Seeing ICE fascists getting fucked and losing out on their bonus is funny to me. Maybe it wasn’t clear but I was specifically talking about that part.

Kinda hilarious if it wasn’t for the innocent victims of their violence.

As far as I can tell there is actually a big surge right now. They just stopped making idiotic trolly social media posts about it, and people are bored of it so the media is reporting on it less.

In my area (Northern California) this is by far the highest level of ICE activity we’ve seen so far.

Let’s all try to bring more attention to this. We need more people protesting, monitoring/filming ICE, basically creating as much attention and friction as possible.

In most areas, there are activists organizing to track ICE activity so I highly recommend volunteering with them. In my area NorCal Resist is the most prominent organization doing this work but if you’re elsewhere I am sure you could find a similar group with a web search.

Agreeing with communism = peak liberalism. Makes perfect sense.

I mean no (developed, non-indigenous) society has successfully implemented communism. I don’t think that should be a controversial statement. So is it that wild to say you don’t know how to implement it, even as a communist? The only reason it would seem that way is if you’ve taken the writings of communist thinkers not as theoretical proposals but as scripture that cannot be incorrect.

There’s nothing to check. Everyone knows the US isn’t a signatory to the ICC. What possible justification could there be to even look into?

Plus from my recollection he was pretty adamant about out. It wasn’t like “I doubt it’s possible but I’m going to turn over every legal stone just in case.” It was something he campaigned on doing.

I mean you’d have to be extremely stupid to think it’s legal to just arrest people without any domestic legal justification. Did he really not know?

I mean it kinda is but the reality is people aren’t going to go backwards. However, that doesn’t mean we need to make the problem dramatically worse. I seriously doubt we’ll all be traveling this way but if we are it’s because we decided to value our convenience over the lives of the young and the poor.

Then they should study that directly rather than how to better waste huge amounts of fuel making the lives of the rich more convenient at the expense of everyone else’s survival.

More efficient than standard air travel? I seriously doubt that’s possible but I guess it would be less bad then.

I don’t really see how this could be used for anything else but even then it’s hard to see how the benefits would outweigh the harms of enabling climate arson.

This should be considered terrorism against the climate. There’s absolutely no need for this technology beyond convenience for the rich and privileged.

Is this a real article?

I agree though. Removing snarky low-effort stuff like this isn’t really a problem.

lol it’s true. My mom sends me screenshots of AI chats every fucking day.

No one is above the law

Every single branch of government at almost every level has said otherwise but OK.

People need to get real about the state of American law and our relative status before it. If we spoke truth about this I think people would be a lot more angry about this than they are.

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.
