It’s not vague at all. Engage in an insurrection, you can’t hold office. Trump incited an insurrection that was broadcast on national television.

Biden hasn’t incited an insurrection, but if he did, he would also be ineligible for office.

The problem with Republicans is they actually don’t give the smallest shit about the law or the US Constitution. They’re fascists, the don’t have integrity or values, except to value seizing and maintaining power, by any means necessary.

FaeDrifter ,

That’s like if you assaulted someone, and then claiming you didn’t assault them because you think assault isn’t strongly defined.

It’s just a very stupid and slimy way of saying you think laws shouldn’t apply to you.

FaeDrifter ,

Violent storming of the Capitol is insurrectionalist and obvious (like assault)

That was not your original statement but it’s a lot more correct now, and if we can agree that an obvious insurrection is an insurrection, that’s a very good start.

We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore

I don’t see any honest case to be made that this isn’t incitement of insurrection.

Additionally, the 14th Amendment does not require you to prove it was an incitement, it’s enough to provide aid or comfort to the insurrectionists. Of which there are numerous examples, including Trump repeatedly offering to pardon the insurrectionists.

FaeDrifter ,

You should actually be more worried that violent insurrection becomes the norm.

FaeDrifter ,

Whose democratic options to express themselves is being taken away?

Statistically it is non-white people, so why is it white people who are turning to violence?

FaeDrifter ,

Trump also said “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

If you shake someone’s hand and also punch them, does the handshake cancel out the punch?

You’re being slimy and dishonest again. Trump is a politician, he talks out both sides of his mouth. Talking out both sides of your mouth does not cancel out.

I’ll give an hyperbolic example. “Instagram star breaks DC window” = followers are insurrectionists. Anyone liking a post is barred from the ballot.

You can’t tell the difference between double tapping an Instagram post and offering a presidential pardon?

FaeDrifter ,

There’s lots of good reasons to be anti-Biden.

BUT PER THE LAW, Biden is eligible to run and Trump is not.

This has nothing to do with feelings or even policy. Nothing to do with sides.

This is just the straight up facts. Trump has engaged in insurrection. Biden has not. The 14th Amendment is clear that insurrectionists are not eligible for office.

If you want to be eligible for office, dotn engage in insurrection. It’s not fucking complicated.

FaeDrifter ,

How are MAGA voters losing the democratic options to express themselves?

FaeDrifter ,

maybe a good lawyer can equate them

It’s interesting that you consider a swampy dishonest lawyer to be a “good” lawyer.

FaeDrifter ,

Laws are important, I’m sure if someone broke into your home and stole all your stuff you wouldn’t want the law to just shrug and go who cares.

FaeDrifter ,
  1. Are you aware the Constitution sets out requirements for eligibility for president? Just because your feelings say you really want a particular person, it doesn’t mean you have a constitutional right to vote for them. For example, maybe I really want Arnold Schwarzenegger for president. Just because I prefer Arnold that does not mean he can be president.
  2. Trumpers could vote for Trump in 2020 and they still staged a violent insurrection. So your point is both stupid and moot.
FaeDrifter ,

acquitted in the Senate

Factually incorrect, either you don’t know what is going on, or you’re lying. The Senate failed to remove him as president, that is all. There is an ongoing criminal case during which Trump was indicted this past year. There has been no acquittal, contrary to your claim.

Just because your feelings say you really don’t want a particular person, it doesn’t mean you have a constitutional right to exclude them.

I agree 100%. I don’t want Biden or any of the other GOP candidates either. And yet, none of them have so far staged and supported an insurrection. I only think candidates should be discluded based on law.

I’m logically consistent, which is something you are not capable of understanding.

Consider how violent Trumpers could get if they couldn’t vote.

Well, Trumpers are extremely delusional and very stupid. So, they will get very violent, even though Trumpers have the most to lose and least to gain from an actual Civil War 2.

One massive trumper delusion is that they are the only ones with guns. In reality, leftists, anarchists, anti-fascists, and communists have a ridiculous amount of firepower stored.

The big difference is that Trumpers paint a big target on themselves and their homes, flying Trump flags and wearing trump merch. Trumpers are not ready to fight a war against an enemy they can’t find. They’re like the Redcoats of the American Revolution, they are big loud and meant to intimidate, they are not ready to fight an actual bloody war of attrition against an enemy they cannot see.

FaeDrifter ,

God that’s so corporate-coded - instead of fixing your divisions so they are all profitable, just take your two successful divisions and squeeze them like you’re trying to get blood out of a stone.

FaeDrifter ,

If money is imaginary then why can’t we guarantee food, shelter, clothing, and education for every single human on this planet.

