Tyrants are also usually to blame for the asylum seekers in small boats. The irony knifes me. They’re often seeking asylum because they’re fleeing a tyrant, and the response of the countries they try to find safe harbor in is to turn themselves into the very type of tyranny they were fleeing.
I’m still waiting for people to realise that we live in corporate dictatorships with the illusion of democracy; you can vote for whoever you want, but the oligarch-financed candidates are statistically guaranteed to win a majority 90+% of the time, coz capitalism.
People having this realization and solidarity amongst the common folk are the only way to we have a hope of fighting this pile of shit back.
It’s still nowhere near a guarantee of a win, and it’s made monumentally more difficult by the oligarchs plotting to divide us up (using the politicians and social media platforms they own) but it’s the only chance we have.
The billionaires who are scapegoating gays and minorities just like they almost always do.
Dude is like the construction crew from the movie the money pit with his constant refrain of two weeks.
The cool factor isn’t even there for me. These clowns look like they’re smoking an iPod.
Isn’t this the same psycho whose reaction to Minnesota politicians being assassinated was conspiracy theories?
Yet another thing to throw on the giant pile of shit nobody is going to do anything about ever.
Don’t let your hatred of Trump and Reagan and your knowledge of physics blind you to the better points of what could be achieved by boiling the earths oceans!
Eh, it was actually their second attempt. Their first one failed pretty hard (the articles of Confederacy) so they made adjustments. I think they would be shocked that we stuck with their second attempt this long (and through a civil war, no less).
IIRC, in the first attempt the federal government was much weaker overall and the state governments had their own executives and stuff and the whole thing kinda wound up being a bureaucratic nightmare. In their second attempt they thought it might be best to have a reasonably powerful executive.
They were naive in some ways and definitely made mistakes and were racist slavers and genocidal generally speaking, but yeah.
Just what Canada needs: a military industrial complex grift program that’ll never work. What an incentive!
There’s still a problem. You’re just not measuring it anymore.
So, no, it’s very much not fucking working.
Yep always silence the messenger, that’ll fix it! 👍
🤞 there are mechanical difficulties with it
Oh, I don’t want you to become like Afghanistan either. Nearly every insurgent is the product of a fucking tragedy.
I actually don’t know what I’d do as an American if Trump started a war with Canada.
They won’t need to. A war with Canada will be our Ukraine. It’ll make Afghanistan and Iraq look like walks in the park.
Yup my parents showed me decades worth of libertarian propaganda without even realizing – even in retrospect – that is what it was.
I can’t really blame them because like you’re saying we’re experts at it.
Constitutions without a mechanism of enforcement are just a piece of paper. Much of what is occurring in the United States right now is absurdly unconstitutional, but it doesn’t matter because the institutions – that are full of living, breathing humans – all ignore it.
