It's easy. You just think of something you want to be true to prove your current point, then just say it like a fact. That's really about the depth of it.
Yeah this isn't that bad. When I was in the Marines you catch sleep where ever or when ever you can. I've slept on so many different floors and types of ground. You get used to it honestly.
Control the media, brain wash the sheep, train everyone to think anything they disagree with is fake.
The irony is they think they're all smart free thinkers. A MAGA fella I knew told me he was upset that people think all MAGA folks are dumb. He also said the founding fathers wrote the 2nd amendment into the Declaration of Independence because they knew how important it was.
People would want their lawns mowed but who would mow it? I mean if my family was suddenly millionaires why would I kill myself in the heat for a few bucks a mow. There might be a big landscaping company that makes millions, but the people pushing the mower don't see that. I think you'd see a mass exit of low level workers which would cripple the economy.
You're right, it's a cult by every measure. I just think there are levels. There's the "I will praise Trump as he strangles me to death" type people. But there are also the "I vote R because I like guns" or "I'm against abortion." A lot of people do end up voting on a single issue or a select few. I think being shot at might make those people reconsider.
I dunno about that. I served in the USMC and everyone was pretty left leaning in the sense of "why the fuck do I care about the color of the person covering me, we're all Marines."
Many people serving are also minorities from low income, using the military as a step to building a life. Those people didn't seem Republican to me.
No, but I'm also not berating people for not doing more.
You seem fine judging people saying they're not doing enough. I mean, you wouldn't do that unless you were walking the walk right?
Or are you just a keyboard warrior lol. Yelling at people to do stuff you're not ready or willing to do. You want everyone to fix your problems for ya huh?
But you didn't answer my question because you know all that.
It was sarcasm… you’re comparing regular traffic rules during regular traffic to a large protest, and expecting that everyone will be following the same rules. It’s just not reality.
You're really close to what I'm saying. Cars don't do this. That was what I said. Many people, yourself included said cars do this. They don't. You can say it was sarcasm now but this didn't' seem sarcastic as it was your response to saying cars don't drive through red lights like the bikes are.
Cyclists and pedestrians are unfairly expected to act like multi-ton vehicles. They are not, and should not, have the same rules.
They don't have the same rules. There are tons of rules that apply only to vehicles and plenty of laws that apply only to bikes or people. I don't know here you're getting this concept from unless this is more sarcasm.
Pedestrians shouldn’t be forced to cross roads only at crosswalks. “Jaywalking” is some BS nonsense made up to make pedestrians look like the bad guys.
So cop cars, ambulances, rural areas without public transportation, they should just let people do whatever, no rules? Walk right into the road as cars do by?
People don’t need the same rules as heavy machinery travelling at 10-20x their speed.
They don't.... Cars don't use cross walks to cross the road. Where are you getting this concept from? Do you use a turning single when walking? How often do you get your bike inspected for road worthiness to make sure a wheel doesn't come off and cause an accident? Cars can't drive on the sidewalk, I see bikes doing this... This is so baseless and wild. You're just literally making things up.
There are studies showing that when cyclists “break the rules”, it’s often for safety. Motorists do not, and cannot, make the same excuse.
I'd like to see these studies. A car can break the law by swerving into an empty oncoming lane to avoid hitting a person that jumping into the road. That is a VERY valid excuse to break the rules. Why are you ignoring basic reality?
Discrimination. Cyclists and pedestrians should not be forced to go somewhere else, because of cars.
So bikes should be allowed on the freeways and criss-cross up and down the highway? People should be able to just walk down the middle of the highway? Do you live in reality man?
On the flip side, if a motorist sees thousands of cyclists taking up the street, they should detour someplace else. It’s only fair. /s
The road was made to be used by both, not just one. But we should share? So you think cars should be able to drive on bike paths too right? Otherwise it would be "discrimination."
Roads are built for cars to use first, especially some highways. Sorry if that upsets you but it's reality. This idea that bikes should be allowed to just crowd a freeway or drive wherever they want without any rules and impede people, businesses, and emergency services is delusional.
Then I asked:
So the only way to show people that bikers exist is by massively disrupting traffic and causing safety issues?"
And you said:
Yes.
You're either a troll or you don't live in reality. I'm done trying to talk to someone who has no problem being so extremely dishonest and delusional. If you really, truly think that the only way to show someone that biker safety issues exist is by causing massive disruption to people, businesses, and emergency services while putting lives at risk there's no convo to be had.
I didn't even bother reading the rest of your comment. You don't live in reality. You think people and cars have the same laws to follow? You think there is never a valid reason for a car to break traffic law, even to save a life? You think the only way to let people know there are bike safety issues is by putting lives in danger and disrupting emergency services?
No, you are wrong and you a delisional. Or a troll. So hard to tell these days.
Given the general reaction to Lugi I'd be more inclined to think they just paint themselves as the villain. People, not everyone but some, are realizing what's going on. They tell their friends and so on.
People that I know who never cared about politics are taking strong stances. I know it looks grim but I feel like the people are waking up and this is the reaction to that, but in this day and age you can't stop a large shift that easy.
Hey Trump, this has been a real long 24 hours...
