Having grown up next to a very real sundown town, and having dealt with these people for 20+ years as a result of it, after about age 12 or 13, most people who can be "saved" from that ideology start saving themselves because they recognize it's fucked. The ones who can't be saved start justifying and rationalizing it, first in their own heads, then outloud to others. Having watched Klan marches while just trying to go to the dentist, having been spat on for being a "race traitor" having had to physically defend friends from attempted hate crimes, having had to help put out a burning cross on a friend's yard, fuck the mentality that we have to coddle them. The ones who need coddling still hold those same ideologies. The ones who have truly reformed don't ask for forgiveness, just to be allowed to fight back alongside us, and they shut the fuck up, keep their heads down, and sure as shit don't glorify their old ideology or try to dismiss it as "haha I was so quirky when I had that little Nazi phase" they are genuinely remorseful, accept how bad the shit they did was, don't play it off, and work their asses off to dismantle the groups they were in.

There is something revealing here and in other notes of that post. I'm trying to put my finger on it...it's as if there is an acceptance that White Supremacy, while wrong, is a privilege people are allowed to indulge in, and so other people need to endlessly be patient and rehabilitate them. Like it's a White Right, like of course they get to explore their evil legacy a bit, in order to discover it's wrong. And/or that fascism/white supremacy/ideological racism is something anyone could fall "victim" to if they were exposed to the same "magical" radicalization material, and not that people who "fall into" hate groups already have a fundamental world view that is precedent...they start from a place where the natural logical progression is an all powerful ethno-state.

It's also revealing that a hypothetical reformed neo-nazi must needs constant validation and forgiveness lest they fall back. Presumably someone who has exited a hate group like this, truly reformed, would not seek validation, they would have the wherewithal. They would self-actualize, and understand why. But it's revealing isn't, that they can forgive a "nazi phase" because the risk is that they could return to a "nazi phase"...so what are these people imagining they are forgiving? They aren't imagining forgiveness, they are imagining some sort of mutual sycophantic theater where politics is just...the posts you make on the internet I guess. Idk, lots to think of here. I don't think these people have met real creeps, the kind that make your skin prickle. I don't think these people have engaged at any level what neo-nazi material looks like.

Before I returned to Veterinary medicine, I was in Cabinetmaking and wood technology, and there were times I wondered why the fuck half the regs we had needed to be written down, why our safety briefings needed to be so damn long, I just wanted to build... then a kid the year behind me in trade school decided to skip a push stick on the jointer 7 months into his training, rushing through his spring project. Kid lost all function in his left hand, severed his FCU Tendon, lost part of his triquertum bone and required 58 stitches in his hand and wrist and a blood transfusion. The stain on the concrete never quite went away before I finished my program. Peroxide, concrete stripper... it wouldn't fully get rid of the brown stain at the base of the jointer. The next week we all had to go from a 10 hour OSHA certification to a 30 hour OSHA certification. Thankfully, he only fucked himself up ignoring safety regulations.

I've seen kickbacks fly at people operating equipment behind the tablesaws, had my own close call while running a CNC router table when someone else had a tablesaw throw a piece towards me, ruin a cnc bit and a $150 rough sawn price figured maple slab, but it got caught up in the running CNC and not me by about 7° difference in its trajectory angle at takeoff and about 18 inches from my face. The other woodworker didn't get impaled or lose a finger because they followed all their OSHA regs, I was following OSHA regs for the CNC router, but there still could have been a really dangerous incident there because of the routers location behind a tablesaw.

OSHA regs are just the tip of the iceberg for work safety, because our shop was set up for compliance, but having seen some of the shit I've seen, there are layout changes I would have made to our shop to be mindful of the fact that there were 20-40 people working in the shop at a time. I've had saws run away on me when their primary switches failed in the on position (part of why all tools need fail safes and backup power cutting options) I've had saw kicks and throwbacks, the dangerous shit that will happen to every woodworker if they work long enough, I haven't had any injuries from woodworking beyond splinters and blisters because I follow my OSHA shit.

