Like no sense of what they are protecting. No cool speeches about justly protecting freedom and the world we’ve made. Just like imposing aggressive music and weapons. Like why should I care, you could do better. This is shit military propaganda.

Look, I want to mock this, because ... Jesus, it's IN. SANE. But also? this level of paranoia from those least likely to be harmed is one reason our criminal legal policy is such a mess. I mean, this is ... EXTREMELY nuts, but it's just the far end of a bad continuum.

Our dysfunctional housing policy is a microcosm of democratic socialismβ€”giving the community veto power over how you get to use your property is generally a bad idea

These population panic stories always ignore one key issue: how patriarchy is incompatible with modernity. Why do educated, employed women in Japan, Italy, etc. refuse to have babies in societies where men do not equally share the labor-intensive care of children and homes? HmmπŸ€”
