  • What people fail to see is that we need billionaires to consume all the wealth we make, otherwise we wouldn't know what to spend it on. /s

  • To think, all they had to do was appeal to the lurking bigotry within societies to bring them out and normalize that sort of language. They are sort of screwed if they think they aren't sliding into a world where the evangelicals being radicalized and increasingly in control of the nation financing and supplying it will come asking for their pound of flesh when the shift into a theocratically-narrative-driven oligarchy is established, and then take the whole body.

  • Literally an appeal to terrorism, it was the right move.

  • glub glub glub glub

  • They must have taken into account the future inflation rates when they expect to receive the payment..

  • The people that end up cashing in from those scams are the same people that end up supporting Trump & Musk.

  • He's literally doing the same thing the platform owners are, just in the other direction. Well, except for the blocking part (unless you count shadowbans), but you can just lower the rating score to very low, same thing.

  • Social networks are crazy. It's like they appeared and suddenly journalistic integrity does not matter anymore because your easily shaped feelings is equal to their fact.

  • Even if there is no attempt to kill you, the physical abuse and attempts to force you into vulnerable and risky situations will, and you are already vulnerable. Maybe you can contact some form of social service or disability services and report the circumstances. Some guides suggest contacting the police, but it wouldn't be my first option - maybe try to contact probono lawyers who could help you like this https://www.ohiojusticefoundation.org/tom-and-gerry-cincinnati-attorneys-contribute-hundreds-of-hours-of-pro-bono-service/ in case things get serious. Leave a trail that indicates that the threat has been made. You can also try to get in contact with organizations like Ohio Democrats, but do so quietly. I'd try to lay low if I were you until you can move out, maybe even just throw them a bone by trying to virtue signal their cult thinking until you can get away safely. Definitely clear or hide your browsing and account history so they can't trace it back to posts like this, and maybe just leave a less threatening persona account that if they do find they would have less of an issue with.

  • Ok gaslighter

    Yeah, the US elections have a high chance of losing, largely due to large disinformation campaigns not unlike the one your comment forms a part of.

  • Don't let them fool you, they are voting for him because he's an asshole and they are assholes like them. It's an epidemic in the US.

  • It's funny that the term they ingratiated themselves with is derived from expatriate, which generally is several times more concerning than the term immigrant because of how it much more closely implies relinquishing nationality. Or just from how the wording sounds - ex, or no longer being, a patriot - although it is on par with how much more "American" some people seem to consider sovereign citizens being than democrats.

    The ridiculousness of a nation of immigrants to recognize that they have their own immigrants with their own goals and obstacles has led to the absurd and abusive treatment of the people termed "Accidental Americans" outside of the US.

  • Putting up cameras does shit with crime when it's managed by one central agency without crowdsourcing the effort, yes. It actually takes a lot of effort to go through false positives and all the footage, the sort of effort only the people who've been personally affected put into it, and even if you identify the portion where the culprit appears, that alone is not usually enough to identify them. It is still effective at identifying that a crime took place and to begin to define a profile of the culprit, and there are plenty of examples that prove how effective it from recordings on YouTube in countries where it is allowed. If it wasn't, retail stores wouldn't be putting them up.

    You are also miscomprehending the GDPR and recital 50, which refers to things like phone recordings you take, not security cam, which you aren't allowed to put and share in social networks under many circumstances but which is generally not enforced because random passerbys don't normally sue for breach of it, although you are allowed to retain and share with law enforcement. GDPR is even criticized for its SLAPP potential on journalists.

    Your take about GDPR allowing you to put up cameras is really wrong, and just about any simple search about putting up cameras and the GDPR will disprove it. If anyone really believes it, they will risk fines if neighbors or police want to be assholes (assuming you aren't trying to be one yourself). It's a shame you decided to weigh in in such an issue in a way that disinformed readers to such an extent.

  • "You can't use insults against us, only we can!" basically. I'd complain about this normalizing a new low if Trump wasn't sinking way past insurrection this time around.

  • France is getting UK style surveillance without none of the benefits and rights allowed in public spaces for brits.

    That's the thing about GDPR in the EU, in terms of surveillance, it's taking the right away from citizens for their own personal surveillance to at least be able to bring to the police to identify culprits, but has no qualms about allowing the greater risk that the GDPR was supposed to prevent, misuse and widescale of personal data. First it was when they stepped back the web regulations so websites can push personalized tracking onto users in the guise of forced personalized ads or absurd payment methods plans per site, and now they continue to show they don't mind mass surveillance.

    I get the impression that the GDPR in the EU is slowly being corrupted to prevent us from being able perform surveillance so that authorities minimize the risk of getting recorded doing something that they shouldn't or calling out abusive practices while increasingly allowing our personal data to be abused. Rather than have a surveillance state that puts our personal data at risk next time they get hacked, it is also possible to allow the means and the regulations for us to record criminal behavior and present it to the authorities when needed, in a decentralized, non-cloud, non-shared way that would be much more secure than this.
