Otherwise war is just murder and soldiers are just murderers. — BitconnectCarlos
So you think Americans will be divided by the use of flag?
— ssu
I don't know. It's possible. You'd have to ask them. But to me any flag is only as important and valuable as it's recognized as being so across different sectors of society as well as within them. If there's a schism on that then, yes, they'll be divided. — Baden
Stop thinking that your country is in a civil war. You'll really notice it if there's a real one. Have you even seen war?As for the whole 'unity' shtick - those who say peace when there is no peace is say nothing at all. — StreetlightX
Oh the irony in liberal leftists being a cause of rather then the solution to systemic racism. — ChatteringMonkey
Yes, I remember that you were our angry Australian.Again, not my country. And if you need to wait for someone to declare 'civil war' then you've already lost. You don't wait for a holocaust before deciding maybe that things are not so good. — StreetlightX
It's hard to see how you would solve this though, I don't see people voluntarily choosing not to try to give their kids a head start in life.... — ChatteringMonkey
And I believe that terrifying someone into submission usually doesn't work, sorry. — ssu

People and their freaking kids. There should be, simply because there is, nothing special about their own child compared to a neighbors or even some kid halfway across the world for that matter. It's the cancerous, parasitic atheist mindset that when you die you cease to exist in any and all forms. So they desperately try to prolong any idea of themselves through reproduction. They push not only all their failed dreams, pursuits, and expectations on them but all their regrets, fears, and mental complexes on them as well. It is abuse in its purest form. Those who seek to be first, shall be last. And even that is only because I don't have a proper say yet. — Outlander
The article states that it is sort of a collective action problem, and I think that is a good way of looking at it... which makes me think that you needs some government intervention probably, or some incentive to change those behaviors. — ChatteringMonkey

Perhaps. If "my" kid was switched at birth.. well, you can see from that as I wouldn't know it's psychological more than anything. Yes?
Physiological, perhaps. Characteristics of both without being exclusively one or the other — Outlander
Who gets scared is the question.Then you don't know history and should probably stop talking. When the ruling class get scared, that's when massive, systemic change happens - everytime. — StreetlightX
:smile:The ruling class is shitting their pants and if you can't see that you're either not looking or an idiot. Every one of them is scrambling to show some kind of solidarity with the protestors - faked or otherwise. Even a fuckbag like Trump was prompted to gesture his way into some barely-there police reforms. And the display of brutal, racist police forces to quell the riots are just a sign of ruling class weakness. — StreetlightX
Don't you hope for all their hopes to come true? — fdrake
