Civil War Doomsday Clock

"He felt threatened, so firing a gun into a crowd is totally justified!"

I found that shooting to be justified, somebody was using an aerosol can to make a hand held flame thrower, he fired a single aimed shot at him.

Seems like he was prosecuted for being a Klansman basically.

Men at the top work too much, if you ask me. I remember VPs that were on campus for most of the day (the whole day, not the workday), had to work through the weekends, etc. One of my work friends was a son of the VP of a different division. His dad worked nonstop.

I've made my bones, and I work at a pretty good level (not the top-top but high enough that I am above the clouds) and I can tell you right now, I may do more paperwork, but in comparison the "hard" work I do isn't the same as someone in the trenches. I use my brain to keep the politics out of my department and beg for money once in a blue moon. I write proposals and research...

The field I am in, the people in the trenches make me look good, not the other way around.

I go back to the trenches to never forget where I came from and to make sure that my employees get what they need to succeed.

I think you are fooling yourself. Men at the top of the corporate hierarchy gave up most of their private lives to business. If you want to operate at that level, you need to be prepared to not see your wife and son very often.

I already do, I work 60/70 hours a week. I see my son during the week 2 hours a day at most, when he wakes up, and before he goes to bed. It kills me, but the pay is worth it in the long run. On the weekends is when I spend time with my family unless there is an emergency.

The only reason I am on here now is my lunch break. The times you see me on is when I am out of the office, home or lunch. My day doesn't end when I go home, I deal with phone calls and interactions with China and the rest until 1:00 or so AM, and I'm out of the house at 5:30 AM every morning.

Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about... I did it for years already, I am doing it again, and I will make damned sure I will not lose touch of either work nor home if I can help it.

The top requires more. It costs you everything. Those men sacrifice everything that matters just to succeed at that game.

It's nothing to aspire to. If you are working 60+ hours per week just to keep your kids under a roof and fed, then consider farming. I mean.. that's about the same work hours but at least you are right there with your kids.

Or go into small business somewhere. Choose a small town and open some kind of retail shop if that is your thing.

The corporate game is not really worth it for most people.

Once my son is old enough I'll play for the top game, but for now I'm happy being above the clouds.

Here it is right here. You can see that there is a person with a handheld flame thrower going at the people walking by, Preston sees it, issues a warning, charges the sidearm, then fires a single aimed shot.



Obvious politically motivated prosecution is obvious.

[Speaker to Animals]

The thing about shitheads like Jedi is that any violence in self-defense or defense of others is considered an attack, and any attack that precipitated that response was always justified and ignored. You cannot really have a discussion with a person like that. He's one of the aggressors who are out there attacking people, and then playing victim when people respond.

[Smitty-48]

Agreed.

[Speaker to Animals]

I mean.. who wants to get blasted in the face with a homemade flamethrower? Raise your hand.

The leftist pointed a flamethrower at people this guy cared about. He drew down on the guy, but even gave him a warning.

But you can see the leftist identity politic at play here. This guy was "KKK" so it's automatically a crime. James Fields was "Alt-Right", so fleeing an attack by armed terrorists is ignored, and he's automatically to blame for everything.

They think you are just guilty because of who you are, not because of any facts on the ground. And they never acknowledge the guilt of their communist comrades who started all this shit.

[Smitty-48]

The thing wasn't igniting, but the guy with the umbrella was in the spray, if it had ignited at that moment he would have been seriously injured, Preston appears to be coming to his defense, moreover, that aerosol can could have exploded at any moment seriously injuring many in the crowd, Preston was entirely justified in my estimation.

The police would have shot that guy, why not Preston?

[Smitty-48]

Theoretically, that shooting would be justified even under Canadian law, never mind under American NDTR
