if you're too much of a feckless hand-wringer to do anything to defend your community from predators.

Unlike you, I do things that work instead of just putting myself in jail. I was lucky to grow up in a household with education and without violence, so that's why I'm more likely to make correct decisions.

the will of the people is ignored

News to me.

your advice

is to call for his resignation, raising embarrassment until he does. I'm active in local politics, so I know what works. It's the people who aren't active in politics who think action movies have all the answers. Rand Paul is still in office. Tony Gonzales will not be.

Whatever you say, Batman. Are you the one who's going to deliver the punch?

Plenty of other countries have more vigilante justice and still have corrupt leaders, so clearly that doesn't work either. Maybe instead work to make your government better. In a democracy, it represents the will of the people.

In the video, ChatGPT was actually being used as a stopwatch instead of a countdown timer.

This will actually be solved in a week. All it takes is to add the current time to each input.

They aren't being economically prevented from getting an education. As I said earlier, most have access to free education within the prison system, and 42% complete an additional level of education while incarcerated https://www.newamerica.org/insights/equipping-individuals-life-beyond-bars/results. I don't think you understand the huge difference between that and having laws against teaching you to read.

You say that in safety while others suffer the consequences of your actions.

Yes, you made several incorrect claims about education. Not only are they not denied higher education like you originally claimed, but they are also given free lower education. Slaves were legally barred from being educated. I don't understand why this stark difference is so difficult to understand.

What does the age of my account have to do with anything? I would not be at all surprised if you made as many incorrect claims when your account was one day old as you make today, but I also would not be surprised if you made fewer incorrect claims then either.

You nor I said they were prevented from being taught to read

It was illegal to teach slaves to read. It is not illegal to teach prisoners to read. On the contrary, most prisons have adult basic education or high school equivalency programs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-literacy_laws_in_the_United_States?wprov=sfla1

By saying that chattel slavery is the only real slavery, you are absolutely minimizing the horrors of today

I never said that. I said that imprisonment is nowhere near chattel slavery, and saying that it is whitewashes how bad chattel slavery was.

You did it again! The gap between imprisonment and chattel slavery is much larger than the gap between imprisonment and wage slavery. It's not even close, but you're saying the opposite.

There is no way that Elizabeth Holmes would submit to chattel slavery, but she calls imprisonment "hell," and she is far off the mark. https://people.com/elizabeth-holmes-breaks-her-silence-in-first-interview-from-prison-it-s-been-hell-and-torture-exclusive-8789737

Whoosh. Reread the thread, champ.

Easy. Vote blue no matter who. Then primary the party further left. That's the only workable solution. If anyone tells you otherwise, ask them on which planet their solution works. You think NYC could have gone straight from Giuliani to Mamdani? Fuhgeddaboudit.
