You’re completely correct and I for one am hoping the recent events finally get Canada to break ties with the US so we stop enabling them. We also have our share of atrocities separate from the US that we need to atone for, namely the treatment of Indigenous peoples and the environment.

Reminder that the Democrats would be considered even further right than the Conservative Party in Canada. And Canada itself is still considered pretty right wing with no big leftist parties (NDP is still center-right at best)

Better sex education, access to contraception/abortion, and generally women having more control over when they have children/how many children they want to have under socialism was claimed to have taken “victims” too. Because if you’re not accidentally getting pregnant at 19 with no recourse other than giving birth to children you didn’t want, that’s oppression by a totalitarian dictator.

When your 100% computer based job could have been done at home while petting your dog but management insists you come into the office so they can have more control over you.

Money’s got nothing on hate. Nothing unites the Right more than hate, every fascist ideology centres around hate for a certain group. Be it Jews, Palestinians, Chinese, or Hispanics.

Why didn’t they just write messages to each other?!?! Are they stupid?

Politicians

Not American and out of the loop, is MAGA threatening to take people’s guns??? Didn’t have that one on my bingo card, I thought MAGA held access to guns in higher regard than access to water.

Any legal experts want to weigh in on whether this is even allowed? CC0 by definition has no limitations, but GPL very explicitly has limitations for what the code can be used for, and also applies to derivatives. If it was their own code but was officially submitted to the Linux repo, who owns it and gets to decide how the code can be licensed?

America going full sour grapes right now. “We weren’t the first to develop this technology so obviously the technology sucks and is not viable.”

Don’t forget your headgear!

I like the darkness because then I can’t see shit like this

Skill issue probably. They want to collect more but Musk’s shitty hires can’t figure it out. /s

Colour me unsurprised

Hey, don’t smear bastards like that! The vast majority of bastards aren’t psychopathic monsters like cops. And the vast majority of cops were not extramarital offspring.

The consequence of always choosing the middle ground is that the middle ground will be progressively pulled toward the right.

It’s like finding the average of an array of integers. If someone keeps adding negative numbers to the array, eventually the average will be negative. The people who instinctively go “but compromise!!!” without question or criticism are no smarter than a computer blindly computing the mean of a list.

An important distinction is security for whom? When a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie passes some piece of security legislation, their sole concern is security for the rich elite, not the commoners. In that case, oppression of the people is not an unintended consequence of the legislation going wrong like this image suggests, we’re collateral damage at best and the intended victims of the legislation at worst.

What if you’re in one of those bouncy castle things with the big wheel that turns around and you have to duck to avoid it?
