I mean, Lemmy lets you stay even though you are annoying as fuck, and nobody brutalizes you for sharing your viewpoints (psychotic as they may be). Perhaps you could put that shoe on the other foot if you could first pull it out of your mouth.
Yeah, it’s definitely the fault of the people who are pushing for reform, and civilian oversight.
Staffing shortages couldn’t possibly be because there are tons of cops who didn’t want a bright light shined on their horrible, abusive behavior that they have been allowed to get away with, completely unchecked, since time immemorial…
What we need is to de-fang the police unions, force them into the same collective bargaining pools as the rest of the employees in their municipalities, like all the other EMS workers, and then make them accountable to the civilians they are policing so we find police who actually give a fuck about bettering their communities.
One example, from just up the Ivy-garlanded I-95, at Brown University, was announced just hours before Shafik again called in the police. Brown’s governing body agreed to vote on a proposal that would divest the school’s endowment of companies affiliated with Israel in a meeting in October. The proposal is based on a 2020...
- Housing Crisis: Largely caused by Republican fiscal policies
- Student Loan Crisis: Largely caused by Republican fiscal policies
- Lack of Single Payer Healthcare: Directly caused by Republican social, fiscal, and legislative policy
- Revocation of Abortion Rights: Directly caused by Republican social policies and weaponization of the Judicial system
- Destabalization of the Middle East: Directly caused by Republican (Neo-Conservative) foreign policy
Every fucking issue you just posted about was caused by the party YOU CLAIM TO SUPPORT. I really don’t understand how it is possible for someone to be this fucking ignorant. I really feel bad for you homie.
You are working so far against your own interest you don’t even know it. Conservatism is about preserving power, control, and resources for those who already have them, and that ain’t you. Grow the fuck up, and understand what world you are living in.
It’s the fucking algorithm. I’ve been active on YouTube since it started. I’ve had a Gmail account since it was in invite only beta. It’s safe to say they know all about my political leanings at this point. Yet, I still get hard right content in shorts all the fucking time no matter how much I block it, or dislike it. It’s crazy…
I’m going to keep it 💯 with you. Those people are in danger no matter who is in office because Israel is hellbent on commiting genocide, and the United States is strategically aligned with Israel. That isn’t going to change in the immediate term no matter what delusions you or anyone else might have.
What will get A LOT fucking worse is the future for everyone in the United States that is not part of the oligarchy if Donald Trump gets back in office. There won’t be any chance to make reforms, or change US foreign policy. Anybody that isn’t white, upper class, or a collaborator is going to become a second class citizen.
So it is time to decide whether you are going to support the party that is going to preserve democracy, or if you are going to doom this country because you want everyone to identify with the suffering of those in Gaza. Either way, Gaza will be in the same position that it is in right now. All we are discussing is whether we are going to doom millions more people along with them.
Democrats won the battle (ie, reclaiming presidency) but have lost the war.
I agree, and I think the scarier reality is this, if Donald Trump gets back into office the following things will occur:
He will force Roberts, Thomas, and Alito to step down during his presidency so he can guarantee indefinite control of the court for the next 40-50 years.
Once that is done his cronies will set up whatever legal challenges are necessary before the court to guarantee federal oversight of the elections in swing states.
They will be firing the majority of the Federal Employees, and will begin strategically staffing vacancies from their ranks in positions that allow them to commit economic warfare on states who do not submit to their will.
I don’t think people really understand how bad this can get, and how fast it can get there. The level of economic slavery they can impose in 4 years with the kind of shrewd, competent, and abjectly evil sociopaths that are lying in wait this time around is going to blow people’s fucking minds.
Russia forcefully invaded a sovereign country without provocation.
Israel is conducting an asymmetrical war against an oppressed minority, and using collective punishment.
I wouldn’t expect someone with your limited ethical, and intellectual capacity to understand why those things are wrong. I would, in-fact, expect that you are in favor of both of those things since you want to allow the United States to be turned into a fascist hell-hole just for the fucking lulz.
Can’t win on Lemmy (or Reddit!).
Hopefully you never win because in the marketplace of ideas you are fucking bankrupt.
I am going to assume you don’t really understand what it would mean if there was a pandemic with a 10-50% case fatality rate in the modern global economy where it would be on every single continent on earth in a matter of days. I can assure you that housing prices would be the last fucking thing on your mind.
Nobody should take you seriously because you are as pathetically weak willed and spineless as you are dishonest. Defending what Donald Trump did and the Supreme Court’s usurpation of the Constitution to allow him to avoid prosecution makes you a traitor to democracy. You disgust me.
I meant to reply to you yesterday, but I forgot. Your link was amazing, thanks for posting.
I had to stop reading after a while though because I was getting too fucking depressed that so many morons keep willingly giving this chuckle-fuck their money even though all of the available evidence points to him being a pedantic child and pathological liar who’s companies exist in spite of him rather than because of him.
