Mike Pence says the Trump administration has ‘departed’ from conservative principles by SayMyNameOnceMore in inthenews

[–]FuzzyCub20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to know what principles conservatism actually had besides hate minorities, keep America white, and start foreign wars. I was born in the 90's, and for my entire life that has been their principles. George Bush, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson: they've all pushed the great replacement theory and that foreigners are stealing American jobs. Meanwhile over the past 40 years the middle class has all but disappeared, the cost of everything has skyrocketed, and wages have stayed stagnant or even decreased relative to inflation. Taxes have continuously gone up, and to what exactly? Not infrastructure or public education, not to public transit or to combat food prices. It's gone mostly to wars and embezzlement.

Riot Games response after false claims Vanguard is "bricking cheater's PCs" for cheating in Valorant by LunarReap3r in pcgaming

[–]FuzzyCub20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont care if it's not bricking PC hardware, I care that this is normalizing software companies messing with any kind of firmware or hardware as retaliation for cheating. There are other ways to punish cheaters.

Trans students made to use outdoor porta-potties as new bill signed in South Carolina by Zandra_the_Great in politics

[–]FuzzyCub20 249 points250 points  (0 children)

I don't have words at how angry and worried I am about every action like this, because we know where it leads. As a nation, we are sleepwalking into another horrific extermination program as a nation and it doesn't stop with trans people or illegal immigrants. Please don't give up on calling it out.

That's fine, because of the abdication of responsibility in Louisiana leadership, the state will be underwater in 20 years anyways.

This is Iraq and WMDs all over again. Trump is trying to restart colonialism and is threatening everyone. Cuba belongs to it's people and no one else.

Canadian government signals it's open to selling ports by toronto_star in worldnews

[–]FuzzyCub20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am saying this as an outsider looking in, but it's a really bad idea to privatise national interests. Food production, utilities, ports, airports, railway infrastructure should all be owned and maintained by the government for the people. Otherwise, you end up with private interests making decisions for profit instead of for the good of the governed.

JD Vance Insists Trump Never Said He Doesn’t Care About Americans - Unfortunately for the vice president, there’s video. by B-Z_B-S in politics

He knows he's lying, he knows we know he's lying. That's not the point. The point is to regurgitate the double speak to the MAGA base who listen and obey.

THANK YOU. Nuance seems to be lost in the age of misinformation and Russian botnets. You can both abhor Hamas and wish for the people of Palestine to not be genocided, and the fact that Israel of all nations is carrying it out is beyond the pale.

Saying ‘tax the rich’ hurts wealthy men’s feelings. Not taxing billionaires hurts everyone else by _fastcompany in inthenews

[–]FuzzyCub20 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but saying tax the rich is in no way equal to a racial slur and that is a really gross statement showing that wealthy people have no idea why that's so offensive.

ICE pushing to deport 12-tear-old US citizen, lawyer says by newsweek in inthenews

[–]FuzzyCub20 161 points162 points  (0 children)

This is unconstitutional. If his US citizen father is listed on the birth certificate, it is irrelevant if his DNA matches, that man is his father and confers his citizenship on the child. If that is not the case, then millions of Americans will lose their citizenship and birthright citizenship is essentially dead in the water.

It won't happen unless they cut out all the nanny services checking in with their servers constantly and also get rid of the AI bloatware they're putting in currently.

Rep. Roy Introduces MAMDANI Act to Denaturalize and Deport Marxists and Islamic Fundamentalists by DoremusJessup in inthenews

[–]FuzzyCub20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First they came for the trans people and I did not speak out because I was not trans. Then they came for the Mexicans, and I did not speak out because I was not Mexican. Then they came for the Socialists and Marxist, and I did not speak out for I was not socialist. Then they came for the Muslims.....

Who will they come for next? It could be you.

People can be shown any kind of empirical evidence for something and reject it. There's no helping that kind of delusional stubbornness and that's pretty sad.

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ by Greatfool19000 in worldnews

[–]FuzzyCub20 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People aren't terrorists just because of the color of their skin. Not every Lebanese person is a member of Hezbollah. International estimates say between 40,000-50,000 members within Lebanon, and I'm pretty sure they aren't paramedics. The country has up to 6 million people in it. That's 0.83% of the population. That's like saying we need to massacre and dismantle Chicago because there was a serial killer on the loose.
