Let's be real, the military is going to intervene next year because its purpose isn't to uphold the Constitution, it's to protect the status quo as it is in every country that has one. When this all pops off into a civil war, they'll take over whether the Posse Comitatus Act is a thing or not.

They're the ones with all the guns, and the ones with the guns make the rules.

White rice is bland and disgusting regardless of what you put on it.

It should, but it won't because it's run by corporate shills who likely were bribed by Meta and possibly even Reddit goons to keep social discourse in the hands of the ruling class.

I don't give a fuck how I sound, it's the truth and you're going to accept it whether you like it or not.

The System Is Not Legitimate and you will not bully us into pretending it is anymore.

The Supreme Court already arbitrarily banned abortion and Clarence Thomas himself said other civil rights would be next, so go take your anti-disestablisment rhetoric and shove it. You're wrong. Period.

Or they just arbitrarily say the rebellion clause doesn't apply to Trump and do what they want which is their only goal anyway.

Stop pretending the system is legitimate in any way. It is not.

You realize that was the intent, right? Strange you're on the internet but haven't figured that out

Yeah, you're actually supposed to click the three dots at the lower right hand corner of a user's comment to block them, just FYI. Also you're supposed to block them right after getting the last word in, not just say you blocked them. Unless blocking is completely broken now. 🤔

People can and will use alts to block evade with no consequences

Blocks don't actually stop the offender from seeing you and your posts. Alts are things.They actually are allowed to get the last word in an argument because they can respond to the last comment you made to them before blocking them, among other reasons.

Federation enables people to run alt armies to exploit and abuse the upvote system, or masquerade as supporters for their side in an argument to gang up on you. That's how they block evade with alts and get away with it, by pretending to be someone else.

All brought to you by the ill-conceived idea of federation

Just be careful out there

EDIT: Case in point, that guy down there trollbaiting. People like him will get butthurt and downvote you to hell if he thinks he can get away with it, which he can.

It doesn't actually do anything and is extremely easy to defeat.

I kind of like the Lady Kang idea. It'd be the perfect twist.

If only you meant that in an amicable way.

I don't actively oppose human rights; I just don't think they work as an idea or a social institution. They don't protect people from harm in any real meaningful capacity, only love and connection does, and I support stuff that actually does demonstrably protect people.

It really is better to just be one of the populars so no one wants to hurt you. And to have connections so everyone else is dependent on you in some capacity, so people actively suffer if they do try to hurt you.

Human rights cannot and never have accomplished either of those for anyone. We're not a more peaceful world because of human rights; the same tragedies they were supposed to prevent prevailed and now fascism is taking over the world, and in the next decade we're going to have the biggest genocides the world has ever seen.

And those same human rights are invoked to tie victims' hands behind their backs whenever they try to fight back. They're accused of violating their perpetrator's human rights and of being equivalent to their oppressor by trying to avenge themselves or get rid of them or even just hold them accountable.

Human rights are a meaningless, unhelpful joke.

That would be legit as fuck.

How, when being targeted, jailed or killed under fascism?

They just need to recast him. No one will complain.

I'm not sure if anyone even cares anymore, and given how nukes are in the hands of most of the countries turning fascist including Israel, everyone on the planet needs to worry now.

I humbly request you post this in https://lemmy.cafe/c/benjamingetthemusket

Make the thread and I'll pin it

What countries would even take U.S. migrants though?

And Americans would wind up being abused abroad by those who seek to give the U.S. retribution for the way it treats those who run away to it.
