Atlanta is planning on building a $90M "Cop City" that will serve as a training ground to surveil and target Black communities, activists say. https://www.facebook.com/ajplusenglish/videos/4553054988130912

@Queasy of course, that was a bit of dark side humor. I really want to see that arrogant bastard squirm during interrogation. I also want to see him celled up with a big inmate named Bubba.
@San_Ban you keep trying to start an argument based on words you are misinterpreting. Sorry, but I'm going to have to block you.
@San_Ban sorry to say this, but I suspect that your ability for clear, precise reasoning is lacking... either that, or English is not your first language. Seriously, every single thing you are saying shows that you're misinterpreting all of my words. You simply don't understand.
@San_Ban you are in no way understanding anything I have said. I'm not sure why you cannot understand the concept that nothing I said implies those billions of people were not true Buddhists. I only referred to people whose authoritarian versions of religion make them prone to preferring authoritarian versions of government. I never once referred to good people of any religion, who are abused by a government.
@San_Ban what you perhaps don't understand is that whatever is true in what you said, in no way negates the truth of what I said. Two things can actually be true at the same time... 😏
@San_Ban besides, although Buddhists don't use the word "God".... it's still the same ground or substratum of existence, just conceived in non-anthropomorphic fashion.
@San_Ban I'm well aware of what you're talking about, as well as the "Imperial Buddhism" of the Japanese during World War II. But in doing atrocities, none of them were actually following the teachings of Buddha, were they? Just as the Christofascists in World War II era Nazi Germany weren't really following the teachings of Christ. Bastardized, corrupted versions of any religion cannot be considered representative of the real thing. My statement stands.
Many felt pressured to use the term "global climate change" because right wing morons were so hateful whenever we said "global warming". But when it gets to the point those same right-wing morons and their children are all burning to death, they'll start demanding action to protect themselves from global warming. Yes, they'll use those words. But the stubborn bastards will still only want to protect themselves, and they'll claim they came up with the idea.
@Queasy how about a wood chipper?
During World War II, Christians in Germany mixed fascist doctrines with the teachings of Jesus. This historical phenomenon is called Christofascism, and American Christians are doing the same thing today. Here's an essay I wrote on the subject. https://resistingfascism.quora.com/Christofascists-Fake-Christians-fake-patriots

From Nick Knudsen:
"If this doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will. Christofascist indoctrination ceremony."
So, do you like how you feel today, knowing you are in the vast majority of people, but had a ruling go against you? It's wrong, unjust, infuriating, and makes you feel helpless.
Welcome to Authoritarianism. This is what it feels like. Vote Blue in every election you can, and hopefully we can reverse what has already happened here. Trust me, I know from experience, you do NOT want to live like this for the rest of your life.
In a leaked audio, Steve Bannon has just been caught saying, "Trump is going to declare he's the winner. It doesn't mean he IS a winner. He'll just say he is."
Interesting timing for this unplanned admission of guilt, just before he's about to testify before the 1/6 committee.
I hope they crucify that neo Nazi rat bastard.
