Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, a name is a powerful thing. It’s hard for some to rally around an idea, especially when it’s big and nuanced. People know who Nelson Mandela was though.


The names of Elizabeth and Ines Soto need to be on every lip, just like Alex Pretty and Rene Good.
You’re not going to “Break the back of polarization” because the people keeping us divided, who benefit from the dysfunction, are the same ones funding the careers of politicians. The system isn’t broken and needs to be fixed. The system is working as intended and needs to be eliminated.


Well, it could, but not under the current conditions. A man can still dream.


Because they are stupid for voting for a right wing candidate. He’s going to turn on them immediately and destroy their livelihoods because that’s what they do. That’s all the right wing ever does and has ever done. They’re not here to help you. They’re here to help themselves, usually to the fruits of your labour. And then they call us thieves for demanding our cut of the wealth back. The right wing is just organized crime with better PR, that’s all they’ve ever been and that’s all they’ll ever be. Oh they’ll dress it up in a song and dance about some nostalgic nonsense or another, it’s all a spectacle to keep you distracted while they pick your pocket. “Oh we’re the party of law and order” bullshit. They’ll complain about crime, loudly and for hours to anyone who will listen, but their “solutions” are usually just more ways to profiteer off of it while pretending their useless gestures are “Doing something.”
At least they’re more honest about it than the damned centrists, but given the choice of being stabbed in the back or in the face, I’d say I’d rather not be stabbed at all.


Listen… what happened on my juvenile record was sealed… 😜


It would be really nice if the system produced more than 2 options, you know? Sometimes the leftist party has very poor leadership or their ideas are just played out and it needs to lose power, but when the only alternative is the equivalent of throwing yourself in a fire because they’re openly criminal and corrupt, you’re damned if you and damned if you don’t, si?


If you think the gas prices will start a riot, wait until you see the food prices in a few months. An army marches on its stomach. When you can’t feed the soldiers, you’re going to have a hard time quelling anything.


It’s not the length of the sentence that matters, it’s what a Terrorism charge does to you upon release. They may only get 5 years in a cell, but this is effectively a life sentence.


As an IT guy, I can confirm, it’s a trap.


Technically the core of the story is real, but the OP is basically just a tabloid blog, not a real news source. My guess is it’s an AI generated article capitalizing on real stories and editorializing to make click bait.

No, it has nothing to do with what they are, it’s about who they choose to be. It’s not Eugenics, it’s Eupraxis.


It’s 110% about his position on Israel. AIPAC knows it’s losing the left and it’s trying every trick in the book to discredit anti-zionist voices.


Hypothetically a stable orbital structure with a consistent dark side could use heat pumps in conjunction with Curie point radiators that could potentially radiate fast enough in a hard vacuum. They’re impractical on a vessel that’s intended to do a lot of accelerating, decelerating, and changing direction but something with a relatively stable position they’d have some potential.


I have to hope there’s a sizable demographic who sees all this as abhorrent as the rest of us.
Abandon that hope. There are Israelis who do think this is madness. There aren’t many of them and they are in no position to have any say whatsoever. There’s a significant contingent of Jews outside of Israel who are horrified, but they tend to be the ones weren’t interested in participating in the colonial project in the first place. You kind of have a distilled subset of those who are least likely to see other people as human.


I’m sorry, unless I’m getting paid to use AI, I’m not using AI, and we can discuss my fees for using these things. These aren’t a consumer product, they’re a job. I’m not getting paid to bag groceries either, I’m not paying for the privilege of working for Google.


I think that may be an exercise in futility friend. The US was born in blood, and spent its whole existence extracting it from others somewhere, even itself. I’m skeptical to say the very least that it will ever change.


It’s odd that you think the amount of blood on his hands is why people complain about Platner. I’ve never met an American who had a problem with violence, just very strong opinions about who deserved it and who didn’t.
I call it “Turing’s Revenge” where, once the bot can pass the Turing test, we find out the hard way if humans are intelligent… and we appear to have a lot of failed models, mostly in management.
