I shall remember your valiant efforts to survive the purge and curse your kind for losing every last 10mm socket.

Would you rather be complicit with fascism or fight for something better?

Also, you’re overlooking how much CA funds the rest of the nation. Flyover states do not function without funding from states like CA and TX. Take the west coast from the rest of the US and all that’s left struggles to qualify as third world lmfao

Thankfully CA can fund its.own military once we no longer need to send charity to all the red states with dirt for an economy. Actually, our police forces in the state routinely spend more money than entire foreign militaries. I’m sure with a couple trade deals and strategic defense pacts that California can easily become it’s own country.

“Professionally trained” buddy these freaks mag dump on acorns falling off trees.

The one thing working 6 months for the USCG taught me was how thin a line the government operates on. Even at the pseudomilitary level with all the funding DHS can provide, boats barely function, equipment barely runs, and maintainence is almost always pushed back due to budget. 80% of their shit is falling apart and the 20% that isn’t is in some management’s office and hasn’t been used by anyone competent since acquisition.

As far as I’m concerned, any government run organization is maybe 4 weeks away from folding like a lawn chair. I really, REALLY don’t think the odds are great of a perfect fascist cleansing taking less than a month in this country.

Actually, they’re fucked. If cops start ignoring judges, citizens can start ignoring cops. If there is no law backing the law enforcement, then they’re nothing but armed terrorists and should be dealt with accordingly. Id LOVE to see ICE try some shit in LA or Fresno.

The bigger problem is that genuine law enforcement efforts are discouraged from actually catching pedophiles because they often end up being constituents of those same cops, either politically or socially. It’s either a priest, a super PAC donor, or another cop on the other end of that investigation.

One does not “get” thermite. One makes thermite. All you need is powdered rust, aluminum powder, a rough ratio of the two by weight, and a sufficient heat source like a magnesium strip to light it off.

First, you’re just wrong. You know there are 2 amp wireless chargers, right?

And you’re missing a group that gains MASSIVE benefits from wireless charging, which is the disabled. Imagine your hands never stop shaking and you either have to try to fiddle a USB C into an Itty bitty slot, or just plonk the phone down on a puck. Which one would appeal to you?

This is a fantastic way to get cops shot and killed in the street. Please, PLEASE try this shit in Oakland or Los Angeles I am begging you.

Canada isn’t a sovereign state? They’re an extension of the crown of the UK. Am I missing something here?

Pretty much anything in a machine shop made in the last 80 years or so. So many people turn up their noses at anything that isn’t computer controlled anymore. Yknow what a big old mill can do that a CNC can’t? It can make every single part needed to make a new mill. It’s a self replicating machine with the right know how. People don’t respect that kind of quality anymore.
