  • I think we kinda misunderstand what the other person is saying/what they imagine the outcome to be. There’s a crass culture difference here.

    In the UK (and presumably most other European countries) the police would 100% escalate things if they see someone with a gun near a large aggregation of people. Carrying guns like that is simply illegal and the only reasonable deduction is that you carry a gun because you want to use it - i.e. you are about to commit murder.

    Police violence against protesters is usually limited to water cannons and tear gas, maybe rubber bullets. Protester violence is rare, sometimes throwing rocks, maybe Molotov cocktails and burning cars.

    It’s funny because the (far) left vilifies the police and then goes all surprised Pikachu when they turn out to not be manned by far left people.

    Idealism in all honor, but you’re not gonna change the system without being in control of the current power structures.











  • I meant that more general than the US military. It certainly applies in Germany for example, which is much less involved in wars around the world.

    But even if you want to restrict your view: Yes, even the US military complex could do with some left leaning people in positions of power. Who is advising the White House on where to send its military? Some random communist literature student or the military (with heavy commentary from oil and gas industry leaders?



  • This is exactly the source of the problem.
    If all leftist cops quit, the police will obviously have a right bias. You should encourage people who agree with your ideology to join institutions that have power.

    Same with the military. Why is there a disproportionate number of nut jobs in the military? Well, part of the reason is certainly because leftist social circles straight up bully anyone in their own ranks who would consider joining. edit: this applies e.g. In Germany much more than in the US. I crossed it out to avoid getting criticized by the us defaultism crowd.

    A basic image is really easy. It’s basically just

    Dockerfile

    FROM debian  # start with a minimal Linux system. There are probably better options than debian. Some images are made especially for docker (i.e. very minimal and light weight). 
    RUN apt install dependencies  # do what ever you need to get your app running. 
    RUN echo "options and stuff" >> /etc/a/config/file  # you can also edit system files
    COPY . /app  # copy your project into the docker container.
    EXPOSE 8080  # doesn't actually do anything, but documents where the app will be listening
    CMD server-binary run /app/main.php  # I have actually no idea how php server stuff works
    

    (Docs https://docs.docker.com/reference/dockerfile/)

    Then people can run your project with docker.

    Edit: checking the readme some small changes would be required. Config.php should read in environment variables and the DB init SQL should be run automatically somehow.
