If you're gonna drop this kind of comment please get in the habit of sourcing your claims. No one should take your word for this without at least knowing where your claims are coming from, show your sources.

I assume you are getting this from amnesty international reports.

During World War II, in which he was rejected for military service, he was associated with the left wing of the British Labour party, but didn't much sympathise with their views, for even their reckless version of socialism seemed too well organised for him. He wasn't much affected, apparently, by the Nazi brand of totalitarianism, for there was no room within him except for his private war with Stalinist communism. Consequently, when Great Britain was fighting for its life against Nazism, and the Soviet Union fought as an ally in the struggle and contributed rather more than its share in lives lost and in resolute courage, Orwell wrote Animal Farm which was a satire of the Russian Revolution and what followed, picturing it in terms of a revolt of barnyard animals against human masters. He completed Animal Farm in 1944 and had trouble finding a publisher since it wasn't a particularly good time for upsetting the Soviets. As soon as the war came to an end, however, the Soviet Union was fair game and Animal Farm was published. It was greeted with much acclaim and Orwell became sufficiently prosperous to retire and devote himself to his masterpiece, 1984.

I did not know it was finished in 1944, that is wild, no wonder it's taught in American schools.

I have better things to do with my time, then debate MMT on lemmy, or debate on lemmy in general.

Everyone in the US is affected, regardless of whether they pay federal taxes, or how much. Not only “taxpayers” are affected. US federal taxes pay for literally nothing. Not figuratively: literally.

Regardless of whether I agree with MMT this is a much more useful thing to do vs linking two posts with no explanation

And fyi I have engaged with MMT enough to know I disagree with it, I have read Michael Hudson and engaged with podcasts with people who subscribe to it.

Why don't you explain why you think this so if someone read this they would understand what you are even saying, instead of linking to a graph and a post about Milei with no explanations, I'm not reading that and I guarentee other people aren't either.

And if this an MMT thing, I flatly disagree with MMT, so agree to disagree I guess.

Who knows what Eric Adams is gonna do though, he has been meeting with the Trump team to see about getting pardoned, so he might do something pretty messed up if they find some arcane way he can help ICE as mayor.

Just use a fake email then. You don't have to do a confirmation.

You can give any fake email like aaaaa @ gmail . com and it will let you through

There is also a list published by the Trump White House

I would just type "photo editor" into F-Droid and browse, nothing on F-Droid will have ads. If you don't have F-Droid installed follow this.

I still wouldn't advocate for executing them, obviously they should not be let back into society, but I really don't see the point in killing them, it doesn't change what they did, but as human beings they should at least have the right to live even though they denied that from other people.

I think it just feels worse in this hyper-capitalistic society, that everyone else is out working while they are "taken care of" by the state, but I think the better answer to that would be to create a society that isn't so dire, that it doesn't seem like prisoners are getting free handouts, as opposed to just killing the prisoners, as "it isn't fair they get to live off the taxes of their victims".

I probably wouldn't go to a protest of their execution, I probably also wouldn't protest people killing CEOs, just in terms of the operations of a state, I don't think corporal punishment is ever worth it currently.

I'm sympathetic to people who were talking directly to a federal agent, except in the case of pedophilia. God forbid they just arrest the person for running an illegal business and not try to entrap them. By doing that they probably contributed to him getting the pardon in the first place.

I would just make a substack or a self hosted ghost website unless you're really invested in the development process.

I would just look at sites like https://apnews.com/ or https://www.bbc.com/ and see what they do, but I don't think you technically need anything, plenty of people have wordpress blogs and substacks without a legal section. What's the difference between your website vs a twitter account vs a substack where you live, probably not very much.

Absolutely, he did pardon the vast majority of them, but the deaths of the remaining are on his hands, especially for someone who "doesn't believe in the death penalty". I haven't looked into the specifics of the 3 people he didn't pardon, but no matter what they did life in prison makes more sense than executing them in the richest country on the planet.

Amazing that he can simultaneously want to close both borders to prevent drugs coming in and then pardons the architect of the biggest drug selling website of the time. I would prefer the vast majority of people in prison including Ulbricht to be rehabilitated, and not locked up, but that is some real cognitive dissonance.

Maybe Joe Biden is saving doing the public option for his 2nd term in 2028.

Donald Trump specifically has a long history with being friends with gay men, his mentor Roy Cohn was a closeted gay man (althought it was a very open secret) who died of Aids all the time denying he was gay, there was a movie released in 2024 called The Apprentice the delves into this. There is also other media made about Cohn like the play Angels in America.

It wasn't shitty dw. I just think it's important to use precise language when the action is targeted at a precise group of people. It is a reality that Peter Theil is a leading right winger and Trump nominated a gay man for treasurery secretary, things have changed from the Obama era where that would have been unthinkable.

I don't even think that he cares about "the gays", it's pretty specifically targeted at trans and other non binary people, his coalition has quite a few openly gay men in it.

I don't really think there is any harm in it, the people who are only going to show up for a symbolic protest would only show up for a symbolic protest. And the people who would show up to both this and more meaningful protests will still show up for more meaningful protests.
