Correct. Most states' laws do not envision the situation we are currently seeing, let alone what's coming.

Check your state. What constitutes harassment, and can you think of harassing things that could be done without violating the law? I can for my state.

Same with pretty much every saying that regressives steal to justify their shit.

"Blood is thicker than water" does not mean family is more important than friends. The full saying is "Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." So it means the exact opposite.

"Spare the rod, spoil the child" is actually from a poem by Samuel Butler in the 1600s. The poem is about spanking your lover. The actual bible quote that the poem is satirizing is, "He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him." Nuanced difference, but doesn't advocate beating the same way the shortened one does.

In what situation would it be appropriate, legal, and approvable to burn down civilian houses in an occupied area?

I can't think of one.

Regressives the world over are not creative. They do what they do because they believe others will do it. They're bullies because they were bullied, and they don't want to be the victim, so they erroneously believe that means they have to strike first.

They never stop to think, "What if the world weren't shit? What can I do to make it better?" They accept as a fact that it is shit, and they believe the only way to come out ahead is to step on someone else.

When you get several of these people/groups pointing at each other, it becomes an infinite cycle.

I think you're right if the goal is to stop them all together.

But what we can do is stop people from sending them around and saying that it's true/actually the person.

Once they've turned it from a art project into a weapon, it should have similar consequences to "revenge porn."

Wonderful in theory, but in practice it's a dumpster fire. Quick, mainstreamm-acceptable takes are incentived, and nuanced, alternative viewpoints are nearly impossible.

If it were all for hobby stuff, it would be fine, but when this is how most people get their news, it's not good.

These folks won't witness it either. Not with that eye anyway.

Not the original person you responded to, but I type 120ish wpm. The trick is to try to tap into the same part of your brain that verbalizes words when you talk, rather than the part that composes stuff when you write.
