Who's done with it? The right? because no one loves identity politics more than them. Every single word that comes out of trumps mouth is about someones identity.

I didn't say that at all, I was responding to a commenter talking about their particular friends, who they claimed weren't voting on shallow premises, when the examples they provided were absolutely as shallow as they were trying

I don't know, but I doubt it, and what you're stating is essentially the opposite, fossil fuels are far more energy dense than any other form of energy, you can't run long haul diesel trucks on batteries, not without an insan

I know about that, can you explain how that corruption actually makes the US not free to decide not to support Israel? I'll repeat. The US is free and not beholden to israel. They could decide tomorrow to stop support, they won't,

I agree, except we're more like 80 years into elites calling everyone else stupid. Your first sentence is based, if you can't see how following a couple of simple talking points like "herp derp gas is to spensive" isn&#x

One thing for sure, is you're part of the zionist brigade (you're easy to spot from a mile away, showing up in every comment thread to blatently support zionism). Any US President, by design, can go against israel, because the US

Good for them, anyone can see that trump isn't just going to give the zionists everything they want and make it far worse. It's not like he's said as such or anything, and they could have known beforehand.

Noway JD has the charisma to pull that off, trump would have to carry out the coup and cement it before another could continue.

Not wanting gas to be expensive, without knowing literally anything about why gas might cost more, is about as surface level as you can get. What happened with covid? Trump was a complete clown, but they still support him? Sounds again, ver

They have managed to have themselves perceived as anti-war, which is an obvious untruth.

The parallels with fascism are frightening. We're 8 years down a path of followers being endeared with trumpet, hard to walk that back now and admit mistake. What you're talking about is already happening. Every fourth or fifth co

Search the news for mothers and their babies dying because doctors in states which have enacted abortion bans refuse treatment. That's what happens. Rove vs Wade was overturned because of a right wing stacked supreme court, which has n

Doctors aren't doing that though, they're saying they won't touch people in case they are seen to be breaking laws, and people are already dying, how can you not understand the nuance?

Let's hope we never have to find out, but so many people captivated by a conman while simultaneously crying about everyone else's position is a recipe for abuse. Separating children from parents at the border, reverting hard fough

I have never had anyone tell me as a white male that I should be ashamed of myself, not least from the left. What I have been recently is very impressed by female talent in all sorts of industries, which makes me ponder how much we've

As someone in a small but wealthy western nation, the US elections are far more important than our own. We can't destroy the world, they can.

The world needs to build over 400 nuclear plants starting right now to replace fossil fuel energy needs, even with about a 33% reduction in global energy consumption. That means a new plant starting up every 3 days. Any slower and it's

You'll be waiting a long while, unmarried white women are too busy having their body autonomy taken away. Poor men.

Did that really happen though? or did the right just amplify those messages because they're very effective to campaign on? and now everyone just repeats them. Maybe even making a lot of young men feel even more despondent and useless i

It's true, not all fascists are also necessarily convicted sexual abusers, amongst a host of no doubt other horrible things.

Why is everyone else responsible but the people responsible? Not calling out fascism is surely just as problematic. Do you have any data (except for interpersonal psychology) on whether letting fascism slide or calling it out ultimately mak

How do you figure that not providing life-saving medical treatment to a pregnant mother and letting her and her baby die is going to protect that unborn life?

No kidding, I was saying to my partner earlier how friggin crazy the timeline is getting. That 15 years ago, I couldn't have even imagined writing a fictional timeline like this. The most striking aspect to me is how blatent and brazen

You're right, but boy does it suck when antifa has to not only fight to win, but take the moral high ground and baby the potential fascists so they don't become actual fascists.

It's like being a pastry chef and mocking someone's cake as if it's the worst cake ever, but you can't even make a better one even though it's your profession.

That's a different security issue, not related to voter coercion. There are checks to ensure votes aren't fraudulent, that's actually very easy and already done. You can send as many ballots as you want, but they need to be l

by siffin 2y ago
I'm not proposing any of that. I'm just saying that voting isn't secure, and that has very real implications. See my other response for more detail.

by siffin 2y ago
Yea no, I get that, it's just that voting was still secure up until smartphones were ubiquitous. Now it's not. It's not just about vote stealing per se, it's about any third party infraction of individual voting rights.

by siffin 2y ago
When you disregard basic voting security, everything becomes super easy. Mail-in voting allows for vote buying, the only way to avoid this is by having a private in person voting booth so the person voting cannot prove to the outside world

That's a bleak point of view and simply untrue. People have been shown to shift their view on consumption habits. Social technology is the only tech that matters, as it's not just the carbon, it's also the plastic pollution,
