"We got caught by the public, and we want to keep this excuse possible in the future. So we're dropping it from now so the court doesn't set a legal precedent that will fuck us over."

No, there was a lot more that came of this (unless you're specifically referencing the snitching part).

• It's made business execs afraid.
• It's shown the working class how to have solidarity.
• It's been a rallying cry for how much the people hare the current system.
• It's given us a martyr.
• It’s taught the would be school shooters that they’ll get lots of positive attention for redirecting their targets towards those deserving. They’ll get labeled a folk hero, they’ll have people trying to send them money for their legal defense fund, they’ll get their name in the history books. They’ll get everything they ever wanted out of their act of violence.

And I'm sure there's more.

I feel like this article is really missing out the part where oil interests are intentionally funding hatred of other modes of transportation. The PragerU video on "The War on Cars" is a good example. They are funded by oil companies, and this is public information that is easy to find. And they use that platform to prevent other modes of transportation from being safe or viable.

Good. He is an international treasure.

Good. Burn it all down and replace it with universal healthcare.

And IIRC, he only did so through siphoning off the value of free facebook/craigslist furniture.

It sucks that the only reporting on this is shitty tabloids.

I think the "weird" attribution has a way of infecting his supporters as well.

If you support a criminal, that doesn't necessarily make you a criminal. If you support a corrupt politician, that doesn't make you a corrupt politician.

But if you support somebody weird? Well that makes you weird. Trump's weirdness infects you. It's the cheese touch of politics.

And now that they've made unions all but illegal, we'll eventually return to that trusted tradition.

Either we settle things collectively and politely, or we settle things not so politely.

Maybe running a political party off of hate wasn't such a good idea.

The author here knows what they're talking about, and while not explicitly saying it, they're saying there will be more Luigi's, Adjusters, whatever attention grabbing description you like.

More business execs will be recognized as the tyrants they are, and shot. Because the entire world just taught all the school shooter types that shooting a business exec will turn you into a folk hero. It will get you fame and admiration. It will get people trying to send you money for your legal defense. It will get you people spreading the word about jury nullification to use the system against itself.

This month taught would be school shooters to instead go for board members, ceos, and billionaires. And it's a far better lesson.

Our planet becoming nearly uninhabitable or uninhabitable with millions if not billions of people dying seems like a bigger problem. But then again spreading hate about the LGBTQ+ is more important to the spokesperson for 'god'.

I hope it's effective.

That's not really the point.

The higher the turnout, the better. It's easy for them to do a repeat of the 2000 election. But not if there is a wide enough margin.

a lot of the people complaining on twitter are not even gamedevs and don’t know what Godot is

You're probably right. Homophobes aren't the brightest of the bunch.

Maybe next time leave the ladder behind instead of taking it with you.

I'd take RCV over nothing, but STAR and approval are significantly better like the other user said.

Some reasons for approval

• Addition is the only math involved. So it is extremely easy to get live results during counting. It makes auditing votes extremely easy.
• It is dead simple to understand, so the least amount of voters will be confused by it.
