When Trump brought the cat and dog thing up at the debate, I thought he was cooked and that nobody in the right frame of mind, not even the average chud, would believe it, but the next day people at my work were talking about how true it is and that it needs to be stopped. It's amazing and scary how easily people are quick to believe something without a shred of evidence.

Even my mom texted me a mugshot of a woman who was arrested for killing and trying to eat a cat. But when I replied that it happened in a completely different city and the suspect was a US born citizen with mental issues, she said that the suspect was actually Haitian, it happened in Springfield and the police are pretending it happened somewhere else to make their town look good.

I don't even know how to respond to a take like that. Just a year or so ago she was happy to see Alex Jones getting canceled for threatening families of the kids who died at Sandy Hook. Now she's believing and forwarding Jones-grade conspiracy shit, and she couldn't care less about school shootings anymore. It's depressing as fuck.

      He runs/used to run the Not Fuckin Around Coalition; NFAC. Reason I couch his status is because he recently got pinched on what I still feel is a bogus firearms charge; mostly bc I never believe the feds when they're talking about locking up a Black man who was building an armed formation, and when he got pinched, activities seemed to stop. A lot of my issue with his coalition is that while they were self-determinist and (theoretically, at least; I never saw any purchases occur myself) fixated on acquiring land to attempt to build a Black state on, they were also a heavily Abrahamic, patriarchal formation that by the time I had found them, were already getting into Tariq Nasheed-esque colorism and shit.

      There was a whole lot there to disagree with, is my point; but from where I sit, at the very least, he was right on preparation for self defense, and he was right trying to nation-build.
