Calculators didn’t make math obsolete, it just made getting the wrong answer that much quicker

Surveillance states and mobile recording devices in everyone’s pocket, plus a media machine that portrays any violence done as barbarism means that the people delivering haymakers to skinhead fucks are no longer safe themselves

I’m sorry I’m maybe spoiled with the horror stories and familial PTSD of their right wing junta governments indiscriminately popping protesters in the street, curfews, and torture of the innocents.

I’m sorry that your current reality is an aggression into your homeland and that they’re calling on you against your will. That sure sucks. But even if goes against your wishes, peace doesn’t exist there (presumably you’re talking from the Ukraine) and liberties are the first thing to go when shit gets real. No one pretended during the world war that they were a free and fair democracy with all cards on the table, every country has a wartime powers act if they modeled it after Greco-Roman representative democracy.

Good luck with the ruskies, hope they die 2 per 1 shot at your country’s hands for what they’re doing. Stay tough or whatever bro, or sorry you feel that way, whichever works for you.

When the left punishes you, it’s social ostracism, which can be brutal in its own right. But.

When the right punishes you, it’s your time they take away, not your opportunities. Labor prisons, monopolies you’re stuck paying for, lower quality larger profit less oversight (for the loyal, the disloyal are taken for helicopter rides or foreign treatment.

At least with a loss of opportunities, you still have your life and other guaranteed freedoms to find a different opportunity.
