    Quick, somebody tell these politicians about a highly addicting and dangerous chemical known as Dihydrogen monoxide with a kill rate of 100%. Ban DHMO! Save America!

      I would suggest stop voting completely. Use non aggression principles, have a lot of guns for self defense. Stop paying involuntarily extortions/taxes to the criminal organization. The largest criminals organization (the government) won’t stop spending and getting further in debt. And taxes will increase further until UBI arrives. 😂

          You think they give you a choice to pick the ruler who will really represent you? Quite delusional. How about full anarchy (life without rulers) and full self responsibility?

            No i agree with that first sentence don’t get me wrong, but like the choice was Trump or not Trump… And a lot of people did nothing and let it happen

            Also, are you saying not voting is how you get a life without rulers?

              It is all about the mindset. Apply Non Aggression Principles and apply aggression only when you have to. I feel safer being surrounded with people who might have concealed guns on them all the time. In such society you think twice before doing something stupid and you start being more responsible for your actions.

              Taxation is definitely a theft. You’re taxed from your salary, then you’re taxed purchasing goods or services, then you’re taxed for ownership of the property and then federal government (regardless which party) organize the wars and send billions (doing money laundering) to genocide people in Ukraine and occupied Palestine. The debt is growing together with percentage of taxes. Mango Mussolini (Trump) created another additional tax for you and me called tariffs. Everyone forgot already about the recent scamdemic COVID19. They all were doing it and a couple of presidents who didn’t want to participate were eliminated (Tanzania, Haiti). The country borders are imaginary lines where you need to ask for permission and a stamp in the passport then go through Nazi checkpoints (TSA) to be humiliated. Also they now started taking biometrics (that I declined so far). I’m sure it is not being done for your safety. They silently create a massive surveillance state around you…

              “No victim - No crime” is my slogan. I said it once to a cop when he performed an act of aggression pulling me over for safely passing a couple of vehicles. He tries to say something about the law, I told him that I can write another law with my chicken scratch on the toilet paper. He understood me and agreed. Took my registration and driver’s license, checked, returned and let me go even without a verbal warning.

          If you alone do it then yes, you get in trouble, but if only 10% of population will do it then things might change really quickly. Watch Larkin Rose on youtube.

        Conservatism is just reactionary post modernism, nothing is real but their personal visceral reaction to some event, and historical events themselves are given innate mystical properties such as things “existing in a vacuum”, and the lovely “its just natural” analysis. Democrats are just really good slow walking reformists owned by capital interest.

    If it wasn’t so sad it’d be hilarious that all these states are banning imaginary ways to control the weather while at the same time gutting the EPA and air population controls, so real ways to influence the weather.

    Anyway, the reason they want to push bullshit laws is that bullshit laws can be used to punished whomever they like precisely because they are not founded in reality.

    Without even looking, lemme guess on which states.

    Are they the shit holes with low education rates and high rates of rampant stupidity who suckle the teat of all the blue states paying for them but then complain about it?

      One of the states is Florida, which is ranked #1 in the U.S. for higher education.

      Louisiana and Tennessee I expect it from… But Desantis has done a number on Florida.

        Who is ranking Florida #1 for higher education? Even before DeSantis, I only heard of Florida schools being part schools.

          A lot of it is tied to “nice” weather and lower tuition costs. But the University of Central Florida is one of, if not the largest University in the U.S. and focused on engineering and computer science. Embry Riddle is the largest Aerospace/Aeronautical school in the world I believe. Florida State University and the University of Florida are likely where the party school stigma stems from, but there are 77 accredited Universities in Florida.

          The tuition I’m sure effects it a lot:

            Yeah, I guess that’s an issue with trying to aggregate college quality at the state level. Both your list and US News & World Report have Utah and Georgia surprisingly high on their lists.

            If you actually just look at top schools you’ll see New York, California, North Carolina, Pennsylvania are listed a lot.

            Not bashing Florida, just not where people typically think of elite colleges/universities. That being said education is such a personal thing that the best school for someone is not necessarily the best “ranked” school.

              No, bash away lol. When a states governor commandeers money from the populous and doesn’t let the legislature know and spends chunks of it on advertising to manipulate public opinion and get them to vote one way or another they should be hated on.

              Also that “nice” weather is usually a giant steam room at 5:20pm every summer day because there was a giant storm that flew through and rained from 5:10-5:15pm while the sun somehow never even went behind the clouds so it’s hotter then hell and you’re wet and sticky. It’s likely half the reason you can still legally ride motorcycles there without a helmet because it’s absolutely miserable to have moist cushions forcing your sweat and dirt back into your pores. It’s like putting slimy bologna on your cheeks holding it there and trying to call it a joy ride. So you skip the helmet, get caught in a giant downpour flying down the highway with rain stabbing you in the face like needles for fun.

              At least they’ve got their swamp puppies to keep them company because their dog already got eaten by the swamp puppy when you tried to take them fishing.

      IDK which states either. But I’d venture a guess, that sorting states by percentage of MAGA voters, would have the 8 states in the top 10.

      You vastly overestimate the US education system as a whole.

      “Condensation can only form on glass”, while not in a conversation about contrails this is a response I got from an adult human who graduated high school. He was standing 3 feet away from a steel pipe covered in condensation and dripping onto the floor.
