Sorry but this isn't a mildly infuriating post.

I think it should be legal to do exactly one free punch on anyone who does a nazi salute.

A blue state with the population of texas, lets see how that affects congress.

Man, real countries are doing this shit while the US is doing an illegal war on the thought crime of being"woke".

The purpose of the government is to ensure nobody can say "woke" stuff, apparently.

Who did that? I'd like to meet a 2024 green voter

C'mon man, there weren't even enough green votes to pretend they mattered

Terrorism twins

I think the atomization of society shows that its not just a desire but that independence is a social pressure. "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is the air we breathe. Thats why business people like musk deny they got say, emerald mine money; the social pressure to seem self reliant is far greater than the social pressure to tell the truth

Ok now where are the mods to add elon musk's face to one of them?

Many states have done things like that. the problem is for the feds its all defined in the constitution so getting an overwhelming majority to agree to limit power needs an overwhelming push.

Imo the best thing to do would be push for a constitutional amendment that creates an initiative system that fully bypasses congress.

People should get creative. Imagine if they backed up every sewer in DC

The Patrick Stars of the internet. All 37 of them.

That is the mindset that got us here. Maybe it will help to double down, but the reality is we don't know, we're in uncharted waters

Twitter was ad driven and was enshittifying before musk bought it, and sold because they were a public company.

Jay Graber will likely get bored and sell it off or monetize eventually but twitter is definitely not the model here.

What would a comparable example be?

Until there's overt advertising its unlikely to enshittify the normal way. That doesn't mean it won't, just that a different capital process is at work. Wikipedia has outlived most of "web2.0" because its funded by donations and run by volunteers.

The people who say this tend to forget that if you only take the "good things" from conservatism it ceases to be conservatism. The conservative ideology is garbage and only leads countries to a sort of destructive cannabalism.
