Political rants

no doubt, people who speak up about it their careers, family and livelihood are put in jeopardy if they remotely say something positive (depends where you live tbh)

I dont have any fear of being fired, but i do have a fear of my career being basically ruined. I dont really claim i support trump at work because my coworkers are lefties. But i do drop knowledge on everything biden and the dems are doing wrong. I really think alot of people dislike biden, even some of the biden voters. He really hasnt done anything good. I mean he signed juneteenth as a holiday but juneteenth wasnt actually the end of slavery. Just the end of slavery in texas.

Everytime i watch tim pool's podcast i get sad. Because while i dont directly see anything happening in my immediate life, i know somewhere America is changing. We are currently in the middle of America destroying itself. States banning 4th of july, American athletes disrespecting the flag and anthem. There isnt anything you can actually do to stop it either smh.

First, states are not banning fourth of July. Think a little before you regurgitate spoon-fed conclusions from your favorite youtuber. Entire states did not ban the fourth of July. Some cities across different states did ban fourth of July fireworks. Key word is fireworks, not the entirety of the fourth of July celebration itself. A city is not the same as an entire state. Entire states banning fourth of July was fake news on your part. If Tim Pool also said it. Then it was fake news on Tim Pool's side as well. Second, some cities not entire states banned fireworks because of historic droughts. A drought means that wildfires are much easier to start. For example, during last year’s drought. In Lake Tahoe California, fireworks from a baby shower caused a wildfire that ultimately ended up killing a firefighter. Fireworks caused a wildfire. Dry conditions can easily start fires. People can die in wildfires. That is why some cities, not the entire state banned fireworks. To contain the high probability of wildfires. There are certain regions where wildfires are abundant. Fireworks could easily start fires. Hence why some cities in fire prone areas banned fireworks. Third, banning fireworks is not the same as banning the fourth of July. Fourth of July isn’t just about pretty fireworks. If you feel so patriotic. What else can you do for fourth of July? You can also go to parades, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, family reunions, barbecues speeches, etc. Even ceremonies to honor the fallen on fourth of July. Did an entire state ban all the activities that I just mentioned because they hate the fourth of July? Because if they did. Then you might have an argument about states banning fourth of July. If you think that fourth of July is just all about pretty fireworks. Then I suggest you pick up a history book and start reading. Otherwise miss me with that spoon fled nonsense. Fourth, is about what you said that “American athletes disrespecting the flag and anthem. There isnt anything you can actually do to stop it either smh.” No, there isn’t anything you can do to stop it. Mr., I believe in free speech Pandus. The 1st amendment grants you the right to disrespect anything you want. Without the threat of the government reprisal. No one is under any legal obligation to respect any government. If you think athletes or anyone else for that matter should be forced to not disrespect. Then you and the government would be enforcing your own speech onto other people. The government cannot enforce free speech. If you like government enforcing authoritarian policies against free speech. Then I suggest you go live under communist China. But in America. We don’t like people stopping other on what they can and cannot not disrespect. You can’t stop free speech in America.

@animekid The truth is far horrific than that. People will give it up and willingly, so long as they are promised goodies. Regardless of whether they get them or not, all you have to do is tell them that they are going to get something and they will give you everything they have.

I joined this political shitposting group on Facebook. It's so much fun. Every group makes fun of every other group then people within the same group make fun each other. Portions of groups join together to make fun of the group portion they don't like. It's pure chaos. https://i.ibb.co/ZYbfwFc/FB-IMG-1625466821861.jpg

You are arguing semantics here aleph. Ok the entire state didnt ban it, but a city within a state bans it. Or multiple cities ban it within that state like are we really gonna argue the key word as state. The fact of the matter is it was banned. They banned the celebration as a whole not just fireworks. National geographic did say fireworks are racist and blah blah blah. Imo isnt fireworks bursting in the air similar to "the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was stil there" at least thats why i think we do that on independence day. It would make sense right? But to ban the entire celebration while having celebrations for other holidays such as juneteenth. Which again isnt the end of slavery because other states still had slavery after this time. And not all the cities that banned fireworks have anything to do with California wildfires. For example in north Carolina prior to even this year fireworks that shoot into the sky have been banned and yes i know this already since i lived here 3 years now. Fireworks havent been banned just the ones in the air. Again not every state that banned fireworks are the same as banning the entire celebration. There is a difference between free speech and disrespecting your country. Yes you are allowed the freedom of expression to do whatever you want. I will not argue that youbhave that right. But to hate the very principles that allow you that freedom is literally braindead and to argue that you can do whatever you want while representing your country on a grand stage such as the Olympics makes everyone look bad. Just because you can talk doesnt mean you should sort of thing. Freedom of speech doesnt mean free of consequence. You would know that with the whole arguing that corporations arent government so they dont have to abide by the amendment, that me saying they should be banned from doing so is my right as well because im not the government, and people who hold those accountable for doing that is ok too because we arent the government.

Honestly the best way to handle these matter of fact people are to take what they say and throw it back at them XD this man said they only banned fireworks https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://amp.charlotteobserver.com/news/state/north-carolina/article242890731.html&ved=2ahUKEwj0nKmNvM7xAhUjlmoFHSWcCFgQFjAMegQIKBAC&usg=AOvVaw3oaQwEqwuyWpBknE9_YUOs&ampcf=1
