Instead of being a death notice it’s a pre-death notice, if you will. He has been moved to a longer-care facility, wherever that may be, and his handlers don’t want to deal with the rightful backlash of the rest of us knowing the truth.

He was probably braindead on arrival IMO. Kinda both legally dead but also you can drag out the official date for ages

It would also explain why the videos of the ambulance looked so unhurried and why his wife immediately left to visit China

Counterpoint - that’s ineffective messaging. It doesn’t win over people not already on board

Instead, if you focus on concrete material conditions, like affordability and healthcare, nearly everyone agrees. Or in the case of flock, you roll it in with datacenters and the AI bubble in general

Winning under a banner of socialism is impractical, but socialist policies are rapidly rising in popularity across the board. If it goes down easier calling it progressivism, who cares? I just want good things

You’re supposed to admit to your actions openly for civil disobedience. It gives you standing to challenge and opportunity to drag things to light. Even now, everyone being tried for this creates headlines that unattributed destruction does not

At higher levels, it can also clog the justice system and make it expensive to continue targeted policies

Without all that, it’s just property destruction. Flock could probably have examples made of people caught (seeing as somehow they seem able to sidestep the law), but that frames the issue in a better way for flock

Taking the justice system head on is just a much more effective method of forcing change… Granted at a personal cost, although getting caught by the big brother machines themselves seems likely

Or it could be for political advantage…I mean, the cameras are wildly unpopular and badasses who cut (or shoot) through red tape are very much currently in style

Maybe start growing your own?

Food production is basically just a handful of monopolies at this point, your area is probably either supplied by Taylor or not

Reconstruction was ended too early, in large part because of the Lincoln assassination, and the very questionable choice to appease the South by putting Andrew Johnson a heartbeat away from the presidency

We definitely should have been draconian in punishing the south, but our greatest mistake is civility politics. The leaders were all in the same social circles, and to this day that’s a recurring problem that plagues most democracies. They didn’t want real consequences for their buddies

So all in all, we didn’t strip enough power from the leadership and stopped punishment way earlier than even the overly light-handed plan in place

In fairness, neither do Democrats. Or at least they’re not releasing the report

I think it’s more that they see the writing on the wall… The people want consequences. There’s likely to be trials

They really haven’t… at least not if by shitty you mean incompetent

He hasn’t stabilized his rule. The maga coalition is falling apart all on it’s own

Will Trump wiggle out of real consequences? Probably. There will definitely be election fuckery.

But the maga coalition failed to grab the crown, and does not hold the keys to power. That’s even more important for a dictator, because they don’t have the legitimacy democracy grants leaders

Do you even know what you’re trying to say? Because I sure as hell have no idea what your positions are, you haven’t made them. I made mine, and if you could read you’d probably agree with them

Also I do know you’re using two accounts, because the votes are too even and no second person on earth has any idea what you’re on about

Are you stupid? Russia lost because they kicked a snowball that turned out to be a rock.

Russia failed because they mistook a hard target for a soft one and let their military be rotted by corruption… Their plan looked fine on paper

I don’t know what the fuck you read, but it wasn’t my post

Is it as concentrated as it appears? It’s basic art of war stuff, appear weak where you are strong and strong where you’re weak

The island is basically a bomb. It’s an enormous oil depot, with millions of barrels, not processing. It would hurt Iranian exports for sure, but if they’re not idiots they’d have contingencies so they could spend the island strategically

Russia failed because they mistook a hard target for a soft one and let their military be rotted by corruption… Their plan looked fine on paper

No, they have massive storage in one ityy bitty island that could very easily be turned into a huge ecological disaster

Iran has been planning this war for decades… They’d have to be total fools to think it wouldn’t be a target. And if you know where the enemy will strike and all that

A system is what it does and all that

The saddest thing about bribery is how cheap it is

The dem party leaders have complained about how this war was started, haven’t heard much actual opposition to the war itself from them

They probably wouldn’t have been so sloppy, but the messaging I heard was they would have backed up Israel unconditionally

They shackle the victims already, I could see them putting on sensory deprivation helmets and living it up on the flights

Yes. Everything is monitored, and it sucks. We’ve internalized it even, you can’t so much as have a hobby without dumping money into it to signal you take it seriously

They’re not religious, they’re rich demons who love to find fresh ways to destroy the country
