Sometimes I worry that my political beliefs end potential relationships before they begin, but then I remember that that door shuts before politics come up in conversation ~

The results are in, Greece’s anti-austerity Syriza party officially wins parliamentary elections with 35.11%. Syriza translates to “coalition of the radical left” and these folks are intent on living up to their name. I’m not talking about free market social justice warriors, or big government Republicans, I’m talking about self described Marxists and Trotskyites.
Teen Walks Into Police Station, Police Say They Were ‘Forced’ To Shoot and Kill Her Minutes Later
A 17-year-old girl walked into the Longview, Texas police station. Then, only minutes later, police say they were “forced” to shoot and kill her, Thursday night.
The girl, Kristiana Cognard, walked into the empty lobby and approached the after-hours assistance phone.
“We don’t know how she got here,” Longview police officer Kristie Brian said.
Coignard was connected to dispatch, via the after-hours phone. Dispatch then sent officers out to confront her. But no one knows exactly what was said then.
Police, however, say that she “pulled a weapon” and “threatened” them.
We asked what weapon she brandished.
“I don’t know what kind it was, yes she did brandish a weapon,” Officer Brian said on Friday.
The teenage girl was pronounced dead by a justice of the peace after being taken to a local hospital.
Three officers were placed on administrative leave
(aka “paid vacation”)
shortly after this incident. We will update you as we receive more information about this case.
History shows we should doubt the “official” police story, particularly when answers offered are blatantly lacking in credibility such as “we don’t know what kind [of weapon] it was.” And are we expected to believe that the police station has no cameras? And that the lobby phone calls to dispatch aren’t recorded? Who doubts that video/audio footage that would exonerate the cops would be released immediately?
Actually, one wonders why they even bother covering things up. Time and time again damning video evidence of police impropriety has led to zero actual consequences for those involved. Police can assault and kill with relative impunity, safe in the comfort that taxpayers will foot the bill.
Sounds like a hitman

Hullo ancap liberty please to meet you, I was hoping to get your opinion on the anarchist school of thought "national anarchism"
To me, it seems they want a state while hating the state. Telling people what they should do with their lives; not living in urban areas and capitalism is against natural order. Thankfully the article said that your free to leave their society and to find a new one, implying that they don’t kill or cage you for being different from them. They also openly accept hierarchy which anarchism is against so their ideology is incompatibly with anarchism. Voluntaryist opposes the hierarchical oppression of the state, not embrace it as natural order. As so as they claim they want a natural order society what if the occupants decide to trade with other organizations,communes, or companies? When their society lacks resources will they trade with others who oppose their values or will they just accept a lack of material goods.
The society of National Anarchism is too authoritarian for me but I do like how Statist recognize that they can still have a statist society without a massive state forcing everyone within its boundaries to obey its “social contract.”
