I disagree with that stance. Some rights are more safe than others and some are more costly to maintain. The only thing one can say is a ruler who doesn't respect some rights, may not respect others. Tons of rights have been abandoned, those of the poor vs the rich for instance, and it didn't erase all rights.

Every national guard member and solider has a choice to obey these illegal orders.

Because the wealthy have become more powerful than the levers. Someone 99% tax is looking real good.

Makes me sick. We no longer have any right to privacy and they have no respect for ours. The entire digital landscape is becoming a liability.

Well said.

Yes, there is no good option. Everything is a risk. But everything is also at risk. We can't trust people will help after? Can one endure a disproportionate amount of sacrifice to fight for the entire progressive movement? This entire situation is not about any specific issue, its about the entire framework of law and governance. All rights. All of it.

If someone can't see anything beyond their own grievances, were they ever a progressive? Or were progressives the only option for trans? Are trans rights somehow more important than brown rights? Or immigrant rights? Women's? Everybody's rights?

This is not business as usual. This is potentially the end of democracy in America and if someone won't help because they're not getting enough attention, they an asshole. That is a level of selfishness that is cruelty, to anyone that was once called an ally. The safest spaces in American for trans are still the progressive side. So not supporting the best available option is wise?

There are no good options, so refuse to pick the best one? Insane to me. Massive strategic error. It ends wherever the left is capable of ending it and right now, nobody knows where that is but it isn't where it is now. You don't think the left is trying just because they haven't succeeded? Maybe more participation is what halts the Nazis marching as soon a possible. But disengage instead...that will help you...

Who else are they going to support though? Two parties have a stranglehold. Your options are between not good enough, horrible, and not participating at all. Not preventing Republicans also disempowers your voice in regard to all other issues and means revoking support for everyone elses issues. So why would those people keep supporting yours as much?

What corporate business does best.

Well isn't that just a perfect representation of the consequences of GOPs leadership.

Shaping hearts and minds. Looks pretty fucked when it's happening to us. We are all being manipulated.

Stop socializing! It's devastating to our ability to control your lives!

This is just how capitalism work in general. Imagine how many amazing ideas don't see the light of day because the creators know the markets will steal it, fuck them over, introduce a worse version to the world and then bin it when it has no more value. Capitalists are thieves, plain and simple and AI has newly empowered them in the software sector.

No sad, only happy!

Saudies let's not forget what just fucking happened. EA is now run by the Saudies and the trump family.

That's a threat.

Yeah but they did that for black people so like...it was wrong.

Why would he stop if he isn't stopped? It's unclear if the west, with all its advantages, is even capable of action.

I do this all the time and so do my coworkers. In fact, it's enshrined in our employment agreement that all our industry relate ideas are company owned. It's absolutely an abusive and exploitative system, no better represented today than by capitalism.

Must have a pretty significant interest in them staying in power...let's find out why by kicking them out.

That's what pre-order incentives are for.
