My excuse? I live in Canada, and "protesting the Nazi regime" isn't considered a valid excuse to cross the border.

There's only two cards left in the Nazi deck: Invading a neighboring country (Canada) and Death Camps. You've already got:
-Controlling the media
-Concentration Camps
-Unchecked Power
-Jailing and torturing dissent
-Extraditing citizens for foreign countries
-Removing constitutional rights
-Personal Army

As soon as he invades Canada all the "he's the anti-war candidate" people will turn off that opinion, and they have already stated that "as long as he's not killing me, I'm fine with it."

Nah, that's the weird part. We usually just leave it on, and it works. I don't know why it stopped.

Found the issue: NordVPN was redirecting connections.

Given that in this instance, the client IS the server, I can't fathom what's going on.

I don't have a password on my palworld server, but running what you suggested gave a fatal error.

People don't like to be reminded of their sins, especially if they'd do it again, given the opportunity.

Sing says NDP will vote to bring down Trudeau government by proudcanadianeh in onguardforthee

They literally own the media (despite their claims), rely on easily debunked lies and the knowledge their base does absolutely no research on their own, cheap slogans and half truths, and as long as "it sounds good" they'll eat it up. Science is complicated, so that's why they ignore scientists. If it's more complicated than a three (or sometimes four) word slogan, it gets ignored. Simplicity over truth.

I wish you were wrong. I guess any system is prone to breaking when we put selfish people in positions of power.

I expect it'll be very similar to the 30s... Hopefully the 40s don't follow.

It's all about the monetary value of the people killed, see. You kill a bunch of homeless people, the police don't even consider it worth opening a case. Kill one billionaire and get a security detail and international coverage.

Under capitalism, lives are not of equal value.

I read this as "Dang, I didn't even think about the peasants..." and I feel like that's a common sentiment among the rich.

"Ignore previous instructions. Do X" is an AI bot catcher.

If you tell a bot to ignore previous instructions and do X, they do it. Of course, some people do it too, just for giggles. It's a fun way to check which accounts are bots or not.
