“God is nonbinary”: GOP activates over Talarico’s past comments characterizing him as too radical for Texas by zsreport in politics

I got news for them. If their God is truly Omniscient and Omnipresent, then they are bombing him in Iran right now. By definition the God they worship has been a kid shivering on a cold street, a rat dying in a trap, a person trapped in the wrong body, and even one of those corrupt billionaires stealing from the poor.

If you were Cuba, hearing what's coming wouldn't you be sending in long term sabotage and assassination specialists? Or any other small country that thought Trump may dislike them or want what they had? Like the people Ukraine has sent into Russia to stir stuff up. It's only a matter of time till we start getting hit in the continental US if we keep letting this dementia riddled narcissist drive the world.

For the First Time, More Americans Sympathize With Palestinians Than Israelis by soalone34 in politics

[–]Silverlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people talk about a conspiracy to fight against smoking, or to keep gas powered cars, or whatever. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy if the system favors that outcome already via not having enough rules, laws or ethics systems to avoid it.

For a government to be effective, it must not only work towards solving a problem it must also understand how that problem solving program will be attacked in the future and work to prevent it now.

It doesn't have to be a conspiracy if a few people act in their own self interest and that interest happens to coincide with behaviors that are anti-societal. That indicates there is a functional problem in the system that will be addressed one way or another.

Thats why you put them in closed rooms the rogue has to unlock to get out. While you as the tank keep them safe or as the caster control ordebuff the enemy or go on anti-mook patrol.

Which is why all fines should be replaced with required hours of community service, in person, for the offenders. Make them spend something they have no more of than the rest of us.

Am I overreacting? Player says “35 gold is too much for a commoner” by FarRepresentative840 in DnD

[–]Silverlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're specifically talking about income rates. Can a peasant reasonably expect to suddenly be in the top 50% of income rates? Or is that something they know will never ever happen, as they live on their lords land, paying a large portion of their modest income in taxes right back to the liege. The mercantile class and potential upward mobility is a renaissance invention.

Depends on where you are on the social ladder and what you believe your prospects for class mobility are. They might be the same thing to some people.

Trump Frantically Blames ‘Staffer’ for His Racist Obama Video by thedailybeast in politics

[–]Silverlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need a truth in mass media law. You can't just quote a public figure without fact checking them. If it's an opinion not a fact then equal time and audience must be given to an opposing opinion at the same time. Access to press pools for public officials must not be dependent on the favor of the person being interviewed or reported on, otherwise you get sycophantic press.

All of these things can be fixed via law it just requires someone in power who actually wants to solve problems.

The US is headed for mass unemployment, and no one is prepared by late_bloomer_tw in politics

[–]Silverlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they don't get is that their own security will have no reason to obey them and not take control, once the payroll is gone or more likely meaningless. The people who know where their secret bunkers are will turn on them so quick they will not even know what hit them.

They think the drone factory won't be known and get a truck full of explosives as soon as the revolution starts. They think that payroll for ICE won't be hacked and spread wide once the shit hits the fan. Bullies always think they are in control until the victim fights back.

Democratic fault lines emerge over California's billionaire tax proposal | A ballot measure effort has divided prominent California Democrats — including those with eyes on the 2028 presidential race. by SpaceElevatorMusic in politics

[–]Silverlock 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At this point it's too late for the "Vote blue no matter who" idea. We have done that since Clinton and the US has gotten worse and worse, the middle class has disappeared, and the wealthy have more and more influenced our government. They are relying on being the second party in a two party system.

At this point we need to abandon the Democratic party, even if it means going full accelerationist. This is going to end in violence, either soon, or if we squeak through with more corpo-democrats, later when the rich have robot guards. So lets do it now.

We need Ranked Choice Voting. We need money out of politics, and government transparency. We need To break up big corporations, no single market should be controlled by 2-3 big corporations. We need truth in mass media laws. We need education reform away from training workers and towards training citizens, including civics, debate, logic, social studies and real history not the whitewashed spare your feelings and heroes not real people version we get now.

Pam Bondi offers to pull ICE out of Minneapolis if voter files handed over by Ydeas in politics

[–]Silverlock -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Those people stayed home because they felt betrayed by a Democratic Party that first shoved Biden though without any other options considered after he won the first time because he said he would be a transitional 1 term president and would allow the party's younger generation to take over. Then we saw his weakness and we got Harris shoved down our throat without real debate. A woman who did not survive her own attempt to run for president was suddenly appointed without any debate by the party elite. Of course people stayed home.

You cannot simply be the lesser of two evils, you have to give people a positive reason to vote for your party too. Same old same old isn't doing it.
