That’s pretty close to what most people would call Van Life. There are massive communities around that.

Dress well

FEMA helicopters shooting down disaster relief?

What in the mad max do these people think the state of the world is?

It’s like they want to live in a movie, and they’re adjusting reality in their heads to try to make it happen.

No

Why should criminals lose their right to vote?

A citizen is a citizen.

Canada sets up polling stations inside prisons to facilitate EVERYONE being allowed to vote.

Who said anything about race?

Imagine making this about race, instead of countries.

Sorry, which of those countries do you think have those? The vast majority of Chinese and Russian citizens in what the west would consider absolutely horrible conditions.

You think you’d be better as a Chinese or Russian citizen? Because that’s the damage they’d like to do to you.

Why people don’t think the West is at war right now is beyond me.

We’re being attacked economically.

We’re being attacked socially.

We’re being attacked via proxy countries.

We’re even being attacked physically on our own soil.

Russia, Iran, and with some China thrown in the Mix.

The world is at war right now.

It can be either of those.

It can be in some jurisdictions, yes

Iran doesn’t want a war on their own territory, they’ve been happily sending weapons and money to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis to continue the fighting elsewhere.

Could be worse… at least it’s not in Meters.

It’s estimated they have access to enough material for 3 weapons if they were to try to build them… and they’d be completely untested.

It’s working just fine.

Israel isn’t just dick waving, they’ve done everything from assassinating scientists to blowing up centrifuges with a targeted computer virus.

Please break off, please break off, please break off…

You do have enemies. Many countries would love to hurt you and your way of life. Those countries have shown that they like hurting other countries, they just tend pick on the smaller ones right now. China is attacking Canada economically for example. They’d love to do the same to the US, but currently the cost is too high. If that math ever changes, you will also be attacked.

Does Iran have functional nuclear bombs yet?

The proxy war is working just fine. People just don’t understand the goal.

Citizens need to be educated and informed. That shouldn’t come from politicians.

Just a reminder, $18 billion is around $56 per US citizen.

And a second reminder, that a direct war against Iran (via Israel) or Russia (via Ukraine) would cost probably two orders of magnitude more money than fighting them via proxy like what’s currently happening.

Proxy wars are cheap and do a lot of damage to our enemies.

What a stupid rule that you have to register ahead of time or you can’t vote. Everyone should be allowed to register up until to and including voting day.
