Sure, his ketamin-addled brain has been promising us that there would be millions of humans on Mars very soon for years now. That doesn't make it real. And that does not explain either how they'd survive, or even how they'd g

How would sending a few dozen people to the subzero anoxic radioactive and sterile desert known as Mars help Humanity? Would be cool, don't get me wrong, but utterly useless for anything other than scientific research.

Your reasoning is ignoring that billionaires disproportionately benefit from public investments (tax money). Therefore, when they avoid paying taxes, they're taking more from the community than they are putting back in: this is theft,

But confidently asserting she was trying to kill the ICE agent does not? Get real.

See, you're doing it again. For god's sake just stop. Pulling a gun and firing at someone is murder. Her vehicle escaped without harming any of the masked gestapo thugs going after her, she did her best to quickly get out of a li

Indeed, but that doesn't mean I have to be fine with that. He already had a perfectly good case against that fine, but using the occasion to cozy up to actual fascists completely discredits him to anyone serious.

This guy has made half a dozen comments saying her murder was justified, but some views seem to be immune to moderation on here. I've had dang or tomhow come at me for waaay less (and I'm not saying I was in the right).

I talked to these people minutes ago, on the thread about the murder. Trumpists are finding ways to rationalize this assassination. Just like they did Jan 6, the bombings of fishing boats near Venezuela, the other exactions ICE committed,

Quite the opposite actually. Democrats have been so complacent with the proto-fascists for so long, that republicans will now justify murdering a mother in broad daylight, filmed under 3 angles clearly showing she is fearing for her life. T

A lot of them are just doing this for free, and got got too by the insane propaganda apparatus in service of the GOP, that converted so many Americans into defending straight up murder and pedophilia.

What's your point? That OP is exclusively referring to yesterday's execution when saying this admin deserves to get Nuremberg'd? Anyone calling for the Trump administration to face justice is obviously thinking of their many

I have literally zero hope for the democrats to step in and make things right, even if they get Congress, which they probably will.

They led to the rise of powerful oligarchs who now very obviously steer the country (and the world) in a violent direction that I don't believe benefits many, except themselves of course.

I mean, not really? They don't decay naturally, all the ones I can think of had to be manually dismantled through State interventions.

You were never forced to, don't change the subject. Issue is with the secretary of health spreading obvious lies about pasteurization, a process that saved countless lives over the course of more than a century.

Antivax, avocated against pasteurization, thinks fries are healthy when fried in beef tallow, swam in sewers with his grandkids to prove the human body is naturally immune to diseases and vaccines are unnecessary, tried to ban paracetamol b

Nope, you can have capitalism where the vast majority of the population is legally or economically barred from owning anything. The only private ownership required in capitalism is that of the means of production, which says absolutely noth

I'm also a compulsive text highlighter, and I find middle click pasting annoying too. There are dozens of us, dozens!

by thrance 10mo ago
Capitalism was never about owning things. It's about accumulating capital (hence the name), and renting stuff is more profitable than selling stuff.

Billions are already "priced out" of owning property, why do you think you joining them would have any broader impact? EDIT: I don't know why I'm being downvoted. Billions of human beings have absolutely nothing to their

I don't care about American law. Sharing fake porn of real children is illegal in my country, where X offers its services.

I usually fall in the "all law enforcement is bad" part of the population too. But I don't think law enforcement in any society has ever not attracted these type of people you describe. I believe the "culture that&#x27

Gee, I wonder why people would take offense at an AI model being used to generate unprecedented amounts of CSAM from real children, or objectify millions of women without their consent. Must be that classic Musk Derangement Syndrome. The re

Sounds a lot like a "they're asking for it"-type argument.

by thrance 10mo ago
I don't think this is a useful framework for understanding these issues. What you are saying can, in essense, boil down to "any law enforcement is bad". ICE and its inhumane practices are just symptoms of an increasingly auth

China is not "safe, clean and nice" for everybody.

You should read up on China's credit score. There are a lot of misinformations about it online. In effect, it does little more than the US credit scores that inspired it.

You're thinking about it from a sane POV, but the people at the helm are insane. The only question is: would invading Greenland please Trump, yes or no?

I missed the part where Jefferson promised Louis the XVIth exclusive access to the colonies' wealth, and then France abducted the King. Better analogy would be Pinochet's coup. Nationalists calling for the US to coup their own cou
