The implicit song here goes hard

The people who downvoted are stupid, thanks for sharing :)

Personally I’d make an exception to my moral stance that work as punishment is slavery, and would prefer to keep him around forcing him to work 70 hours a week, in addition to doing all the other chores required so that he can live - in prison - for the rest of his life.

Maybe we’ll make it 84 hours a week just for good measure, can’t be giving him a day off.

Seems more poetic

As much as not protecting endangered species sucks and is stupid, what you’re talking about is the MUCH more concerning part.

Annoucement by annoucement, the US accepts rule by decree.

How, in the ever-loving-fuck, are people not marching in the streets (I am aware people are, but as a percentage of the population it’s really not enough given what’s happening)

Sadly, only sort of: https://youtube.com/watch?v=TwPLqGkYnBA

Does it really cost what Kagi is charging? I would love to see some research on this if people happen to know where to find such articles.

Like, in theory to pay for Kagi or a similar service but it’s just extrotionately expensive.

I pay for other service which are offered for free (like email hosting), but those are reasonably priced.

Install a VPN to be slightly safer on public WiFi

Hey guys, remember when these same countries ragged on China for being against freedom of expression?

The sad part is, banning VPNs for most users is extremely doable now.

Source: I have been to China not that long ago and VPNs are mostly cooked now :(

Luckily my state government seems to encourage VPN use (despite the federal government’s horseshittery): https://www.vic.gov.au/using-public-wifi-networks-safely

Soooooo like a proper appellate court system?

This already seems to be a thing in other countries, just saying. Most common law countries (it seems from cursory reading) have mechanisms to refer convictions to an appellate court system.

I am not a lawyer and don’t really know how things work in practice in any country.

I’m back to point out presidential pardons are an absolutely WILD power to give to your head of state.

I’ve yet to hear a solid defence of having it in the first place. It’s a power just waiting to be abused.

I dunno if this analogy works because Rupert Murdoch is originally from Australia

Edit: turns out I can’t read and it works perfectly because “we” is the US

Your “left wing” democrats are further right wing than our mainstream conservative party coalition. (The Liberals, and probably the Nationals too, to be honest)

And that’s with an extremely right-wing owned press (Murdoch & Nine Fairfax, Australia).

Let that sink in.

And please, for the love of God, actually riot. I don’t enjoy the notion of being under the thumb of the US with the fuckwits at the helm.

It was bad enough with vaugely competent imperialists in charge.

The No Kings marches are piss-weak given people are ALREADY DYING and more will die because of the Dems capitulation.

I’m not a revolutionary, but I damned well would be in your country.

Seriously, and kind regards from the provinces.

Indeed. Conservation of energy means he definitely felt it, just spread out over his entire torso, bouncing off harmlessly.

If it makes you feel better, this may be a mistranslation from German where saying “eine Software” is appropriate.

Real journalists? You mean the same people who write “according to a report from xyz organisation”. Which report you lazy fucks? I’m looking for the source, not your layman’s interpretation.

Journalists (on average) are atrocious at citing their sources, or are being asked to be atrocious, and it has driven me crazy when searching online many times.

I’m sorry, but the rules for how your government works are so confusing.

And requiring budget bills to pass every year or you entire government shuts down is a bug most other democracies patched out last century. (You just make everything roll over by default if you can’t pass a budget). The US Government seems to be constantly in shut down. It’s kinda dumb folks, it doesn’t need to be this way.

I could have sworn I heard that the 100 person US senate only needs 51 members to pass a bill, but I vaguely heard they don’t want to do that because it overrides the option to filibuster?

What???

Very lost over here

then they won’t be and people will need to be able to move on

Wtf are you advocating for here?

That law enforcement shouldn’t face repercussions if they’re breaking the law (or violating generally accepted human rights)?

No, ICE agents covering up their face, so they don’t have to face consequences, shouldn’t be able to just move on after the fact.

Are you allergic to the concept of accountability?

It’s absolutely bizarre that you are arguing for the humanity of Americans, when that’s not your position. Your argument is for the “humanity” of those within law enforcement wanting no consequences for their actions.

It’s very naive to think this isn’t troubling for EVERYONE in the US, not just the alleged foreigners (who, in many cases, are completely legally in your country and have done nothing wrong).

The US is a imperial nation, so I have every right to comment on your politics, as a vassal of the US.

Bruh, as much as I’d like to see you cry about how the leopards ate your face (when you inevitably face the consequences of this slide into fascism), I’d much rather see the US have some semblance of sanity. Because we’re just standing here with our pants down, entirely at your military’s mercy (Australia).

It’s about time we diversify our security partners, holy balls.

Read a book, learn some history, you made be troubled when you do.

(hyperbole for emphasis) hey guys, they were normal people like you and I. They’re just supporting their families! - You when talking about the workers at Dachau and Auschwitz

They were people, but let’s not pretend they were innocent. Shame is a great motivator, and would influence many ICE agents to stop what they’re doing, or at least behave better, I would argue.

Letting law enforcement conceal their identity is some literal fascist shit - that’s not hyperbole.

The rest of the world (where I’m from) is looking on with extreme concern.
