Jail them!

In prison gen pop. Make execs afraid to break the law for profit and/or fund reform for the prison system.

Unfortunately, the gutting of USAID and foreign aid programs is projected to kill millions in the developing world.

Now, either knock it off and get those nonvoters on our side

I honestly don’t believe that is possible. These are people who refused to oppose fascism in the least dangerous, lowest effort manner. I have no faith in them putting themselves in any actual danger to help, when they still do all manner of mental gymnastics to absolve themselves of any responsibility for their actions.

The other guy might not be mad but I am. Maybe when they accept responsibility for contributing to the millions that are going to die globally and the genocide ramping up domestically, we can talk. Until then, they’re just a step shy of collaborators, having refused to do the bare minimum to oppose fascism. There were only two possible outcomes in the general election:

1. Fascism.
2. Whoever the dems nominated

Pretending otherwise is just the fallacy of Denying the Correlative. There were no other options and abstaining only increased the chance of a fascist win.

They have a lot of supporters in the Evangelical Doomsday Cult that actively seeks to destroy the world.

Just hope it isn’t The Neptune Protocol.

Indeed! Would be necessary to ensure that it walks a line that is not ableist, while still preventing obstructionists from having undemocratic power to kill legislation with a “nuh-uh”.

And the filibuster wouldn’t be as big of a deal if they were required to actually filibuster. For a while now, they’ve only needed to send an email stating that they were filibustering. This would also probably force some senators who have no business making laws that they won’t be alive to see the consequences of to retire. For example, there’s no way that McConnell has been physically capable of a filibuster for the last decade at least - he should be enjoying retirement (as much as one can wish him well), not enjoying causing harm to current and future generations.

TIL: Accelerating global climate change, increasing depletion of available reserved of potable water through use of open-loop cooling, intentionally eroding the ability of people to support themselves by using their own works to compete with them without license or consent to do so, and passing all economic gains upwards, with no financial benefit realized by people doing the actual work is “spurious”.

Your claim is that “everything” that I previously stated was factually incorrect and have provided exactly nothing but ad hominem attacks to “prove” your point. So, are you going to backup your claims at all, or are you just approaching this in bad faith to troll or reinforce your pseudo-religious faith in LLMs (which will never be sentient nor save us from the problems that they are contributing to).

Prove it. I’m sure you can find some reputable sources to bank your claims.

luddite

Maybe you ought to also better understand that comparing one to people who stood up against exploitation isn’t really an insult. Just like the Rednecks were those fighting for the working class when they were gunned down by rent-a-cops with machine guns at Blair Mountain.

If you’ve any shed of evidence to disprove established fact, please share it. Otherwise, jog on, mate.

The judges who order and enforce the laws can’t just ignore the constitution. Birthright Citizenship is in the constitution.

Again, I’m really sorry to burst you bubble but do think that understanding the reality of our situation and tearing down the illusions is important.

1. The Judicial is charged with interpreting the law and arbitrarion. Not enforcement. That’s on the Executive branch.
2. The US Constitution has been increasingly ignored in both the Judicial and Executive branches since about the 60s. For example, the SCOTUS invented “qualified immunity” in 1967 to allow the Executive branch to effectively ignite constitutional rights. Their fuckery means that “it literally says it in the US Constitution” is insufficient to show evidence harm from being deprived of constitutional rights. Effectively, an identical case must have been tried, which makes it nearly impossible (because of the circular dependency).

You can’t make up some bullshit that is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and win in court.

Sadly, this is not exactly accurate. See:

• civil asset forfeiture (blatantly violated the literal wording and any good faith interpretation of the 4th and 6th Amendments)
• qualified immunity (was literally invented with no basis in existing law, violates the wording of the law as passed, which was maliciously transcribed to omit a clause explicitly banning immunity, and violates the 7th Amendment right to a jury trial for civil damages exceeding $20)

It’s a bribe.

Feel like supporting this statement?

“Disappearing someone” goes back a ways. It’s more than kidnapping or abduction because it is an action taken by authoritarian regimes to not just kidnap someone but, generally make it nearly impossible to locate them, often with torture and/or murder and ensuring that the body isn’t found. The goal is to terrorize the populace by making dissidents and others in targeted populations disappear without a trace, effectively erasing them from their communities. This is coupled with tacit refusal of anyone in government that is supposed to help to get involved.

ICE is openly committing terrorist acts in the exact same way that the gestapo and stasi did.

I see it as likely either:

1. Wanting to murder wide swaths of the population so that they are less worried about uprisings.
2. The Evangelical Doomsday Cult wanting to maximize harm to humanity so that they can bring about their Armageddon.

It was hacking according to Kevin Mitnick (RIP) so, it’s probably safe to say that your view doesn’t need to be changed.

You are entirely wrong regarding brexit voters.

You’re a Brexiteer, I take it? https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2053168018773964

Sorry if the reality that a significant number of the Leave voters are just racists upsets you. The fact that Brexiteers made life harder for my family in the occupied counties rather upsets me.

You are wrong regarding Trump.

Care to clarify your meaning there and support it with anything?

it is entirely of course entirely reasonable not to vote for the continuation of the political economic ideology that made Trump inevitable.

This is very much looking like embracing the fallacy of Denying the Correlative. The choices in the US election were only:

1. Fascism, or
2. Not fascism

There were no other options. It’s a two party FPTP system, making claims otherwise factually inaccurate. Refusing to vote against fascism was implicitly supporting fascism because refusing to vote has in recorded electoral history only ever helped the right-wing. It really is that simple.

Refuse to oppose fascism in the bare minimum fashion (other action is required) and you’re intentionally enabling harm to those that fascists hate.

You have a lot to learn. You will not learn it now.

I’ve learned that a lot of people claiming to care about humanity are just myopic egotists and lack basic maths skills. What are you suggesting needs learning?

Oh is this a homework assignment I’m required to do? Then Gosh, yes Sir! I am, all the time.

You might recall that you were making assertions that those of us pissed off at the betrayal are doing nothing.

It amazes me that you and your ilk are not even bothering to even ask why the dem candidates made a choice to support genocide,

The dem candidates made the choice to stick with the status quo, which you either knew they were not going to break with or were delusional. This genocide has been happening for nearly 80 years and you lot only started caring about it when millions of right-wing cash poured in to influence people to self-disenfranchise.

The “tactic” of not-voting if the only non-fascist option didn’t do what you wanted was, plainly, stupid. Inaction only helps the oppressor and non-voting has only ever helped the right-wing get elected.

you are on lemmy whining why didnt everyone else support genocide

And there’s the attemp to deflect responsibility again. You know that your fallacious claims are not based on reality - you have already demonstrated that you can think abstractly through your creative use of invented animal abuse to try to make yourself seem morally superior. Reality is not black and white, as much as you lot try to assert it to be.

and you see nothing wrong with that, and assign zero blame to the leaders who made a choice to support genocide. You hold them to no account whatsoever.

Of course, you know well we hold them responsible for their actions and would have them all tried for complicity but that’s become even more remote a possibility, thanks in part to you.

Pathetic

So, you continue to try to assert superiority over others. Congrats, I guess.

So, since you’re so concerned about people being held to account for genocide, are you going to accep responsibility for your part in making things worse for Gaza as well as the rest of the globe? Or are you just going to hide behind your faux action that explicitly helped get fascists into power?

How about the global genocide through acceleration of climate change? Are you happy that you helped participate in supporting that? Are you happily accepting responsibility for skiing the part?

How about the mass deportations? How about the illegal and punitive imprisonment of people supporting a free Palestine? Are you proud of your role in making that happen?
