Okay mods I'll be civil this time. Since voting does nothing positive and only serves as a cudgel for politicians to claim that they legitimately represent their subjects, then if you only voted, it is slightly more useless than doing literally nothing.
Bret McGurk was literally just on CNN... BIDEN'S GUY!... and basically endorsed the strikes. NOTHING WOULD HAVE CHANGED IF WE VOTED FOR HARRIS. WHEN WILL YOU GET THIS THROUGH YOUR THICK FUCKING SKULL?!?
A Harris presidency wouldn't be threatening nuclear action.
Sure they would. They'd just keep it out of the public eye. Otherwise, we'd dismantle all our nukes. Keeping them is a threat enough.
The entire system needs tossed. And if that's what you mean then say that.
I did, and I say that all the time. I'm openly an anarchist đ´đ´đ´.
All this "Harris is the same" just promotes apathy at best, and derision between the left and liberals at worst at a time where unity is needed and doesn't even hint at "the system is broken".
Yes you absolutely should be apathetic to the circus of two-party politics. Of course we shouldn't be apathetic to the brutal realities of capitalism, but both parties already are, and following the "circus" at all directs attention away from the reality of capitalism because that's what it's designed to do.
And do not get me started on liberals and their derision. It literally does not matter how nice and flowery leftists make our ideas, liberals will always shit on them and side with the fash until they stop being liberals, because liberals are creatures of the right. So at some point, we gotta put our feet down and say "This is what we stand for, and if you're against that, you're against us." I'm willing to make "supporting one of the genocidaires is bad and should not be done" one of those things.
I watch a lot of true crime. Over the years I've come to the conclusion that the cops are just really shitty at anything that isn't just violence, so they rarely do good detective work even when someone gets hurt or killed either. So many cases are ruined by sloppy or negligent detective work that we know about. Since we know that the cops are systematically not doing the detective work for most other crimes, imagine how bad it is for violent crimes and they just don't keep track...
I feel like the signal processing community is really passionate about their work. It comes out in their books. I know I can talk for hours and hours and hours about signal processing. And my DSP professor was like that too. That was such a fun class.
RIP to Mr. Ah Loo. This shouldn't have fucking happened, and hopefully there will be accountability for this. Beyond that, I'm going to hold off on commenting until more details come out.
