  • United States Completes WHO Withdrawal

    Jump

  • Majority is over half or 50% + 1. And we have a very high level of purposeful disenfranchisement. Gerrymandering, restriction of voting places, removal of mail-in votes, no voting holiday, voter ID laws, purging of vote roles with no way to renew your registration in time, two parties that are ever marching rightward away from most American's policy preferences.

    Like, be mad at the people who voted for this, but it's not even close to most of us. They're unpopular, and most people don't want this shit. There are more of us than there are of them so stop acting like you've already lost and that we deserve this. We didn't and we don't.

  • Across Minnesota, many businesses plan to close Friday to protest ICE action

    Jump

  • I mean, it couldn't be better either. It makes it look like the protest has more reach than it probably actually did

  • United States Completes WHO Withdrawal

    Jump

  • Trump didn't receive a majority of the votes, and 64% of eligible voters voted. So, not even a third of voters voted for this.

  • Why medieval city-builder video games are historically inaccurate - Leiden Medievalists Blog

    Jump

  • Very much not. Reads more like "here's this interesting thing about old school towns and we're using video games as a hook to discuss them"

  • Why medieval city-builder video games are historically inaccurate - Leiden Medievalists Blog

    Jump

  • Medieval towns were planned almost in their entirety before anyone moved there, they followed some set standards on what to build, and once established they remained mostly unchanged in size or population. As opposed to games, where you place a city center and organically grow out from there in a linear fashion in both terms of buildings and population.

  • Mark Kelly says he's seriously thinking about running for president

    Jump

  • Yes, it's how Mamdani won in New York.

    Most people with limited political savvy heard Trump talk about the economy when Harris said she wanted to keep things as they are. And everything got fucked under Biden, but things were good under Trump, right? Let's go back to that. Plus he was funny.

    There is a dedicated group of shitheads that support everything the Republicans shit out, but they're by-and-large not the majority in most places.

  • they said sorry

    Jump

  • Used the same process for both, so that's already accounted for. Both are total population vs those that voted for the regime.

  • Keep everyone safe. Please cover coughing and sneezing

    Jump

  • Wrong. Cover with the crook of your arm, not your hand. The point is to reduce the contact between your phlegm and other people's faces. If you cough into your hand and then touch something, you'll get others sick.

    Honestly, this disinformation makes me sick! /s

  • Mark Kelly says he's seriously thinking about running for president

    Jump

  • Kelly was brave for standing up to Trump, but I don't think he's a good choice.

    People want concrete policy, economic fixes, and the end of culture war shit. Kelly is just "I'm against Trump" which didn't work the last two times it was tried. You need a candidate to stand for something, and Kelly ain't it.

  • they said sorry

    Jump

  • Yes, we have a disenfranchisement problem in the US. Between voter rolls being purged, people losing their right to vote due to felonies, gerrymandering out the ass, voter ID and other such nonsense trying to stop legal votes, and purposeful locking down/ limiting of voting places, it's honestly impressive so many were still able to vote. Doesn't change that what you said was wrong.

    And it's 188 million, unless you think a vote for Harris wasn't voting against Trump.

  • they said sorry

    Jump

  • Approx. 17.3 million people voted for the nazis in 1933, total population was 67.7 million, for 25.5% of the population.

    Approx. 77.3 million people voted for trump in 2024, total population was 340.1 million, for 22.7% of the population.

    No, the fascist gained power here with even less of a mandate than the nazis.

  • Archbishop says it would be ‘morally acceptable’ for troops to disobey orders

    Jump

  • The problem is that the consequences aren't balanced. If you disobey an order, the consequences are immediate. If you obey an illegal order, you might face consequences at some point in the future. If you disobey an order because you genuinely believe it's illegal, there's no protection for you if that happens to not be the case. Meaning the only way to know that you're safe to disobey an order on the grounds that it's illegal is to know exactly what law is being broken. Not a thing that soldiers are trained to know.

    That, plus, in that moment you have to have a mountain of conviction to resist doing the thing they've been drilling into your head since basic, follow orders without thinking. Which is why I'm saying it amounts to nothing more than "the common soldiers aren't supposed to follow illegal orders, this is all their fault for not stopping this" as a justification.

  • Archbishop says it would be ‘morally acceptable’ for troops to disobey orders

    Jump

  • It's the same in the US, but you have to be court-martialed to prove that the order was unlawful (ie, you fail to obey a command, you'll be arrested, and only let go if the military tribunal determines you were right to not follow that command).

    If Germany's system is the same... then you've got the rule on paper only. Soldiers don't question orders, it's how they're taught to act. This is a post hoc justification for punishing regular soldiers for unlawful acts, rather than anything actually actionable in the moment.

  • what an odd reoccurring pattern

  • I'm neurodivergent as fuck, but I think this post is supposed to be sarcastic. So stating that you see it sincerely rings odd.
