTELPRO, Black Lives Matter, or the life and times of J Edgar Hoover, just off the top of my head.

The only difference right now is that we’ve let it get so out of control that now the average white American are getting caught in the collateral of what is otherwise standard operations. So now it gets treated as unique. But it’s the same shit as always, just bigger.

Individually, they’re dumb, out of shape, and, if you’ve been paying much attention, pretty cowardly. So yes, a single cop is fucking joke. But as a group they’re better-armed than many militaries, are legally protected from the VAST majority of their own crimes, and have an insane culture of solidarity not only internally, but with the moneyed class.

You fuck with that loser once and you’re inviting a team of violent idiots and a judge to legally fuck with you the rest of your life. You actively defend yourself from that team of violent idiots and a judge in turn, and I am not exaggerating when I say you’re inviting a militarized response. There’s a reason that so many of our cops can get away with being so mean, dumb, and weak.

Yeah so the issue is that our police have been militarizing and their unions have been persistently dismantling accountability laws since the 80’s, using racist propaganda as cover for their actions. Now that it’s fully mask-off, it’s less, “what’s the community going to think about this” and more “what can the community even do about it?”

The white population of this country has not only allowed, but quietly encouraged, the stripping away of every safeguard we have against our police because they never thought it would be used against them. They were told that racial minorities were going to pillage and rape their uncanny white picket suburbs and remote podunk towns any day now, and that the only law enforcement could save them. But only if it was unchained from any sort of safeguards previously installed on it and given the proper tools of pillage.

So, like, we’re fucked I think. We have a VERY long and painful road ahead of us if we’re going to dismantle all these violent gangs we’ve embedded in our government.

In through the nose, out through the mouth. Your nose is the first step in ‘processing’ air for the lungs. It warms, moistens, and filters the cold, dry, and dirty air for you. You exhale with your mouth because it’s bigger than your nose, which minimizes resistance.

Learn to steady your breaths. Practice, and I mean practice, breathing on counts. That’s inhale for X seconds, hold the same amount, then exhale on the same count. Start at 4 seconds, work your way up. You’re focusing on an even breath, so don’t accelerate or decelerate and if your lungs filled up before you hit your count then try again, but slower.

Learn to breathe from the diaphragm, as you mentioned. Expanding your diaphragm gives your lungs more room to expand, thus increasing your lung capacity. Plus it’s always good to be engaging your core muscles in every little way you can.

Practice a cleansing breath. An incredible tool against anxiety and panic, you’re essentially storing a bank of calm for a rainy day. When you’re feeling fine, breathe on counts, but instead of pushing yourself you close your eyes and focus on how you feel while you’re breathing. Do that, daily. Build the association. Then, when you need to settle tf down, you can take that same breath and connect to that same feeling.

You keep saying I referred to their gains as ‘fake’. You even put it in scare quotes I haven’t said that. I am assuming it is because you have to flatten and pervert the things I’ve actually said in order to respond to them

Holy shit hahaha did you really just link me an article that agrees with me? Bro mortgaged 70% of what was left of the German economy to hit Vegas and bet it all on lebensraum, only to discover that invading farmland destroys the farmland. He couldn’t even keep his shit running with slave labor, lmao.

Never learn how to read, bud. This was precious.

Except he didn’t. His plan to ‘rebuild the economy’ was military conquest. He stole enough from ‘undesirable’ German citizens to get the government liquid again, reneged on all the war debts that were keeping the German economy depressed (I’ll give him that much), then kiboshed all the social and economic programs he’d platformed on to go all-in on one titanic military push.

They simply did not build the infrastructure for a sustained war. And they certainly didn’t build the infrastructure for a functional economy.

Because the aforementioned billionaires, and previously multi-millionaires, have been spending untold billions over a period of nearly a century to keep them trapped in a propaganda bubble.

Hey not to ruin your fun but did you know Hitler embroiled Germany in an unwinnable war and ordered a few million people be executed, as well?

I’m sure you’ll see the light by then.

And that’s the question they bottlenecks the whole discussion. Have fun in “Europe” and we can come back to this topic when you can actually describe a European country.

Your lack of knowledge about your home country

If you’re not gonna take him seriously, why should I take you seriously? Your response was literally “nah bs” without any supporting evidence. We have entered clown land. Do better or I will tell you that you smell bad, too.

The funny thing is that between the fact that you’re not particularly attached to your supposed home country like every other European I’ve met and the issue of you not wanting to produce any specifics about any given European country, I’m pretty sure you’re not actually from Europe. Which means it’s reasonable to assume you’re making shit up to fit a narrative.

Which means I can safely assume you’re wrong by default until you can produce some sort of evidence other than “trust me bro I was there”.

Fabulous country

Which country

Bro is losing the ability to form coherent sentences. I think whatever he took finally hit.

Realistically, yeah.

Putin has always been a dictator, but he hasn’t always been a fascist. He started his career as a moderate technocrat that happened to have incredible access to KGB resources. Very handy if you’re in the market to be forever president. As time went on he’s been mixing and remixing his stances and aims.

As far as NK, I’m not sure they’ve ever been fascist. They’re just a vanilla authoritarian police state.

A major component you can use to point out fascism specifically out of the rogues gallery of evil ideologies is the notion that a fascist government specifically derives its power from endlessly designating and promising to destroy out-groups. If it lasts long enough to run out of targets, it goes on to consume itself.

By dictionary definition, that’s all neoliberal. Most Democrats AND Republicans from the past 50-70 years are neoliberal, and even Trumpism is steeped in neoliberalism.

At it’s core, it is a trust that the “invisible hand” of the free market will keep the ship of society afloat. As though the body commence is some kind of organically-organized supercomputer that seeks to optimize for global prosperity. It looks to unchain the capitalist machine in the same way AI bros seek to unchain their gpt waifu so we can all singularity.

To this end, when looking for a neoliberal, you’re looking for someone who wants to privatize public services then deregulate and cut taxes for businesses. So despite it having “liberal” in the name, it is a thought movement led by conservatives. Like, Ronald Reagan is one of its staunchest champions.
