Doesn’t matter. They even determined that planning to get yourself in an unsafe situation with the purpose of shooting protesters, travelling across states with a gun to again very intentionally get yourself in a situation where you’d need to use it, is still self defense. Even when you shoot someone without actually being in danger, it becomes self defense when other people are trying to stop you. All of this, as long as your victims are protesting against right-wing policies, has been determined in court to be self defense.

What they forget is that other people aren’t going to be as comitted to their business as they themselves are. They’re not going to care as much for the simple fact, that if the business takes off, they’re not going to earn any of the profits. Why would I work 50 hour weeks like the founder, if I don’t stand to actually reap the benefits?

Agreed, I mean absolutely no disrespect.

I think the problem with US politics is that liberal is by party design, grouped with the socialists too. Here in northern Europe, the liberal parties are usually considered our right to far-right parties, while conservatives are a bit more centrist and often without any influence.

It’s not my fault a lot of like-minded people also thought “Fuck Reddit”. If they want more liberal or conservative people on Lemmy they’re welcome as long as they follow the rules. Problem is that liberal or conservative people don’t really mind the stuff happening on Reddit, so why would they?

He doesn’t at all seem to know what the protests are supposedly about. “A lot of them were there because what we witnessed was a terrible thing”, what do you think “we” witnessed Trump? I see a few options here.

• He has absolutely no idea about any of this. Either he’s being lied to by literally everyone around him, to try to control him like a puppet.
• He is as demented as most sane people think, and has no clue what is happening, despite having been informed
• He simply doesn’t give half a shit about any of it, because people who protest are peasnts to him, and don’t deserve to be part of his thought process.
• It could be a combination of the above 3, not ruling that out either.

No matter, this piece of shit is destroying the world order, he’s destroying the world economy, and he’s destroying the lives of the american people.

Don’t kink shame me!

“We’re sorry we told you to fuck off, we still want you to, but it turned out people like you more than us, so now you made us look like the bad guys.”

I believe the parents have a bigger responsibility for the child’s safety than the school. The school should obviously have shut down, but in the end, the parents are the people who are supposed to keep the child safe, not some strangers. And I don’t care wether the parents had already gone to work. If you live in a place where flash flooding can occour, you know the risk is there after strong storms. If the school is expected to know it was a risk, the parents should damn well know aswell.

My question is why the fuck the parents thought sending their child to school by himself during flash flooding was a good idea?

In my experience, that line was mostly left over on Reddit.

This is so funny and ironic. You’re crying about vegans not thinking vegetarians are doing enough, while also shitting on flexitarians? You’re exactly like those you whine about.

Got plenty of other things I’d rather show up for. Trump knows what we think of him, protesting here won’t do a thing to change anything he does.

Seems like the story in Legacy makes more sense, judging from the trailer.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think i get the sentiment of what you’re saying. Tariffs can be good to bolster local production, and thus, local workers under the assumsion that businesses doing well is good for workers (I’m not convinced it is, at least I don’t think it’ s what’s best for workers. But let’s work within the limitations of the capitalist system here.

The problem is how USA is doing it right now. If you give a 10 year warning before implementing tariffs, while also allocating money to support growing the needed industry, you make sure the industry has time to adapt and make the necessary changes to accomodate the needed growth in production and educating the workforce.

None of that is happening. In fact, while putting in the tariffs, the workers’s jobs are threatened with an economic collaps. The outcome in this scenario is survival of the rich, who will survive a 99% loss in wealth and income just fine. While the most vulnerable, the working class and those even more vulnerable like the sick or handicapped, are asked to simply live with it, and hope to god they may some day be able to afford what they used to. Meanwhile the richest will keep buying all that the working class are forced to sell off, just to survive.

Tariffs aren’t necessarily bad, but in this implementation they’re absolutely catastrophic to the working class, and a sale to the oligarchs.

A lot of fucked up things in all that, but them condoning killing civilians is apparently okay, but asking how Trump hasn’t been killed yet for trying to turn USA into a fascist dictatorship gets you banned.

That’s what got me here.

I love being part of the EU, but fuck no we shouldn’t band together as a single country.

Correct. Much smaller country with a much more limited employee pool, means the companies will have to show a bit of respect to the job seekers. Don’t wanna piss someone off they may need later, or worse, piss someone off who tells everyone the company is shit and to be avoided. It does depend a lot on the field and region though.

Job hunting is a lot different in my country and field. I usually get a personal email from either the department lead or the CEO no matter the result from the application. It does depend a bit on the company though. The big multinational companies are a lot colder.
