The moaning about chaz is as amusingly absurd as the thing itself is. Kind of sad it will soon fade into obscurity where it belongs to.
Yup. That has been my point all along. Nobody remembers the 2014 Bundy standoff, let alone the 1970 Alcatraz takeover.
I hope it becomes a permanent fixture in Seattle.
It needs to be seen.
Meh. Nothing I haven't seen under Highway 101 in San Francisco.
I don't get this logic though. People obsess about black-on-black violence as if that's supposed to justify state violence against unarmed civilians. "Officer: Hey, I'd give a crap about your civil rights and all, and not getting your head blown off because you called us cops to narc on someone in your backyard, but ... come on. You guys are killing each other all the time! Deal with it."
State-sponsored violence justifies it from the state. And then if you even when you want to bring up black-on-black violence, what are they supposed to do now? Invite state-sponsored violence to shoot everybody to break it up without repercussions?
Hey, why should Afghanis complain about Obama's drone bombing campaigns that torched innocent civilians? Afghanis are blowing each other up all the time!
As stupid as it may sound, I think so much in this world is squandered through greed.
We should strive to improve things all around the globe, which will in turn improve our own society. It's inexplicable that in a time where we have dozens of ways to communicate live with people from all around the world we still have mass immigration.
Greed and capitalist efficiencies that reward exploitation. Definitely.
But I don't follow your last point. Why wouldn't you expect mass migration to increase? People are more aware of the rest of the world than ever. They can look at the crap in their backyards and peek over fences more than ever. The Internet is global. The workforce is now more global than ever. Opportunity drove continental migration in America, Africa, etc.
Global tourism is as great as ever.
At the other end of the spectrum, we're seeing the rise of participatory citizenship: highly desirable workers where national governments need to compete for their residency and economic output more and more.
It’s not a bad product for being plant based.
Meh. If I want overprocessed chemicals from a lab pretending to be something I might recognize as edible, I'd be scarfing down margarine all day.
