This saga makes it clear that all anti-terrorism laws need to be repealed.

Raped with a fucking knife… I’m not sure why so few outlets choose to report that fun little detail.

I’d say both, colonialism is sort of a subtype of imperialism where the conquered territories get settled by the ruling people. Russia has engaged in this for a long time.

What I meant was, what is the mechanism that supposedly connects facial features to job performance?

Anyone who thinks this underestimates Trump’s sinophobia.

Disturbing. What is the proposed mechanism here? Or is it unknown?

There aren’t any.

I assume you mean JFK, was he talking about this?

But I mean we as in the people of the US. Our leaders have very different incentives than we do.

When are we going to start talking about abolishing the FBI?

Can’t be passed over for the Nobel peace prize if the prize committee is reduced to radioactive slag.

Wasn’t it just the other day that the China apologists were trying to convince us they’re abolishing the death penalty imminently?

Should disabling these cameras be considered community defense? Discuss.

I don’t wear any flags because I don’t support authoritarian governments (including the Canadian government). In fact, if you paid attention, you might realize the comment you replied to was me offering an alternative solution for those who have this concern…

This is your brain on nationalism, folks. I hope you can find your way to recovery.

Are you implying that I personally can unilaterally fix the US’s shit?

Lol

I mean there are ignorant people everywhere in the world. It’s impossible to avoid them completely. That said I’m American and have only rarely received harassment due to my nationality. But I haven’t been abroad yet this year so I can’t speak to how the atmosphere has change since Trump 2.

Better solution is just to explain to people that we don’t support what’s going on and we’re subject to our government against our will just like they are.

They’re still restricting aid into Gaza? Why aren’t more people talking about this?

I think you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying—which, to be fair, I didn’t articulate in much detail.

I understand why it’s a problem under capitalism. But that’s sort of the whole point I’m making. We’ve created an economic system with all of these perverse incentives. We need to create an economic system where living can become more affordable for people without causing economic chaos, and where we aren’t held hostage to the economic interests of the extremely rich.

What if we had an economy that thrived when food and shelter become cheaper? What if the economic pain was inflicted on the well-off when the poorer in society started doing worse, instead of the other way around? If we could engineer such a system, our leaders would make much different decisions, I think.

Basically every nation unfortunately.

Imagine creating an economic system where basic necessities becoming more affordable is considered a crisis. And then gaslighting everyone into thinking this system is so perfect and wonderful and there’s no way it could ever be better.
