You're right. The problem are the number of people who have post modernism at the core of their thinking - the idea that there is no objective truth.

What's the normal status of a city in terms of being on fire? What's your standard here - Dresden?

I mean establishing a curfew during the night, not stopping peaceful protest.

Peaceful protest is peaceful protest. It's a democratic right and always legitimate.
Failing to properly report the scale of violence and looting whilst simultaneously questioning the legitimacy of the response to it though exposes the media narrative for what it is, not objective.

What utter nonsense.

I believe that various examples of this and numerous people being killed invalidates the claim that the national guard shouldn't be on the street with clear curfews to protect life.

You realise that various people have died in the rioting, right?
Re:CIA veterans who monitored crackdowns see parallels

This article makes sense in the absence of proper national reporting on the level of looting and rioting. For those that have seen it first hand, the national guard on the streets is a relief.

None until you actually interact with the system. Then, potentially, all of them.

Ironic
Re:James Damore and three others end Google suit

I think that's because a lot of people think that some corporations now have much greater power than governments, especially when it comes to influencing / controlling social thought.

Seriously, who in society is doing this?
20 years ago there was a lot less of a push for women in tech and you actually did hear lots of people espouse this view, now the programmes and encouragement is everywhere and the social cost of a different view is your job.
What is being argued and and what is happening don't seem to correlate.
Re:Closing The Collapse Gap: The USSR was better prepared than the US ...
on Wednesday May 06, 2020 @01:15AM (#23088091)
This idea of US collapse, as framed seems deeply silly, for a number of reasons.
1. This isn't really the US we are talking about, its the Western economic system
2. Things 'collapse' in different ways. A slow collapse looks more like a transition. Most things don't collapse anywhere near as quickly as the USSR for obvious reasons.
