Yes but it would have to be extremely limited to major crises that can only be realistically managed at a global scale. Wars, climate change, etc. It shouldn’t be trying to run your local library or tell you what clothes you’re allowed to wear. It would also have to be largely voluntary with participation incentivized by carrots instead of sticks.

In fact, I’d say there shouldn’t be one global government but several. A new and independent one could be formed for each specific situation that merited it, and then it would be dissolved when or if it was no longer needed. This might be slightly less efficient but it would prevent scope creep from turning into authoritarianism like we’ve seen with the US government.

Nah they won’t cause we’re gonna win. We’ve done it before and we can do it again. Fascism will be defeated.

The US military would remove him from power. If it even got that far.

Bankrupt these fuckers.

Damn 50% is crazy. This is why despite all their work building tons of renewables, China remains a climate villain.

I believe most of them are on YouTube if that helps.

Obviously a factor but the article notes a huge rollout over the past year. So it seems like that could have started previously. It’s not like the US has stopped interfering.

Definitely not the ideal way to implement a transition off of oil but inspiring nonetheless.

I do wonder why Cuba didn’t make greater efforts to turn to solar in years past. If they had, they could have avoided some, though probably not all, of this pain.

All the more reason not to put these in residential areas…

Instance shaming?! Despicable, that’s basically fascism.

I don’t think it’s entirely socially constructed. Testosterone has a clear scientific link to aggressive behavior.

Is there a way to not require a Microsoft account? That’s why I haven’t upgraded.

Harder maybe but it’s clearly doable. We have a number of options now. And it’s not like they’ve had to make them hyper-aerodynamic or anything. Just took a little more advanced battery tech.

Yeah the electric pickup is such a no brainer for the US market and it was one of the first.

But what if it was horribly ugly and made everyone hate you? Surely it will sell even better then!

Really? I see chuds driving them all over my town unfortunately. Admittedly far less popular than other Tesla vehicles though which are absolutely everywhere here in CA. Seems like most people forgot Musk is a nazi already.

ICE doesn’t use plates though and they change vehicles a lot… might be harder than tracking grandma on the way to church.

But yeah I’ve been having the same thoughts. A citizen-maintained network of cameras that publishes a live map of known ice locations would be pretty useful.

I’d hazard a guess that the US kills a lot more civilians than a typical country.

ANSP or ACP?

Isn’t this just boomers retiring?

Policing by its own goals is terrorism. It seeks to influence the public’s behavior and politics through violence. If there is a coherent definition of the word, it’s that.

Now you may think Cuban terrorism is justified. But it still fits the definition.

Personally I find it hard to believe that all ~90,000 prisoners were imperialists but I haven’t confirmed that they’re not…

PS: I saw your tag but there was no point in responding due to the infestation of thought police in that community.
