This is a joke meme that doesn't mean anything ..... just like the American public transport system.

We were nutty kids. I'm Indigenous from northern Ontario so I grew up with a lot of rough kids, friends and relatives. We used to literally play dodge ball with one another by throwing rocks at each other .... the fun and games usually ended when a good sized rock hit someone and someone started bawling their eyes out (I was a victim of such fun and games more than once). I also remember one winter sliding down a small hill with jagged metal nearby. We kept pushing each other around to end up in the danger zone ... I pushed one of my cousins at just the right moment and he ended up tearing up his hand, straight through his hide mitten and winter clothing ... there was quite a bit of blood, especially over the white snow.
Sometimes I'm just amazed that we even survived childhood. Our luck would have held in the Roman legions but I don't think we would have lasted more than one campaign.
LATE EDIT: Jesus .... this just triggered a memory as well ... I fell once when I was playing with my friends in our family backyard which was filled with dad's old machinery, vehicles, metal parts and just about any other imaginable thing that could slice you open. I landed face first onto some sort of sheet metal box with a sharp pointed edge. My brow bounced off the metal and nicked my skin. About half an inch lower and I would have lost my eye.
Same here ... but with the friends I grew up with - I would have lost an actual eye if we had tried this.
I always loved this short clip of kids forming a Roman Testudo .... especially in seeing one of the lead warriors who takes one in the eye
Better yet, take down the fake "hornet nest", and take it home to disassemble and recover the hidden recordings inside
Not really, the club got fractured a few times and spawned competitor copy cat book clubs all over the place ... they keep trying to out do one another with different rules, dress codes and funny hats.
Catalonia eh? ... you have to go through that door then ... door shuts ... sounds of whip cracking and screaming
I wonder how they treat that at immigration at an airport for tourists ....
Oh, you're from Spain? ... please go through that door please .... door shuts ... gun shots go off
China 2060: ..... a space elevator
USA 2060: .... still the same rail service
That one loose critical engine bolt which represents that one critical line in my email that says "love you" to my random business contact.
How about just shut your country down? a mass protest or nation strike on every business and corporation.
Feed people of course and let food and water work as usual but every profit driven business is just stopped for a day or two.
I know its a pie in the sky idea and everyone will shoot me down as nuts but its the only tool that the public has against its government and corporate overlords.

Let me know if this works any better or worse
and also, Happy Vulcan Day .... lol
I know many other seasoned Star Trek fans out there have probably experienced this one many times before. But I just watched this episode for the first time and the writing, acting and story just blew me away. So far it is by far one of my favourite scenes and episodes of the series so far. The dialogue between Bashir and Garak at end the of the episode is a classic.
I don't like giving too many details ... all you Star Trek pros already know what this episode leads up to. For those who don't, or haven't watched it yet, it is completely amazing episode to watch just for the writing and acting alone.
This is the first time I've been able to watch DS9 from beginning to end and although I'm still in Season Two, I'm completely loving it. So much of the conflict and complexities of war and its aftermath are still very relevant today and its amazing to see. Then they give you a breath outside of the politics and give you interactions like this with Garak and Bashir and I find it completely enthralling.
I know this may be kind of a fan favourite that's probably been stated many times before .... I was just so happy to see it that I had to share my enthusiasm.
If that's the logic of your movement .... then violence becomes a logical option. If your followers are that unhinged, you have to use violence because they are becoming comfortable with the idea of wanting to kill you for opposing them.
