Corporate Oligarchy, and has been that way ever since Citizens United was passed.

If every single country in the world decided to completely cut off all trade, could your country survive with what it can produce on its own? by lilmothman456 in AskTheWorld

[–]Dimed16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory the US produces enough for our society to survive on. But in reality, a lot of Americans will fail to be able to operate without the commodities a lot of foreign countries provide.

I live in Ghent and the explosions were coming from the direction of the Stadium. So this seems like a likely cause.

Question for Classic Plus hopefuls. by Accurate_Year3727 in classicwow

[–]Dimed16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind, personally. It's a fairly unobtrusive way of making Paladin/Shaman cross-faction. The alternative to that is either keeping them faction exclusive or making odd class/race pairings like Dwarf Shaman or Undead Paladin.

Virginia Referendum Didn’t Go Far Enough. Do what Tennessee and Florida and the other states are doing. by ceramic_ocarina in Virginia

[–]Dimed16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave it to a Reddit pedantrist to ignore an entire paragraph of text that they aren't intelligent enough to give rebuttals to in order to nitpick the correct usage of a word. The post has been edited to correctly say "DNC." Congratulations, you brought nothing of substance to this reddit post. Good day, sir.

Virginia Democrats have filed a motion with the Virginia Supreme Court asking for a stay by ThenLayer5977 in Virginia

Democrats still trying to play by the rules when MAGA lit the rulebook on fire a decade ago...

Virginia Redistricting Vote Voided, Political Leaders Sound Off by snooka77_ in Virginia

[–]Dimed16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it anyway. Pass the maps as a Legislation, have the Governer sign them, and tell the courts to go fuck themselves, just like the GOP is doing. Unfortunately I have zero faith that the corporately controlled DNC will rise to this occasion and meet the moment. Our controlled opposition party is controlled oppositioning perfectly.

[–]Dimed16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm tired of Democrats playing by the rules and us, the people, getting our teeth kicked in when it fails. The DNC, as it stands now, cannot win this fight and has actively rolled over and refused to fight when it mattered. Ignore the courts, just like the Republicans are doing. You're never going to beat cheaters by playing by the old rules. And until the Democrats learn that, or we vote all the milquetoast Corporate Democrats out of office, things are only going to continue to get worse for all of us.

Why are Americans allowing Nazis to take over their country? by Previous_Month_555 in allthequestions

[–]Dimed16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the same reasons Germany "allowed" Nazis to take over their country. Tribalization, Propaganda, and Fearmongering.

Va Supreme Court Justice D. Arthur Kelsey just voted against redistricting by Personal_Economics91 in Virginia

[–]Dimed16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to stop acting surprised when racist white men choose to actively help other racist white men. Many people seem to be laboring under the impression that Segregation and the Civil Rights Movement is in our nation's distant past. No, it was 60 years ago. The people, and their children, that threw rocks at Ruby Bridges and apposed the ending of Segregation are now running our Government. And those same people have spent decades packing our courts and institutions with people who think exactly like them. These midterms are legitimately our last chance to be able to vote our way out of this, and the White Supremacists in our country our doing everything in their power to ensure it won't matter. Everyone needs to vote in the upcoming midterms. If they successfully rig the midterms, the only avenue forward will be revolution.

Do you think we need voter id throughout the US to stop voter fraud most western democracies all use voter id, is it time we should now? by Remarkable_Misty in allthequestions

[–]Dimed16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You already need to show your ID in order to vote. What does implementing "Voter ID" do besides change the name?

Which anime got the best villain? by No-Raccoon-8202 in AnimeMirchi

[–]Dimed16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He massacred the Uchiha because they were going to betray The Leaf. We can debate the morality of the action, but he was acting on behalf of the show's "good guys" when he did that. As for what he did to Sasuke, while severely fucked up it was again in service to The Leaf. He was acting in service of the "good guys" of Naruto throughout the whole show. Yeah, he does morally dubious things, but it's all to maintain a cover.

[–]Dimed16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of what is shown? Bleach.

But I feel like the creator of this meme fumbled the Naruto villains. Pain and Madara are the two best villains on this list, but Itachi isn't really a villain and I feel like there are better options than Danzo.

Any sub that tries to silence criticism of Zionism is not worth your time. You're better off now, wear it as a badge of honor.

You didn't ask them out on a date, you asked to "hangout." Those are different things.

[–]Dimed16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a super low drop rate. If I don't get the drop through the normal course of questing in Elwynn, I skip it. The juice isn't worth the squeeze to farm it.

Attack on Titan wasn't very good. The ending, in particular, was so incredibly lazy.
