This reminds me of an interaction I had here the other day. There was an article about ICE kidnappings in San Francisco and someone asked why the armed gangs weren’t doing battle with ICE. There are no roving armed gangs in San Francisco, despite what shitty right wing media fantasies claim.

More deranged far right media tossing smoke grenades at and setting off fireworks in the faces of already deranged right-wingers, calling it WWIII. Earth keeps turning, sun keeps burning.

Looks like that flew over someone's head.

If you want to learn about a nation’s politics, go to the international news coverage of that nation. If you want to learn about a nation’s level of violence, check their local news.
