Posting for the first time this decade to say that I just mentioned dialectics in this manuscript I'm contributing to for a chemical engineering journal.

wow I wonder how all this took off so hugely starting in 2014? 

huh…wonder if there were any warning signs that funding neo-Nazis to the tune of a billion fucking dollars might tap into a pre-existing network of on-the-rise fascists across Euro-

Literally just don't talk to the cops if they arrest you, do not do not do not explain your side of the story, it doesn't matter what you say, you won't be calm, you won't have a clear head, you will fuck up and say something that can incriminate you. You have the right to plead the fifth amendment. even if you are innocent of a crime, because if it's something that could result in your conviction, you have the right to plead the fifth.

So if you're falsely accused, or guilty and you just don't want to go to jail, plead the fifth to the police. You talking means they can extrapolate whatever they want from you and leave out what they don't, and convict you. Any and every lawyer will tell you this. Some ex-cops will even tell you this

  It’s worth noting you do have to explicitly invoke your right to remain silent, because the legal system is horrible. If you don’t explicitly invoke your right to remain silent, your silence in response to questions can actually be cited in court of law as evidence of guilt.

    You generally shouldn’t talk to cops at all, but you general script here is “Am I under arrest/being detained?”. If they answer yes, you have to say “I’m invoking my right to a publicly provided lawyer, and my right to remain silent.” (something similar to that, but try to keep it relatively formal, cops have argued before that incorrect phrasing means the right didn’t apply. See the “lawyer dog” case). And then you have to remain silent. If you talk at all, you’ve waived your right to remain silent, and you must reinvoke it when you’re done talking for it to apply. Cops are sneaky bastards and will try to get you to talk with friendly conversation or small things, don’t fall for it. If necessary, repeat “I have invoked my right to remain silent”. If you’ve invoked your right against self-incrimination, cops are not legally allowed to use your silence as evidence or suggestion of guilt in a court of law, and your publicly provided lawyer will know this. Also, no matter how under-funded and shit public lawyers can be, you do want yours.

    It’s worth noting that the right to remain silent and the fifth are kind of distinct in practice. Your right to remain silent/non-incrimination applies in police custody. As a further note to that, cops will often ask questions to people not in custody specifically so they don’t have to deal with those rights- the correct answer to this is to not talk to cops. Never talk to a cop unless you’re detained, and then only to invoke your right to silence. The Fifth is invoked in court, and is the right to refuse to testify during your own trial. It’s invoked unconditionally- if you refuse to testify against yourself, you can’t testify for yourself. You can’t be a witness at all. If you testify for yourself, the prosecution can ask you whatever they want, and you do have to answer.

   TLDR: America’s legal system is full of weird loopholes because cops are tricky bastards that can and will argue any absurd thing if it means they can put more people in prison. Don’t get tripped up by them.

I linked this yesterday, it's a great little discussion by a lawyer and an actual (ex?)cop basically saying you should never talk to cops.

the bleeding pie, the eyeball and fingers on the blind man’s plate…

I was trying to find something nobody else had seen yet, when I realized…

Look right above the tentacle arm. The second man at the buffet, what the hell is he doing? He’s either throwing up or eating an octopus.

Scariest detail: this image was ripped from the creator’s site and vandalized (edited to remove the watermark), then reuploaded for viral fame without so much as a mention of the artist’s name. SOURCE: http://jeffleejohnson.deviantart.com/art/Blue-Plate-Special-661961724 That said, the earlier observation about milk being $15 is off - artist confirms this is based on a 1920’s diner, so the price would be in cents. (http://comments.deviantart.com/1/661961724/4375070065) The table under the journal is lacquered with ants. The person holding the skull-creamed coffee paints the underside of their nails. Either that or their natural nails grow red. The journal’s writing, intentionally made hard to read and partially obscured, is somewhat of a cheat to all the things amiss in the scene. (http://comments.deviantart.com/1/661961724/4372574544) I can make out: “… and eyeball … have to think he is less strange than the horrifying creature that seems to have inhabited the cabinet behind him … all tentacles and teeth … (obscured by cup) … Where in the world can be found such nightmares?!”

Reblogging for the correct source (I didn’t even notice the OP wasn’t the artist oops).

There’s a second one, and there’s even more in this

Kent State University

“The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]

“There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]

Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lol

Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…

Another picture from Kent State.

But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.

Btw half of the students killed at Kent State weren’t even protesting, they were just there

Welcome to America. If you want to learn some actual history, then research it yourself
