Yeah, I'll give you that one.
They're not sitting outside of a Starbucks on a cell phone
My dude can we not gatekeep homelessness‽ Lack of a home in societies with abundance is a systemic issue stemming from the diversion of tax funds away from supporting those who desperately need it. Just because the Starbucks people are human enough to give the guy a cup of coffee while he charges the best chance he has at getting the support doesn't mean he is the problem.
Dehumanization of any population is the issue. Your neighbor is not a subhuman to you, nor you to him (I hope) but suddenly the neighbor a few blocks down is a subhuman? What's the local "radius of exclusion" before we start othering more humans?
bring back McCarthyism
Fuck outta here with that authoritarian bullshit. You truly want to hold millions of people responsible for falling victim to Zuck getting high off Cambridge Analytica and globalizing the flood-gates of shit spewing? Content serving algorithms have torn communities apart, promoted violence and hate world-wide for most of the past 20 years. That's plenty of time for 're-education' and here we are reaping the benefits.
Hurt people hurt people. Human billionaires hurt society. Generational wealth oppressing generational trauma. Authoritarianism leads to the same power imbalance, and purging ideologies is anti-human.
This was what I took away from his comment as well. His personal experience with physical abuse likely lead him to interpret "slapped upside the head" in a more visceral way than I think OP intended. The jump in 'rhetorical spiciness' tends to prime the reader a certain way. He expressed his doubt and confusion but only after bringing up a seemingly unrelated (and potentially bigoted) example.
I mean if you think about it all of human history has been A-B testing different societal feature sets in different regions.
The Venn diagram of gun fetishists and the people still cheering for Trump is nearly a circle.
Primary issues I can see with retrieval are tangling/kinking and re-spooling/splicing. The fibers are insanely thin and the drones are flying in between trees, not exactly a smooth path for retrieval.
I saw a picture a few weeks ago of a field in Ukraine, taken from amongst an adjacent patch of trees, and it just looks like spiderwebs. Dozens and dozens of fine spider web strands, each one delivering a drone into the meat grinder. Terrible, beautiful, and such a fucking waste.
I prefer the term concentration camp.
If you have any history of diagnosis or treatment for ADHD you're fucked if they get this far. These people don't care about the differences. I've taken stimulants for a decade, and considering the only thing between this administration and those records are a call to Walmart? I've got my passport close and am job hunting in Sweden/Germany.

That much rotational energy tends to keep rotating, even if that means ripping the entire seized gear box off the fuselage before taking out the tail boom!
