    We were not prepared, as a species, for a device that let us come up with any opinion at all and find validation for it.

    It used to be that when you had an opinion that was wrong, you’d say it out loud a number of times, and you’d notice that everyone around you would call you an imbecile and ridicule you. It would make you reassess yourself and grow as a person.

    Now that societal failsafe is gone. Now people just aren’t challenged for holding the wrong opinion.

    That was an integral part of growing up and maturing. We don’t have a solution for it.



  • Doesn’t make any sense bud lol.

    If I hate a race… if I am spiteful towards a race… wouldn’t I want less of them?

    If only someone close to Hitler could have told him - the real way to enact your hatred over the Jews would be to increase the number of Jewish people.

    You’re just inventing shit because your argument makes no sense.












  • Average police officer salary in the US is 60k.

    Do you know the average salary in the US? Also 60k.

    Wouldn’t you rather have an average job instead of an “I could be killed today” job? We all would.

    And so the only people that actually want to take average salary at the risk of death are people that are power-hungry and murder-hungry.

    You aren’t gonna get better training at this salary level. You aren’t going to get a system that pays Walmart Manager salary that also has some rigorous hiring and training process that teaches you how to make split second life or death decisions.

    This isn’t the secret service. It’s Walmart Managers with guns.
