Because the state determines anything that potentially threatens the state as a “threat to the people” while not allowing the people to organise, especially with anything that may threaten the state.

Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees

The govt will ban voices that are pro-china as well as anti. The marker tends to be those who people will form behind and have the ability to create movements. It’s about keeping people atomised.

It has the feel of a 90s website before people learnt CSS

The cliff thought as much. Why else would it yeet him like that?!

(Doesn’t sound like he was because he also held patents for an insulin pump & a wheelchair that could climb stairs so his mind was definitely working towards solving real world problems & not just reinventing public transport)

Not being invited to a trade show isn’t quite the same as blockading all arms sales & suspending all diplomatic relations.

It doesn’t even qualify for “the bare fucking minimum”

“If we don’t unwaveringly support Israel in its expansionist plans, they’ve told us they’ll carry out the Hannibal directive”.

Israel has been reigned in multiple times by previous US administrations by seems Biden wants his legacy to be the establishment of “greater Israel” because he’s such a fucking ghoul

This is classic liberal brain worm nonsense.

Blue maga cultists world rather blame leftists than get your shitty candidate in line with her genocidal policies.

It’s not a difficult situation to resolve: stop supplying Israel with weapons and support.

Instead of “reds under the bed”, it’s “there’s a bogeyman at the door”

Not all Jews are zionists. Not all zionists are Jews. All zionists are genocidal cunts.

If the prick wants people on-call 24 hours a day then he needs to pony up the wages to match with accompanying extended holiday for downtime.

The council being cheap lazy bastards have said ‘ooh… More temporary signs. That should work!’.

Restaurant owner: speed camera to dish out fines. Make them pay!

Road design should be that it’s impossible to approach that roundabout at speed. All good road design dictates driver behaviour, not allow them to make rash or irrational choices that endanger others.

Reddit admins have already put things in place to counter editing or deleting comments.

I deleted an account from 2011 yet when I searched on Google for “site:reddit.com account name”, it listed loads of posts with their previous content (I used the script that changed all the contents before deleting).

All SM sites have been doing this for a while: they’ll shadow delete your account but will retain all the data.

As well as Germanys own genocides of the Herero and Namaqua.

It’s also an accessibility feature so people don’t have to do the invariable up and down from kerbs into the road when using mobility aids or pushchairs with kids/shopping etc

One problem no one has mentioned, is that it also makes life a lot harder for homeless people.

But to those who organise those systems, they’re not consumers with disposable income or a credit line to spend. They are happy for them to fall through the cracks and people not using cash penalises them further by eradicating charity and widening divisions.

It is functioning as designed.

Anyone that’s said it was a set up has been countered with arguments that to just nick someone ear is statistically impossible but they all treat it that trump is the brains behind the operation.

Now we all know that generally, he’s as dumb as a bag of hammers and has cognitive issues (seems to be a second election based on old men with melting brains) so the real power lies behind the throne.

They might have taken the decision to set up a patsy & if he succeeds, ride the sympathy & somehow load all the blame onto Biden. If he doesn’t, as we’re seeing, trump rides the sympathy wave into the white house.

Another possible theory is that the kid appeared in a black rock commercial a few years ago and as BR have the contract to rebuild in Ukraine, that would be under threat if trump wins (he will pretty much throw them under the bus & let the reaction be his reason to split NATO). BRs main guys brother is Bidens right hand man. Similar to Haliburton with Iraq & it’s former CEO being Bush jnrs VP.

To see such massive laxes in Trumps security and people pointing out the shooter to police at least 3 minutes before he fired, raises more questions and leaves it wide open to wild theories.

One thing for definite though: Biden will absolutely lose the election now.

The guy doing the shooting was a registered republican.

Because if you start justifying these kinds of things…

Republicans have already been justifying it. It was only days ago that a Republican said [paraphrasing] “theres a revolution already going on and it will be bloodless if the left doesnt interfere”.

Republicans have already been justifying the death of BIPoC, trans kids, the queer community, Palestinians and anyone who opposes their genocide… the list goes on. And its mealy mouthed liberals that always say shit like “oh but we shouldn’t start justifying using violence, even in defence” from their positions of privilege.

WTF do you think is going to happen after November, whether Trump wins or not? They have been laying out the justification for using violence for 4 fucking years and you’ve slept through it, hoping its just some nightmare you’ll wake up from.

Democracy does not work with violence.

How do you think your form of ‘democracy’ was achieved? You ballot box is awash with so much fucking blood that you would piss your pants if you had a tiny inkling. And most of it is from those who your country mercilessly crushed for you to have it. You dont live in a democracy. You live in a military/prison/pharma industrial corporatist state that masquerades in a trenchcoat as a democratic Republic

I never experience that when cycling in Europe, only in the UK but then Europeans don’t have that culture war bullshit of “the war on motorists” that’s leaned into heavily by the right wing press.
