Whoa! Thanks for the recommendation, looks sick.

Where is my cyberpunk french revolutionpunk rpg setting crossover??

All they care about is power, so as long as he is the most powerful man on Earth, nothing. Their plan is probably to use him to get their agenda through until 2028 then maybe change the ticket around or hope he dies in office. I can’t imagine them turning on him before that.

Wring it out real good like.

“Comfortable, wealthy neoliberal who does interviews with and works with fascists and is not personally targeted by them bravely says some macho stuff while his state’s residents get disappeared and shot at.” Is the actual headline here, but Gavin is hoping that a little grandstanding will let him make a presidential run later without actually doing anything for his constituents. He should be doing so, so much more than he is and yet so many people seem desperate for a win that they are willing to call this a victory rather than like, a potential signal that he might, potentially, care about his citizens a little, hypothetically.

Ea-nasir strikes again!

Yeah, if reddit wants to start sending all the people who made its content their fair share then by all means. Doubt they’re gonna make any attempt to do that, though.

I know your question is rhetorical, but hypothetically China could do that with the aim of whipping up their population into hating the American government more, making them more willing to swallow local authoritarianism and foreign imperialism framed as national defense.

It’s already on for real. Hypernormalization is a bitch. That might shock us all for an afternoon but we’d be back to the same discourse a week later.

It’d be a bit like if China and it’s entire sphere once a year went crazy commemorating the Kent State or Haymarket Massacre. They wouldn’t be wrong to say these are bad things, but it’d clearly be in service of some ulterior motive.

This is by design, too. Disenfranchise the minority and then keep pretending society is meritocratic and then “if they really wanted to survive or escape they would have made more money.”

Some websites are literally only providing the very top of the article, and if you block the banner you will find that it abruptly ends. In cases like this, you can use archive.ph, though.

The Supreme Court ruled that the president is above the law during Biden’s term. It was entirely in his power to take enforcement action and let the courts sort it out later.

And a competent human dishwasher gets a better clean than a machine. That’s not going to stop their adoption. They will just keep some fraction of the workforce previously performing a given task to check answers.

I don’t remember there being CCTV everywhere in the wild west.

Nobody is stopping anyone from requesting the information from users via, say, a form they fill out, or enabling data tracking for a specific user-enabled purpose. The only thing people are advocating against is users’ info being collected without their knowledge, consent, or both. Nobody is losing any freedom.
