Was reading up on this, some people are monsters when left to their own free will, it would be handy to have some way to identify the people who are most likely to be savages and lock them away pre-emptively

anyone that tortures small animals for example should probably just be taken outback and shot



https://www.theartstory.org/artist/abramovic-marina/artworks/
With a description reading "I am the object," and, "During this period I take full responsibility," Abramović invited spectators to use any of 72 objects on her body in any way they desired, completely giving up control. Rhythm 0 was exemplary of Abramović's belief that confronting physical pain and exhaustion was important in making a person completely present and aware of his or her self. This work also reflected her interest in performance art as a way to transform both the performer and the audience. She wanted spectators to become collaborators, rather than passive observers. Here, they physically directed the actions, while in other performances, Abramović involved the audience through a dynamic exchange of energy. In Rhythm 0, the audience divided itself into those who sought to harm Abramović (holding the loaded gun to her head) and those who tried to protect her (wiping away her tears). Ultimately, after she stood motionless for six hours, the protective audience members insisted the performance be stopped, seeing that others were becoming increasingly violent.

72 objects including a feather, pen, book, saw, honey, band-aid, salt, rose, gun, bullet, paint, whip, coat and scissors


....


As Abramović described it later: "What I learned was that ... if you leave it up to the audience, they can kill you ... I felt really violated: they cut up my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the audience. Everyone ran away, to escape an actual confrontation."[8]

When the gallery announced the work was over, and Abramović began to move again, she said the audience left, unable to face her as a person.[9]

In order for a society to survive in the long term, the laws need to be set up in a way that rewards the productive people and punishes the troublesome people.

Our "modern tolerant" societies do the opposite.

Agreed. The most productive people are saddled with educational debt and paid very little while the pencil pushers can sometimes get billions of dollars. Jessie Ventura recently did an interview where he talked about working on a jack hammer making barely above minimum wage yet it was the hardest job of his life.

Trump raised salaries by 10%. Biden is going to collapse them by 25%.

Some things work. Other things don't.

You mean Obama raised salaries by 10%, since Trump did virtually nothing but ride on Obama's numbers.

Trump flubbed our pandemic response and kept us closed all summer when we could have had a good economy.

Biden canceled the Keystone pipeline on day one.

It will end 1 million jobs and raise poverty by a noticeable amount. Each 1% increase in poverty causes tens of thousands of more deaths per year.

All because Warren Buffet donated to Biden's campaign and has invested billion in oil transportation trains and trucks. The pipeline is safer and cleaner than the alternatives. Even woke Canada is pissed off.

man you cant think for yourself even for like 5 minutes.

please explain how building a pipeline will take 1 million people?
then how after it is built how will it take 1 million to maintain it. 1 per .5 miles on both sides standing?
please explain. You know the oil is Canada's right? Owned by the bank of Canada?
than stopping oil moving from Can to the gulf will increase nationwide poverty how?

At least 10000 jobs will be lost directly related to the pipeline. The support infrastructure is probably closer to 30000.

The price of oil changes based on where you dig for it. One reason why middle eastern oil is cheaper is because you dont have stupid Karens complaining and creating regulations stymying safe fracking in Saudi Arabia. Canadian oil is cheaper obviously if right now we are shipping it here from Canadia.
