Given that the US is a fascist state at the moment and that Reddit is an American media company that has to navigate in that country where propaganda and free speech suppression is so present that seems to be a given.

Ah, the old “glorifying violence” eh?

Pretty much the same that and people reporting my every comment after I wrote a few negative comments on Trump and Musk.

The problem stopping distribution to where stuff is needed is money, the people who have it, the people who owe it, the funny patterns it makes on stock markets, in hedge funds etc.

Money was ok as a means to allow people to exchange their different trades into things they need to live. But it has moved so far beyond that it has become ridiculous.

This a thousand times. The world is throwing away resources at an astounding rate while people are sick, homeless and starving because of numbers on digital ledgers. We need to drop the whole idea of money. It’s served its purpose, run its course and has since turned into a life on this planet threatening perversion.

I admit not obeying traffic rules all the time when cycling. When I break rules I do so when it is safe. Often there is a choice between the rules and safety. Some bike lanes are unsafe and need to be avoided. Sometimes I break rules in the interest of conserving momentum, because building speed takes effort. I only do so when it is safe. As a cyclist I have a good view of traffic around me and I can often get off the road if necessary, which cars can’t.

I’m not going to go through the red light when there are cars passing through… That would be stupid.

I admit that I got banned from Reddit. I suspect that after saying a bunch of stuff that was unfriendly to lord Musk, to Netanyahu and to Hamas. Since then I seem to have gotten even the most innocent comments reported, leading to a permaban.

Certainly is, it must hurt even more when you put in all the effort to do things officially and jump through all the hoops and then they send you to an El Salvador torture camp anyway. Because that is what actually happens. They just slap some bogus charge on you if people complain about it, to make the deportation seem warranted.

You mean illegal migrants get deported less than legal ones because they’re harder to find?

Could the bill be used to base measures on that help combat climate change? Sometimes idiots are actually useful.

At first yes, but then it grew on her.

Yes but so is wet cardboard so that is not a high bar. I never understood why people liked oreos. They’re really shitty biscuits, the only thing good about them is the marketing. I think I ate two in my life. The first because people hyped them up, the second because I could not believe they were quite as bad as I remembered because people still seemed to eat them of their own free will. They were actually as bad as they were the first time.

He stayed quiet and went in hiding, Trump can’t for the life of him, do that.

Even if the US government went though a lot of trouble faking his death and relocating him he’d be bragging about it on twitter before the end of the week.

Has he created a movement, or has there been a movement that has attracted him? As I see it, it’s not just him it’s most of the current GOP leadership, Thiel and the Heritage foundation, Citizens United and a few adjacent organizations that need to go before you can go to a somewhat reasonable functioning society in the US. And frankly the way some Democrats react to the New York primary, they also seriously need to clean house.

Well it can’t have hurt that the beast owned a magical castle.

Of course it’s a distraction “panem et circenses” for the people! It’s so close to old Rome you might throw in a Roman salute here and there.

People who saw project 2025 for what it was were not caught by surprise at all. Trump himself barely matters, it people like Peter Thiel and the heritage foundation who write policy. They need the US to fall apart and they don’t mind helping Putin a bit along the way.

Trump often reminds me of the Galactic President from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

“Only six people in the Galaxy knew that the job of the Galactic President was not to wield power but to attract attention away from it.”

So they choose someone flamboyant and zany and scandalous who will give the press nice headlines and good repeatable quotes.

They thought trucks that had transitioned to male would molest the kids instead of just crushing them like the Ford intended? Ridiculous!

Yeah it’s weird, and if there are elections popular opposition candidates will face a fate like mr Navalny, I’m afraid. Much as I would like AOC as a US president, I think at this point, she needs to run for her life rather than for president. And believe me, I truly hate that this is the case.

She is an amazing person and a fantastic leader. However she is the kind of person the fascists fear and she is also the right shade of skin to earn a one way ticket to El Salvador.

You see the people clamoring for the deportation of mr Mamdani, and he is at this point nothing more than one party’s possible candidate for mayor of one town. Imagine what would happen if ms Ocasio-Cortez were an actual presidential candidate!?

Even now I worry about her safety often. Same for that wonderful ms Crockett, mr Frost and a few others.

And did worship their glorious leader, attacked intellectual, demanded absolute loyalty and caused a great famine… Oh yes Trump’s still working on the last bit. But tanking agriculture and making foreign import harder will get you there I’m sure.
