It's true, I heard that in recent news protesters have gone from assaulting ICE officers with the smaller 6-inch subs to using entire footlongs.

The problem with refraining from political violence where it is warranted is that the other side will do it anyway and you end up dead.

I'm not worried about political violence because I haven't been denying anyone's constitutional rights, stealing from The People, denying anyone's health insurance claims, or roughing up peaceful protesters and random brown people. I didn't layoff a bunch of people to make my quarterly numbers. I'm not so hated I have to live on a military base out of fear.
It seems pretty simple: Live a life where, if you get plugged, nobody's cheering and everyone's angry.

I'm not taking sides here, but it seems the government might want to soldiers to quarter in my home, search my refrigerator, and seize my lemon pound cake. These anti-slavery protestors have been well-equipped with Constitutional protections and occasionally resistant to infringements. I have no knowledge. Obviously, media corporations should have more rights than human beings for the purposes of explaining why everything is just absolutely fantastic.

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.

I always wonder what people who say these things think about the fact that we have someone in the white house who was mentioned in the Epstein files more than Jesus was mentioned in the bible. Whatever it takes to get rid of those pesky aliens right?
These are completely orthogonal. That’s cool if you want to appeal to an in group, but I think you’ll find that a huge portion of the country thinks that we should have rules around immigration. So do most other countries.
You should probably argue your actual position instead of “your guy bad my guy good”. This comment is more Reddit than HN.

It's pretty amusing seeing someone really trying to do the "I'm just a casual observer here, but.." about this. Like who even is the intended audience for this pitch? Is there some critical analysis here you wanna push to convice people of something? It feels too casual to either be trying to change some minds or reinforce something already entrenched. Its like... nothing. Is this dead internet?

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.

Yes? At least in the US, the GOP has been working relentlessly for most of my life to reduce welfare, to reduce Medicaid, to make unionization difficult and to neuter existing unions, and most of all, cut taxes on the rich.
Right, so the idea is that right wing policy of cutting support systems is fueling right wing growth. People are dumb, or this is what they want? Both? Lol Seems weird though
The playbook has been to manipulate "low-information voters" by promising that you will attack a marginalized group of people. Get the voters to believe that you are on their side by echoing the fear and hatred they have for The Enemy.
Action against The Enemy replaces any action to directly address economic and social marginalization.
It's how we process information. Avoiding this cognitive glitch takes practice.

#79How does this work if they are not clearly defined on a map? Usually TFRs are shown on drone maps so you know where you can fly. If I am flying my drone and an unmarked ICE vehicle drives within half a mile am I in trouble?
This administration is overstepping legal bound left and right. If they want you in trouble, you'll be in trouble. Appeals to law, even if successful, will take too long.

Confusing, the right are the ones advocating for cutting these things?
Ask a lot of software engineers what they think about European-style salaries and taxes to pay for a welfare state.
What do you think “welfare state” means? Do you think “European-style” salaries solely occur because “European-style” people, for instance, have a different healthcare system?
