      I just want the courts or congress or whatever to officially admit that, I’m sick of the pretense of checks and balances

    Once everyone is convinced that laws are meaningless shit will spiral out of control. Like whose authority would I recognize over my own at this point?

    If masked thugs show up at my door they getting shot, I’m not taking their word for who they claim to be.

    And even if they are who they say they are, I will not comply with what I perceive to be illegal orders that I have no good faith that I’d be able to argue in a fair court of law, and even if I were convinced of that…

    WHAT DOES EVEN WINNING IN COURT MEAN IF COURTS ARE IGNORED?

      You lost leadership of the Western developed world.

      How weak are you?

      You are now aligned with the undeveloped.

        Wow aren’t you desperate for attention.

        Nobody should have control. Sadly the UN won’t step up

        I can guarantee you that letting China take the US’s place as the boot on the neck of the world will be just as shit.

          Meh, China’s influence in Africa has been orders of magnitude more benevolent than the US’s historical actions. I don’t think there should be any global superpowers, but if there has to be one, I’d rather have a socialist-aligned country than a capitalist one on top.

            This was a perfectly reasonable post that should not have been removed. Lemmy is as bad as truth social. Just a different reality is all.

            What you think is different, but the way you think and how you protect and nurture those beliefs - which is more important - is exactly the same.

    It’s okay guys, I’m sure that if you go outside and walk some more with some especially passive-aggressive signs the regime will realize their wrongdoings.
