  • Nah that's only for the fascists. See Alex Pretti vs Kyle Rittenhouse.

  • Honestly if world leaders would just focus on killing each other and leave the rest of us out of it that would be a large improvement.

  • "Let one in"

    What do you think I, personally, should have done to stop Trump that I did not do?

    I get you're angry but this is a braindead political analysis. The US is a highly undemocratic country. Very few people wanted this to happen.

  • I'm not defending soldiers. I do think the position that it's wrong to join or support the US military is obviously correct. But of course that doesn't change the fact that we have no direct knowledge of why people do these things on an individual basis. Since you brought it up I thought I'd point that out. But I feel like now we're arguing just to argue.

    It seemed clear to me. If that wasn't the intention then I don't know?

    I'm just really sick of all of the finger-pointing between people about very insignificant actions people did or didn't do that may or may not have led us to this moment. I'd rather talk about how we get out of it.

  • I'm just making a statement about slacktivism. I don't have a problem with criticizing American troops.

  • I mean the title is clearly directed at random American civilians, not just military folks. Although yes, they are ignorant about people who are in the military too.

  • They're in the same position of ignorance about the people they're arguing with and criticizing online as I am.

    What kind of solidarity would you like to see from me that you feel is lacking?

  • Everyone shares blame, that's just the reality, whether people want to admit it or not. It means me, yes. But it also means you.

    I don't know why no one will admit that yes, they are partially to blame. I think that IS the first step to working together. If people don't feel responsibility to act because it's someone else's responsibility, then they won't.

  • The fact that they're lecturing us from the same position lol. That's what made me want to comment in the first place.

    But it's fine, I was trying to get past that with my edit calling for everyone to work together. But I guess as usual leftists working together proves impossible. Big part of why the world is so shit.

  • What criticism? You can't even criticize me because you know nothing about me lol

    I already acknowledged Americans have a responsibility to stop this so I don't even know what your objection is.

  • Everyone wants to play the victim. No one wants to do the hard work to protect the victims. Human nature.

    But whining about it online doesn't change shit. I guarantee you the real victims aren't here on Lemmy.

  • Americans are also a victim of it. But we do have more agency (and thus responsibility) in reducing its harms.

    I will note however that there is probably something that can be done from anywhere in the world. We live in an interconnected world. The fascist empire exists in part because the world allows it to.

  • Jesus fucking Christ this is how stupid they think we are.

  • Don't blame me, I posted critical memes on Lemmy, I did all I could!

    Edit: I have some mixed feelings about this comment. Let's cut the snark and actually think about what we can do to stop this madness. I hope everyone is checking in with their local orgs to see what actions can be taken.

  • The courts usually give an obscene amount of deference to the police. In a high profile case like this it's possible they'll be slightly more by the book... but usually they wrote the book to allow police to "reasonably" violate our constitutional rights, so that only goes so far.

    But yeah unless they ruled it inadmissible, the lapse in custody probably won't matter. The average juror is hopelessly naive and thinks cops are just pure-hearted goody two-shoes who would never do anything wrong.

  • Yeah that's my concern. The courts and the police are besties and they usually have each other's backs unless something happens that's so blatantly criminal that they can't find a way to excuse it. Imperfect custody of evidence doesn't sound that way to me, but I'm no expert.

    The good news for Luigi is his case has a lot of public scrutiny, which can force the courts to behave a bit better in some cases.

  • You're saying the backpack was ruled inadmissible? If so that is certainly a big deal, maybe bigger than possible jury nullification.

    However again, I have not been following all the twists and turns so I don't know what other evidence may have been uncovered since the arrest.

  • A fair point. I think I largely agree. But in the US there are a lot of grants for electric vehicles. Most public agencies are totally paralyzed and can't do anything new without federal funding. My suspicion is it's easier to get money for shiny new buses than for a new line. Especially because capital upgrades are mostly a one time cost while a new line requires ongoing funding. Funding they largely don't have.

    When I talk to my transit agency about new lines they look at me like I'm crazy and explain that they're fighting as hard as they can just to maintain existing service. But it's totally possible or maybe even likely there is mismanagement at play there.

  • Most of the passenger vehicles. A good chunk of heavy trucking could be replaced with rail too.

    I didn't mean any category would be totally eliminated, just the numbers reduced substantially for some.
