  • Shut it down! The US is better off with no government than with the one it has | Judith Levine

  • The red states are net takers compared to federal. Taxes paid. In this hypothetical civil conflict all sides are materially worse off but the south would be worst by a margin. Material deprivation by the general populace can end a war, but it doesn't always.

    See Russia in Ukraine for an example.

    Where the lines are matters, whether Ohio and Michigan are in the NEUS or the south makes a big difference in population and industry.

  • Texas would last long enough to be dangerous to it's neighbors. I would not want to be in New Mexico if federal power breaks down.

  • In the American Civil War the North had the advantage in Navy, population, wealth, and industrial power.

    Now those advantages in population and industrial capacity are flipped. In the scenario you project the south could devolve into infighting and hollow out, but a single charismatic figure could unite them, and that would pose a terrible threat to the NEUSA and the Cali Republic. Have you read Rurtledove's American Front?

  • I deeply sorry. Give yourself as much time to grieve as you can. It's not your fault, but that won't make it hurt less. Sounds like you have been all anyone could have asked for.

    If you can, reach out to your support system outside of her. Staying close is good in the medium/long term but some distance in the short can help you settle into a new normal.

    Take care.

  • Well I also don't believe in Carceral punishment so take that as you will.

  • Kim Jong Un's brother was killed by squirt guns filled with poison.

    The shooters thought they were pranking him. Some guy gave them plastic squirt guns and said "squirt that man we are gonna film it for the internet."

    The real assassin was never caught.

    Lots of women have been scarred for life by a splash of strong acid, primarily in the Muslim world.

    Squirting someone with a liquid is a terror attack.

  • Technically this was an acid attack.

    Glad she is OK.

  • Cop gets 20 years for fatally shooting woman who called 911 for help

  • That makes it more dangerous for the us cops but doesn't excuse shooting people without guns.

  • Actual answer is: this does happen, but then that becomes the reason to prescribe it.

    Should I be trying to leave the USA before it's too late?

  • Northern Europe is much more likely to experience a surge of poverty because of global financial meltdown than a hot war with Russia.

    If you are living and working in a liberal area you might be better off looking for work in northern Europe than claiming refugee status. Refugees from the US are extremely likely to be returned here. I read Ireland is going to start accepting trans Americans but even that doesn't guarantee good treatment.

    Do get your passport. There are low cost options for stringing tourist visas together in South America and South East Asia. 25 grand could keep you comfortable for years. That's a long time to find steady remote work.

  • I said "primary all the DINOS and corporate shills." I gave 3 examples, but by the end of the line that could end up being everyone. AOC, Bernie, and Now Mamdani don't have their hands clean, just cleaner than their colleagues.

    The US system has two rounds of voting. The primary and the general. When you say "vote them out" it sounds like you are calling on voters to put Republicans into power to punish the Democrats.

    That never works and it results in harms like we are seeing now.

    Maybe you mean "vote green or some other third party" but even then, the American Green party is funded and supported by Moscow as a means to destabilize politics over here. Trying to grow a third party is even more magical thinking than my plan,which is already puenin the sky but it's the only thing that has worked since 1860.

    Voters in my country are dumb. Even politically engaged voters who read Lemmy threads. You need to be specific because there is always a right and a wrong choice even when they both suck.

    Vote them out is a call to support their opponents in the general election. Vote third party is a call to support the policies opposite to what you want.

    "Primary them" is a call to move the party to what you want.

    If you want a general strike until they meet our demands, well, the third party idea is more likely to work than that.

  • Did I say anything good about Chuck schumer or Jeffries?

    I think I said Schumer was a corporate shill that needs to be primaried. They are both genocide enablers and should be run out of Congress.

  • And then impeach him. And if trump pisses them off badly enough, they can impeach him too.

    Andrew Johnson was a lame duck after impeachment, because even though he kept his office, he was on notice from Congress.
