They’re just making a mountain out of a molehill.

I think I’ve just found the perfect GIF for the AI-pilled.

Trans rights are a niche issue, in that only a very small percentage of people are trans themselves. But that’s what makes trans rights a vital litmus test for politicians.

Will they uphold the human rights of a group of people whose votes they don’t need in order to win?

Not only would I be okay with that, I’d hope they then replaced all my avatar images online with that photo.

Dumbfucks will always dumbfuck. Trick is to get the voters who stayed home. The numbers I found with a quick search …

Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote.

Of the 65.3% of the eligible voters who voted.

Which means actually only 32.5% of Americans voted for him, in the sense of “could be arsed to get off the couch and cast a ballot”.

That’s an encouraging number to work with.

That’s not true!

Ludwig von Mises of the Austrian school of economics, writing in the 1920s …

No chapter of history is steeped further in blood than the history of colonialism. Blood was shed uselessly and senselessly. Flourishing lands were laid to waste; whole peoples destroyed and exterminated. All this can in no way be extenuated or justified. The dominion of Europeans in Africa and in important parts of Asia is absolute. It stands in the sharpest contrast to all the principles of liberalism and democracy, and there can be no doubt that we must strive for its abolition. The only question is how the elimination of this intolerable condition can be accomplished in the least harmful way possible.

Sometimes. It can be done honorably and with good outcomes; Japan and Germany post-WW2 are good examples.

I think the Vatican is sad that LLMs are encroaching on their turf of “very expensively harming people and especially minors while hallucinating about things that don’t exist”.

There had to be one upside to all the horrors.

Historically, totalitarian groups - Fascist, Communist, pretty much all *ists - have been peopled primarily by losers and grifters.

OTOH - consider the plight of Manning and Snowden. Perhaps a penalty of 2 years would encourage whistleblowers?

The American people will not accept anything less than serious punishment for MAGAs CRIMES.

As a non-American, I hope you’re right, but fear you’re not.
