Not one of you imbeciles read my point.

Pull the plank out of your own eye first.

I am a Black person you absolute twat. Caring about my own life is not “whataboutism” and it’s fucking ghoulish for you to discount my life because it’s more convenient for you.

Get bent.

Someday I would really love to hear a breathless tale about how bad the Soviet Union was, that doesn’t involve something the United States did to Black people. But I don’t think any country has ever treated its citizens as badly as the US treats Black people.

You’re really showing your ass when you get upset about human rights abuses from your global competitors, but don’t care when your allies do the same. Pull the plank out of your own eye.

Nothing could make me believe this guy is guilty.

Because his deadline was today and his sim hadn’t arrived. “Waiting an extra day” is not an option.

No. Republicans are fascists who are planning to make America somewhat more universally authoritarian than it always has been. 30-40% of Americans are white supremacists who think this is great. The rest are split between people who don’t know anything that’s happening, those who think that 2008 was a reasonable level of fascism and we should try to stay somewhere near there, and those who don’t want fascism at all. (This list is ordered from largest to smallest.)

Yes. All corporate media is state media. None of it can be trusted.

It’s a sad state of affairs when you’ll get better information from Teen Vogue than any organization in the White House Press Pool.

Corporate media is propaganda. They got Trump elected and now they’re carrying water for his administration.

I can see how my first comment might not have been clear, but surely I can’t get much clearer than “That’s not what I said at all”. It sounds like you’re suggesting that your interpretation of my comment is what I meant regardless of what I was trying to say.

The mayor’s plan of “Ice free zones” is a great strategy because it sets up the inevitable court case. Regardless of what anyone on Lemmy thinks, the guy talking about “There are no rules anymore” is the doomer, not me.

There are, in fact, rules, and we either use the courts or [redacted so I don’t get banned]. Police officers arresting ICE is not on the table both due to federal supremacy and also because cops are fascists anyway and most are pretty happy about what ICE is doing. If you think cops are going to save you, you haven’t been paying attention.

That’s not what I said at all. He is resisting. But he isn’t talking about arresting Federal agents like an online idiot who doesn’t know how anything works.

Pardon me for living in reality.

Strategy and tactics tell us that your idea is not realistic. You need to understand that laws are threats of violence and the last person to speak in any situation is the person holding the biggest gun. The mayor of Chicago cannot out gun the federal government and it’s nonsense to suggest he should try.

Y’all got to take the word “distract” out of your vocabulary. Israel is not committing genocide to distract from the Epstein files.

I don’t really know or care much about Greta Thuneberg. But I wouldn’t criticize her unless my activism was objectively more effective than hers…and I don’t think that describes either of us.

I believe in restorative justice. The idea is that criminals should try to restore the wrong that they’ve done.

I don’t pretend to have all the answers. Maybe some people are incorrigible. But people saying to “Put a bullet in his head” are working from the same fascist playbook as he is, and that won’t solve anything.

The United States is a fascist police state and always has been. The people in the replies below are fine with that as long as they get to pick who the government mistreats.

The problem with that is that someday the “wrong” person will be back in charge, and they get to use all the power of the authoritarian state. The only thing to do is to take the power to kill people away from the government entirely.

It is amazing how Americans manage to be so arrogant regardless of reality. Has it ever occurred to you that the US has funded death squads across the world? Trump is pretty par for the course, he’s just terrorizing American cities instead of South American or Middle Eastern.

The trainee, who previously worked as an FBI support specialist in Los Angeles, received a letter — dated Oct. 1 and signed by Patel — claiming he had displayed an improper “political” message in the workplace during his assignment in California under President Joe Biden, according to a copy of the letter shared with MSNBC.

I’m not sure you’ve quite grasped the concept of linear time…

Biglari has been trying to take over Cracker Barrel for years. Not really hard to guess who was behind this.

Why use many word when one word do trick?

Starting with “Hate to break it to you” is starting an argument with someone on your own side for no reason.

We used to have laws against media consolidation. Yes, the wealthy have always owned media, however, this is still new

You’re making a point slightly different than mine. It’s weird and unnecessary to act like I didn’t know that.
