It’s hopeless my dude. Lemmy is filled with either wannabe revolutionaries or establishment toadies. There’s no healthy scepticism to be found yet.

Yes.

What does “quietly” even mean? Didn’t take out ads in Times Square?

Multiple things can be bad at the same time. It is also possible to fight without being barbaric.

Got it. So it’s banned if elected, accountable officials decline to use taxpayer funds to purchase a book that might not be age appropriate.

By banned do you mean unable to be purchased by a private citizen by any legal means?

Now apply this same reasoning to other life concepts we’ve been told, and welcome to enlightenment.

(Or black pilling, YMMV)

Bravo

This is only a good argument if the conduct regulated by the law is bad in and of itself.

Can you link me where he said he knew he lost in a valid election? I haven’t seen that yet. Thanks!

I don’t understand why you are being down voted for this, other than people seem to really think this was somehow an admission of guilt and now he’s going to jail.

I wish it was possible to discuss the actual nuances of this without being down voted, but anything beyond TRUMP BAD! gets ignored.

Do people really not understand that this is not a confession? The cases against Trump hinge on whether he in fact did not believe there were legitimate grounds for contesting the election. I.e., he was advocating for overturning the results but didn’t actually believe there were grounds to do so.

Saying “hE jUsT coNFeSsEd!1!” here is kind of a smooth brained take. He has to maintain that he really and truly believed the election results should be overturned, or he’s in trouble.

Agree with your sentiment. This is totally off topic, but is there a lemmy instance that is uncensored? I know it’s pedantry, but I really dislike seeing “removed” in place of female dog epithet.

Lot of bots, lot of unironic cringe-posting.

Because targeted vandalism is easier and more satisfying to animalistic urges than the long work of organizing political backing, running for office, enacting societal change

We can just re-brand enshittification as “tiktokization”
