Thank you for explaining it to me.

Yeah we aussies know how badly we treated our indigenuos people too, the new zealanders were better, as I said. I’m still going to shill for anyone who stands up to trump. We live in the prrsent.

It’s sad that all I can do as an Aussie is buy some real maple syrup. It also says a lot about what Canada gives to the world. There’s a damn good reason that Americans put the Canadian flag on their backpacks. We say here that New Zealand is to Australia what Canada is to America. They are our better, kinder sibling, the ones who didn’t join the war, the ons with more honour and integrity. Go Canada.

Fair call, but how will they get along with evangelical christians dying for the apocalypse?

Yeah, that sounds like what people said about project 2025, i dont believe the ‘he doesnt mean it’ crowd.

My dude you forgot women. Women are the prime target of all religion. They’ll end no fault divorce, end marital rape, institute child marriage and call it all gods fucking plan to procreate. The right to vote will only belong to male heads of family.

Genuine question: if israel wants to expand their territory, and it seems clear that they do, why would they want to give gaza to christian americans? Isnt total control their aim? Why would they let america take territory they see as their owm.

I think we would agree that for profit prisons are an absolute atrocity. I harbour a lot of hate for certain types of criminals, but for profit prison is downright evil and corrupt right off the bat. Protecting the public must include rehabilitation or you’re just releasing monsters. I would separate violent and non violent, i would also throw every intervention at the problem and see what works, employ the success stories, end poverty fist and foremost. In my opininion, incarceration is necessary mostly because society has failed, in some caes it is however, unavoidable.

I appreciate your perspective and experience on the subject. Thank you.

Does imagining everyone that is locked behind bars as a violent rapist make you feel safe?

No, the vast majority never go to prison. I gave it as an example, i dont think you are pro rape. It’s just an example of incarcarating people in order to protect society. I believe that protecting people is the primary goal of incarceration. Better rehabilitation would obviously help this endeavour. I disagree completely with the idea of no incarceration as this would allow violence to flourish with no protection for those under threat.

Lets discuss freeing violent rapists.

No.

What’s truly wild is a news source providing the video at the top of the story without any overlays, talking heads or extraneous crap. Astonishing.

As far as I can tell the cybertruck guy killed himself as a pro trump awareness campaign and it’s the best suicide bombing i’ve heard of in many years. Will never cease being funny.

It may have more to do with Greenland seeking independence: https://www.reuters.com/world/greenlands-leader-steps-up-push-independence-denmark-2025-01-03/

That is very toadlike

Valentina Gomez, a Texas Republican, drew sharp criticism after suggesting undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes should be publicly executed.

What about the violent crime of setting someone on fire? I have to admit I have no problem with shooting that guy in the head (if he’s guilty).

If someone did that then lemmy would be cheering. The only problem people have with this video is that she’s hurting the wrong people.

I accidentally got a manual labor job and it’s the only way I have or will ever exercise.

Voluntary exercise is the most physically and mentally torturous activity. It is pure boredom plus pain and has never made me feel anything but worse, eg curled up on the couch staring at the wall for an hour in despair. Fuck exercise.

Turns out that if you pay me and give me a reason to move around I have no problem. Exercise for it’s own sake is just not doable for me, the pointlessness and misery are depression inducing.

Doesn’t stop men from loving the idea. See the current adoration of rapist mike tyson on lemmy.

I did, didn’t work.

We outsourced everything we could for cheaper products and now we’re pissed that those countries are developing their economies. Wait until the BRICS don’t need western markets anymore, then shit will get real.
