  • it reached an absurd level in austin texas well before trump became a thing; they show up to gay bars to entrap men into breaking the law with the intention of citing enough legal violations to justify shutting down the bar permanently. it’s so bad that the bars have responded by hiring off duty police because they have a chance of recognizing officers in plainclothes.

    you’re conflating slavery with the slave trade and nations with people.

    both are reprehensible, but the barbarity of the slave trade that americans engaged in is on an entirely genocidal & morally bankrupt level than the slavery practiced by some native americans and its practice was relagated individual members of native americans; not entire nations.

    there’s been 4 people (out of 64) that made it past 70; 3 have lived until 100 or so and they were all skinny, short men.

    it’s galling to me that my father and brother inherited these genes and it’s worse that they’re both conservatives; by brother is fully blown trump supporter and i know that he’s going to attribute his longevity to living a “clean and god fearing” life unlike his wicked, commie, queer brother.

    are you me? lol

    my father’s side has autism, depression, anxiety, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and obesity.

    my mother’s side has autism, adhd, anxiety, alcoholism/addictions and cancers galore.

    i got every single one of those and been getting treatment for all of it decades now, plus the added “benefit” of knowing that i’ll be dead sometime in my late 60’s to early 70’s because of it; i’m middle aged now.

    no one’s arguing that one isn’t worse; but there are plenty of people who keep regurgitating this deflecting talking point and that makes it clear thorough the indoctrination has become.
