The fact that anyone is going along with this is absurd. These people are not actually a part of the government, so these requests should just be refused outright. They have not been hired, elected, appointed, or vetted.

One of my favorite moments on reddit was spotting a bot that spouted unrelated nonsense. I checked the comment history and found users responding earnestly to the nonsense. While it was hilarious, it was also quite sad, the state of those people.
It isn’t whataboutism. I’m not listening to anything supporters of genocide have to say. They can’t decide genocide is only bad if it happens to them.
Are they boycotting Israel? If not, they can stfu.
Yup. Gene Sharp outlines successful nonviolent action in his book “From Dictatorship to Democracy.” I’m not opposed to violent action, but nonviolent is preferred if possible.
Don’t upset the gamers! They’ll whine on forums and dox randos that have nothing to do with anything!
That’s a terrible summary of my statement. I didn’t say I agree, I said it has happened, the course is set. This one election in one country isn’t the root cause, even if they are accelerationists. The world is a cruel place, always has been. I’m done spending my energy worrying about it, I’m resigned to humanity’s well-earned fate.
The rest of this century is only going to get progressively worse for everyone, regardless. Wealthy nations, as a whole, will not be spared. Oligarchs, including the wealthy from “poor” nations, will be able to extend their time of comfort, but it will catch up with them to.
This is what the people wanted, so let them have it. They will leave a polluted, ever hotter husk to their dim-witted and suffering children. Good for them! I’ve made sure I haven’t reproduced, so I’ll just enjoy what I can while I’m able. They’ve decided on their children’s inheritance, who am I to argue?
Do you not have a general understanding of European history? That would be quite surprising.
Than you should understand the reference 🤣
I’m also against tax dollars spent to build toll rolls, especially if they are handed over to private entities. I’m not familiar with your postal system, but it would be odd if it requires a significant amount of public funds to operate.
Yes, the lowest income may not be able to afford cars, but that ignores the large swaths of barely surviving folks that can and do operate vehicles out of necessity. For instance, many in the service industry or “unskilled labor” likely have to commute in to work in these places they can’t afford to live. Depending on their location, there may not be public transportation in the meaningful sense to get them to work. There should be provisions to address this, but there often isn’t.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, though I do have two concerns with this approach in general.
Were these roads funded by taxes on the public? If so, will this be addressed now that the public is essentially barred entry without further paying?
This specifically targets, impacts, and restricts those with lower incomes. Are there any provisions to address this? Likely not.
My first thought when reading “surgical mutilation” was also circumcision, given the US context.
I didn’t realize Nixon was so well liked in his time. He’s always been this joke of a failed politician (publicly, not in private political circles) my entire life.
The article specifically stated that the editors are being targeted for “antisemitism” due to mentions of colonialism and genocide. What I said was relevant to the discussion.
An Israeli themselves accurately summed up what the Israeli state represents: “Rhodesia with nukes.” There is no redemption for the colonialist geonicide apartheid state.
Advising is a far cry from allowing them to access the personal information of millions of people and alter the code of our infrastructure. This is definitely unprecedented and unacceptable.
