Red_Leaves_Flyy··on Supreme Court rules ex-presidents have immunity for official acts
Nice distraction.

I don’t know how justices should decide cases (not a constitutional law scholar, what are your credentials?) but I know that the majority in this one is wrong and should be impeached. The federalists are a cancer on the legal profession. Failure to self police has allowed them to fester when healthy communities would properly ostracize and treat such demented people but here we are.

Perhaps we can all band together to gift these clowns rvs and luxury vacations to get a public healthcare option for everyone?

What about the turncoat operative of a foreign government who just so happens to be a political rival?
Red_Leaves_Flyy··on Supreme Court rules ex-presidents have immunity for official acts
Not quite. If you’ve been following federalists you’ll see they’re rewriting and redefining whatever they need to in order to achieve their ends.

Find me a DA that will routinely prosecute crooked cops. They don’t exist because the gangs close ranks and protest by refusing to their job. When other state employees protest they get beaten and forced back to work.

Interesting.

A combination of meaningful threat to life, assets, family or freedom is what the duel accomplished. With the courts packed by unqualified partisan hacks it seems we’re facing an unprecedented danger to democracy and the American experiment.

>The Constitution simply didn't envision a situation where the criminal justice system is more likley to hold someone accountable than an election or Congress

The constitution didn’t envision a sprawling legal services market to secure the freedom of criminals despite overwhelming evidence while poor people are enslaved like cattle in a nakedly classist and racist exercise of state power to maintain class divisions that afford the empowered unearned wealth power and privilege by virtue of birth.

Speaking of trends here-exceptions occur and get held up as some gotcha that only further betrays ignorance of the system and actually represents the calculated tokenization of the oppressed to act as a shield to scrutiny.

Intentionally misinterpreting comments is very much against the rules of this site.

You’re supposed to be charitable in your interpretations.

I’m saying that Biden must act with his newfound unconstitutional powers freshly minted by the unqualified tyrannical theist fascists on the Supreme Court. How he does that is up to Biden, sorry I wasn’t more explicit - I ignorantly assumed the nuance to be as plain as the fascist intentions of trump and the company he keeps.

Which is why Biden must do this and immediately resign the presidency. Though he also needs to fix the Supreme Court so dubious territory even with the recusal.

Yeah I’ll have a conversation about the nuances of authority delegation with people who aren’t actively trying to make America a theist state.

Red_Leaves_Flyy··on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
While your point is not without merit, some people can work within a system while resenting its existence, covertly rebelling, and fighting for change. I’ve known many to do just that - but they also tend to be intelligent enough to that broadcasting their subversive intentions would be harmful to their livelihood so they don’t. People like this aided in destroying the Nazis.

> The only thing you can do is

I’ll stop you there - reductionist arguments can be dismissed with the same casualness they’re made with.

>to fly under the radar and not participate, or participate as little as possible

So you’ve invented communes and the barter system. Tax time must be interesting.

>build your communities and relationships outside of it.

Pardon? Do you have a spaceship or space station? Wholly independent ship-city in international waters? If not you’re apart the system wholly and completely.

It is difficult to see the difference but very few people are privy to the planning of the programs revealed. Only those who oversaw the entirety of the programs can really grasp the scope due to the compartmented nature of the programs. I think these disclosures helped arrest a rapid decay into a dystopian surveillance state. However the motivations and irrational belief systems behind these programs persist so the fight is not over. Instead the proponents of unchecked surveillance powers are increasingly on the defensive and face more scrutiny than their arguments and results can justify leading to a continued reigning in of their powers that seems likely to continue for the foreseeable future. I’m not satisfied with this state of affairs but I am unsure how to reach a better one with the power systems and officials at hand. If you have any ideas please share.

Ah. You point at a pile of shit that’s long been festering but the selfish bastards that left it have long since departed. Some people are still around adding to it here and there (brexit, etc) but the malaise and disconnectedness of the proletariat are what protects these problems from being solved because they still benefit a small group of powerful people who would very much rather their wealth, lazy existences and the like be undisturbed. A key hurdle for the proletariat is to find a way to unite across cultural boundaries - a very difficult problem in any country.

They’re only doing what other intelligently managed orgs are: defensive retention via compensation. With the labor force how it is, orgs that prey on precarious workers are in a game of musical chairs. Where do you want to be when the music ends?

Red_Leaves_Flyy··on The Effects of Early Relational Trauma (2001) [pdf]
Survival is not the same as thriving. Survival is the bottom rung on Maslow's hierarchy and below that is death.

Being versed in the terminology of a subject is not the same as being an adept practitioner.

The next few generations will become better practitioners while us graybeards (encompassing down to those in high school now) will suffer from the consequences of not receiving a better education in mental wellness and lacking the structural supports necessary for that.

There are still a lot of barriers to widespread mental wellness from taking root in American culture: homelessness, poverty, class, conservatism, regressive religions, et cetera.

Infrastructure is not sentient. Remember that and the causes of French Revolution my friend.

With no one to run the tools or tools workers chained to tools what good are the tools? They decay and many cannot be moved effectively.

Thanks to the fact that criminals won the war on drugs - a destitute life on the streets perpetually high on meth or heroin and alcohol appears to remain within reach for the foreseeable future posing an attractive alternative lifestyle for those dispossessed of abusive labor conditions. Funding social welfare programs would rebalance the calculus but that fact is angrily denied by most wealthy people despite the overwhelming consensus amongst researchers and practitioners.

Expect the difficulty to staff these expensive tools with impoverished staff to fuel inflation for the foreseeable future. It is not impossible that ever more creative financial engineering may stave off any of the countless imposing financial crises but the rebalance against capital for labor is long overdue even without a financial crisis to fuel discontent.

I for one hope that the rebalance can occur peaceably but accept the fact that rich and powerful live in reality distortion fields so are more likely to lash out violently than concede a single of their unearned pennies.

Red_Leaves_Flyy··on Read the wild email Tesla is sending to suppliers amid Supercharger chaos
The email:

>To all concerned:

>You may be aware that there has been a recent adjustment with the Supercharger organization which is presently undergoing a sudden and thorough restructuring.

The KKK lynching a black personal is different from a person in black bloc shooting someone dead at a protest but it seems this nuance is unimportant to you.

Fascinating.
