This comment chain is the evidence of the opposite. Outsiders act like the country was equally fucked in 2023 and 2025. The tankies think we’ve always been equivalent to or worse than Russia and China. There are a number of people who just “don’t pay attention to politics”, which caused our current situation.
She was ordered to leave and she was leaving.
I don’t think it is in this case. The one who kicked over the memorial was federal.
We sure as hell need some allies, and it’d be nice to have state and local authorities on our side.
To be a bit less flippant, the analogy isn’t far off.
Reading terminal instructions that you can easily copy/paste is a hell of a lot easier than watching a video and clicking around menus.
The issues that you’re having wouldn’t be any easier if they showed in a GUI. Yeah, things with GUI can be more polished, but that’s a result of the effort in that product, and not a result.of the GUI.
I sympathize with what I believe is your main point, that Linux people often are condescending and refuse to make things user friendly, whether that’s in a GUI or in the terminal. But the terminal itself shouldn’t be too daunting.
You’re one of the people who would rather watch a 13 minute YouTube video than read a paragraph.
It’s desperate. They want to temper any response to this one in particular.
It’s basically “You’re not allowed to be upset about this one or you’re racist.”
Well, the ICE did absolutely nothing to stop the car, and it didn’t run him over.
So was he really in any danger at all?
If I choose to stand on a train platform when a train is coming, am I in danger?
Which treaty is the one he really wants to dissolve? I bet it’s one Russia wants dead.
I was thinking of the other side. It’s relevant in how much of a barrier it creates to making new, plausible accounts. Not much of one.

The difference is a speed bump. It’s a relevant one, but not that relevant, especially in the era of chatbots.
Maybe. Biden and Obama deported everyone who needed deporting in an attempt to please the Republican voter.
There weren’t many problems left to validly deport.
It’s why they started raiding workplaces and schools. Any actual problems were already solved.
“Principled” is the wrong word. “Naive” might be better. “Cowardly” with rationalization could work.
They believed it would damage the country to have a jury of 12 put Trump in prison rather than a jury of 375 million. It would damage the country. The best possible outcome was Dems win the election and then Trump sees justice. Intolerance bring fascisms, so they fought fascism with tolerance. This is the result of their actions AND our actions.
It was convenient to pass the buck onto the American voters because it meant they didn’t have to do anything.
It’s not an argument anyone who studies this video would buy.
Now we find out if he faces a jury of his peers.
He did step out of the way. He did not in any way stop the movement of the vehicle.
That’s a good first step. One of the best things we can do to fight back is make sure we have cameras that report to us, and that don’t report to them.
We decided what our cameras are used for. Not them.
These are conversations better had offline.
I appreciate that everyone is skeptical of all comments here.
And I’m glad people express that skepticism.
It’s very clear there’s manipulation here. And if you think you’re immune, you shouldn’t be participating in anonymous social media.
But I do appreciate that there are some people here to fight against the bots and threats to democracy, both foreign and domestic. Even if we can’t tell who they are or what is manipulation and what is honest.
Be careful what you post. Be aware. Be skeptical. Talk to people in real life, because even if it’s just people at the corner shop, that’s a hell of a lot more valuable than here.
We’re going to recreate Tiananmen Square. We may zip right past Kent State.
repeating the same tired, thought-terminating clichés
like “both sides”
Can your neighborhood communicate when the Internet goes down like Iran?
