It’s all good buddy:)

Didn’t know. Their crime is not being informed about something that they wouldn’t know about. Increase your chill, friend.

Give me a break…

I see what you did there… Lol.

What short memories. Don’t they know that people are willing to die for these rights?

It’s not fun to be the enemy of a nation state. Stopping was probably the smart choice.

I wonder what the limit is of the prosecutor’s ability to appeal it and if they would be able to appeal it all the way to the supreme Court.

IANAL

I gochu internet friend.

Gochu internet friend.

I disagree. Flooding the internet with disinformation isn’t that expensive and although it’s probably impossible to measure, I think there’s tremendous potential to sway opinions.

Russian troll farms and bot farms come to mind.

To what you said, I don’t think there would be so much effort if it didn’t work.

This is one example: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/fake-joe-biden-robocalltells-new-hampshire-democrats-not-vote-tuesday-rcna134984

I haven’t researched this or anything, but this kind of thing feels like low-hanging fruit that moves needles.

If you know of any interesting articles or studies about the topic, I’d definitely be interested in them! 🙂

That’s exactly how it works. Find the fault lines and apply pressure. If you do it right, it doesn’t even cost much.

I don’t understand this article or it’s author. In my mind, the reaction to 9/11, the search for weapons of mass destruction, The quick disappearance in silencing of the occupy Wall Street movement, the quick disappearance and silencing of the Black lives matter movement…

Hell, let’s go further back… The Vietnam war!

Sweet summer child… how are they just now figuring this out?

Not that I’m against the US action world war II, but even then the American populace needed some very strong convincing to become involved. Nobody wanted to touch it. The sentiment of the people then was that it was unimportant and distant and had no impact on the US.

I remember a history teacher pointing out that it was just a little bit odd, just a little bit unusual, that during such political unrest in the world that so many ships would be drydocked at Pearl harbor, just lined up all pretty.

To be clear, that war was a fully righteous cause but how we got there was… well, let’s just say there’s a lot of gray area.

Assuming the driver wasn’t being negligent, I feel bad for them. I bet their life is hell now

I feel ya. All this just lends to increased dispair. Kierkegaard would be disappointed.

History may not exactly repeat itself but it sure does rhyme an awful lot!

I miss little details like that all the time. In the article, the photo is captioned. I didn’t read the caption till someone mentioned it looked like burr was there. I love the look on his face.

Research Hitler’s rise to power and also the rise of fascism generally. Also look up “boiled frog”

Also maybe read this TL;DR: by GPT. I think the big thing is people feel powerless to stop him. Also nobody wants him to be a martyr. There are plenty others, some worse, that would take his place.

More words please. I’m interested.

Still learning how to Lemmy. Thought I could have an article link and an image at the same time.

F.

It’s a ufc fight. I think it’s him.

He doesn’t look too happy.
