The one who was an obvious republican plant from day one? The one who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth from his families businesses but still chose to go kill brown people for fun, multiple times? The one who laughed while telling a story about using a grenade launcher as a makeshift mortar to bomb a designated civilian area against direct orders? The one with a totenkopf tattoo? The one who is a rapist?

Platner was never a leftist. Republicans are counting on dumb voters like you falling for surface level rhetoric to get their people in office. Don't be a sheep.

Weird how you think you know my opinions on all politicians and political topics from a single comment about one disgraced candidate. Are you delusional enough to think you're the smartest person in every room? Though you are a well known troll account, so this is likely just your silly attempt to pick a fight and agitate me. I'm a leftist that doesn't fit your boogeyman narrative, and I know from your comment history that this upsets you greatly, so seethe more about it.

Fetterman is and always has been a piece of shit as well. He and Platner both are great examples of how anyone can lie as much as they want during a campaign and then take the mask off the second the race is called with little to no penalty. This is a systematic problem with the antiquated political process and laws in the US. Fetterman is a problem regardless of what team his corporate sponsors tell him he's on this week.

Good try, though. Maybe you'll get me next time champ.

And the main devs of lemmy are red fash to the core and you're still here, so what's your point? FMHY is a great resource for a ton of tools and sites, and I think it's pretty wild to try to imply they're fash for mentioning one of the most popular VPNs, especially given their entire mission is to facilitate bypassing corpo and government restriction and control of media

It's the third item down on the gaming list, and starred?

And in response to him whistleblowing, his fellow boys in blue barricaded him in a cabin from the outside to prevent any chance of reasonable surrender, and then lit the building on fire and watched him burn alive for amusement until he decided to blow his brains out to avoid one of the most gruesome, painful, and slow deaths possible.

The media and courts didn't bat an eye at this because extrajudicial murder by arson is just SOP for an agency with actual, legitimately documented organized crime groups in its ranks.

One racist fake fighter wears the costume of another racist fake fighter thinking he's a champion and promptly gets taught that exhibition matches aren't shit, and that your opponent hits a lot harder when they train and fight to win, rather than for sponsorships and youtube clout.

Hope this chud finally realizes he isn't a boxer now that he took his first real punch and fucks off.

Admiral used Blahaj as an example of a "terrorist" instance in their rant.

This confirms they are just another garden variety fascist trying to sanitize the world around them because they're too fragile to adapt, and in their psychosis they think everyone else will support their obviously broken mindset.

Yo admiral fash, if you're here with us go ahead and add me to your walmart brand palantir system. I stand with LGBTQIA, and rest assured I'd have some violence for you for silencing their voices.

I was in the CJ field for 10 years, which opened my eyes to a lot. I know you think "they're fascists who ignore the law" is reductionist or untrue, but that is literally it. It is that simple. It is also not new, regular law enforcement in the US has been exactly like this for pretty much our entire history.

When you break the law, and you have powerful deeply ingrained cultures and institutions backing you that will look away or refuse to apply the law to you, then the law effectively does not exist. Laws are social contracts that are invented entirely by us, and literally do not exist if not enforced. The universe does not care. There is no karmic balance that steps in to even things out.

I think many are just ignoring this or trying to rationalize it some other way, because it is terrifying to come to terms with when you are told your entire life that these institutions, police and courts and laws and checks and balances, are in place to protect you. Law enforcement in the US has fascism and nationalism baked into its core, and most of them are actively wanting what ICE is doing. Many law enforcement are in their ranks or are assisting in ways that most people don't even realize. And beyond that, the rest of our judicial and political systems are also being manipulated or just blatantly ignored to pave the way for this.

Ultimately the question being posed to the US at this point is, what happens when the people in power do not care or feel empathy, except for their own goals, and there is no sufficient opposition. There are no easy answers to this. When two opposing forces collide, one or the other has to give in some way. ICE has had basically zero consequences for their actions, despite how blatantly illegal and wrong they are. So far, their side is applying more force and it shows.

Laughing my ass off reading through this. The sanctimonious and passive aggressive threatening tone is perfect for how much info it got wrong just because I use Firefox and an adblock. YOUR BROWSER DIDN'T TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, LIKELY BECAUSE ITS FIREFOX. BUT THAT MEANS WE KNOW YOU USE FIREFOX AND WE ARE CHOOSING TO BE SAFE WITH THAT INFO, YOURE WELCOME, PWNED!!!11!1111!1

Teaching people about fingerprinting and how important understanding it is for personal privacy is good, but acting like a 4chan script kiddy group and making bizarre empty threats like you're mr robot ain't it, dawg.

From other comments this is likely some AI slop to sell a product, but if they're serious they come off like they just slept through sec+ and think they're shadow brokers now lmao

Kirk believed LGBTQ+ deserved to be stoned to death, that women should be subservient breeding cattle, blacks had insufficient brain power to be leaders in our society and that the civil rights act was a mistake, children being murdered was worthwhile so that God could grant people rights, empathy was made up woke bullshit.

Are those the "politics" you're referring to? If those are your "politics" you might want to buy a neckguard.

Just checked out a trade in 2026 model at a dealership. Had 14k miles already in 8 months and had a damaged head unit display (2k for replacement). Told the dealership they were gonna struggle to sell it, especially given that there's an actual branded dealership selling these all day long a mile away with a quarter of the miles and no damage. It's been sitting on their lot 2 months already with barely any online hits.

GM had a hissy fit that I suggested 2k less than their price, OTD, for me to drive it off the lot.

I suspect I'll be getting a call back in a few weeks when their quotas are low and they realize they aren't selling gold-plated Ferraris.

Yes? You do realize tankies are a minority group and that in many nations "leftist" is just a normal political position?

I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to say here

You obviously cared enough to comment and obviously care enough about downvotes to cry about them. Maybe you can extend that to caring about things that matter, like artistic integrity.

As for me, I'll vote with my wallet. Just removed this from my wishlist.

What do we do about the murder of thousands by using AI to refuse medical care, and instead funnel the profits to shareholder portfolios?

Tell us you don't know what a mayor does without telling us you don't know what a mayor does

Reeeeeeeeeee I spouted centrist nonsense in a leftist space and I'm getting ratio'd reeeeeee

Sickens me that people are upvoting this and think this way. Oh won't someone think of the poor fascists. They need to provide for their families, so its okay for them to terrorize and kill indiscriminately.

These are not golden-hearted dimwits who just need to see the light. This is not a Disney movie with a villain redemption plot. These are fascists, do you understand what that means? They take pleasure in what they do because they think they are purging mutants and heathens for the greater good. The paychecks are a bonus. They are not using them to provide for their beaten children and raped spouses, they are using them to buy bigger guns to slaughter more "others"

You want to stay on the fence about fascism, go ahead. I can't stop you, I'm just text on the internet. But you are doing tangible harm to real people in this world by trying to white wash what is happening and giving a pass to the people making it happen.

Abugazeleh has been attacked by law enforcement several times while protesting ICE activity and is currently fighting bunk federal charges of conspiracy and assaulting police despite video evidence showing the opposite, while still running her campaign for congress

What have you done to fight the regime this week?
