How about we start with not letting teens do that? Most teens barely know how to take care of themselves and now we want them to work as an officer in a prison? Let's set a minimum age there, 24 or something?
I am a manly guy and no, none of this is normal, none of this is "manly", and what you went through is just insane and I wish I could give you a hug, man....
Get out
Leave
Now
The more time you stay there, the more risk you're running. You can't save them, you can't save their future victims, but you can save yourself. Save yourself.
You can't choose your family, but you can find good friends who will care for you. Build a new life with them and slowly forget the hell you were brought up in.
He doesn't exist, its a fable that most children grow out of. Further more, he doesn't even exist in the Bible, and most of him was made up after the fictional Bible was written
Why is this human shit stain still allowed in Europe? This guy would love to see the destruction of Europe, so yay, let him come to Europe to talk about his weird ass insanity ideas?
The Confederacy were a bunch of racist assholes that wanted to be able to subjugate people for their race. They lost.
So why would anyone want to even be associated with a loser racist club, let alone be so fixated on it that you tattoo your back full with it...
Once this is over, can the US please make that first amendment a little bit more sensible? Yeah, it's fine to talk about Hitler, it's not fine to start neo nazi groups, or saying that Hitler was right (except about killing Hitler, he was totally right). Similarly, I believe that the confederate flag should be prohibited except for education like schools and museums.
Yes, I want freedom of expression, but I think we've arrived at a point in time where we can safely say that allowing people to say anything positive about fascism never ends well.
Similarly, I want a law that needs organizations should always be factual. I know, I know, facts are hard and bias, up to a certain level, will always be there but there is a HUGE difference between any US news organization from the 70s and Fox News. Fox News is a propaganda platform, period. It should be prohibited, fuck all first amendment arguments about this. You can't allow somebody to constantly lie to millions of people, it will end badly. News organizations should also be 100% independent. Put an independent news foundation funded by the government that can play journalists to make real news and inform people, for example.
Yeah, law enforcement has it's problems, especially in the US where pretty much every police officer is corrupt, but the US is rather an exception in the western world.
There ARE actual criminals out there that, of left unchecked, basically will grow to trump type mobsters who abuse the shit out of everyone and everything around them
Every material we can ingest (or apply on skin, etc) will have effects
Since there are a many more ways for things to go wrong, and very few ways for something to go right, the chance that you get a "negative" side effect is higher than that it's a positive effect
So that'll be shutdown in a cold minute, could that perhaps maybe drive more traffic to Lemmy?
