National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

There are a number of threads where this would fit, but given that the ICE thing is the outrage de jour, I'm putting it here.
Look around. We live in an outrage economy, or what some might call an outrange industrial complex.

Rage Feels Good. That’s Why You’re Addicted to It. • The Havok Journal | Military & Veteran News, Commentary, Culture

Algorithms don’t reward calm or nuance. They reward engagement, and nothing engages like anger. Every scroll is an invitation to be pissed off—at strangers, at institutions, at half the country you’ve never met.

And it works because rage feels powerful. It gives you identity. Tribe. Purpose. You’re not just angry—you’re right. You’re one of the good guys, standing against the idiots, the traitors, the weak.

Sound familiar?

It should. It’s the same psychological structure as war: us versus them, threat everywhere, constant vigilance. For veterans especially, it’s an easy groove to fall back into. The terrain feels familiar.

The problem is that unlike combat, this kind of rage doesn’t end. There’s no mission complete. No objective secured. Just an endless drip-feed of reasons to stay pissed.

And like any addiction, the dose has to increase.

Only when republicans do it.
Sort of like freedom of speech and gun rights.

My freedom of speech and gun rights are cheeky and fun.
The left's freedom of speech and gun rights are cruel and tragic.
Which makes it NOT freedom of speech or gun rights at all.
...it's reckless speech and insurrection and all that jazz


Hooray for my side !!!
BOOO for the other side !!!

Tuesday is the real enemy.
 
From the 50501 group of seditionists, anarchist, lolberts, TDS to the extremes, and insurrectionists.

She *skipped English to teach us how both illiterate and stupid she is, because radicalism is NOT a civic duty.
