then:

Why don't you ever tell me things?

Well, mostly Jupiter and a little bit of Saturn.

Particularly in instances where you cannot verify the authenticity of the officer, such as no-knock raids or being grabbed off the street.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

I just don't understand how to shake people out of apathy. By scores of metrics, America is doing terribly compared to other Western democracies, and the proof is ready and evident. But Americans just don't care, "who is kamala harris" was trending on google on election day.

Then add all that on top of disinformed Americans that will fight to keep their chains.

I do think it's possible to vote your way into a situation you cannot vote yourself out of.

Like, for example, the way the system is currently setup gives much more representation (and therefore power) to smaller states. To change that, we would need to amend the constitution which would require a super majority. When have institutions willingly voted to give up their unearned power?

It would absolutely make more people a target

That's true, but at the same time, aren't most people already boycotting what they can? I think anyone who feels bad about supporting shitty companies are already avoiding them when they can, and if they can't, well there isn't much more to do until we hit mutual aid networks.

thats not what an antimeme is, this meme has a very standard punchline

The concepts are good, but in a system perverted from justice, you cannot trust the laws to be enforced correctly or legislated properly. Like how copyright has been perverted into virtually nothing entering the public domain for a couple generations thanks to Disney.

Your lifestyle determines your deathstyle.

Who is coincidentally the commander-in-chief of the military

what was the community/instance?

actually after looking at the rules, I'm surprised too. maybe the mods just saw the advice dog thumbnail and moved on

Yeah, that's kind of the idea, like starting a trend of sabotaging multinational companies that have warehouses and logistics all across the country. Anyone near one could be inspired and do their part.

Hate speech aside, feds that encourage a system "of the people, by the people, for the people" are okay with me.

Well, that's part of my point. Everyone who stopped eating at Chick Fil A stopped 10+ years ago, everyone else doesn't care. Anyone willing to boycott is already boycotting, and they can't boycott any harder until we have a method of acquiring necessities from somewhere else.

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

Not against the idea in spirit, but that's not distributed and not feasible for many people who live far from corporate HQs.

Now now, we can't start holding AI to higher standards than real doctors.

Obviously the ideal amount of political violence should be zero. If any other option exists, I think those must be taken first.

But sometimes the status quo is violence, and letting the status quo continue doing violence will overtime do more harm than one act of political violence. So mathematically, there must be some point where some violence is worth the cost of less harm in the future.
