If they formed their own state they'd be worse off than Mississippi

Hey now, no need for exaggeration! It takes decades if not centuries of extreme corruption and bigotry to get THAT awful. You don't get a title fight as your first bout.

The irony of decrying conservative ignorance in the same comment as suggesting a "solution" based on conservative ignorance of the difference between a household or business and a government 🤦

Conversely, as democracy is perverted by moneyed interests, government will more and more resemble the will of the short sighted shareholders obsessed with the next quarterly gains. Leading to a useful idiot government selling the country to corporations through regulatory capture and privatization.

That's what happened in the real world. Not the will of the broader populace, but the will of the few people who pay the politicians in charge of both parties.

Electing competent leaders always seemed like a much better plan

Agreed. If only there had been any to choose from. Instead you get a choice between "maintain the fire burning down your house and sometimes stoke it" and "throw gasoline on it" 😮‍💨

He claims to be an incel but then brags about how being celibate is him making a great choice, which would make him a volcel.

Toxic piece of shit either way, though.

Throw them at passersby?

Faces will be cheap though

Dr Victor Frankenstein will be thrilled!

Literally doing their jobs ≠ "tap dancing for your satisfaction"

It's amazing how you apparatchiks keep shifting the burden of responsibility from the ones failing to do their job of governing and campaigning according to the will of the people to the people for failing to reward them for their failure.

The fire has been burning worse and worse since 1980 at the latest and, far from putting it out, Dem leadership has maintained it and sometimes stoked it.

What you're asking for isn't democracy, it's serfdom.

And because the Dems know that if the Republicans became less of a threat, they'd have to start listening to their voters more than their owner donors to get elected.

Real ones ogle volumes with their spouses.

Big tech: "Don't be ridiculous! Think of the shareholder dividends!"

Roughly half, as of mid October last year. I don't think anyone has a clear picture of the current proportions, for obvious reasons.

That's just a longer way of saying "reward them for taking games away while you can"..

a Republican with strong conservative views

Translation from cowardly media speak to accurate English: a Fascist.

shifting the agency’s focus from consumer protections to reducing ISP regulations and targeting Big Tech.

Translation: giving it the Louis DeJoy treatment and extorting the big tech companies NOT currently fellating Trump until they start doing so.

Captain Ancap is useful for exactly one thing: whatever he does, the opposite is always the right thing to do.

He's the Argentine version of Piers Morgan's opinions, except the latter is at least right about gun control.

This is pretty much an open letter to Biden.

Anyone who's paying attention knows that not much happens before the Empire takes its responsibility as self-appointed masters of the world seriously, and nobody is under any illusions that the incoming administration is not going to make everything much worse if allowed to.

This part is also very typical:

An Arab taxi driver was also attacked by mobs who appeared to be with the Israeli fans, although police said they couldn't identify the nationality of the attackers as no arrests were made.

Had it been an Arab mob attacking an Israeli taxi driver, you BET there'd have been arrests!

Hell, if it had happened in the US, the taxi driver would probably have been arrested for bruising the knuckles of the Israelis with bogus charges of "resisting arrest" and "assaulting a police officer" tacked on to increase the length of their sentence!

Remove Your Media LLC (RYM) is believed to have acted frequently on Crunchyroll's behalf, per testimony on social media and an extensive report by Anime Motivation this year. RYM is also among the top six most active reporting companies in the world (placing fifth), with over 680 million URLs reported. The top six included Link-Busters.com (1.52 billion links reported), MG Premium Ltd. (966 million), Rivendell (900 million), comeso GmbH (728 million) and BPI/British Recorded Music Industry Ltd (627 million).

I'll take entities that the world would be better without for 100, Alex.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the content the same content that they semi-recently made impossible to access in any legal way? The stuff that they're refusing to even sell access to?

Because if so, they can fuck right off even more than most copyright hawks.

If by "grab", you mean "pirate". Don't reward them for taking games away.
