Assume for a moment he doesn’t care and does it anyway. I am unable to see what mechanism is in place to stop him

Small caveat: Sociology and psychology do. Your ignorance or dismissal of the movement makes it no less real. Would you perhaps prefer if we referred to it as the American Taliban? Here's an easy 7 minute overview of the concept since you haven't yet been exposed to these ideas are arguing in bad faith here: And here's a longer version with more detail on the movement you pretend doesn't exist, one with a deeper focus on Trumps former National Security Advisor who is one of the leaders of this group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhRNDsLbOvQ

You’re not wrong, but one might argue that he’s motivated by grift and easy money and has found a way to motivate large swaths of morons to act in unison and to his advantage

DHS has ordered that all documentation cease using the term immigrants and replace it with “alien”

Government by trolling

Yes. That was the message in the article you created the thread with.

Look out at Mother Nature. That birds nest where only 2 of the 5 eggs make it, or where the mother and father birds spend 18 hours of everyday doing nothing but flying back and forth finding food. Or look at that clutch of sea turtles where only 13 out of many hundreds get to the ocean before being eaten, and then 10 of those get eaten in the water. Look at that group of squirrels that starve over the winter, or that family of deer trying to survive when it’s minus 30 degrees outside. Humans have it pretty great when you step back and look at things objectively, yet we whine and talk about suffering. It takes a certain baseline level of wellbeing and entitlement to even the have time to consider such things instead of figuring out how you’re gonna survive the night or help your offspring do the same.

Immigrants, transgendered, and anyone else deemed to be unsavory by the mob will be targeted, and rather often it will done by those specifically sworn to protect them. The only way to overcome that is for enough good people to stand up and say, no. Not today. Not on my watch. Burke: “Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents” (1770): "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."

It’s more Deepak Chopra than creationist IMO, but po-tay-toe po-tah-toe… six to one, half dozen to another.

Even if only for the way it signals that now the federal government itself has classified LGBTQ as sub-human. Easy targets. No consequences. Signaling is a lot of what’s happening, like the commutation of even violent January 6 offenders. It shows vigilantism and political violence is encouraged so long as you’re defending “our” side you’ll be supported.

Which version / release? Depends on the employer, and the job.

Social media makes it worse, but this also happens as generations pass. Those who witnessed the horrors of WWII are basically now all dead and not around to slap their grandkids for being idiots

Gullibility? Ignorance? Preference for simple falsehoods over hard truths? I could go on

No excuse required. I’ll comment wherever and however I please (until I’m restrained by group norms and enforcers of them)

He will target them with sanctions if they refuse and extort them into compliance. He will also order US forces to drop the people there as if to “dare” the receiving nations not to accept. Expect local sheriffs and off the books militias / shooting clubs to play a big role even if that’s not how it appears on paper. Maybe more to the point people are being “educated” by forces who don’t always have the best interests of others as a priority. The AfD stuff in DE is more a start to this and not an end, sadly.

Xenophobia often alters targets but rarely underlying causes.

That’s a fault of humans not of science Depends on how one defines free will. Also off-topic

They are not, however and as I trust you already know, immune… especially in light of the way human minds in large swaths are being tuned like forks by those in control of social media and information diet dials.

That’s a feature of science, not a bug

The enshitification of the internet and online watering holes more broadly isn’t restricted to SFN nor caused solely by ridiculous rejects trying to shoehorn religious topics into every discussion

Wow. Usually folks have to pay extra for that type of insight. Have you considered podcasting?

You’re the one who introduced the subject of judgment. Circle. Circle. Circle. Jerkle. Jerkle. Jerkle. Strawman. It’s actually worse if you’re not a troll bc it means you’re a moron.

This reminds me of tides in the ocean. The moon is an enormous input, but the H2O molecules still are far more subject to local forces like electromagnetism. I suppose in this example the other brain regions are the moon and the thalamus is the ocean Yes, in much the same way that our cortex is shielded by our skull and our hearts by our rib cage. The most important bits tend to be best protected as they’re foundational to proper functioning of all the surrounding regions… a bit like a hub is to the spokes on a wheel Thanks for sharing your explorations with us. Your interest is infectious

The “topic” is seeing how long he can keep people engaging, how long before he can make them emotional and lash out, and how long it takes staff to shutoff his account

False. Hearts can be tired decades before death
