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.

Being trans is not a mental illness but let’s not encourage stigma around mental illness either.

Cis people with mental illness are valid

Trans people with mental illness are valid

Mentally healthy trans people are valid

Mentally healthy cis people are valid

If the 3 biggest OS were all FOSS, I would agree.

Right now, Linux is the ONLY major OS that respects user freedom and privacy. Full stop.

The community around Linux isn’t there because user preference; the real reason it exists and so many people are passionate about it is because FOSS software is the difference between a future that looks like Star Trek, and one that looks like Cyberpunk 2077.

They ruled that people acting together have all the same rights that they would have acting individually

Bullshit, corporations are not “people acting together”, they’re autocratic command structures where one or few people hold all the power.

preventing someone from spending money on producing and promoting their speech effectively prevents them from being heard

Also total bullshit, unless you agree that allowing people to be poor is a violation of the first amendment, because being poor effectively prevents them from being heard. Which you won’t.

Which are both perfectly true, common-sense statements

I’m already confident you don’t have a single ounce of common sense in your empty head after reading those two sentences.

Maybe you should have thought of that before you became peasants.

CU vs FEC was specifically about campaign financing, but yeah basically ruled that organizations like corporations are protected by 1A, and money counts as free speech.

Which is obviously bullshit on every level, but just one way that a SCOTUS with a few corrupt individuals can destroy democracy for an entire country.

Like China sucks, but they’re not wrong when they say the US is the most destabilising influence in world politics.

Oh my god are we really doing this. It’s like an elephant took a shit, and a rhino took a shit, and the rhino says that the elephant shit is going to make a worse sandwich.

Sure, you could technically argue that the rhino shit is 2% smaller, you’re still shoving a giant rhino shit sandwich in your mouth.

And “stable/unstable” is not the best metric either. An authoritarian militaristic dictatorship is often more “stable” than a Democracy. You can force stability on a population by taking all their rights away. Doesn’t make it a good thing.

The luggage tag of the US

Sealioning is when you relentlessly ask for evidence, even when you know you’re going to ignore it.

I’m asking for his opinion, which I suspect he won’t give because he knows it’s going to make him look some kind of way.

Not even a caricature because getting your hands broken is actually still not as bad as starving to death.

Funny bit about the AI bot because when I asked you about Native American reservations it’s like you didn’t have an answer bc no one programmed you with that response yet.

Asking you a question, how do you feel about Native American “safe spaces”?

Demanding a “safe space” for your particular genetic deviation in this day and age is nothing more than nationalism.

Do you feel the same way about Native American reservations?

So you believe in kicking 10 million people out of their homes and telling them to just figure it out?

It sure is easy to care about decisions someone made 80 years ago instead of dealing with the real life problems of present day.

Should have, would have, could have.

Who the fuck care, where are the Jews supposed to go right now?

Different scenario because European colonizers actually had a home.

Where the fuck are the Jews supposed to go?

Let me use an example. Let’s say you’re my partner, and it’s movie night. I give you a choice between two movies: Star Wars, and Harry Potter. However, if you choose Harry Potter for movie night, I will actually break both your hands with a sledgehammer.

I say I’m giving you a choice, but do you actually have a fair choice?
