Wealth, high social status... has nothing to do with competence.

It mostly has to do with how much money you start with, who you know, and dumb luck.

You are your memories and your choices.

... What would it matter if you do not remember being the previous you?

For all intents and purposes... those are two different people.

Just as you at 10 is a somewhat to significantly different person than you at 30, 50, 80, etc.

Can you explain to me why you think this way?

Did you even watch the video, or are just quoting my summary of what he says in the video?

... Do you have an extensive catalogue of experience with dofferent exit and entry wounds of different calibers?

Because you absolutely can find general wound size imagery, as he shows, in many guides to, and studies on terminal ballistics and how the human body behaves, reacts to different kinds of calibers.

Yes, but blue states also physically house or contain a massive amount of military hardware and bases.

For example, broadly speaking, there are not too many major naval bases in red states, there are not too many major army bases in blue states.

Where are which air wings, at the moment?

Which units and commanders pick which sides?

Who gets which nukes?

... Who knows?

We would be far from the first country going through a civil war or balkanization or coup or revolution or even the first time in our own history where things like this would come into play.

Also, it probably would be less about money, per se, as to where would be potentially invaded... as it would be... water, areas with any kind of major manufacturing hubs, extractable natural resources, arable land, large power plants, etc.

It is also highly unlikely that there would be a clean break along state boundaries... lines would almost certainly be redrawn, in one way or another.

If people could get over themselves and realize that fractures like this represent opportunities to try and find even the tiniest speck of shared values with those conservatives who appear to not be totally rabid MAGA cultists...

... instead of just relentlessly mocking them...

... there is a chance that a total obliteration of free speech and total crackdown on liberals and leftists, as in, throwing them all into jails, or worse, along with the establishment of a repressive theofascist state basically along the lines of Gilead...

... could at least be avoided in the near term.

The alternative is that all liberals and leftists and minorities and the homeless and soon to become homeless... act indignant and confused and outraged as they are more or less marched into camps for 'making jokes'.

If anyone has a better plan, or alternative analysis... I am all ears.

And how do you know that any of the nodes your traffic is traversing... are not honey pots? Run by an intel or LE agency, or multiple of them collaborating or whatever?

Or that they're not, untill something like this happens, and then they are?

This kind of thing has been done before, yes, its difficult to backtrace a real identity out of TOR, but it has beem done.

I guess I am not trying to say TOR offers no, 0, additional security/privacy... as you say, depends a lot on your use case and the rest of your set up... but I also do not think TOR is anywhere near as secure as the ... uh, general security enthusiast community, for whom 'opsec' is more or less 'i installed the secure app'... or whatever you want to call them, thinks it is.

I mean, entirely without irony, you are describing what is almost certain to happen, to a reasonably accurate level of specificity.

I already said it on the same day it happened:

He is a disciple of a holy leader and movement to them, they are an apocalyptic death cult, expect them to act as an apocalyptic death cult whose beloved disciple has just been publically slain.

It... has been wild, seeing the extent to which liberals and even many leftists... are surprised by what is happening.

Of course they are lying, foolish, violent, mythical/superstitious hypocrites.

Duh, obviously, that is their whole thing.

That was the whole reason you disliked them, right?

... What did we ... all think they would do?

Not seize on a Reichstag Fire moment as a pretext to assume total control?

???

EDIT:

https://www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-republican-troy-nehls-jesus-13-disciple-2131492

Texas Republican Representative Troy Nehls said Wednesday that slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk would have been Jesus' "13th disciple" if he lived during biblical times.

Well there ya go.

One of em just literally said it.

Where?

Show me a screenshot where there is a clear wound and hole in the shirt.

Show blood emmenating up from this supposed wound to the chest, not resulting from the later spray of blood from his neck.

Further:

What exactly are you proposing?

That the round came from Kirk's front, did something like hit his sternum?

And then exited out of his neck?

How would that work?

As best I can tell, he wasn't wearing body armor, neither plate nor kevlar.

Plate would be extremely obvious and practically impossible to hide under a thin white t shirt, and even if he did have a low profile, thin kevlar underlayer, a straight on shot from a 30.06 would blow right through that, it would not deflect nearly 90 degrees, no way, thats ludicrous.

Prior to me seeing this video, my conception of the shot was that the wound that 'geysers', in the front, was the entrance wound, and it was coming from more or less straight in front of him, and thus there should be some exit wound roughly on the rear of his neck or head....

But I never saw anything to actually indicate the presence of such a wound, as I went into a PTSD shock episode upon seeing the close up footage of the neck geyser and the life leaving his eyes... and I had to take a fucking break from looking at shit for a while.

I do appreciate that you are a mortician assistant though, thats better than nothing, though I doubt you deal with many bodys other than those that have been dead for some time.

... What I was trying to say is that he claims to be a Scout Sniper from the United States Marine Corps.

What I mean by saying I cannot 100% prove this is that I do not personally know him, I do not have a copy of his discharge or leave papers that would definitely prove that he is or was a member of the military.

On the other side of that:

He talks and acts and looks exactly like an actual military sniper would, and, if you go look at another comment I made, he knows things about ballistics that most laypeople do not know.

I do not know who this guy is.

I randomly found, on youtube, what appears to me to be a well thought out and reasonable ballistic analysis.

Myself, I grew up conservative, in the US, around guns, but I myself later became leftist when I realized the hypocrisy of the conservative world view.

I am thus familiar enough with shooting weapons, using them, their mechanics, as well as first aid training in how to at least immediately deal with the effects of gunshots, and I have been around enough other range shooters and hunters and such that I think I can reasonably discern that:

Yeah, this guy probably is an actual sniper, he acts very similarly to many other actual military snipers I have met at shooting ranges.

... Horrifying as this all is:

Further evidence that TOR is far from safe or secure.

Oh?

Are you a paramedic?

A hunter?

An ER/OR nurse/doctor surgeon?

Also did you even watch the full video?

I don't know what you're talking about with 'a video under a shirt'.

None of the videos in this guy's clips were 'under' a shirt.