Keep an eye out for safety problems on site when you're interviewing

Read up on your industry's safety standards

Read your material SDS sheets

Walk if your employer tries to shame or pressure you out of OSHA compliance

Keep up to date on industry safety briefings and case/post incident studies

Seriously WALK if your employer is trying to shortcut safety

I know the safety compliance/osha man is the brunt of a lot of jokes in the trades, mostly because a lot of them have forgotten that their job is supposed to protect the worker rather than the profits, but in theory, they are there to protect YOU and YOUR life, cut the fucker some slack.

"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

Meat processing done it before I'd do it again

You are paid $15/hr (40 hrs/week) for all except going to jail. Assume you will be hired and cannot be fired. Pick a sentencing:

Work in a meat processing plant (12 months)

Work in a coal mine (10 months)

Work on an oil rig (8 months)

Be Jailed (18 months)

Palm sunday is a great holiday, craftwise

For reference, I live in a not so great Philly suburb, unfortunately, so I'm a little bit more heavily armed than I would be in other places

I carry a 9mm Glock 43 with a 6+1 round capacity. You can also go for the 43X, which has a similar profile but double the round capacity. The sizing is right for my grip, and the texture is less sandpaper like than the S&W and Sigs on market. I payed about $470 for my Glock as a factory rebuilt gun. My holster is a convertible kydex holster as well, able to be mounted both in the waistband and outside of it, I find these to be the best for me personally as a southpaw shooter since they're usually ambidextrous. I also added an under barrel mounted flashlight and laser combo (Streamlight TLR-6) since the 3 times I've considered drawing my firearm from holster in real world events happened either in my darkened home or at night at a gas station. I pair my primary holster with a belly band as well that I keep my debit card, ID, and spare mags in. My secondary is kept in either a boot holster or an ankle holster *with trigger guard*

The glock does not have a manual safety, it has a safety trigger, but that is not the same. My secondary sidearm (Kimber Micro in .380 ACP had the thumb safety removed by its prior owner (likely another southpaw shooter since 1911 style models are incredibly difficult to handle the safety on as a southpaw) which is why I carry that one condition 3.

My next handgun purchase will be the Glock 17 for in home situations, open carry when necessary, and competition shooting.

I have had to draw my gun once, and I will tell you right now, it is an adrenaline surge, whether or not you have to take the shot. I can't tell you which factors played into it more vs others, but despite hearing the blood rushing in my ears I do know I would have taken the shot had he not opted for the more peaceful option to GTFO of my house. I also know that I would have been an emotional wreck afterward.

I'm seeing a ton of Feminists urging eachother to get a gun due to the election results, which is fantastic news imo American women please please please assert your 2nd amendment rights and get a gun if you're able to <3

You can start by looking into the gun laws in your state: https://everytownresearch.org/rankings/compare/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_by_state Gun safety: https://www.agirlandagun.org/how-to-shoot/4-rules-of-gun-safety/ Youtube has thousands of gun related videos, it's a male dominated culture but there are absolutely a ton of resources for female shooters and beginners. Reddit has a handful of firearm related subs, included r/firearms(skews conservative/rightwing) and r/liberalgunowners and r/concealedcarrywomen Facebook has women's gun groups also, many of them skew conservative but can still be a valuable resource for beginners Check out your local area for self defense firearm classes, some will have classes geared specifically to women. Check out your local gun stores, or sporting goods stores, some will have a range in which you can rent a firearm before purchasing but many don't have this feature, so it's important to do product research before buying. https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-handguns-women/ https://tombstonetactical.com/blog/best-guns-for-women (Most guns range from $400 to $700 btw) Gun store employees are overwhelmingly male (and in my experience, old) and might try to steer you towards the tiny pink pistol, or a .22, or something else equally impractical for self defense. It's important to be assertive and clear in what you're looking for!