FaeDrifter ,

Except he’s completely wrong because containers work specifically to solve the problem of deploying across different configurations. Valve already figured this out a decade ago with the steam runtime. That’s why I can run a relatively obscure OS like Bazzite and nearly my entire library of AAA just works like it would on any other distro. You can run a container across hundreds of thousands of different configurations, it doesn’t matter.

FaeDrifter ,

The US has never been a country that’s good or fair. It’s only very slowly gotten a little better through the sweat and blood of good people.

If we want it to get better it’s going to be a lot of difficult and painstaking work.

FaeDrifter ,

A lot of teens in the US have jobs; I’ve worked since I was 14. At $10/month that’s like 1 fast food meal, and if you use it as your major chat platform that’s easily worth it for the convenience it offers you. And teens don’t generally have other major bills to pay.

FaeDrifter ,

Apple, Google, and Microsoft commit antitrust violations too fast and numerous for the legal systems to keep up.

That and they spy on consumers for the US government so that gives them free passes at a lot of things.

FaeDrifter ,

Yeah, we should own those dirty communist propagandists by housing every homeless person.

The commies will be sooo owned if we do that.

FaeDrifter ,

This was actually a pretty funny comment and I feel like everyone missed it.

FaeDrifter ,

Makes more sense but I assumed you were being sarcastic anyway, which in that context made me lol pretty hard.

It’s 35m deep - for comparison recreational scuba divers go up to 30m deep and professional scuba divers up to 60m deep.

It will have to be well engineered and difficult to repair compared to a land facility, but nothing compared to like the space station.

Very cool idea, after 25 years there should be significant cost savings overall.

FaeDrifter ,

Damn you my go-to password in the 2010’s was “P4nc4kes!”.

FaeDrifter ,

What’s your opinion on killing civilians attending a festival?

FaeDrifter ,

just a heads up that they cant see your comment because according to the hexbear modlog you were banned from hexbear 3 months ago for transphobia and mocking non binary hexbear users for using alternative pronouns

Ahh, what actually happened is I said they behave like alt-right, and their neo-pronouns look more like a mockery of trans people than being genuinely trans-inclusive in ways that matter in real life.

Which, I’m still open to an explanation of how they are advancing trans right irl, and taking the L and admitting I was wrong. Their response was to sexually harass me instead. I’m not mad, but if I accuse you of behaving like alt-right and you dig your heels in deeper to behave like alt-right, that’s on you man.

Thank you for the heads up though.

** Edit: as a sidenote, for all the lip-service Hexbear gives trans people, they still cannot tell the difference between men and people with penises.

FaeDrifter ,

Hexbear also weaponizes accusations of transphobia the same way Israel weaponizes accusations of anti-semitism.

Now Hexbear hasn’t done any genocide yet, but it does loove to talk about executing people, many and frequently.

FaeDrifter ,

Yeah I was a complete asshole. Not an excuse, but this was after about 2-dozen people sexually harassed me, so I was not at my best. And I will apologize any time for anyone who is hurt or offended.

That said, I was also speaking to people who started out as rape apologists in the context of Russian soldiers and Ukrainians families. If you’re pretty cool with kids getting raped by soldiers, but you’re offended that someone didn’t memorize 4 different neo-pronouns, that is 100% a place of privilege. Am I wrong on that?

Edit: also, as you are a trans person, recognizing that you are in a world where your safety is often a razor-thin line, anything I said that you felt unsafe around, I do deeply apologize.

FaeDrifter ,

So maybe you can help me out with this bit:

Where I’m at right now, I feel like trans inclusivity means, that regardless of being born afab or amab, if you want to be perceived and treated by he/him pronouns, she/her pronouns, or they/them pronouns, you deserve that recognition and treatment.

That is currently where I am at for trans inclusivity.

I support that, in my workplace and in my community.

Am I falling short here? Am I not reaching far enough to be trans inclusive?

Edit: SA was a different thread, it’s somewhere way back there in my history.

FaeDrifter ,

Also gonna bug you again because I am so thirsty for conversation around this.

I am not trans, but from what I’ve seen and experienced from people close to me, especially in the midwest, living as a trans person is difficult and dangerous. There’s so much work to put in to be perceived a certain way, which bathroom is it safe to use, getting medical care, getting hormones and transitioning, who is it safe to come out to.

But then you can have over here a super privileged white man, who decides he now goes by neo-pronouns, puts no work or risk in and retains every privilege in society of being a white man.

This looks to me in absolutely no way comparable to what it’s like to be trans.

