You spend too much time on the internet.
- DangitBobby 9mo agoI see you all over these comments. People were denying it would get as bad as it has already gotten.
- kreetx 9mo agoI'm here indeed. How bad is it, objectively?
- lateforwork 9mo agoAsk the people who are dying on the streets.
- kreetx 9mo agoThese people wouldn't be dying if they weren't out there picking a fight with the officers.
- lateforwork 9mo agoRight, it is far better to let them roll us over with no protests.

- lateforwork 9mo agoThey are demanding "show me your papers" to citizens, often chasing, arresting and jailing them for being brown, and turning the US into a police state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6UWUXkzQVA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6UWUXkzQVA

- lateforwork 9mo agoBecause they are Americans? Under the Fourth Amendment, police cannot demand ID from a pedestrian for no reason. Other constitution violations include 1st amendment (Rümeysa Öztürk), ICE memo allowing officers to enter homes without a judicial warrant (violation of 4th), denying due process (Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments), etc.

- lateforwork 9mo agoDoesn't matter. You can't suspend constitutional protections when they are inconvenient. And it isn't just violations of the constitution, it is also destroying our relationships with European allies, destroying the planet by ignoring climate change, destroying the environment, destroying our health, destroying American competitiveness by defunding research, destroying consumer protections, etc. And what you were asking, did you ask how bad it is, objectively?
- kreetx 9mo agoNot sure constitution works like that, that a suspicious person can simply run and you can't check ID. The opinion to allow visa holders as the Turkish person to exercise political activism is funny, too. Don't you think it's the citizens who the country should look after? Europe is confused, but is finally coming around to understanding that they need to be able to protect themselves. Let's hope we make it on time :). You can't really turn around climate without China and India. You may try to cripple yourself to attempt it though, but you'll lose even harder then. I can also tell you that I've seen public funding on various science projects in EU. While it's convenient for the scientists to live off of these projects, then rarely if ever does much or any value come out of it. No companies nor products. Most of the "digital product" is provided to us by US companies, we don't come even close to having anything like it. EU leaders also somehow think that economic development is a matter of their "decision", but as career public servants they have little to no private experience, and just run public funds in "social circuits" that don't produce much. Objectively.
- lateforwork 9mo agoRight. Meanwhile the military is preparing to deploy... not to the middle east, but to Minnesota. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/us/politics/military-police-alert-minneapolis.html https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/us/politics/military-poli...
