This kind of punishment first mentality can be unlearned or acculturate against, but it’s probably a primate thing, not a white supremacy thing.

The earliest written laws were already largely punitive and Hammurabi predates white supremacy. Aboriginal Australian legal codes involved a lot of retributive not restorative practices too - spearing in the leg was a common legal recourse. And those codes probably predate the existence of whiteness by tens of thousands of years.

I prefer the original “Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders”

Is the lacking sophistication bit a reference I’m missing?

I feel that spreading lies, even to make fun of them, is ultimately counter-productive. I know others disagree though.

I was really hoping they’d keep him, rather than replacing him with the next most sycophantic rich boy in line.

We all know they tolerate rank incompetence and have no care for the lives of americans. Keeping hegseth would be saying that much louder, so now it’s someone else’s turn to endanger our lives.

So I’ve not paid close attention to opera in over a decade, clearly, because I just checked wikipedia and didn’t even know that it was chromium now.

I don’t have a problem with using a Chinese owned app - I’m neither tankie nor sinophobe, an increasingly lonely position - but I can see now why opera wouldn’t be included. Thanks!

Is there a reason that opera isn’t listed in browsers, or that OpenOffice isn’t included in office suites? I thought they had a relatively decent userbase.

Also Reddit -> Lemmy/Mbin could be added in social media.

Her phone wasn’t in the bag from any reporting I’ve seen. But she could easily be lying about that.

If it was a targeted intelligence action, all they got was her (now cancelled) DHS access badge. Russia already has front door access to the white house and probably everything doge has touched. China can just ask Russia if musk hasn’t filled them in yet.

I think it’s much more likely that she’s just a clueless rich moron who got her bag stolen.

Yeah I couldn’t stand it, and came to the comments because I was sure it would already be mentioned.

I stuck through season 1, pretending that the character’s arcs were believable and fast forwarding through some of the brutality, then gave up.

A friend convinced me to try again, but the seconds time I gave up after the season with the shots of the pool debris at the start. The payoff on that felt cheap and vaguely a violation of chekovs gun. After that I had to tell the friend who wanted me to watch it that I was done and wouldn’t be trying again.

He just opposed a plan to put money behind progressive candidates.

Progressive candidates in safe seats would allow them a platform to spread progressive messaging, showing americans that the Dems can offer a platform to get excited about, without sacrificing their ability to tack right in specific electorates where that’s tactically sound.

There are seats where the realistic choice is a fascist or a conservative dem. Focusing funds to those battles ensures the democratic party stays conservative, fails to offer a meaningful alternative, and fails to avert fascism.

We’ve tried nothing and we’re fresh out of ideas, he says while defunding new ideas.

This account is a violent transphobic troll.

They post transphobic comments and calls for violence then whine about being banned from trans-friendly communities because they “just want some reasonable freedom to say what I want”

Once these fascists are in jail, it will be important to nationalize spacex, starlink, and this bullshit if it ever happens.

Because obduration is just a much less useful school than evocation.

Bill Maher is a right wing troll, who’s surprised he’s meeting with a fascist regime?

Democrats ran conservative campaigns against a nazi candidate. Unsurprisingly, going for the ‘rich people who aren’t nazis’ demographic failed to swing yet another election.

Anyone focused on who to run in a 2028 election is delusional. There’s absolutely no reason to think the regime will allow a 2026 election, let alone 2028.

You know you’ve hit on the truth when the powerful threaten to kill you.

During St. Clair’s pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in other women to have even more of their children faster. “To reach legion-level before the apocalypse,” he said to St. Clair in a text message viewed by The Wall Street Journal, “we will need to use surrogates.”

He literally wants to bring a legion of his spawn to Mars while the world burns behind them. His dream is a world where we’re all dead far away, and humanity is just versions of him.

It’s not because he took a job, it’s because he’s throwing the weight of his celebrity behind a woman who encourages violence against some of the most marginalized people in our society.

People are questioning his ethics, not his career choices.

Political identites are fundamentally about group-belonging, not ethics or consistency.

Moreover, conservativism is just the modern term for aristocratic and aristocrats have always valued complete freedom for themselves and the enslavement of everyone below.
