I’m concerned that it wouldn’t back up the parade at all. Reboots and remakes of 80s shit has been the trend for a long time, so it’s not far-fetched to think we might see a new, American “Tank Man” scenario. It’s not what I want to see, but I didn’t want to see people getting disappeared away to concentration camps either. But fucking here we are.
Lafayette Square Massacre. Rated NC17. Coming this Summer.
To quote a genius billionaire regarding a time of immense hardship due to receiving abrupt bad news,
“CHAINSAW! YaAaAgHhH!”
I’m sure that somebody’s heart goes out to him. He seems to have quite a bit of the Nat-C party standing behind him.
“… signals prophecy signaling…”
Stay in school, kids. Don’t be a dumbass middle school dropout like Tim Pool. Stupid fuck even called his show “Timcast”. Dude, “Poolcast” was right there, not that it’s much better. The loser is like 40 but never learned or matured past 14.
Even if you were to believe that he weren’t technically guilty of treason when he incited an insurrection, it was legally decided by a judge that he had, in fact, engaged in insurrection against the US. Section 3 of the 14th amendment explicitly states that he shouldn’t have been eligible to run for office. Him being president at all is in violation of the Constitution.
I don’t think we should normalize misgendering somebody as an insult. He’s a fascist, not a woman or trans person.
Do both. An armed community can defend itself. Protect your neighbors. Fascists will be less likely to use their guns on you if your community has guns to fire back with. Build your community and then be able to defend it.
Yep. My immediate thought after reading this headline was of the couple times he looked like he was gonna cry because people were celebrating the downfall of Tesla and the time he was streaming PoE2 and got bullied enough that he pretended to lag out and ragequit.
He’s truly a net negative contribution to the species, and he furthers that status with every breath. Maybe there could be some argument that putting money into stuff pushed companies to adopt new, greener technologies in order to compete, but his pro fascism agenda has completely negated any praises I might have ever sung. And I think he’s too deep to ever reverse course.
We know that he salutes like Hitler. Let’s all hope that he does that other thing like Hitler did that one time in late April of 1945. Epic memes ftw for the edgy memelord mastermind if he does it on the same day. 360 skibidi no scope rizz king shit.
Everybody needs to arm themselves and learn how to shoot. Now. While it’s still possible to. If they’re not gonna follow the Constitution, then you’re no longer guaranteed your day in court to seek justice, so there’s no longer any reason to “come quietly”. If your sentence is to be death anyway, then violent resistance may be the only route to deter cops from continuing to violate their oath and kidnapping/murdering other innocents. Do it for them.
Most cops are like black bears. They’ll rush you and try to intimidate you into doing what they want, but if you make it clear that they’re gonna get hurt or killed if they try, they’ll tuck tail and run. They’re cowards cosplaying as tough guys. Make them ask themselves whether this is worth maybe not getting home to their families over. Give them nightmares. Terrorism is attacking them where they peacefully are; I’m just saying to terrorize from within your own home to scare them off. They might come back with SWAT, but make them burn those resources all the same. They don’t have infinite equipment and enforcers, and they’ll ration it all well before getting low. They’ll have riots to quell, so they can’t put too many resources into every little kidnapping.
As John Lewis said, “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and redeem the soul of America.”
You okay? Did something happen to you?
What are you talking about? Who has a secretary and is thinking of marrying them?
My spouse and I depend on each other. We’re a team. We’re coequal partners. I think it’s insane not to see marriage that way. We each are individually strong, but even stronger together. Making money isn’t the only thing that can be done to support the family.
This. I would love it if my wife had the option to stay home. We’re luckier than most, so she probably could, but our budget would be uncomfortably tight if she did. And actually, if she made as much as I do, it’d probably be me staying home and doing the cooking and cleaning and errands. I love that shit and hate work, and the excessive hours I work keep me from helping around the house as much as I would like.
And I respect the hell out of that.
And on top of that, there is a baseline cost to existing. Even basic shelter and average supplies would eat up a significant chunk of $50k. Spending $20M on a mansion and premium supplies is a drop in the bucket for somebody like Musk, yet that’s literally not something most of us would even dream of having because we could think of much better uses for $20M than just having upgraded shit with such diminishing returns for its cost.
For those in the back, this is also why it would be fucking stupid for a working class person to advocate for replacing income tax with increased sales tax. The wealthy don’t spend their money like you do, so they’re keeping even more of their hoards if they can successfully trick enough people into eradicating their income tax bill.
Lol what? Idk what “news” story you’re referencing, but it’s entirely irrelevant here. Wildly pivoting to an entirely different topic like this is irrefutable proof that you’re wrong, have realized you’re wrong, and refuse to confront and admit that you’re wrong. This thread is also old now, so nobody is even following this anymore anyway. As such, any further engagement would be a total waste of my time, so I’m out.
Good luck figuring shit out. I don’t need to convince you; the future will do that for me.
Lol okay, keep not understanding. You aren’t putting together that rescinding rights guaranteed to people means that all you need to do is claim that somebody is in that group that doesn’t get rights and they no longer have rights to things like a trial. I could literally just call you an illegal immigrant and you’d never get the opportunity to prove otherwise because you wouldn’t have the right to anymore.
As for the “ILLEGAL immigrants” thing, there’s a difference between civil offenses and criminal offenses. If you don’t even know that, then idk where you get off thinking you get to lecture anybody about how laws work. I’m sorry to say that you’re just flat out fucking wrong about this. Quit parroting what partisan media is spoon-feeding to you and look shit up for yourself. They benefit by convincing you to accept the bullshit that they’re selling. Be more skeptical. Any time you see something on media, ask yourself who is benefiting from the message they’re sending out.
Step 1: proclaim that immigrants no longer have rights.
Step 2: accuse person(s) you don’t like of being an immigrant.
Step 3: because immigrants don’t have rights, due process is not given.
Step 4: accuse person(s) of literally anything you feel like and order whatever sentence you decide is appropriate since an accusation is now also a conviction.
Are you getting it yet? Or will it have to target you specifically before you give a shit?
Dude was stunned that his adult son knew how to turn his computer back on after he turned it off. He’s too clueless to even know to be impressed by what half of lemmy users can do with tech lol.
If simple vandalism is punished so harshly, may as well go all in and torch the fucking things. There’s really no reason to stop at keying or painting anymore. Cosmetic damage is being punished as though they’re being rendered completely useless.
And edgelord baby billionaire should be happy since people will have to buy new cars, and surely his cars are gonna be their first choice, right?
People claim to support the Constitution and then say dumb shit like this. Try reading it. It’s not very long. It very clearly spells out that everybody in the country has rights, and that one of this rights is the right to peacefully protest. You’re even exercising that same right by arguing that they shouldn’t have these rights. But they do. And the second you try to take that away from them, what’s to stop a dictator on the other side from deciding that you don’t deserve the right to disagree with your government anymore, and so cops will be authorized to break into your home and kidnap you and deport you to a country you’ve never been to.
Any argument you have about how that isn’t the same thing is just going to cement how xenophobic and racist you are, so instead of bothering to reply, just sit with your thoughts and figure out what you can do differently moving forward to develop some amount of empathy and critical thinking skills to not advocate for things to get shitty for everybody in the long term. It’s possible to grow and improve, and I’m rooting for you.
Yep. “Now that you don’t pay taxes, your boss can pay you less and you’ll still have higher net pay.”
It’s all for the oligarchs. They don’t give a shit about the people.
