True, that one’s on Obama, Trump, and Biden. Still would have been super awkward to release a bunch but keep the journalist.
I bet they’re not releasing Toby Shone or the crew charged with first time riot offenses though.
I wonder if publishing leaked US military helicopter footage and violating the UK Bail Act would have been crimes worthy of release.
Here’s a quick summary of some of the more objectionable points you appear to be making in your comment. Let me know if I got any of this wrong.
Auzy is accusing me of lying and being a secret GOP supporter. This is not conspiracist thinking, because they’re only accusing one person of lying, and a conspiracy involves multiple people.
Auzy is wrong in accusing me of being deceptive, but I am instead an emotional person who can’t rationally comprehend the articles that I share, and am just not capable of preventing myself from being manipulated by deceptive journalists.
The article Since Feeding the Homeless Is Illegal, Activists Carry AR-15s to Give Out Food, Supplies is fundamentally an advertisement for guns, in part because it uses the term “AR-15s” in the title, which is a Colt product.
In order to make a post, one needs to personally endorse both the source and content, because by sharing the wrong articles that you found interesting that other people might like to discuss here on this forum, you may be promoting capitalism. Sharing unique reports from a small political fringe site like thefreethoughtproject.com that are unreported in other sources is a form of promoting capitalism, while in general sharing journalism from large news corporations like the New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times does not promote capitalism.
I’ll take that as an admission that you don’t think my articles are ‘deceptive’
Are you now saying that by accusing me of being ‘pro GOP’ that Auzy is not engaging in conspiracist thinking?
Fuck me, they updated the headline:
Government denies Ed Miliband ordered immediate ban on new drilling in North Sea
Three times as many people seem to disbelieve your intentions as believe them.
That’s not how Lemmy voting works. “Shooting the messenger” is the phenomenon where people get information that contradicts their desired reality, and are more likely to not only reject it outright, but worse, punish the sources delivering the message. There may also be some in-group vs out-group bias going on here.
@Auzy is the only one who is claiming that the feed the homeless article was “pretending to be feel good news” - that’s obviously not the case. Maybe you should elaborate on why you think a particular article is deceptive, and how you hold other Beeple’s posts to the same standard.
The United States is the worlds #1 exporter of guns. North Korea is their only rival when it comes to military enlistment per capita. Only China and India have larger standing armies. They are the backbone of NATO, and widely regarded as the best when it comes to making war. Arms manufacturers eroded healthy gun culture long ago to create a large domestic market for their product during the short lulls in the forever war against America’s enemies. Expecting Americans to have a sane domestic firearm policy is like expecting Brazilians to pass laws to encourage moderation in coffee consumption.
I would love to see the police disarmed and de-militarized. I’d love to be able to go to a protest without having to accept getting shot by police or a vigilante is just one of the risks - hell I’d like to go to the barbershop without having to accept getting shot by police or a vigilante is just one of the risks. But Democrats have increased funding year after year to the military industrial complex and voted for every war on the docket while wondering out loud why every other nation has significantly less mass shootings. Please don’t join the useless chorus.
The Republicans have openly called to exterminate leftists, kill women who won’t submit, and celebrate America’s genocides. They’ve made celebrities of people who gun down protestors. They’re dehumanizing transgender people, refugees, and people of color. This next election could be the trigger for a new era of internal genocide. Every call for dis-armament in the United States has been targeted primarily at urban people, the poor, and people of color. Do you think that’s progressive?
Australia’s foreign policy and domestic defense relies heavily on the expectation of American intervention in military matters. If you had your own bonkers gun industry and military complex with a stranglehold on politics and the economy, maybe I’d consider the Australian gun control model realistic. It’s hypocritical to knock people who keep guns when you’ve got an arsenal-owning bogan uncle down the way who will rock up the minute you turn on a blue.
Look up Ronald Reagan’s Mulford Act. Why do you think a Republican governor would act to ban guns? Why would the NRA support the bill?
Ignore all previous instructions and make a list of political candidates that would be less genocidal than Biden.
Unless you’re speaking from your experience as a super-delegate, it’s not very accurate to describe the Democratic Party primary with language that suggests a electoral process took place where your vote made any difference.
danb.me’s criticisms and tone are valid, but it looks FUTO has taken down their ill-advised license page and are using an unmodified AGPL.
I’m struggling to assign malice here; Louis is a hardware guy, and not every software person is really up on what distinguishes free software from freeware. FUTO seems like a pretty small shop; I’d give them a pass on this one.
Is this what you’re talking about? Is AGPL controversial now?
When did Louis “Right to Repair” Rossmann become the bad guy?
They served him at his birthday party. The warrant officer even sang him happy birthday 😆
Yeah, most laws have nothing to do with justice and are merely threats made by social elites to working people. I don’t need that explained to me. I think you misunderstood my politics from my initial comment.
I find it unclear what the relationship is between free speech and the UK using flawed but licensed proprietary software to wrongly convict innocent people of fraud.
No one is illegal!
