antifa··on A university president makes a case against cowardice
> Not all conservative Christians and right wingers think "women and LGBT people ... don't deserve rights

Weird how those specific Christians who think women and LGBT are people don't feel discriminated against.

antifa··on The Darkest Timeline – how I see the 54% tariff impacting the game industry
I would hope they at least reverse copy right duration back to something sane like 20 years.

Good, I'll help you pack your factory into your suitcase.
antifa··on A university president makes a case against cowardice
Nobody knows you're a Christian or right winger at a university until you open your mouth to let all the women and LGBT people know that you think they don't deserve rights, and it's not discrimination when people don't like you for being an asshole. The vast majority of Christians go to college, don't get mad that LGBT and non-Christians exist, and didn't get discriminated against.

The absolute narcissism on display here is crazy.

antifa··on An 'administrative error' sent a Maryland man to an El Salvador prison
> You think it’s possible to do what Harris promises to do by giving each one a jury trial?

Due process has been working mostly fine for the last 200+ years, no need to switch to fascism.

antifa··on Talkin’ about a Revolution
Planting trees is categorically fraud, waste, and abuse under the current regime.
antifa··on Talkin’ about a Revolution
> It ask is not just for the right to exist, but to be placed within the gender heterosexuals are attracted to and accepted as no different. In this way, it lacks the libertarian arguments of gay rights.

No one is forcing you to date someone you're not attracted to.

And it's not like the exploding batteries where they have an incentive to do anything about it.
antifa··on When the physicists need burner phones, that's when you know America's changed
A lot of people live in countries that won't deport someone to the US for documenting a list of crimes against humanity performed by the US government.
antifa··on Trump says he is not joking about third presidential term
> I've seen at least 3 people in my community [no longer feeling safe to express themselves and engage in harmless acts of personal freedom due to the implied coercive threat of a police state]

it's like the sociopathic cherry to top off your other favorite things like child labor, child starvation, bathroom genital inspectors for your wife and daughter, and mass layoffs of black people and veterans.

antifa··on Scammers Steal $1T a Year – Mostly from Americans
I actually don't believe the NFT sale was primarily intended to be a scam, but the secondary effects of scamming his own fanbase were of course problably welcome. If someone were able to trace all the payments to their sources, it would not surprise me if the primary purpose of the NFT sale involved:

- violation of the emoluments clause. - bribery/quid pro quo (pay me now for the presidential acts I agreed to do, but also people who helped him financially earlier may be early investors who are intended to be beneficiaries of the rugpull). - Trump 2 being more of a shared puppet than we realize.

antifa··on LibreOffice downloads on the rise as users look to avoid subscription costs
I don't remember Elon Musk (who is obviously a fascist if you do any basic research on his recent history and family history) being on any ballots. I don't remember Trump campaigning on mass layoffs. I don't remember Trump campaigning on firing veterans. I remember Trump mocking other candidates for being warmongers. The mass deportations appear to be targeting free speech and skin colors and Ukrainians more than actual illegal immigrants and criminal immigrants. There is also the issue of skipping due process for these mass layoffs. Trump did not campaign on bringingback monarchy. Trump did not campaign on dismantling social security. Trump denied any interest in Project 2025. Trump sold a rugpull shitcoin right before inauguration. All evidence available shows that Trump is for sale to the highest bidder and has contempt for the constitution.

So no, these are not the policies that people voted for. These are policies that oligarchs cooked up.

Hard to say for sure about Jack Ma, did anything actually happen to him, and if so, was what happened to him fair? He seems better off than me.

China still has many billionaire and millionaire entrepreneurs, so it does appear that they have the concept of markets and capitalism on a leash in such a way that wins for the people of the China, the central government, and the entrepreneurs. Even if some of that isn't perfect, they live in a country of rising prosperity, and I live in a country of 30 years of stagnation where billionaires just bought the government to turn us into an impoverished 3rd world feudal state.

Even if I'm completely wrong about about China and it's all a lie or bubble, my country isn't exactly offering a future.

They could put pressure on the US government to enact economic reforms and stability or they can accept that sales will be down during Great Depression 2.
antifa··on Has the decline of knowledge work begun?
"Don't fix what isn't broken" is often becoming a survival tactic these days. You never know what new modern puchase you could make is spying on you, only works online (when no useful reason for that), made of cheaper materials, planning to remotely disable a feature and charge you for it, vendor locks resupply/maintenance, etc..

It increasingly applies to nearly all aspects of the economy. Everybody wants to lock you in and take a cut. Almost all new innovation these days is just rent seeking gatekeeping. Even genuine innovations are unable to get their innovations out without either recreating entire software stacks (or supply chains) that's under feudalistic/parasitic control, they often remain niche and undermonetized. This will have an effect on the economy like a % yearly reduction in atmospheric oxygen will destroy biodiversity.

antifa··on China's Energy Transition at Odds with Solar Glut, Cheap Power
> Yes, that might be surprising to left-leaning US citizen who are aware of the recent floodings in WV and the lack of national help: the abandonment of rural area seems somehow worse in China.

I can't say for sure how things are is particularly favorable for a specific side, many will be quick to judge with intent to merely confirm their pre-existing conclusions, but the real question for me is: what are these places going to look like in 50 years? Is the US going to sober up and become a first world country again? Is China's modernization going to continue and reach the country sides (e.g. not a bubble)?

My best hopes is that peaceful prosperity arrives at both places.

antifa··on France plots tax on super-rich to rearm – and Britain could be next
What are they going to do, pack up all the factories they own into a suitcase and fly away with them? Oh wait, they already gave them all away to China? So what's suppose to be the downside? Where's the threat?
antifa··on The curious surge of productivity in U.S. restaurants
Good luck getting permission to fly drones within X miles of an airport.
antifa··on Is GitHub Lying Here?
> how do you know they didn’t request this.

That's easy. It's the Microsoft dark pattern era of computing, and Microsoft owns github, and Microsoft is heavily pushing "AI" and "Copilot" everywhere. Therefore, the person who requested this is clearly Microsoft.

If it was actually an employee/someone you know, Microsoft would tell you, or, the person would have you sent you a link and said "this is cool, we should get this".

antifa··on McDonald's gives its restaurants an AI makeover
McDonald's seems to recently have really bad soda at increasingly close to all restaurants in my general area, and if you try to Google information on this (prepare your tin foil hat) you can only find people claiming Joe Rogan told them McDonald's has a secret exclusive best coke formula.
antifa··on Svelte5: A Less Favorable Vue3
Pug has been pretty complete for quite a while, there just isn't that big of a potential for insecurity for something that becomes vue's html/jsx at build time and 99% of run time threats is basically that the dev sent unsanitized use input to v-html instead of v-text.

The main problem with pug is that, AFAIK, vue is the only modern webframework with stable support for it.

antifa··on The US stops sharing air quality data from embassies worldwide
The fact that the US does imperialism is common knowledge. The control and influence, by military, by corporations, by corruption, etc. is absolutely massive.

It is very silly to argue it does not exist just because the British allegedly had a larger one.

People (the majority of which are not Russian and hate modern day Russia) call the US an empire because of seemingly endless list of things like banana Republics, operation condor, sending death squads to Nicaragua, chevron genocide, wars for oil.

This is one of the silliest hills to die on.
