It’s been so great the last 10 years saying “this is what will be happening because the neo-nazis are taking over” and everyone telling me I’m overreacting, I’m being hyperbolic, I’m exaggerating or my favorite “you’re just being dramatic”

Remember, THERE’S NO WAY they’d overturn Roe v Wade.

“Reason: advocating violence”

I see no advocation for violence, just the truth about people who need to be removed from power.

And I absolutely LOVE the implied “you can complain about all violence toward you but don’t you DARE even suggest doing the same thing that’s being done to you”

Yes masters, we should all die quietly.

This is posted on (dot) world, which is basically reddit but slightly left of center.

In other words, mods will remove anything that maybe might be construed in a way that messes with the status quo of the rich and polititicians stomping their boot down on those they deem below them.

Whether mods agree with my phrasing or not, that’s what’s happening. I’m sure they’d prefer to frame it as “making sure our community doesn’t get taken down by The Man”

somewhere, a criminal: Oh man, you mean all I have to do is take my license plate off, dress like a tacticool office worker, put on a mask and I’m just allowed to kidnap people??? SCORE!!!

Unless you have knowledge and possibly evidence that politicians, world leaders, movie stars, and pretty much every ceo is into children and human trafficking as long as it’s on a private island.

Then you might just experience the craziest set of coincidences!

The “I’m doing the thing you’re doing but throwing it back at you” and “thanks or whatever” definitely is.

They’re being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.

Getting defensive isn’t necessary.

the “optimal” economic path during climate change

The optimal solution is to spend as much as you can into preventing climate change, because a dead planet has no economy. No customers = no income, no profit, no business.

But that requires looking past the next quarter.

Also I’m convinced economics “professionals” have all figured out that the whole system is bullshit that gets made up on a day to day basis by people who inherited their wealth, and just want to gift along with it. “I know it’s bullshit but they’re giving me money, so…”

The only things that assume infinite growth are viruses and parasites.

crazy journalistic cowardice

That’s all we’ve been seeing since the first time Ajent Ornj was in office.

And now that they know he has no problem arresting journalists who he doesn’t like, it’s even worse.

All the people in charge who could do something about it are showing they are excellent at two things: placating the masses, and kissing a dictators ass.

Too many normal people are just barely making it by and don’t want to lose what little they have by taking a stand, especially when they might be standing alone.

Can we just tow them both beyond the environment?

I’d happily climb any of the 1000ft “peaks” around me over telling everyone how much money I spent to be here while slowly moving in line up to the top of what is now basically a trash dump.

that feed us false hope

Boy do we have different bubbles…

Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don’t think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.

I’ll be honest, they fucked this game over hard in my opinion.

It really does feel like they separated everyone into teams, and none of the teams spoke to each other once. They all just delivered their chunk of the game without connecting pieces together.

Base building was a nightmare, and that’s the primary reason I downloaded it in the first place.

Then I finished the main quest and spoilers ahead for anyone who cares

Kind of killed literally every desire I had to play the game. Especially when they patched the easily accessed chests that at least gave me a shortcut to some things.

I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of “hey you aren’t allowed to talk about that” or “you violated a mysterious rule sometime”

I will preface this by saying I don’t believe for a second the US was ignorant of the intent to attack.

In fairness, if one of your allies that you’ve been giving tons of weapons to suddenly decides to attack its neighbor one day, especially when both countries have nuclear capabilities, you can bet your ass the people in charge of militaries all over the world will be watching just in case shit hits the fan.

For instance if France went insane and attacked England, you can be assured all of the EU defense departments (let’s pretend their defensive treaties aren’t in place) will be watching it like a hawk the moment it starts.

Again, I believe the US government had full foreknowledge and would have given its blessing for the attack if Israel cared to wait for it. They definitely shared Intel that made it happen.

I’ll be honest, I don’t believe that Israel waited for a “green light” from the US for a second. I don’t believe they even bothered to check in the first place.

It doesn’t matter because republicans will green light anything Israel wants to do as long as it doesn’t hurt their bank account. They gave carte Blanche a long time ago.

All of this is a distraction, from both the US and Israel, for different things. Don’t get distracted in trying to point fingers and play the blame game. All players here suck ass for different reasons, with the ones attacking and backing being top of the list.

Nobody asked or gave permission because the answer was always going to be “do whatever you want”

If their proof of citizenship is their ID, remind them that people make their entire living off selling fake or altered ID cards.

Sorry, your drivers license isn’t good enough, you’re going to the concentration camps.

I’m just gonna keep posting this any time I see the military acting as a police force.

There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.
