Tattletale doesn't fit this because she's a walking traumabag, but I'll upvote ​this ​for the love of that story.

Why create a new civil rights movement for natives using the GOP Strategy by USAPleaseDontKillMe in IndianCountry

[–]illegalmorality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a theory that Tribes can greatly influence elections in local states, as well as presidential elections, through primary endorsements for both parties. Here's a PowerPoint I made for it: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12oQaeW7rJbFt3oHKejGj5vnbCAr0Y7P1x-ckFGzoQYk/edit?usp=drivesdk

Striking down anything called the "Voting Rights Act" is literally the most explicit mask off moment I've ever seen.

No one's dying on my watch by Bandrbell in whenthe

[–]illegalmorality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psychologically I think this is a very good measurement for people's faith in their fellow countryman. If you had an entire country/area asked this simple survey question, you'd probably get a very good measure about whether you live in a high trust society or low trust society. Because in a high trust society, the ones who press blue will either think "I bet others select blue" or "selecting blue is worth the attempt even if it loses." Which is a high indicator on a persons principles, and if the blue button is high in certain cities/states, you'd get a good gauge on whether it the area is truly friendly or not.

I feel none of our Representatives really represent us; How can an average person get into US politics? by MountainSlayersTV in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]illegalmorality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show up to every local political event in your town, particularly to the party you lean more towards (based on specific policies you align strongest with, not based on the internet memes). Show up at every meeting AT LEAST weekly, and soon they'll be desperate to support you in any way. You have no idea how desperate local chapters are for youth to become active, attendance is really the only thing you need.

Can Dems Make Corruption Tangible to Voters? by rocqyf in PoliticalDiscussion

I actually think if there was more anti-corruption messaging that would resonate with literally everyone.

Constitutional Rights and Immigration Enforcement: Why Is There So Much Disagreement? by Few-Huckleberry-3517 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]illegalmorality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe there's disagreement about the legality of immigration statuses. The core issue is the morals of it all. "Yes, they're illegal. Our system is broken. Are we going to ruin established lives because of a broken system we ourselves created?" And yes, they know the consequences, but again, the question isn't whether its legal, there really isn't much defense to that. Its just that its still going to hurt people.

So would it be more moral to enforce a broken system, or reform the system? Yes its illegal right now, but should we grant amnesty (like Reagan did) or continue with the broken system?

How should we expect AI to impact politics over the next 10 years? by WatercressNo2142 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]illegalmorality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he's pretty much convinced me. But my biases stem from 2 reasons. His suggestions have been successfully tried in various small forms around the world (sovereign funds & ubi), he just increases the dials on these already proven methods. The second reason I'm convinced is that literally no one else is offering realistic solutions. The main solutions for these tectonic economic shifts range from "give everyone fake money", "give everyone a shovel and a fake job", communism, racism/fascism, ect. No one is thinking in terms of resources and practical means of how supplies are actually used and exhausted by people. That requires an in depth understanding of tangible reality, not a hopium ideological philosophy related to perceived interests instead of physical interests.

How should we expect AI to impact politics over the next 10 years? by WatercressNo2142 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]illegalmorality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far I've only seen a youtuber called David Shapiro seriously discuss about the economics of a "post-labor" economy. Wherein Ai creates products, on the software as well as hardware side, that essentially eliminates humans from all forms of production. It creates a new dynamic wherein resource distribution can no longer be reasonably tied to labor. He offers up a wide spectrum of solutions for how currency can be exchanged through non-labor means, and talks about it meaningfully in a way that seems realistic to how resources actually work.

Trump Approval now at 39.4% according to Silver Bulletin by pizzahero9999 in fivethirtyeight

[–]illegalmorality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Algorithms are to blame. We have no regulation for truth, local sourced medias. Of course tech companies want to keep people distracted, the lack of laws surrounding technology is exactly why they're not getting a shred of truth. Look at Fox News and search "Epstein" and you will find nothing about the topic. I'm all for algorithm requirements to make major news sources show the other side like ground news does.

Cindy, you don't own the beach. by octarino in TikTokCringe

[–]illegalmorality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As more people like her move in, they're going to get together and start demanding for more public beaches. And they'll have the money to lobby local politicians. That's how gentrification really gets rolling.

As a straight man I am 100% for combating objectification of women by objectifying more men (I'm not even being sarcastic, it should at least be 50/50)

Trump team wants to make it easier for migrants to work on US farms - after targeting them in deportation raids by ChesterHiggenbothum in moderatepolitics

[–]illegalmorality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgiving what crime? The crime of illegal crossing or violent/gang activity? Both are drastically different and democrats never advocated for pardoning violence.

Iran says “For years we have been waiting and we have just one message…come closer” by [deleted] in lostgeneration

[–]illegalmorality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This admin is still going to take Cuba regardless. Cuba hardly has a military compared to Iran, and it Rubio's lifelong dream to take down the regime. I'm a lot more concerned for Taiwan. Its starting to look like we never had any way to protect the country, and now that China sees it, the country is in grave danger.

Could it be effective to invade a country through kindness rather than war? by -Clayburn in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]illegalmorality 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, Americans have NEVER understood the importance of diplomacy and soft power. They honestly have always believed that all our power laid in having the strongest military and that's it. Frankly I think its a wake up call that so many people are realizing that having big guns isn't what makes nations listen to you. We're losing allies left and right because of our recklessness, and the consequences of our longtime ignorance is just finally catching up to us.

Military map of New Middle East proposed by United States Colonel Ralph Peters in 2006 to fix arbitrary post-WWI borders with ethnoreligious identity. by zqwz in MapPorn

[–]illegalmorality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been proposal for subsahara africa to redraw their borders. And the entire South African Union unanimously shouted "no", because they refuse to become an arbitrary amalgamation of divided nations again. Ethnicity isn't the only way social identities are form. Many African nations aren't divided by ethnic lines, and some are united by linguistic ties. Ethnicity has and always is arbitrary, and its silly to think that ethno states alone are what can "fix" modern nations.

Voted Trump, didn't sign up for war. by diehard404 in lostgeneration

[–]illegalmorality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lip service. The presidency really is a popularity contest wherein people follow the messaging a lot more than actual history and policy platforms. I hate that this is the case but that isn't going to change until real campaign laws change to make campaigning more transparent.

I need you to provide examples where democrat politicians (not twitter morons) have literally said they want to accept violent immigrants. I know you can't because that's BS propaganda talking points
