This is just not in any way accurate. Free speech means the government cannot penalize anyone for speech with specific narrow exceptions. Deporting them for such speech is obviously penalizing them. Laws or no, this is unconstitutional.

I don’t think it will be enough but I’ll be happy to be proven wrong.

But what kind of support are they going to offer that changes the outcome?

Doubtful but all other public lands yes.

No I’m not.

The difference is I don’t attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance.

Read the survey again. We are talking about the full population, not only young people.

I just want people to understand that just because many people on Lemmy love Luigi doesn't mean there's some secret silent majority in real life that does too. Most people don't want to see people shot down in the streets, regardless of who they are. It makes them feel like they or their family might be next.

I think they framed the story that way because to boomers the level of support among younger people is the most shocking thing about this poll. To those of us in that demographic it seems a strange way to do it because that's just how it is for us, so it's not that noteworthy.

Yeah part of me wants to think I am immune but I think that's my cognitive bias at work. But I do think I'm more skeptical than the average person, even if I'm not completely immune. People who think about and recognize these issues might have an extra layer of defense, if imperfect.

Yeah but few people seem to have this ability. I'm not sure it's human nature. People tend to uncritically accept the opinions and statements of their peers as fact.

Maybe you are exceptional and this doesn't apply but I tend to think it applies to everyone to some extent.

Ah yes. The vibes. Always reliable. Except it's actually 61% negative. Should I accuse you of lying now?

It's actually 19%, including both levels of support. Reading is hard for people I guess.

And for the record, 61% held a negative view. So OP is completely correct here.

I mean it did to an extent, but voters forgot by election time. Since we’re far off from one I agree with the overall sentiment though.

After all these years, people still don’t understand echo chambers.

This is no arrest. It's kidnapping. There is not even the flimsiest of legal justifications for these abductions.

Won’t shed any tears for him but I wonder what this means for the balance of power in the Philippines? Will we see the rise of a new Marcos regime as potential rivals are targeted? This one comes with a pretty solid excuse in its international origin but I hope it’s not the start of something darker.

All means all, it’s not meant to be curated.

That said, it sounds like you are suggesting more of another sorting algorithm. Could be a neat idea.

I believe when it says removed by Reddit that means it was not a mod action, it was admins or more likely some automated Reddit algorithm.

Place the blame where it belongs.

I know people like to pretend that every institution in the world is controlled by the US but this is certainly not true for the ICC.

That said, the US has maintained a very threatening posture towards the court so they might fear a reprisal even if they’re not directly controlled.

Honestly while Rubio sucks and it’s not really his place to say this, it’s hard to imagine any peace deal that doesn’t have involve territorial concessions. It’s up to Ukrainians to decide whether that or continuing the war is worse but I just don’t see any other options. Ultimately, Russia has to agree to end the war somehow.

I’m staying to be a fediverse evangelist. Someone’s got to upvote all of Blaze’s posts.

I’ve not heard about this. Can you provide more information?
