I right is not a declaraction of necessity. It's just a limit on legislation. It's not a guaranteed freedom or a duty of citizens. It's ONLY a limut on legislation.

"Congress shall make no law" is the term that should ring in your head when thinking about the scope of a Constitutional Rights.

Freedom of religion doesn't say religion is necessary it just tries to equalize the freedom for all who want it. Speach too really, you aren't really required to talk much and exercise your freedom of speech, it's mostly optional. 2nd ammendment right is the same. It's a limit on legislation to control guns that ensures the OPTION to get a gun remains an option, but still only an option. It doesn't proclaim that all citizens should get guns.

Yeah, this is what happens when you plan your communities on open farmland, and then, after 70 years of poor forestry management practices, they turn into urban forests. I know everyone shits on the utility, but tree damage is the main cause of downed power lines here.

That's still Die Linke, mostly. Or take a pick of a smaller party, there are plenty. That stance is not forbidden, by any means.

Categorial pacifism would be nice, but can only work when everyone adheres to it. Sadly, there are enough dickheads in high places to take advantage and try to dominate everyone.

The maga rights entire existence is based around "owning the libs." I don't even think there is a point to be made about anything they argue for. It has devolved from outdated thinking to just anti leftwing to the point that they would watch the world burn before giving anything bipartisan support. The right has killed itself by letting Trump infect it.

> OTOH, if these are based on foreign disinformation, governments need to do a better job shutting that down.

Everything is based on disinformation, both the west and the Russians have been engaging in widespread propaganda efforts. You only need to see the amount of "Putin has cancer, he's about to die" "there's about to be a Putin coup" on the worldnews subreddit to see that the propaganda is flowing copiously from both sides.

Cause temperature isn’t the only factor. I’m lucky in that my area is with power, but the winter storm was a mix of high winds and fluctuations in temperature around 32 degrees Fahrenheit. So rain was coming down, turning into ice, and a few hours later it would freeze again just to melt later on. I’ve lived here for seven years and this was one of the worst one’s I’ve seen
