So, your plan for fixing everything is for the left to stop voting so that the right can win and make voting illegal.

Because that's how it works.

This election in particular has democracy itself on the ballot.

It may be a flawed democracy, but the only other option is a fascist dictatorship.

There are no other options because of First Past the Post voting. Literally. The math does not lie.

Bots building post history in an abandoned looking sub. Usually done to get access to some other sub.

With the right looking post history you can scam your way onto a surprising large number of moderation teams.

And he likely also has a certain idea of who the criminals are.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Did you know that Nelson Mandela was the leader of a literal terrorist organization?

He ordered attacks that killed people. That's why he was in prison.

And every one forgave him, and even voted him into power.

All because South African Apartheid was fundamentally evil.

Israeli Apartheid is orders of magnitude worse than the South African version.

Instead they went with the stupidest and most cruel option. Make sure there's no ventilation on the mask, and that it had a tight seal before turning on the gas. A gas they were treating like a deadly poison.

And since there was no ventilation at all, there was no gas flow. There was no oxygen displacement. Just the CO2 buildup.

A big part of it was scientific illiteracy. There was talk at the time about "protecting the prison officers from exposure to the gas".

They were treating it like a poison.

Which adds stupidity to the malice.

There's actually some merit to this statement.

In the late 1940s, the philosophical arm of the Lehi terrorist organization literally plagiarized Nazi race science with Aryan scratched out and "God's chosen people" subbed in.

What's worse is the links to white supremacy in all this shit.

The origin of many of these ancient alien slash ancient apocalypse "theories" are 1900s Germany.

People who were looking for a "scientific" reason why Germans were the superior race.

The core thrust of every "ancient" whatever theory is that ancient people were idiots and had to be shown how to pile rocks into a pyramid shape or shit.

The imaginary people who "showed" ancient brown people how to do shit are always depicted as white.

Over on reddit there's an entire genre of this sort of fiction in /r/hfy

Except the truth is that no, almost every venom is safe to ingest. Provided you don't have any cuts in your mouth or throat.

Snakes are not immune to their own venom. They don't need to be, because their stomach acid can break it down.

As can ours.

It's not a remake. It's a sequel with the same director and writing team as the first one.

It also has a few truly disturbing scenes.
