Mostly right, other than the fact that the murdering of people of color by the state’s armed thugs, whites, or “model minorities” was normalized before the inception of the USA state. This is what the American state has always represented and has little to do with Trump, other than the fact that he doesn’t try to hide behind a veneer of decency and respectability.
France still holds Haitians financially responsible for…refusing to be slaves over 200 years ago. Haiti has such a rough time now because the US and EU continue to punish the country for representing the only successful slave revolt.
You can’t let internet randos get you that upset.

That was very common when I was growing up. Unfortunately, it has been replaced with variations of autistic, though “anti-woke” people will use both.
Strictly from an environmental perspective, no. This tech generates massive emissions and consumes a large amount of fresh water at a time when both are at critical points. We are going full speed towards a planet inhospitable to human life and the other life we share the planet with.
Those companies don’t need refunds, they made their money off our backs and will continue to do so because they’ll continue to charge the inflated rates. The sacred line must always go up.
Ford had a “service department” whose only purpose was to beat the shit out of employees for things like taking too long in the bathroom or talking bad about the company. Ford was complete trash.
That’s exactly what I said. The author’s proposed scenario included a “legal” framework that doesn’t exist. If they make a move around the elections, it will be violent, not some executive order that has no bearing on the states administration of the election.
Elections can not be delayed, nor can the federal government dictate to states how to administer elections (outside violations of the constitution, which are adjudicated by the courts, not executive orders). The constitution outlines the years in which elections for federal office are to take place, federal statute sets the date, and state laws cover the administration of the election. In order to do what is described in this article there would need to be a constitutional amendment(s) allowing changes to the set years for elections to the house and senate, for the house and senate to propose/pass a change of the statute signed off by the president, and then to either have the states all change their laws or have a case make it through courts and receive a judgement before the election that states not requiring voter I.D. costs the constitution. This is simply not possible within the time constraints, if at all. While the fascists certainly want a coup, this is not the route. Their move will be drastically more violent or continue on the slow, but escalating, course it is currently taking.
I haven’t been voting for this shit. Typical smug ass Europeans. You’re just as bad as white America, going the same way internally, and commit just as many crimes. You aren’t better, you’re just the drummer.
As an American, I couldn’t care less. Our taxes fund this research, and yet we receive zero benefit from it. The only people that benefit are the wealthy and citizens of other western countries. Fuck 'em.
Agreed, it definitely has always been there. I’m from a diverse family that covers all races, as well as many ethnicities and countries of origin. Even within my family, I’ve experienced racism, colorism, etc, and it was always baffling to me growing up. I think the internet has allowed the ghouls to finally feel comfortable taking their mask off in public. If we could stop that hate, especially from majority groups (regionally dependant), then we could truly push for societies that lift us all up.
This is not shocking or surprising. Trump represents white America, and this is pure, unadulterated, white America. The internet has allowed white Americans to be their complete shit selves in relative anonymity to the point that they now realize the majority of their brethren are bathing in the same fecal pools, so that many are emboldened to go mask off. Ask any person of color what their experience is online, and they’ll tell you this is typical white behavior, including white women (we see you Stacey).
I get off work at this god awful hour to learn that the US has performed an extrajudicial kidnapping of a foreign leader and their spouse. This fucking wild and I hope it doesn’t turn into regional conflict for all our sakes.
That claim is so goofy. There’s too much money to be made in NYC, even with higher taxes. Furthermore, three city is a cultural center that they absolutely want to be a part of.
If they have learned that, I also hope the memory lasts.
Latino men knew this policy position when they joined the cauc block in re-electing Trump. I’m frankly surprised they’ve swung back.
Via war and it’s fallout, yes. The disruption to food, safe water, shelter, medical care, etc can increase the death toll well beyond direct casualties. Those are the most immediate effects, which doesn’t take into account the extreme pollution caused by munitions or burning structures/vehicles. All this is also only considering the use of “conventional” weapons.
“You love to see it, folks!”
This isn’t an informed guess, but I’d imagine it has to do with ground suitability, as well as risks caused by the ocean and weather. I recently read an article that major cities in the area, away from the coast, are causing the ground to sink below their weight.
