This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Well yea, but you can buy a semi-automatic riffle on walmart and legally own a bump that makes that automatic…
I may be too european, but cops are not bastards here in Hungary…
It is different in the vast majority of of the EU, true.
Aren't they Orban's removed? Genuine question. I have seen examples where they definitely have been.
No, actually they and the military quite a bit dislike Orban regardless of their political standing! He started his first 4 year by fucking over their benefits and retirement plan… What did you see?
Police declining to execute European Arrest Warrant, inconvenient to Orban.
Not one person, not in the public sector is going to stand up in defiance alone?
My dad works in the army, he and his colleagues were out on the pride (which was kinda a protest too since the Orban said we can’t have a pride)! He didn’t agree with… well anything (gonna be a fun day when he finds out I am bi) but in a face mask, a face covering shawl and a sunglass he was out there
Generic sentiment that Orban is dictatorial coupled with an association of dictatorships and a dependency on the military? That's probably enough to be getting on with, ain't nobody got time to know about everything. But actually not OP, I probably would've drawn the same inferences and am enlightened by you.
Orbans rule is not that of military one? Despite his best efforts we are atill a European country
His rule can be thanked to a multitude of reasons mainly: -Gerrymandering: With 43% of vites he received 76% mandate somehow in the last cycle -Insane levels of corruption that among other thing were used to buy and build a media empire to control the narrative -Lack of real opposition: all were bought or their rep destroyed by the before mentioned news empire! Peter Magyar seems like he will finally finally win ag Orban, as his name is kinda impervious (he used to be the husband of the formal minister of justice; someone who were forced to stepped down after she gave pardon to the pedofile friend of Orbans brother) and to some degree he was a party member, tho neither site is willing to reveal how much… And tho every election cycle had the same hype: that fidesz is finally going to prison…
ACAB, but some are more bastarts than others.
I would really disagree, I haven’t the faintest clue whats its like in the US but as someone of gypsy descent and as someone who grew up in a soviet era 10 story building I have never had a singular bad experience with them!
ACAB is a very good slogan, but only if we understand it.
It's very specifically referring to cops like the American police system, not the concept of policing. Community policing and ensuring people are safe and have someone to help them in emergencies is a good thing, community policing makes community livable, it's a basic feature of society.
Cops in America trace their roots to violent thugs who were paid by wealth slavers to return their slaves. Their job is literally to protect the property of the rich, not to protect or serve the community as they claim.
Wal-Mart does not sell guns for the most part anymore.
Mine does, redneck town, but it's all hunting style rifles and shotguns, nothing tacticool. I won't buy from big corpo, too big a pain. I just use guns.com for the most part.
Huh… Kinda glad! Studied a semester out there in 2019 and was really really shocked when I saw a weapon stands in almost every larger supermarket!
What?! I've lived in gun happy states almost my whole life and have never seen guns sold in grocery stores. Walmart might be considered weird, but everywhere else is a sports store and a dedicated gun shop.
I definietly saw a gun stand in target in florida!
It wasn't widespread, but I've been in gas stations in Florida that sold firearms.
LOL WUT!? Never been anywhere that redneck and I live in the panhandle. Wonders never cease.
Nah dawg, they only sell pellet guns, long-barrel rifles, and shotguns at Wal-Mart, but I get your point. I'll just say, it may be important over here to own those semi-automatic death makers when SHTF.
But what sort of shit would hit the fan? I really don’t want to be an asshole, but one of the reasons I heard ‘to protect your rights’ but how? Like an armed militia against the government? If all is in favor ag the gov, then there is no need for bloodshed; and if none but your cause is just then history would would honor it without bloodshed
The other thing I heard is self defense… But like if none one had guns, would you need guns to defend yourself?
Economic and political collapse are not an impossibility, so having a way to defend myself if things get dicey is a nice reassurance. Luckily I'm in BFE and guns double as a food resource tool.
…how? Isn’t the us a first world country?
🤣 FWINO, First World In Name Only.
