  • I thought they put the terrorist charge on him precisely to avoid requiring a jury as part of all the rights privileges we surrendered post 9/11 in the name of... Pffff... National security.

    National security being hilarious considering the CEOs are still walking the streets free, murdering citizens for profit having never not being actively sucked off by legislators that passed the patriot act and similar legislation.

    The murderous Shareholders are already inside the house. They own the house. You can barely afford to rent it from them.

  • Yep.

    This and virtually all countries were founded by people who would fit the definition of terrorist.

    How history remembers you is solely on the basis of how successful your "terrorism" was.

    George Washington is a very well regarded terrorist in modernity.

  • That's literally all they've been doing since Reagan.

    acting like an opposition party.

    It took way too long, but that's why you can't drum up the numbers anymore, all but the thickest of skulls have finally realized that Democrat and Republican are both just big corpo, bickering over the social issue symptoms of our rigged economy and society as they maintain the economy and it's perverse incentives as it is, on the same take by the same oligarchs.

    At least Republicans throw their horrible voters a bone, "Oh you hate the other? we'll be cruel to them to entertain you and tickle your schaudenfreude fancy!"

    Democrats get nothing for their troubles. We're told it's our duty.

    Meanwhile, killing your own non wealthy customers for moar profit? R👍D👌

  • I don't bullshit with a big fake smile, and that's all Americans are willing to buy, so no, I don't have what they want to buy to sell.

    You're the one that started with trees and traffic lamps as paramount issues. I started with the capitalist rot, the blight that creates or informs all others. Clearly traffic lights and trees are your top ticket items. Good for you I guess. And we can barely do anything, so I always find it hilarious when you guys talk about us doing many things at once. We can't. We've proven we can't. The signature legislative achievement in most of our lifetimes was a healthcare bandaid that further enshrined the profit for murder capitalists into the system we begged them to remove and end as an industry. We the people aren't permitted to effect anything that would diminish private profits for the sake of the public, let alone several at once. Way, way, way too much credit being given.

    If we can't reshape our economy to start rewarding prosocial vocations like teachers and nurses and start actively punishing runaway avarice, very little, and none of the most destructive issues, can begin to be addressed. There is profit to me made in human cruelty and murder, so long as it rolls downhill exclusively.

  • Often it's religious nonsense to be fair. "My God has a bigger imaginary dick than your God and I want your people to be forced to pray to mine" is quite common, sadly.

    But obviously this is the other kind, exactly as you say. The rich being shocked and horrified there are consequences for their sociopathic inhumanity. "You cows are just supposed to line up for the captive bolt, you weren't supposed to kill the bolter! This is outrageous! it's unfair!"

  • Both parties are very serious...

    ...About keeping this economy and system exactly as it is, as they bicker over social wedges that don't meaningfully impact quarterly earnings expectations.

    They're both paid well by the same oligarchs to do so.

    If you wanted to see them scrambling to pass real legislation to protect the government from an incoming administration, you should have elected a leftist. You'd see Democrat and Republican reps holding hands, having sit ins, and desperately chanting we will overcome if an incoming administration was promising to dismantle for profit healthcare, for example.

    Don't worry though, they'd never let that happen. They have all the tools they need to prevent such a disaster as they see it. Their bribes would dry up overnight if they lost control of the narrative and their plebs.

    I love how neoliberals are always more concerned with street lamps and trees for the dwindling middle class areas while never bringing up our greatest sin you have no interest in addressing, housing all homeless without condition. That should come before all else, from the worst off citizens upward. They're dying right now, needlessly. While others live in their compact cars and try to reframe it as a lifestyle because a studio is out of reach.

    But they have no bribe checks, and serve capitalism as scarecrows. Dying of exposure, being legislated as not being allowed to exist at all even in supposed leftwing states.

    Fuck the pretty commons, the less poors are rooting for the deaths of more poors for the crime of lowering property values while being killed themselves by the rich they trusted, and some still sadly do, to do the right thing by them. But that's your priority.

    Honestly beautifying the commons in the areas protected from our most struggling, while our tent cities burst at the seams is beyond perverse.

  • Exactly. This isn't a mistake or incompetence, it's the point.

    It's what they're paid to do. War over social issue symptoms with their "opposition" to present a false choice to the rubes who believe they're "free," while protecting the completely captured economy exactly as it is... From the people suffering it.

  • The DNC is a right wing corpo puppet masquerading as opposition.

    They're far more comfortable with a fascist as President than they would a leftist like AOC.

    Stare at what their priorities are a month before Trump takes office, sabotaging their most leftwing members. Commuting the sentences of profiteer judges. Herp derp gotta keep moving right after all! (just an aside, I love the neoliberals defending Biden's corrupt pardons as "just senile/incompetent")

    Reminder: the only leftist congresspeople are spoiler candidates. The DNC promotes solely on the basis of how well you prove you can be bought by large money donors, which tells you all you need to know about who's side they're on. The same side as the Fascists on economic policy, as they get the same checks from the same oligarchs.

    I've voted blue for 20 years, with my nose held hoping for harm reduction. I phonebanked for Sanders in 2 campaigns. I already know it's all a sham. You can vote whoever you want as long as they're pro corpo capitalism. But in the 2028 primary, when I see the DNC yet again doing everything they can to kneecap a progressive to install a neoliberal, I'm walking away, as it's just another system of control. The illusion of choice.

    If the people won't overcome their "free market" propaganda and vote against the shape and priorities of this sociopath owned economy literally legally conning and murdering us for tidy profits, we can't be saved, and there's nothing worth saving left.

  • In the event of a crash, a soft gooey human is probably the least likely object that flies out of that car to seriously injure someone else, and if that gooey human hits anything the car is made of first, the gooey human loses and is just further bruised against things harder than a human.

    Can you point me to a single instance of someone being injured or died because the corpse of another human, and not hard metal, plastic, or glass was launched out of the vehicle and managed to hit them?

    Because that seems like a cartoonish outcome of a crash that's high speed enough to do so. Like one in a billion, about as likely as being next to a car crash and being killed by the shrapnel of the used gum that was under the seat.
