  • Kind of ironic that a nation with forced conscription doesn't end up having any civilians over the age of 18 because it turns them all into combatants.

    I think that's actually part of the Gambit. By smearing everybody in shit they more or less compel everyone to have to defend the state to protect themselves from the consequences of things they did when they were young and easily manipulated into becoming monsters.

    It doesn't mean they're not monsters, it just means that a lot of innocent children got turned into monsters who are no longer innocent or children.

    There is no rank higher than your humanity and you have an obligation to submit to it. These soldiers should have known before they turned 18 not to kill children and that bulldozers attacking houses is wrong. They should have known better and possibly many of them did. I hope every polite nation arrests these people and sends them to the Hague.

    I wish them all the worst.

  • Even if it's just a competing team of oligarchs fighting over who can produce the most amount of animosity and mistrust of the other, they're going to accidentally stumble across some shit that the other one doesn't want you to see and then they'll show it to you.

    It turns out we don't have any way of getting clean unbiased sources so the best we can do is just have a lot of different ones with different biases since there is no such thing as clean public media anymore.

  • It's weird cuz when I go to the site I don't see anything like that as even an option.

    I don't see any option that says "need help signing in" and you have to type in your social security number before you even get to the page that has your phone number on it? What am I missing?

  • It's far more well resourced, focused, managed, and targeted. A state sponsored gang is always going to be much scarier than one that emerges on its own funded only by the revenue of its actions.

    What are they even doing in those schools these days?

  • They want to punish him harder than the law would allow so they're charging him with something he clearly didn't do? Am I understanding that correctly?

    There are plenty of weird laws out there, but if the state is going to pull tricks like this, then do the laws mean anything or are they just weapons to be redefined at will?

  • Well, I guess that settles it

  • That's true but the way that a federal jury works is very different.

    It allows them to choose people from outside of the area in which the crime occurred.

    Making it a federal trial jury instead of a state trial jury allows them to charge this single murder against an individual perpetrated by another individual who made no public statement with a much more severe crime than the state laws that he broke would normally allow.

    It's also important to note that making it a federal trial makes it less public as there will be no cameras allowed. They don't want him tried in the state of New York because that could legally be televised which is a bad look when you've already got judicial homicide lined up and the trial is purely performative.

    Being that they can choose people from all over and that the process of jury selection is even more opaque at the federal level they can make sure there won't be any nullification issues.

    The way they are treating Luigi whether or not he's guilty indicates that it's not relevant whether or not he's guilty. They legitimately don't care, this is about sending a message that the poors don't get to fight back.

  • They charged him with terrorism so a regular jury won't get to make that decision. It will be a federal grand jury of selected stooges, and maybe even a secret court.

  • Did someone suggest we do that?

    Is someone here in this thread suggesting that we should force the entire country further to the right and allow a dictator to return to power?

    Did you maybe mean to reply to somebody else?

    The solution to America's problems won't materialize if we magically criticize Donald Trump and the Republicans hard enough. There's no magic words we're going to say that are going to change those people. Instead, I would suggest that conversations about criticism of the opposition be separated from conversations about criticism of 'our team'.

    The Republicans aren't to blame for the faults in Democrats, and the Democrats are not to blame for the faults in Republicans. The major political parties have plenty of faults and some of those faults they have in common, but they are distinctly different in a number of important ways.

    The Republican party can't help America improve. It's not just that the system is rigged against the little guy it's that Republicans don't want to help the little guy. They want to squeeze him harder. The cruelty is the point.

    The Democratic party can't help America improve. The system is rigged against the little guy, but literally anybody who wants to try and help the little guy has to come here to this party to make that attempt because the party is at least hospitable to the concept.

    The stumbling block of the left is not Donald Trump. He's a symptom of our problem. Our problem is people like Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein who are pathologically incapable of cooperating with anyone to the left of Reagan.

    You don't get Donald Trump if you promote Bernie. You don't get Donald Trump if you have real primaries, let the people pick the candidates, and create a pipeline to put rising Stars into leadership positions.

    I'm really worried that the deadweight at the top of the party is literally willing to sacrifice democracy to fascists rather than give one inch to progressives.

  • No response to "Democrats ran a shit candidate who didn't even mention healthcare or taxing the rich, and never won a primary " involves the words 'Trump', 'putin', 'nazi', or 'republicans'.

    Donald Trump isn't the problem. The problem isnt that donald trump is so attractive or that the voters are so stupid. That's like blaming fire for drawing an audience or being mad that ice is slippery.

    The problem is that Democrats don't want to win if it means a progressive agenda. The function of the Democratic party is to mollify progressives and help ratchet us to the right by providing a fig leaf for the same owner class that does almost all the donating to politics and is literally driving the legislative and judicial agenda of the GOP.

    This reads like propaganda written by somebody so far out of touch they can't even understand what it looks like to people who work for a living.
