You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

everyone with a platform of any kind who uses it to try and move the needle a little bit is doing more than the Senate

RT if you don't even know how the hell to open a ChatGPT tab

the 3D printers making whistles now are the modern equivalent of the ladies from WWII sewing flags and uniforms for the war effort

So not my first finished read. I've started and finished 3 other books this year instead of The Dead Student but I made it to part 2 -- which is no reflection on the book, other than its a hard cover and I don't port those around with me

They're not just doing tyranny, they're doing the *exact* things listed in the Declaration of Independence that the colonists accused the king of. It's surreal

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them. I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.
