ljsprague··on DHS keeps trying and failing to unmask anonymous ICE critics online
I believe it was a chaotic situation and the officers most likely fired because of multiple factors including: The guy had a gun. The gun apparently went off. He also seems to have been reaching for his holster.

You calling it an "execution" is dishonest.

Arresting criminal aliens is a constitutional, law enforcement operation.
ljsprague··on DHS keeps trying and failing to unmask anonymous ICE critics online
He was there to create chaos in order to interfere with law enforcement. I don't think anyone denies this. And it was very bad that he had a gun when the inevitable confrontation occurred. This is likely why it's illegal to carry a firearm when interfering with or obstructing law enforcement operations.

ljsprague··on Douglas Adams on the English–American cultural divide over "heroes"
>"dissolve the people and elect another" via immigration

This is happening almost everywhere in the West, just at different rates.

ljsprague··on Scott Adams has died
I agree that that might have been what was going through the minds of the some of the people being polled but still: Scott Adams is allowed to extrapolate from the result of the poll. That doesn't make him "off the rails."
ljsprague··on Talking to LLMs has improved my thinking
>The more I do this, the better I get at noticing what I actually think.

Which reminds me of a quote from E.M Forster: "How do I know what I think until I see what I say?"

ljsprague··on 25 Years of Wikipedia
I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask "who had what idea".
ljsprague··on Scott Adams has died
It's hyperbole and in response to black people who don't think it's OK to be white.
ljsprague··on The Post-American Internet
And each immigrant wave served to displace and/or replace (a difference without distinction) the prior population.
ljsprague··on The Post-American Internet
>offset that trend with controlled yearly immigration

That's just another way of saying "replace themselves."

ljsprague··on The Post-American Internet
You hope to discredit the argument that European peoples are being replaced by categorizing it as a crazy conspiracy theory about Jews or whatever. I'm merely making a conclusion based on current immigration trends.
ljsprague··on The Post-American Internet
They are clearly being replaced.
ljsprague··on The Post-American Internet
I didn't say "Great Replacement."
ljsprague··on The Post-American Internet
I am flabbergasted that you can say Germany is 72% German and not see that you're being replaced. Are you not able to extrapolate a trend?

>Being an open and multicultural country

This is begging the question.

>Nationalism is the last thing my country needs.

Whatever genes made you say that are maladaptive.

The question is whether we're a nation or an economic zone.
ljsprague··on The Post-American Internet
>There is a saying about how US citizens trust companies but not their government, and how Europeans trust their governments but not their companies.

Almost always easier to pick a new company than a new government.

ljsprague··on New maps reveal post-flood migration patterns across the US
>The maps also show which people relocated by accepting a federal buyout and which ones relocated on their own. Nationwide, we see the vast majority of movers, about 14 out of every 15, are not participants in the federal buyout program. They are neighbors who relocated through conventional real estate transactions.

Doesn't that mean someone else moved in?
