We probably need proportional representation first. I figure you’re probably right that first past the post pretty much breaks any implementation of recall petitions…

Watch this not ever really even touch the mobile phone market. The only computer they want you to have access to is the one they fully control…

No. The entire premise is a stinking pile of dung, and always has been.

People do not choose to live in poverty. Like, seriously, this a classist myth that has never fucking been true. If people did, they could just choose to stop being poor!! But anybody with a functioning brain knows that billionaires choose for the workers to be destitute. So this entire “if you’re poor you shouldn’t [x]” needs to just fucking die already.

And…? I mean, water is still wet, right?

World will be better off the day every one of them experiences that loss.

Dude, nobody in those files was ever gonna have consequences? You most know that??

The files are the distraction, damnit. Every time people follow that lead, it’s another opportunity to “legally” step you of your rights. Another opportunity to loot the treasury.

And, seriously, even in the very unlikely chance any additional files are “released”, they will have been tampered with. Dementia Donvict and Co names removed, and anybody who didn’t least at a chance to lick his greasy turds out of his ass crack will “coincidentally” be named in said files.

But the simple fact the corporate media propaganda machine acknowledged the existence of the so called Epstein files all but proves it’s all fucking bullshit. And they love useful idiots who keep everyone else “on message” by bringing up the exact same shit over and over again. It’s the same fucking game they’ve been running my entire life. And, no, its not any fucking different this time around…

Well, it’s all about the politics.

In other words, reality is irrelevant. All that matters is the messaging. If you resign, you get to start all the political bullshit on message. If you are fired, whoever fired you sets the stage instead.

Career politicians are a cancer on society. And if they cared about achievements or legacy, they would absolutely not be successful in making politics their career.

Not the op, but the entire issue would suddenly just kinda…go away. The propaganda machine would label it “false news”, and every single conservative would immediately fall in line.

But almost nobody would even read any of it, and the release would almost certainly guarantee that the ones responsible would walk free.

If you can’t believe paid shills and other bad faith operators are present on lemmy, then you’ve really not been paying much attention…

Yeah, no. Growth is achieved only through adversity. Take the US, for example. Keep things “peaceful”, you get a complacent population that manages to elect an orange rapid monkey into office. That’s progress? Sure buddy…

Mango Mussolini is still my fav

I second this. Only thing I would add is to emphasize the importance of giving your child at least some agency in confronting their own internal issues. I have no desire to teach my children what to think; rather, my hope is to help them learn to think for themselves. I think that idea is related to the issue you’re attempting to address.

It abso-fucking-lutely smells like manufactured messaging. Aka propaganda.

To all those who keep calling for acts of violence in the US I ask: how many will Dementia Donny kill in response?

Ops. They belong in the same pile, though, yes

Well, yeah. Can’t argue with that. Y’all remember the controversy over his misplaced USB stick full of porn? That he only had for “academic” purposes?

That’s a stupid wondering.

If you must find/create a path to freedom, then I guarantee you some shithead has made sure that path is illegal. No if’s, and’s, or but’s about it!

Umm, that’s, frankly, quite the shit take on the situation.

First, he’s fucking lying. A loss of privilege simply does not compare at all to the brutality of systemic racism.

Second, with very rare exception, white people absolutely do not get mistreated to anywhere near the degree monitors do. So, every other ethnicity is treated far worse, and always have been.

Finally, no, money will never make anybody “one of the good ones”. Not fucking ever.

Oh no. They’re be mentioned. Knowledge and experience are explicitly discouraged.

but it’s certainly memorable when they make one that does both.

I don’t know. Hollywood, in it’s entirety, sucks and amazes to the max. Like… that’s literally their thing.
