They can do anything they want if the Supreme Court rules 5-4 and says they can.

@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

My theory is they’ll do 5-4 rulings with one of the fascists dissenting in some bizarre and really technical way over their pet issue.

Americans, how do you feel about being stored in a database by government agencies like the NSA?

Every search you make, email you send, text message, voice chat, location, and most likely the conversations you have in your own home are monitored and stored in a database for whoever knows how long (probably forever). When I hear land of the free, I immediately think bullshit. We are slowly losing our freedoms, what can we do...

They had slaves.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

They also raped and tortured their slaves.

Please don’t pretend like people buying the only clothes they can afford is in any way comparable literally owning chattel slaves.

“Just not by us directly” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. What the fuck is this “us” shit? I didn’t choose to enslave anyone and I have no power to free them. Equivocating being forced to participate in capitalism with directly owning a my own fucking plantation is just mystifying history - just edgy nihilism.

The Founders were among history’s monsters and you need to stop trying to protect their legacy by painting us with their brush. Chattel slavery was a uniquely horrible institution and its end mattered.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

As far as I know, only about a third of people in the US back then ever owned slaves.

Okay? We’re talking about the Founders, and they owned slaves. They were directly responsible for it, they had their own plantations. Comparing that to bystanders and voting and buying local and being complacent is absurd.

Are you perhaps under the impression that all Americans in 1776 were Founders? Because generally when USians talk about our Founders we’re talking about the people at the Constitutional Convention and terroist organizations like the Sons of Liberty.

Israel can never be blamed for anything.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

The problem that other countries face is the US retaliating if anyone does anything to Israel. There’s a reason that Israel’s neighbors, most notably Egypt, are mostly just letting this happen. They just aren’t willing to get treated like Hezbollah or Ansar Allah or Iran.

Already have more nukes than every other country, this is literally pointless. After a certain point having more nukes just becomes a hat on a hat.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Private contractors probably, it’s all a big bonanza for a few rich people to get richer I’m sure. Just paying for more hats on hats.

But never underestimate how dog brained these people are, they probably actually believe this makes us more secure lol

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

5000 nukes is already enough to end civilization, what the fuck would having even more be worth?

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

5000 nukes will annihilate everyone. Earth wouldn’t recover for centuries.

Now, yes, delivery systems determine if the nukes can actually be used, but having more than 5000 nukes is just a hat on a hat. As long as they’re 5000 functional nukes there’s just no reason to have more.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m pretty sure that numbers are how you present a credible MAD threat.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Again, that’s more about delivery systems than just having more nukes. The capacity to intercept comes down to how fast and stealthy the missiles are.

As a fellow trans person, I don’t think Biden can guarantee my safety because I’m in a red state. He seems to be allowing red state anti-trans legislation without much pushback. At best he might not make the problem even worse, but he won’t protect us.

It’s conservationist, reducing hardware requirements to lengthen the lifetime of old hardware.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I, for one, hate the way PC gamer culture has normalized hardware obsolescence. Your hobby is just for fun, you don’t really need to gobble up so much power and rare Earth minerals and ever-thinner wafers all to just throw away parts every six months.

I have plenty of fun playing ascii roguelikes and I do not respect high performance gaming. It’s a conservationist nightmare.

Biden nominated him…

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I think his attempts to reestablish new diplomacy with Cuba and Iran were good.

Then Trump fucked it all up and Biden doesn’t seem to give a shit about going back.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s about damn time. They should have already been the largest export market for at least the past couple decades, their economy is huge and they’re right next door. The US, while also a huge economy, is on the opposite side of the planet! Absurd.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

A Gallup poll at the end of April found that 27% of Americans view immigration as the most important issue facing the country, topping the economy and inflation.

Piss off your own base to appeal to less than a third of the electorate that isn’t going to vote for you anyway.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

The part of the base that this anti-immigration move will anger is the same part of the base that’s already angry about the genocide.

It’s like he’s trying to piss them off specifically and as much as possible.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

He doesn’t seem to care about people’s concerns over the genocide. He picks and chooses which concerns he addresses.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s not like the Dem base will switch their votes to Trump.

Treating them like guaranteed votes is going to result in people staying home. It’s bad strategy.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes I’m sure he’s not just doing this on a whim, but we’ll see how this pays off in November.

If he loses it’s his fault alone.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Also a they’re a lot less restrictive to asylum seekers.

The OP is about an executive order to crack down on asylum seekers.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Infinitely worse? Try somewhat worse.

They’re not nearly as different as they should be.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Cynicism. A majority of Americans disapprove of Israel’s actions in Gaza. 55% disapprove to 36% approve.

If this goes on until November it will only get worse, but Biden doesn’t care.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Progressively doing genocide.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

If you don’t donate to Biden’s campaign and Trump wins, you are culpable. 🙃

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

What you fail to understand is that’s not infinitely worse, that’s somewhat worse.

I have been paying attention, have you? We’re already doing genocide, our prisons are already overflowing, we’re already federally prosecuting protesters, yet somehow you think everything is fine. This election is between rude Hitler and polite Hitler. That’s it.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Everyone got together and decided (through the Electoral College) that Trump was the person to lead us.

Gibberish. Everyone got together and decided that Clinton was the President, then the Electoral College overruled the democratic will of the majority and we got Trump anyway. Everyone has a voice. $ome voices matter more than others.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m trans in a red state, no matter who wins the election they’re probably going to take away my hormones and then my life is over. I’ll either become a homeless refugee in a blue state or… do something drastic that would get me banned if I talk about it.

Biden isn’t going to stop them. He hasn’t stopped them from taking away abortion rights, why would he give a shit about me?

queermunist ,

“Vote for my guy or I’ll let Trump kill you”

This is a hostage situation.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Trump lost the popular vote the last time he won because America isn’t a democracy. I voted against him twice, and the second time I voted against Trump to “stop fascism” all I got for my vote was a fucking genocide.

I want you to stop victim blaming. Our only choices are between polite Hitler and rude Hitler, you don’t know enough about American politics to even understand how fucked we are.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Okay, just remember that polite Hitler is doing a genocide, and the liberals around the world are right there beside him.

I’ll give Biden one thing: his support for genocide has managed to sink the USs international reputation even further and delegitimize it’s bogus “rules based international order” so badly that now even Mexico is joining the case against Israel in the ICJ. He’s goose stepping the US right off a cliff along with his closest allies, he’s practically the accelerationist choice, and the only alternative is just worse in all sorts of different and stupid ways.

Hopefully my death is quick and painless.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Pro-Israel groupies are attacking student encampments and getting away with it.

The difference is that polite Hitler doesn’t openly provoke those attacks. He just quietly enables and protects them.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m paying off a trailer still so I won’t be able to move it, and my resume is dogshit. Also all my family are in red states so that’s not an option.

But the biggest problem is I’ll have to get out of here fast if they decide to restrict my access to hormones. I will not be detransitioned. By any means necessary.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

But I hate this country.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Literally a hostage situation.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

You’re saying “vote for my guy or else” and then acting like it’s my fault hostage takers are going to execute me.

But also, that’s complicated by the fact that America is a blight on the world. The world would literally be better off if this shit hole declines because it can’t fuck with everyone else in the world anymore.

Israel, for instance, wouldn’t be able to do genocide if the US was no longer able to provide weapons and protection.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

If Israel is not defeated we will never uncover the true death toll. We’ll only be able to make estimates and inferences.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Why do you think they’d even want to?
