Isn’t it already prohibited to fly a drone over my head, unless it’s in the sub 250 gram category.

I doubt it, how does anyone know where your head is? Anyway, sounds like no new law is needed.

Here you go, says it right here:

You must never fly over a person.

And that you need a permit to fly within 30m of people without their consent and within 15m with their consent.

I believe the US regs are the same.

Remember posts like this and how they are so glib in the face of the autocracy. They will gaslight you, make you feel like you are the crazy one, and be the first to say you deserved it when you have finally have had enough and decided to push back.

It’s posts like this and how they are so glib in the face of autisitic-level lack of empathy. You people seriously can’t even for an instant entertain that you have been misled, lied to, it’s always those other people. There is no topic you are wrong on, wow, amazing! You aren’t the ones parroting a narrative (that always seemingly for no reason at all favors say… China), no no, it’s the other side , they’re the cult…

I don't want the country led by a malicious, bad-faith, sex predator, I don't care which side they are on; there is no amount of gas-lighting you can do to distract from that, no matter how much you want it to not be true.

> Making things slow and inefficient is not an inherent thing that needs to be preserved. The opposite, really. Making it slow and inefficient is how we try to prevent life-changing mistakes like "oops we deported a citizen and now they're dead in Tijuana".

I would actually expect the opposite. The slower and more inefficient a system is, the higher probability a life changing mistake happens. The more frequent something happens the better a system gets at handling that thing. Take for example restoring a site from backups. If you never have exercised disaster recovery before you may make some mistake or realize that something that should be backed up isn't. But if you…

The people who get exonerated of murder decades later would probalby disagree.

If you asked them if they would have wanted to be exonerated after 2 days instead of 2 decades 100% of them would say yes.

Of course they would prefer to be exonerated after 2 days.

That's not what would happen. Quick justice makes more mistakes, not fewer.

Fascism always needs an enemy/excuse/scapegoat, and if it can’t find one it makes one out of thin air. It can’t actually solve societal problems, that requires progressives.

I don’t think this has ever actually been a critique. It solves societal problems in a way that many people don’t like while introducing others.

No, it doesn't solve any. You know this because of all the lying and child rape and murder. That's not how people who genuinely want to solve problems and improve society act.

It's basically just a power grab by a tiny fraction (< 1%) of the population against everyone else (including the rubes). And it doesn't make the rich happy either because we are social animals. It's better to be poor in Finland than super rich in Somalia.

Yes, deny your eyes and ears, your masters love that. Enjoy the ashes.

That just leads to the second problem. Do you think a few car bombs would have stopped Nazis in their tracks? Or it would just create even more antipathy towards Jews?

The Nazis succeeded in wiping out their opposition through violence. Why is that you think that Nazis were able to, but the German left (in this hypothetical) would not have been able to do so in kind?

Yes, but this is in effect since 2023: > Proposed new law could see Swedish media prosecuted for espionage > Swedish media outlets who uncover news which damages Sweden's relations abroad could be charged with spying, if a controversial law gets the go-ahead. https://www.thelocal.se/20171207/new-law-could-see-swedish-m...

Note: de jure, not de facto. I'm pretty sure most news outlets would cave with the right pressure, with or without any new laws. On top of that is the fact that the department for foreign affairs is the department where the line between ministry and department is the thinest* - I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if, in such a scenario they'd be asked, especially by the US, to put a stop to something, they'd actual…

It always is until it is too late.
