This has happened before. This will happen again. But even dumber.
Here's a cool thing I learned recently about eyes! While nearly all vertebrates have two eyes, a few have a third parietal eye, and lampreys have two! And since the lamprey is so old, that could mean that all early vertebrates had bunches of eyes!
It's not relevant, I just think it's cool.

This disproves your entire argument. Most people today understand that marrying a child is legalized rape. Most people today think this thing that is legal is morally wrong. Whether or not the government approves has nothing to do with actual people's moral beliefs.

The only practical benefit I can see to this press op is reenforcing the shitlib notion that the far right and "far" left are virtually the same, but they're gonna harangue on their horseshoe bullshit no matter what, so I doubt this really pushes that needle

One of the hardest things to get people to accept is how ALL of this ties back to climate change. Techno-feudalism, global fascism, infrastructural degradation, widespread nihilism, etc. It's all a response to increasing instability. Capitalism can't sustain itself, so it self-cannibalizes.

DHS claimed an incident on Oct. 3 showed agents were in danger of being "rammed."
In fact, body cams "suggest[] that the agent drove erratically and brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

![Defendants also highlighted an October 3, 2025 video, presumably to show that agents driving the streets faced constant danger from cars ramming them on purpose. Axon Body 3. Video. But instead of leaving this impression, the video, which almost entirely consists of a view of the back seat of the car and some dialogue about how the agent’s “body cam is on” and he is “still recording,” suggests that the agent drove erratically and brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force. Id. This also calls into question Hewson’s testimony that motorists have rammed into agents every day during the operation. [FN 8]
[FN 8] 8 The Court acknowledges that at times agents have dealt with aggressive drivers. See, e.g., Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-23. But this has not been the norm in the videos that the Court has viewed, with agents instead often treating cars that are merely following them but not driving aggressively as potential threats. See, e.g., Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-23_1011_D01A31902 at 2:00–3:20 (showing an agent stating to a woman who had been behind his vehicle and gotten out to video agents as they stopped at the exit of an alley that “if you keep following us, we’re going to arrest you, you’ve been warned,” but nothing prevented the agents from continuing to drive); Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-23_1012_D01A45488 at 2:00–2:45 (showing that, despite having a clear path to continue driving, an agent gets out of his vehicle and tells a woman in the car behind him who was honking that “You know what you’re doing is illegal and you could be arrested for impeding law enforcement. I’m just warning you . . . following law enforcement, honking, and harassing agents is impeding law enforcement”); Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-25_1045_D01A36942 at 3:42–3:50 (Agent (tapping on glass of a car behind agents’ vehicle): “Stop following us.” Bystander: “They’re allowed to follow you.” Agent: “No they’re not.”).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifvyjcsr7lb6a65impvn6jer5hiorc5r4isr7hwbeussapmkqhnqi@jpeg)

I think it's better to know and explore what individual ideas you believe in than to ascribe to an ideology. Parking yourself under a tent can lead you to adopt ideas you might not really agree with. No single philosophy is "correct." Some offer better solutions than others.
