wait, instilling global-level racism is not fascism?

No. Fascism is fascism. This exact flavor of stupidity/dishonesty is why I asked where you get your nonsense definition. You don’t need me to define fascism - just take the five minutes to pick up your preferred dictionary or even better, Umberto Eco’s widely respected definition and educate yourself.

there is one possible outcome for this election

No. There are two (bad) possible outcomes that vary massively in the scale of death and suffering that they’ll lead to. To draw and argue a false equivalence is not only to dismiss that easily preventable death and suffering - it’s to advocate for it. Also, not relevant, but not my country.

If you’re not American, you can’t vote, but where you’re failing to lift a finger is that you refuse to ease off your meaningless virtue signalling bullshit around the election a massive number of lives are at stake.

Pull your fucking head in and stop enabling the deaths of who knows how many people you dishonestly claim to care about as you weaponise their suffering for nothing more than your ego.

Absolutely disgraceful.

sigh

What definition of fascism are you using? It sure as shit isn’t the dictionary or Eco’s - words have meaning.

That aside, there are 2 possible outcomes for this election - that’s a simple, mathematical reality. If you care about brown people, which of those two options will cause the death and suffering of far more of those people?

…but rather than lift a finger to actually help those you claim to care about, you’re going to throw them under the bus and empower the worse option because you can’t swallow your pride and vote for the lesser of two evils. An I right in thinking you’ll risk those peoples’ lives so that you can virtue signal with a Green vote?

They’re not currently in power. I’d like to keep it that way.

You don’t need the permission of a European kid to vote for the least shit option for your government and kick the can of fascism a little further down the road. The recent is close - the outcomes delivered by each candidate aren’t - you shouldn’t need encouragement to vote accordingly.

Don’t forget the electoral college…

Broken-ass excuse for a democracy that’ll be shattered if Trump wins.

But that would shift the election in favour of the Democrats…

Yes - if the GOP can’t survive more proportional representation, they shouldn’t.

Gotcha - that’s an understandable, relative position I think I can agree with based on my memory of both characters and portrayals.

…Absent this clarification, it was looking as though you might belong in the same bucket as them.

I think it’s safe to say that this is a pretty incomprehensible standard for most. Could you explain what would make him evil? Viewing people as people, for example?

We can expect capital to rally behind the idea that profits are for the vitally important shareholders, not the lazy do nothing workers that do all the work.

We can also expect a huge number of people to be brainwashed and stupid enough to belive that narrative.

The issue is all signs point to them pivoting to AI and ad driven nonsense - they’ll move on, but if the product goes to shit so will I. The rest is noise.

Because the genocide is the point.

Israeli leadership have admitted to funding Hamas’ displacement of the secular moderates with predictable results - the only credible explanation for this is that it was to manufacture the pretext for their current actions.

Tell me you haven’t worked with servers without telling me you haven’t worked with servers.

Someone call the police!

I am the police.

Colloquially, it is.

Wikipedia too, I suppose.

This sub’s credibility seems to be on par with the Gray Zone based on what you’re upvoting - I’m blocking this brain rot.

Is this a case of “if you call us genocidal, we’ll kill you too”?

Don’t embarrass yourself further by telling me what other people think as you’re getting downvoted this hard.

In the context of this conversation, “people” can speak for themselves.

Again - are you a coward that attributes their support for lynch mobs to “people” rather than owning them, or are you dishonest, presenting other people’s arguments you don’t believe?

Failure to answer that aside, it seems you’re arguing all violence is wrong because we’re taught not to hit in preschool, but retaliatory violence is good because the courts don’t take circumstances into account and sentence accordingly. I don’t need to refute your points - you’ve done that yourself - albeit poorly.

Apparently you can incarcerate someone in the US for $14K p.a. - though this is at the very low end. Apparently, it’s $18K in Mississippi or $136K in Wyoming.

Sources vary, of course - but this is the general consensus on the ballpark figure. I don’t think it’s wise to use Germany as a proxy for prison costs in the US - the US has too big a prison population and too sadistic an attitude toward them for this to be a reliable reference. That said, average costs appear comparable, and I’ve provided the approximate range.
