compared to the US and its lefty open borders contingent? if they banned weapons in the USA the flow of armaments would just inverse in polarity and it would be Fentanil and assorted drugs PLUS weapons sold. Anoter Fast and Furious fiasco but in the US instead of Mexico.

Maybe he wanted to just knock him out as opposed to restrain him for an indeterminate amount of time?. Being so close to a Vagrant like Neely mustn't be very fun.

I know there’s this mythical class of people who would love to participate in productive society but their circumstances have done them wrong; if only they got the right social worker they could turn things around.
I blame Hollywood for that, people are too stupid to avoid being influenced by movies (Good Will Hunting et al). For another example we have the case of silencers in guns.

In the interview, he made threats against President Biden, saying that he had intended to "get to the White House, seize power, and be put in charge of the nation," the documents said.
per the rethoric I see of Jan 6th, I don't see anything unusual about this. Good thing he was stopped before he conquered america for the 3rd Reich Civilization style.

Most working class people won't go to AA universities, by definition elite unis must only comprise a small proportion of students, and most of those will be middle or upper-middle class
And as more and more racialized politics becomes the mainstream the less there will be any possibility for them to enter. Don't really see how voting for the party that wants them as second class citizens is in their interests.
This wasn't a statement about the advisability of the policy, just pointing out that it shouldn't really govern anyone's voting behavior (on either side as it happens but the discussion here was about working class Republicans)
What issue do you think should be more important to the working class white that would compel them to vote Blue?

Schools: The left wants teachers and schools to trans my kids.
Infrastructure in General/Public Services: The left defends dangerous hobos, one can't even defend himself from them or risk going to jail like with the Neely case.
Taxation (Total fiscal policy if you will): Fucking Biden, Inflation is eating me alive and his stooges in congress just want to spend more and make the situation worse (BTW Fuck McCArthy, useless piece of shit.).
Welfare State: I don't have anything for this one, but maybe can be linked with the taxation and inflation one.
I imagine those are more or less what they think when they contemplate the left's policies. Something more direct to them, like getting rejected from University or their kids being rejected while Jamal or Tyrone gets in with worse grades would be more important, as getting into a prestigious University (or their children doing it) in their minds, is equivalent to upward mobility and a way to avoid several of the disadvantages of being poor like the enumerated points above.

I would argue that they are unethical only if you subscribe to the notion of chained morality where you are partly responsible for the actions of those you establish (even if they are ephemeral) relationships with. I'm more of the faction that you aren't partially responsible for the actions of others even if you support them in other endeavors.

for my part, a lot of top level posts made by a user named Questionmark (or something like that) in the old site were very likely GPT made, at least to my eyes.

Not really, free will and all that. As you said it was the other person that took the action. To clarify, I'm not saying that the get away driver in a bank robbery is in the clear, as he is participating in the robbery, though in a support role; I'm saying that if the Neonazis buy another sawed off shotgun with part of the money of the collector, he is in the clear as he isn't a party in that.

In your opinion, does a person who sets unreasonable goals for being persuaded from a moral position still get treated as having full moral agency?
yes, as he is choosing not to accept any kind of counter argument opposed to his internal ethos. As you said he is being unreasonable, but at the end of the day he choose that.
In this sense, I imagine that any kind of support I provide is akin to pushing a button, and I hold some moral responsibility for the actions.
I disagree that you would hold any kind of responsibility, as there is no relationship that would implicate you with his actions (talking about buying the Hitlerian fuunko here). If you subscribe to free will, you have to give people their agency, that includes accepting that you don't control what they do or how they act. If you see it like Marx that the relationships established even by economic transactions makes you partially responsible for their actions, then there is no free will; just cogs in a machine.

and they could land their crafts in the White house and soldiers dressed as little green men (better use midgets for these ones, or north koreans) assasinate Biden and maybe Kamala Harris. Yeah, that would be a very chaotic situation.

However, If the US has had alien technology for decades and kept it a secret, this implies that the US has essentially sacrificed unbelievable amounts of economic and technological growth for the sake of... what, exactly? Preventing itself from having asymmetric warfare capabilities?!
that is of course if reverse engineering the technology is at all possible. It could be the case as described by Bob Lazar of Scientists of past centuries in possession of an atomic reactor.

that would be incredible risky, as from the get go you don't know how feasible to reverse engineer the technology is. Maybe after revealing it to the world a stroke of luck in a Chinese lab allows them to do what the US couldn't do in 80 years. That would put the west in a very bad situation.

I would assume they become the activist class, agitating for tearing down the system and instituting Marxism.
And they know the results of Anarcho-Tyranny as they come from so many similar places; doubtful they want their refuge to turn into the same as they knew.
