They don’t give a shit. The entire point of taking away health coverage and food assistance is so they can justify gigantic tax breaks to billionaires and megacorps

That’s what happens when you commit tax fraud. Or, at least, it used to be.

Lmao

Soon, we’re gonna see CatGPT and DeepDog, with their own subscription plans.

Police departments don’t hire “quality candidates“. They use IQ and personality tests to keep smart people excluded from the job, and for good reason: they want brutal authoritarians who will follow orders without question.

Police are not exploited workers. They’re armed agents of the state who have far more power than the average citizen. Most other developed nations have completely banned police unions to prevent them from amassing too much power. And that’s exactly what they do here.

The police certainly had this coming, although I now feel very bad for firefighters and teachers in Utah

You have confused the definition of “racism“ with “systemic racism“. A person, or a group, can be victims of racism without that racism having any realistic effect on them. Such is the case in South Africa. In cases, such as this, it is often a consequence of the actions of said group.

Which, of course, feeds into prejudice. And prejudice isn’t always unjustified. Again, as with the white people in South Africa, they certainly earned that prejudice through generations of colonization and apartheid.

It’s also the shortest and most easily recognizable, which is most likely why it caught on. The fact that it’s a Russian/Slavic derivative is probably just coincidence.

It’s a term that indicates a leader, and its origins are thousands of years before imperial Russia.

It’s a derivative of the Latin “Caesar”, and many cultures have used the term (or its derivatives) to indicate a leader. Pre-Weimar Germany was led by the Kaiser, a German adaptation of the title.

Was that ever in doubt?

Democracy dies in darkness, indeed

lol

Must was only one of the original founders, and I think the company could probably be really great if they got rid of him.

If by “eggs” you mean “Nazi skulls“, then you might be onto something.

Otherwise, no. Fascism is never the answer.

Nobody who voted for Trump actually cared about lower grocery prices. There are racist, bigoted, xenophobes, who only want to hurt people they don’t like. And they love Trump because that’s exactly what he is doing.

And that’s why this sort of attack won’t work. Because, even for those who voted for Trump, who don’t explicitly hate anyone not like themselves, they are delusional enough to never be able to admit they were wrong and to blame anyone who points it out to them for their troubles.

It isn’t just one person. That’s kind of how this works. When one extraordinarily slimy shitty person starts grabbing power, it encourages a lot of other people to become worse than they are by giving into their base impulses and desires, fearing no consequence. Being a piece of shit is an infectious disease in a very real sense.

It reminds me of religious people who asked me, an atheist, if you don’t believe in hell, then what stops you from committing crimes and murdering people? Well, I say to them, I’m just a decent person who understands the difference between right and wrong, and how my actions, especially selfish actions, can negatively affect people around me. I also possess the empathy required to feel bad when people around me are hurt by my actions.

These people don’t ask those questions, and they were morally dubious in the first place.

That’s what I hear. I deleted my Twitter many years ago, too. Although, it was still pretty bad then

That sounds nice. I wish it was like that here.

Almost everything on X is pro Nazi content. How is this different?