I would say something like, I feel like neo-pronoun people have culturally appropriated the struggle of trans people. You can pick up some neo-pronouns and get all the leftist points, without actually putting yourself on the line the way trans people put themselves on the line.

I’ll take the L again and say the above is coming from a place of personal ignorance. I am an ignorant asshole. I’m very interesting in learning different and even better perspectives.

FaeDrifter ,

Since you’re either unable or unwilling to engage in any further, I’ll tell you what it looks like right now:

Any rational well-adjusted person will be pro-trans rights. Therefore it doesn’t make a good enough loyalty check for a rather high-key cultish group. The neo-pronouns are the loyalty check. Neo-pronouns have nothing to do with being trans, everything to do with checking to see if someone fits into the cult.

Hexbear weaponizes accusations of transphobia the exact way Israel weaponizes accusations of antisemitism. It’s nothing to do with trans people or Jewish people, and everything to do with the cult. You are either with the cult, or you’re against it.

At the end of the day, Israel is bad for Jews, and will happily sacrifice the rights of Jewish people around the world, I think Hexbear is bad for trans rights, and will happily sacrifice the rights and safety of trans people anywhere in the world to achieve its own political goals. For example, Dems in the US might be trash, but they are also the only change trans people have right now. I think Hexbear would throw trans people in the US in front of a train if it meant a geopolitical win for them.

So call me whatever you want; when it comes to afab and amab people who want to be identified as a brother, a sister, or a sibling, they have always had my unwavering support. When it comes to Hexbear and the neo-pronouns, that is demonstrably the real transphobia, and trans exploitation. And I am still waiting to hear otherwise.

Once you have distrobox set up with an arch container, you have access to the aur no matter what distro ypu’re running.

FaeDrifter ,

I’m been slowly migrating all my computers over to immutable distros, either silverblue or universal blue.

Once you get used to the container paradigm, you can do all your customization and easily copy it over to other machines without fear of breaking anything.

Plus, having automatic updates and knowing that you’ll always boot into a reliable machine, it’s the best.

Discovery also had hologram communication technology that I guess was also a secret? Starfleet went back to flatscreens for everything and didn’t use holograms again until the 24th century.

If it was just one thing, okay, but there were such numerous inconsistencies, it was like the writers and designers did not care about trek, they were writing a sci-fi show with the trek name slapped on top.

It’s totally possible to respect the heritage of old sci-fi - look at The Mandalorian and Andor - maintaining consistency with the old retro sci-fi aesthetic actually elevates them above what a modern redesign would have done.

They actually found a 5-second sleep embedded in the JavaScript, so it’s not the cache.

Funny that I was just watching Bill Burr on Conan say the same thing about Steve Jobs like 15 years ago. People treat him like he’s Nikola Tesla level inventor, but he’s really just ordering around the nameless/faceless engineers who do the actual invention.

I think collectively we’re getting burned out on hero worship or the lone genius myth. Every advancement is a collective effort.

This is suuuper cool, but looks like having linux+amdgpu limits me to the cloud option.

I supposed this is bc we don’t have a DirectML equivalent yet.

Lemmy probably has a disproportionate number of tech bros who make that or more, but that’s wayyy out of reach at least for most Americans.

Also that’s kinda what China does already and it hasn’t really worked to close the wealth gap.

FaeDrifter ,

Most significant difference is that Nobara updates muuch faster, so you’ll have a much more recent kernel and the freshest mesa graphics stack.

Upside is that more recent and/or AAA games will run better, downside is that you might to need to do some debugging if something breaks.

The person who I am directly replying to.

But make no mistake, Israel is also fascist af.

FaeDrifter ,

Sure, I’m not referring to the Zionist idea that the home needs to be on Palestine land.

I think they deserve a safe home, anywhere that does not infringe on the rights of someone else to have a good.

FaeDrifter ,

This sounds like a great idea!

I’ll clarify, I’m just putting out a reminder that being fascist is not an inherent trait, like green eyes or dark skin. Literally anyone can fall into the trap of fascist thinking. The only way to be truly anti-fascist is to recognize the warning signs in your own thoughts and worldview.

So centrism can sometimes be a trap, but don’t demonize the practice of seeing both sides. Taking a hard line with one sides is a step on the path to becoming a fascist.

FaeDrifter ,

For sure I think Nazis and Tankies are both gross, and I have a kind of out-group bias against them, but I never advocate for violence against them.

Except maybe punching Nazis, but nothing serious damaging or life threatening.

FaeDrifter ,

My mind is open to considering this. Where is the line I’m drawing, which is the in-group and which is the out-group?
