Honestly? I know who Chris Titus is. Never figured he'd not be a Trump supporter. Know nothing about him really, and I guess my impression of him was completely wrong. So...uhmmmmm...cool! Thanks for sharing!

I'm about 10 minutes into the first part. And, yeah, this is really really....idfk....fuck. Thanks. I'm really glad you shared this.

Edit:

The "mildly tangential ranting" on this comment I made yesterday I think is kinda relevant to this....if only tangentially....

I hope I can get your support in my personal life mission? I'm on a cerebral crusade of minds....I put a lot of personal effort into getting people to join me in calling it what it is....

Autoassume!

That's completely, unsurprisingly, typical.

Totally understand.

Yeah, it would take almost literally the whole rest of the world to stand up to the US. The military superiority difference between the US and everyone else is.... problematic. The US was always a bit of a bully as an ally, and part of the disparity is the fault of the rest of us, allowing the US to take the bulk of defence burden, and mil-tech development. It's turned allies into perceived client States in the view of people like Trump.

So yeah, if the only way to get Trump pulled up on this fascist shit is to have a global united front, and threaten WW3? We had better hope that there's enough people in the US military chain of command who recognise, and honour, that the oath they swore is to the constitution, and to protect it from threats foreign and domestic....and not an oath to Trump with the promise of Jackbooting the necks of the rest of the world. Otherwise, as the quote that's often attributed to Einstein goes:

I don't know what weapons might be used in World War III. But there isn't any doubt what weapons will be used in World War IV....

Stone spears.....

So basically, a death-and/or-El-Salvador concentration camp sentence for the person-that-would-be-helping

Point of correction here. A sentence to the El Salvador Concentration Camps IS a death sentence. The fact that there's currently no tangible proof that prisoner executions are happening is about the same as see a giant plume of thick black smoke rising off the city tire dump and saying that there's currently no tangible evidence that the fucker's burning.
Almost 100% guaranteed that if anyone eventually manages to investigate it properly there will be a whole bunch of mass graves.

I mean.... they've been pretty clear about it for several years now?

I'm not in school anymore....but I feel like Elon killing homework would have been widely applauded by students everywhere....

Probably about 3 weeks before the DGE Efficiency Cheques?

PR in whatever format helps mitigate the damage a sociopathic party can do, and more accurately represents the population...

It by no means eliminates every issue, but it definitely makes the impacts of any one group a lot softer.

This topic is pretty touchy for a whole lot of people. And one of the first things to go when shit gets....heated... reading and listening comprehension and uptake.

That said? Even though they assumed you were saying something you weren't, they have a valid point that needs repeating because for some reason people look at what DGE(fuck the O that's not how those work) is doing, and how fucked everything is getting down south, and go:
It's not the idea, it's the implementation that's flawed, we can do it properly!
Or they are happy to see our democracy burn for the sake of the Christofascist ethnostate they dream about, knowing that when everyone else is gassed they'll still be fine because they're the "right type of person!"

Almost like FPTP voting isn't suited for a political space with more than two parties....🤔

That's the American side of the border. Few blocks and a river too far to the south east.

I'm Métis, on the darker side, but mostly pass as white-enough. My mum and step-dad took us to meet his family in Indiana summer of 2002. We got picked for "random security checks" every leg of the journey, we were quite poor...so we had to make 4 transfers in the US. I've been back to the US a lot since then, I have family and friends down the way. Every time I went I get extra attention from TSA or border authority.
Just to put this into context, I now live in Scotland, you know....where they make white people. And not one single person I've interacted with thinks I'm not white. I was in London during the lockdowns, and had a shocking moment of realisation when an afro-brit aunty who was drunk and getting right close in line got a bit aggressive when I asked her politely to give me a bit of space.
She said to me:

You fucking white people!

And I was like....holy shit....of course the context from home isn't the context here...I'm not seen as anything but another white guy. It legitimately fucked my head for a week....

I'm not entirely sure we're missing out on all that much with a few porn instances missing.

....... obviously porn....you're missing the porn

CrossOver actually. Which is a paid packaging for wine, with a per-program configuration, kinda like Bottles...but paid. There's a load of quotes directly from the CrossOver parent company CEO.....

Wouldn't charging money for blue checks or adding a subscription leave them open to lawsuits? That's really the only reason I can think of, wanting to make money.

A fairly large portion of governments globally

My mum was at a party a few months before Pickton started being investigated, he was there and invited her to an after party at his. Luckily one of her friends knew his reputation for having Native women disappear from his property and warned her not to go.

When people say that the FN community feels hostile or standoffish to them, suspicious of them...they never seem to remember that we're still actively being oppressed in a lot of ways. There's almost never an admission to the wrongs still being committed against the First Nations people in Canada and the US.

Yeah, samesies. Which is why I mentioned it. Try and give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but that only goes so far.

The person you're replying to has reeeeaaally bad takes, and have shown little understanding or willingness to learn. They're a troll. If they weren't pissing off basically everyone they interact with I'd say they were possibly a foreign (or domestic far-right) actor. I think the reality is that they're ignorant and proud of it.
