Let me ask you a nuanced question:
What type of punishment would you be in favor of for high level cartel members who have significant pull with prison gangs in the US?
If I put it another way. Are you okay with the type of supermax confinement that El Chapo is under at the moment as an example?
I’m asking because this is something that I personally wrestle with as I think it is a gray area within my own ethical boundaries as they relate to human rights.
It is the certification that has me worried. If this election is anywhere within a couple tenths of a point in Georgia, Nevada, or Michigan then shit is about to be a fucking nightmare.
I don’t think people are adequately weighing the danger of the Supreme Court putting their thumb directly on the scale in the event these election deniers are able to effectuate something approximating the obstruction in 2000 or 2020. Now that we know John Roberts is effectively in the bag for Trump, all bets are off.
Hopefully the good people of Springfield take the time to roast an actual pussy once he gets there.
Underrated comment.
The thing I believe you are missing in your assessment is that it took outside forces to overcome Nazism in Germany, and Fascism in Europe more broadly.
Nobody is coming to save us this time. We are the world’s leading nuclear superpower. So, any attempt to change course is going to have to come from within unless we are talking about destroying civilization entirely.
I don’t see a way that outside diplomacy is going to have any effect either. We must accept the reality we are in, and fight back by using grassroots methods to stop the radicalization of our peers.
I grant you that it feels like a hopeless battle at times, but so do all wars of attrition. I understand the anger and the fear. It is justified. However, we need to be clear eyed and sober minded about the reality we are living in. So, I think my original point still stands.
Half of us…Let’s not other-ize them because I’m assuming you are also American, and like it or not they are our fucking peers.
One way or another they are our fucking problem to deal with unfortunately. I know you didn’t really mean it like that most likely, but I think it is important to recognize that we have to accept the reality of the society we are living in no matter how much we fucking hate it.
Yeah, I’m wondering about that too…
Never heard about Tab Clear, but the Crystal Pepsi reference checks out ✔️
I also downvoted you both as a show of support for the consistent application of your principals, and because I also think Vaush is an annoying fuck.
I didn’t even know about most of the rage-bait controversy shit from this thread. I just hated him because he’s the living embodiment of the Well Ackshually meme…

Also: actual fucking traitor.
I ain’t going out without a fight. I guaran-fucking-tee you that.
There’s nothing more dangerous than a cornered animal as they say…
Not to be pedantic, but aren’t those two things intrinsically connected at some level?
Even if they learned exactly like humans do, like so fucking what, right!? Humans have to pay EXORBITANT fees for higher education in this country. Arguing that your bot gets socialized education before the people do is fucking absurd.
There’s always money to spend on profiting from human suffering in this country. If you think there won’t be a cottage industry that springs up around bounty hunting illegal immigrants if that was to become legal then you need a better imagination.
