Blowing with the wind, is he? Someone inform me if this isn’t just pure posturing for voters.

Edit: Holy crap! What an interesting split on this comment. Look people, all I was trying to do was glean more info on what type of billionaire behavior this guy’s been exhibiting, and perhaps have a measured discussion on the subject. Truth be told, no billionaire or person of such excessive means can be trusted until separated from such wealth and means, and certainly all high profile politicians say the favorable thing and then do something else. I’d rather folks share what they know etc even just to approximate where this guy is on that scale; it’s interesting (and somewhat disappointing) that the middle ground I imagined (ie: has done some good, still don’t trust him) just really not represented here. I just don’t know where the bar is anymore. I do know that getting vitriolic and irrational, or conversely strongly supporting establishment types is ultimately distracting and a useful tool to those in power.

That’s some good rage baitin’ Mr. Cumfart!

“It can do other things! Why Shouldn’t it?!”

Like the Iran war is a distraction from the Epstein files, and also a vile banal thing neocons have been edging on for decades.

This is indeed a disturbing universe.

That’s a good point; think of all the other things they’re normalizing this way as well.

I’d like to think of it as starving the economy, thank you very much.

I would say it is important for the troops that have received their ready deployment orders to see this as much as possible, so they know who to train their weapons on.

*This I mean

Also are there more angles, like pink jacket girl’s?

*I think its this one: https://files.catbox.moe/sp296e.mp4

American [representative republic] nuked by corporate buyout in 1980s-90s, now any remaining illusion of its former state now remains for indigent suckers. More at 11.

Sponsored by The Walton Family. They do literally tell us.

Ok maybe I missed something, um; I comprehend that dhs/ice are generally hired for their heavy psychopath profile, I was additionally saying that this action was likely at the direction of a superior, specifically. That’s the joke. That’s it.

As in, this is intentional agitation meant to further foment a violent response, declare martial law, try to cancel elections, and so forth. Guess there’s no reading between the lines here though.

Anyone wanna take bets on paid actor?

edit: I’m saying they’re agitating on purpose here and I’m downvoted? Do I need to spam /s next time?!

edit 2: Looking at response/comment chain makes me fucking ill. Didn’t realize lemmy had been completely invaded by astroturfers and russian bots. And at this time we’re up to 30 fascist sympathizers! Just, ugh.

They never left, they are just horse pills now with unclear labeling.

Oh my, yes, you are correct. That was sort of knee jerk, as opposed to it being the reporting party’s burden somehow. I simply cannot understand the legal gymnastics needed to punish your customers for this sort of thing; I’m tired but I feel like this is not exactly an uncommon occurrence. Anyways let us all learn from my mistake and do not be rash and curtail your own freedoms.

So in a just world, google would be heavily penalized for not only allowing csam on their servers, but also for violating their own tos with a customer?

I didn’t know that! Thank you for that tidbit. Also wanna take the time to say I feel I derived more satisfaction learning of the source than I lost from the bummer.

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are null and void. All personal liberties and rights have been revoked. Even the most woke (proper usage) are not sure what we can do.

Shit, he’s getting his press releases straight from Stephen Miller’s office now.

I wanted to reply to numerous comments, but I’ll just do it here. The people aggrieved that democrats/liberals/the left didn’t do more are not wrong for being upset, even very upset. Things are generally better for everyone, in recent history, under left-side leadership. But our representatives have been beset by corporate capture since the 80s/90s so by my estimation politics has been a performative art for my entire lifetime. Still anyone with their head above water knows you’ve got better quality of life under democrats, even if they are deceptive or corrupt.

The system needs replacement. It has been captured whole by multi-national industry, corporations, investment interests, and billionaires. It is currently being bent and corrupted to the point of no return. Even if democrats work for us, they only give us so much before bending for their donor money. I’ve always had this vague notion that for even the best intentioned, there’s only so far you can climb the ladder of politics before you refuse a bribe, or lobbying money, and they just boot your ass. Or blacklist you, or whatever, you just get locked out. I dunno how to end this, except to say that the whole world needs a massive paradigm shift, and it just doesn’t look like we gettin it.
