Not in any way that matters.

Okay but it has. The party as a whole moves a glacial pace because the bulk of the population still holds the same neo-liberal beliefs that they did eight years ago, but the left has been very quickly (in political terms) growing and flexing its muscles, considering it's a minority group. Give it time, these kinds of shifts can take decades.

If the rebels in question include several state governments then they may indeed be nuclear capable.

With every party involved being nuclear capable?

Just to clarify, the government is not specifically targeting dictionaries. They passed broad laws regarding acceptable content in school libraries and some teachers have been enforcing them very strictly as a for of protest.

Hey now, there is a distinction to be made between rednecks and hillbillies. Rednecks fly the stars and bars, hillbillies fuck their daughters.

English can be difficult for western Europeans because it is the mutant child of both Germanic and Latin based languages that picks and chooses which words and rules to use at random.

Nothing

Connect is a mobile app for Lemmy. That is quite a nice stick.

I have you tagged on Connect as "ask about the stick", and so now I must ask, about the stick?

Oh there is absolutely poverty. I'm specifically referencing what the commenter above me was discussing, which is a trend on social media of finding a bad area of town, taking pictures from 40 different angles, and presenting it as though American cities are nothing but miles upon miles of tent encampments and despair. I will admit I have only ever lived in the rust belt, so it may very well be like that in other places, but in general you see one or two small areas of extreme poverty mixed with working class, a few rough-ish neighborhoods adjacent to those, and the rest is pretty quiet, if not always the most affluent. By your description, it sounds like Chinese law enforcement keeps closer tabs on people through mass surveillance rather than active patrolling. Personally I'd rather have more crime and fewer government CCTVs, but to each their own.

Propaganda. Every city has one or two neighborhoods (usually full of working class minorities) where police dump the homeless and addicts from everywhere else. Each of those areas has one or two particularly bad streets that look like shit and make for great fear mongering.

Another American here, currently stuck living in the great state of Ohio. I keep a bag under my bed with a change of clothes, a few cans of food, a wad of cash, a pistol, and a passport. I may be fucked, but I've got some friends in Quebec that might be able to save my ass.

Nobody hates you, we're just sick of idealists in a time when we need pragmatists.

Your political positions are inane and childish, please keep them in your head until you graduate high school.

Wrong, they're there to represent their constituents, who seem quite content with all the fuckery the GOP has been pulling.

There is, but that only prevents the government from acting as a religious organization. It doesn't prevent a group of private citizens from deciding to vote only for religious extremists, thereby filling all the lower offices with theocrats who slowly work their way up the chain until until they control the federal government. All the way they pay lip service to religious freedom until they have the numbers and authority to do away with it.
