Accessing content I paid for isn’t pirating. And corporations have been working in eroding our ownership of the things we pay for years now. You can stop pretending they haven’t

It was always for state militias, before we had a national army. That dusty paper literally says that.

Authoritarians always paint their opposition as simultaneously weak and incapable, and strong and manipulative.

Yes, growth will take a while now that you’ve crippled our global trade, severely hindering our access to necessary materials

This only makes sense if they are counting intellisense auto complete as “AI written”

Once lived in a small town with not one, but TWO Hollywood Videos. In like the late 20-teens. Just napkin math numbers, you’d need every household in the town to rent a video twice a week to support both of those just maintaining their leases… Over a decade into the age of streaming dominance.

There was no way they weren’t doing something shady on the side.

The title was what triggered it for me

Even buying physical media, they claim you still don’t own the content, are only leasing it. It’s all bullshit to charge more and give us less. Stop defending this practice of eroding consumer rights

Sounds like it’s centralized around Linus…

And people already can’t be bothered to know what the stances in major issues between the two main parties are, you really expect the average voter to research random individuals?

Have you ever tried looking up info in those local school board candidates? Half of them don’t have anything online at all. Still, despite how easy it is to make a website

And The Republican supermajority on the new SCOTUS is looking to rollback gay marriage.

When the DNC uses their media connections to push the narrative that Clinton was ahead by hundreds of delegate votes before the primaries have even started… Don’t you think that’s going to have some affect on how/if people vote in the primaries?

Using the end result of ratfuckery to try to disprove that ratfuckery occurred is a shit argument.

Continuing to give the genocider everything he wanted wasn’t going to get him to actually listen to anything you said.

The US is notoriously bad at dealing with insurgencies. Toppling a government/military is what the military is designed for, and has shown to be able to do in a matter of weeks, but stamping out an armed populace afterwards has always been where they falter. The US would be the most heavily armed insurgency to ever exist. More guns than people here

He tried very hard to do so with Iran last time around, when he committed a war crime faking a diplomatic meeting in order to assassinate one of their to generals.
