@mkristensson @ai6yr I imagine with the Republican shutdown, it's completely up in the air when/if anyone gets paid/funded anymore.

@paninid @Em0nM4stodon I never thought about it in terms of religious connotations, but I think this does make a bit of a valid point. Many people in this country are raised from early on to think they have no privacy from at least one being. Maybe this goes a long way to explaining why so many seem to just shrug off giving up privacy rights among other humans.

EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I think they're taught to accept said being as to be trusted. So they accept corporations

@nixCraft If true this is more scary than even intended because I'm about 90% sure that the bubble is very close to bursting now...

@benroyce It truly amazes me how many people did a whole "Democrats aren't good enough, so I'll just let the Republicans win" thing.

Every single issue that Democrats are less than ideal on or even taking the wrong side on, Republicans make 1000x worse. Every. Single. Issue.

FFS, even Gaza, the one thing people used most against Democrats has Trump now basically doing everything he can to directly support the genocide... Democrats were hedgey, but Trump is 100% backing it.

@dnkboston @benroyce "Biden's inaction"
I especially love this part.

Harris was not Biden...

I do believe Biden would eventually have come around though. Oh he was absolutely in the wrong about Gaza, but I honestly believe that by this time this year he would have already come around if he had remained president. I *KNOW* Harris would have listened to reason. I'm certain. I can't prove it, but she was much too intelligent to stay on the wrong side.

But we all know where Trump stands...

@kingrat I think you're confused. You tagged me. I merely responded.

@kingrat In general perhaps, but this is something where it is *VERY IMPORTANT.*

Sometimes the difference between a kidnapping and an arrest may seem like a thin line. Not in this though. They are flagrantly acting outside the law, violating the Constitution itself and actually just straight up kidnapping whoever they feel like then getting away with it. We're talking internationally recognized crimes against humanity here.

(Not to mention the concentration camps and human trafficking...)

@jeridansky @kingrat @ai6yr Let's not even use the word "arrested." They do not have a warrant and do not get court orders. These are illegal kidnappings.

@BruceMirken I wish it was possible to actually do this. Somehow hold the people who spread disease or misinformation that causes others to spread it responsible for their actions.

These people have killed so many, indirectly or directly and they just don't care. Why should they? Our society refuses to hold them the least bit responsible for their horrific actions.

@GreenSkyOverMe I hope this is America in the near future.

Because we don't have long left at all. That fire is burning *FAST* around us.

I guess to some extent it's the world as a whole really, but man are we in the US staring right at flames two inches from our noses right now.

@Lydie Funny how "being a decent person" has become "political far left extremist."

@mcnado The thing that drives me positively wild is that YOU CAN LITERALLY JUST GET A MICROSCOPE AND SEE GERMS YOURSELF!

All these people floating ridiculous "alternate theories" (misusing the word theory to instead mean "baseless claim" rather than theory) that it's all other things could literally just buy freaking microscopes.

Heck, if they think someone is magically beaming fake images into them, they could make their own microscopes. It's ultimately just lenses. It can be done.

@Catawu @mcnado I don't know. Gathering up innocent people and shoving them together in tent camps with only mylar blankets, improper food, unsafe water, etc etc during a raging pandemic (and really just any diseases existing) seems pretty darned cruel and non-human to me.

At this point it's less about a level of cruelty and more about trying to terrify as much as possible for them. They aren't more cruel, just they're more open as a terrorist cel.

@Catawu @mcnado It is truly scary how close we are indeed.

They'll probably start with intentionally spreading disease would be my guess. They've already taught America that anyone who gets really sick or dies from a disease was just weak and deserved to die.

@inthehands Looks like we had to go even smaller to find anything willing to play a sad tune for them.

But can a tardigrade shed even a single tear for Tesla?

@inthehands

@inthehands Literally it's the Penguin running for office today...

A literal criminal, openly being criminal, yet somehow he convinces people that he's smart and that the good guys are evil.

If someone (I think Robin?) hadn't played a recording of him talking in private about tricking people he probably would have won. That doesn't work today....

@cwebber I've been trying to get this through to people since Trump floated the idea of having his political enemies executed before the election. (Back when every newspaper was repeating over and over that Biden was old and very pointedly ignoring that Trump was practically the same age but showing signs of bad dementia in comparison.)

ICE is essentially a gestapo. They can grab anyone off the streets, bypassing due process. You don't have to be an immigrant even. You don't get to show ID.

@inthehands It's also the definition of psychopathy.

@carstenfranke @inthehands I'm given to understand that emergency personnel actually had trouble breaking through the glass on at least one occasion. So even this may not be good enough. They don't really design them to meet safety standards, just to satisfy Musk's desperate need to be a cyberpunk villain, so they kind of skipped over a lot of stuff like finding the right balance on parts like the glass.
