Supreme Court restores Trump to ballot, rejecting state attempts to ban him over Capitol attack

Reply in thread

I just got run out of hexbear because I believe voting for Biden, while shitty, is a form of harm reduction. I got called a genocide supporter and a fascist followed by hours of threats and wishes of harm, including my favorite. An emoji of a location where Nazis were executed by partisans in Yugoslavia.

I'm new to lemmy so just kinda assumed it was a leftist space. I didn't realize that it's just red tented Nazis with no actual love for their fellow human beings. Something I consider necessary to being a socialist in any form. That sucked.

'Shocking' footage shows handcuffed inmate who died after prison guards beat him

I am a former correctional officer of the texas department of justice and this exact same situation happened and I too stood by and listened as it happened. I helped escort the man from his cell to medical. I stood by listening to the other guard talk about how much of his ass he would be kicking. I stood there as they took him into a cameraless backroom and listened as they beat that man handcuffed. I stood to stop it, thoughts of pulling my pepper spray and going in there and just letting loose. A sergeant told me to sit back down and I did. I was not physically overpowered. I sat back down, and I listened. The only difference in this is that my victim didn't die. I reported it afterwards. I reported it to the warden, to the state, to the media. Warden tried to reassign me back under the command of the person I accused in the most dangerous part of the prison. The state sent an investigator but nobody talked but me, not even my victim. I sent everything I had to local media and prison rights groups and heard NOTHING back. No one cared. It happened all the time, it was sanctioned, it happens in every prison in this country. The only difference is that this man died and the countless others did not.

I look at those 14 names and I cannot help but feel I deserve to be on it. I was never punished for my cowardice. I quit, I say ACAB, I tell my story but I was not and never will be punished for my inaction because no one cares about an inmate being beaten by a guard unless he fucking dies.

Not op but I got perma banned for fighting with people who were defending massive pedophile Dr disrespect. They were arguing that "it was legal that means it's okay". I pointed out that the US is fucked and certain states have consent laws at 16. Legally he could fuck a 16 year old. However that doesn't change the fact that he's a pedophile scumbag regardless of legality.

I was then banned for "child sexual content" :)

Nobody panics when things go "according to plan."

That's the point. You did it. You discovered the discrepancy. No one cares and Infact we are celebrating. However the police are pumping money into mass manhunt, news is juicing the story nonstop. 10k reward for info. Obviously the powers that be care and care a lot that a CEO got shot. You don't. I don't. And yet by time it's over, hundreds of thousands of dollars will have been spent in man-hours hunting this guy down. An amount of money that would be ridiculous if you or I got shot. No one would care. But a CEO? nYPD pulling out every stop they got.

Outrage builds as video shows Idaho police shooting a knife-wielding autistic teenager

Reply in thread

Hi. Former officer of the Texas department of criminal Justice. They train fear into you. This is the intended response. This is the optimal outcome. This is exactly what he was trained to do. Half of the training is watching videos of police officers not reacting quickly or violently enough and dying and being told "always act first and monopolize the violence in the situation". Once again, I am a former officer of the Texas department of criminal justice. This is my personal experience.

ACAB. Fuck the police. It bastardizes everyone. Including me.

I don't know how to express this feeling I have properly so bear with me. I kinda hate the reference of political office as a job. It's not really a job. It's a position of societal power. One that should come with, frankly, deadly consequences when people in that position of power start talking like this. This is a branch of the government saying fuck the courts and their decision. There should be blood over that. Equating it to a job just rubs me wrong. Not to shit on you, I have no problem with what you said, I agree with it even. Just expressing general thoughts

Is literally nobody going to mention the fact the title of this post says "on October 7th" as if the game is about Oct 7th when it infact was released in 2022. The posters a liar, the article is a liar both to make this seem worse than it is.

Sure, a problem in the sense that it requires a solution. Capitalisms solution is infinite population growth via forced pregnancy. A non capitalist option is to simply use the very large amount of resources available to take care of the old folks. It's not profitable, but that's not the point.

Human population is the highest it's ever been in history. America is the 3rd largest country. Who gives a shit if some people don't adhear to your perceived gender norms? Why? Cause they won't have kids? You sling your same shit mouth hate at infertile people too? People who do adhear but choose not to have kids? Nah, you don't. Because it's a front for your irrational hatred. Give yourself any excuse you want. Pretend your being a logical Nazi when your just an insecure lil bitch boy who can't handle his snowflake normality being challenged.

Hi, western communist here. Russia is a christo-fascist state but some fellow commies have accepted the position that any faction against US global dominance is one worth supporting regardless of their actual policies and humanity. The idea being that the #1 goal should be the distruction of the hegemony that has oppressed many of the worlds nations in the hopes that communism can rise out of them now that they would be free to make that choice.

Most communists in the West are not like this. This is a specific subsection of communists who want to knowingly support christo-fascists. Most western communists fucking hate Russia.
