3D gun printing has come a long way in a short amount of time. 3D printed lower receivers can weather several hundred rounds of 7.62 at this point

At this rate, I'm convinced our future AI overlords will put humanity down much more humanely than we are/will

You're preaching to the choir. The oligarchy has indeed thoroughly captured the fourth estate

Protests have been steadily breaking records each time they occur. Protests have been occurring across the country since he took office. This has all been widely publicized

That would require a level of class consciousness that has been violently suppressed for decades. Although maybe there's some hope based on continual record breaking no kings numbers

They weren't nonsense until we had people in positions of power decide that they were.

At the end of the day, pieces of paper are just pieces of paper.

The fatal flaw in our separation of powers is that even if congressional dems had a super majority, congress is powerless to enforce anything.

And the press has been covering Trump's rhetoric and the war pretty heavily.

I hate to break this to you, but before the current regime, the Shah was violently enforcing no burka/niqab dress codes. The Shah that was installed by the West

RIP Magawa

You voluntarily got involved in a political discussion when you lamely attempted to assert that some things aren't political.

The fact that you have decades of experience on this ball of mud and still espouse the things you do is embarrassing.

You insist that the majority of impoverished are in their situation because of poor life choices while probably also believing that the economy and the levers of political power are rigged (which they are).

You know that the working class has the odds stacked against them while punching down at those less fortunate. Your family may very well suffer from their own bad choices.

I would posit that those choices aren't made in a vacuum. You can preach about personal responsibility while also recognizing systemic and economic injustice against the working class. But you probably won't. You'll keep insisting that lifting yourself up by your bootstraps is a physical possibility. In the end you're just repeating things that help the oligarchy and their strangle hold on our country and the world at large.

The dismissal is based on decades of lived experience and seeing the same things over and over again. You aren't attempting to engage in good faith and clearly aren't interested in discussing anything more in-depth so my dismissal seems to be well placed.

It's not projecting when it's based directly on your comment history. I used to spout the same things about two decades ago. Hopefully you wise up at some point.

> a conservative, not a nazi

who regurgitates pro-billionaire talking points and thinks the poor just need to lift themselves up by their bootstraps, with some christian persecution complex sprinkled in

You aren't fooling anyone, except maybe yourself

The UK achieves this by having a diet relatively unchanged from that of Londoners during the Blitz

> I am surprised that the lay American gets so surprised that they do not like the American administration so much.

Don't be. Most americans can't read above a 6th grade level

It should also be mentioned that a significant amount of Iraq's chemical weapons were given to Iraq by the US. Iraq destroyed the munitions they hadn't already used in Iran or against the Kurds. Then UNMOVIC was sent to Iraq to inventory and account for all of the destroyed munitions. The head of the UN team repeatedly reported that the inventory of destroyed munitions and verification of compliance with UN mandates was a matter of months. The invasion of Iraq was announced shortly after.

1/5th are below the voting age, but minors have also been demonstrating pretty heavily, particularly against ICE

We don't have to define it because we've won every day since the war started. Glorious leader said so

Hardware and equipment aside, there's been an ongoing purge of personnel in the DoD (DoW) since the admin took office. The pentagon was recently described as 'like game of thrones' due to military personnel getting axed over disagreements with the admin on Iran.

This has been the case for a while now but the US military is steadily being filled with sycophants and MAGA ideologues

Even if they don't, US war planners now have to factor the possibility of hidden AA defenses in their risk calculus moving forward. So no matter what, a win for Iran to some degree

> while the population just watches it happen...

About 1/5 of America voted for this guy after seeing the trainwreck of his first admin.

At the same time, protests response is continually growing and breaking records as economic disparities and totalitarian responses intensify.

'‘Comrade Nation Builder’: How China views Donald Trump’s indictments in US'

Iran has been preparing for this for decades. I wouldn't be surprised if they held a hidden reserve for air defense and let the USAF 'get comfortable' before redeploying

US doesn't have an expectation of privacy in public spaces. This allows for filming of anyone/anything in a public space. Following a specific individual or vehicle in public doesn't make a difference.

Simply filming in public is not a nuisance and should not be illegal.

The 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th Circuit Courts of Appeals have recognized the First Amendment right to record law enforcement in public.

The inclusion of drones and vehicles doesn't really change that.

The iranian government/IRGC isn't innocent but remember that its the regular people, the working class of Iran that is actually suffering further because of hostilities initiated by US/Israel

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

Trade jobs will be scarce, but there could be some exciting opportunities in the leather clad marauder department

would be pretty sick to have a career to save in the first place
