โ€œProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this oneโ€ฆโ€

Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "I mean -- c'mon. We're still pretending that ICE is going after dangerous people? They aren't. What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is teargassing elementary schools, it is disappearing legal residents into cars, it is murdering American citizens."

Absolutely! but social dominance theory applies to any civilization that has achieved a surplus of resources. Doesnโ€™t apply to hunter-gatherer groups at a subsistence level. Personally, Iโ€™d love to know what 200k old civilizations looked like!

Red brain, blue brain: evaluative processes differ in Democrats and Republicans - PubMed Liberals and conservatives exhibit different cognitive styles and converging lines of evidence suggest that biology influences differences in their political attitudes and beliefs.

I read the paper on Trypilla, I love archeology! While the authors posit there was no wealth inequality, the leap to no social hierarchy and political egalitarianism is an assumption. The oldest hierarchy is patriarchy.

Below is one article, but there is also research on authoritarians.

Iโ€™d like to read the article, but itโ€™s pay walled. I do know that right wing authoritarians have a different brain structure, but itโ€™s unknown if this is innate or environmental. I mentioned social dominance theory b/c all human civilizations have been hierarchical. Humans tend to accept this.

So itโ€™s ok for ICE to smash cars while arresting innocent people and killing citizens, but a protester is โ€œviolentโ€ cause he kicked a tail light?
Thatโ€™s a sociopathโ€™s moral equivalence.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."
