What are your opinions?

CHAZ is mostly Seattle Street People making art, discussing politics and they are trespassers not terrorists. Some are artists and street vendors, and some are drug addicts and many other things. They don't have one mind and one agenda.

No opinion. Never been there. Never plan to go. Could care less.

Flags are symbolic sheets of cloth often made in China. The colors on them and the meaning can be personal. This goes for both flag debates.

Flags remind me of violence for some strange reason. Maybe because they play such a big part in wars.

Statues are works of art and can also mean different things to different people. We don't learn or change history looking at art. We might be able to understand the artists perspective. History will not die with or without them.

In my travels and museum visits in my wasted youth the only statue to actually move me was the Jockey of Artemision in the Athen's Museum. History definitely will not die without them yet narratives in history can be shaped by them.

I choose to not hate groups of people based on skin color, sexual orientation, jobs or country of origin, make your own choices, silencing people doesn't change hearts and minds.

The one group that is an exception to that rule at the moment, for me, is the V.22.2 Cabal whose vindictive greedy nature can sometimes affect me on the physical level. Can never forgive them for sending the STEEM community asunder.

The billionaires are winning while some of you fight to the death in the streets.

It's not clear to me what you think they are winning. Would it be desirable for me to change places with Bill Gates? Not his lifestyle, possessions and wealth but become him hook line and sinker. Nope. He can keep his billionaire self.

Masks are dirty and suffocating, I will wear them only when and where I am specifically asked to. The curve will not change either way, only the timeline. I am certainly not going to fight with my friends about it or tell you what to do.

Medical masks being used for covid are my signal that the person who has it on is an unwoken sheeple. Force would be required to get me to wear one and presently my housemate is a proverbial canary in a coal mine; my 96 year old Mother.

Now an anonymous mask is another story. When protesting in the Confederation of Canuckistan against the Anti-Terrorist Act, Bill C-51 back in 2015 they did not want us to wear masks. Now they do. Seems all very subjective to me and shows how silly central authority can be.

It is not more dangerous to support a small business than it is to protest. Both things are valuable, American and important to all of us.

Depends what kind of business it is.

A spike in positive cases is not the same as a huge second wave of Covid. Please see the data, factor in testing.

Yeah it was a nasty flu especially for the aged or those with pre-existing conditions, yet here in the Confederation of Canuckistan we have crossed the 8000 milestone of covid related deaths. In the 2018 flu season we lost slightly less than 7000. In a 30+ million population the difference statistically would not even rate as a blip. Can't remember a news article about the 2018 flu, though there was likely one or two out there somewhere so don't call me a lair.

Your post telling me what I need to do in order to not be "blocked or unfriended" annoys the shit out of me.

That is probably the intention of such posts. They are passive aggressively written to individuals and not the general public as one might be led to believe. Mine was anyway.

It's my belief that a huge number of people are being manipulated by a number of different points of view to further other people's agenda.

It only takes one dog to direct a herd of sheep. If more than one dog are not acting in tandem they will end up with a seriously disorganised herd.

All of these topics can be interesting to discuss, but hardly anyone wants to be told what to think.

Statues don't interest me much and unless we are talking about the Jockey of Artemision please leave me out of it.
