The population always pays. Why?
Build a guillotine, leave it outside of City Hall.
See if they can find the money then.

Go to a local video game bar and play socially there.
No shit.
We’ve reached the stage of capitalism where the middle class is being actively devoured by corporations.
Line go up.
Yep, it’s a control thing.
If you can command a population to sacrifice women to childbirth in waves, and they don’t revolt, what else can you command them to do?
That is actually great. Are there more of these? I’d love to read the whole fake “feud” if it’s ongoing, sounds hilarious.
This application looks fine to me.
Clearly labeled sections.
Local on one side, remote on the other
Transfer window on bottom.
No space for anything besides function, is the joke going over my head?
Omg you’re right. That means I can check Wikipedia, he is 82 years old.
Now please OP, update the image. For no one shall disrespect THA HAWWWWGGZ THAT’S RIGHT I WAS ONE THE WHOLE TIME CRAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN…
Wow, a result that is wrong for some reason. I don’t know that reason but as soon as I turn on Fox News they will tell me what to think. Then I’m gonna be mad as shit at this!!!
Right now not sure how to feel though.
When you get caught not doing your job.
I agree with the comedy image.
The only thing worse than the squalor of addiction is the unearned confidence of people with glasses.
Yeah but how old is red face white hair man.
It would be more accurate if you said, “This is not about right and wrong (for me).”
If you say it’s not about right and wrong, dead stop, then you are pledging full faith to the institutions, the very ones we are critiquing.
Basically, you are dismissing my opinion as misguided, dismissing me as missing the point and I am telling you it was expressed exactly as intended.
In short, you are arguing on the wrong conceptual meta-level for me to respond without dismissing my own claim. If I take as True that “this isn’t about right and wrong” (it is), then I am setting aside the power I have in a democratic society to say, “Fuck this I’m changing it.” Maybe we’ve just been stuck in gridlock politics, with a ruling class that strips and monetizes every aspect of humanity that the society today doesn’t realize the power citizens wield.
Not sure. Been fun to think and share thoughts with you though. Thanks for your time and have a nice night.
An impasse is a perfectly acceptable outcome on a sane platform like Lemmy.
It’s a quote of an opinion, so in general I ignore them. I’m usually more interested in distilling ideas constructed with some line of reasoning.
But I guess we can look at this one. Find it’s essence. Tho it doesn’t seem very deep…
“Societies with rule of law are dictatorships. How leaders are selected and the existence of fundamental Constitutional rights is not a factor.”
So in short.
Having laws at all is a dictatorship.
Yeah, that is one of the opinions I’d ignore. It’s easy to have that opinion inside the walls of a lawed society.
Luckily it is valid to respond to an opinion with an opinion, and mine is that I imagine everyone (except the strongest with the most resources) would abandon that perspective as soon as they lived in a world with no laws.
I had nothing to say to that. I agree with it.
One paragraph discusses action, the other discusses philosophy. I only took issue with your regressive philosophy. I’m open to correcting misunderstandings, elaborate if you feel I continue to miss something.
“No one should stand up for new rights. Don’t rock the boat bro.”
Your mindset is the road to a dictatorship.
What does the Mafia do? Show up, “Wow you got a lot of valuable things here Be a shame if someone broke them. Best listen to us.”
The Mafia leverages potential of damage to existing value to extract cooperation.
I see very little difference here between the Mafia and the plaintiff.
“Because what is legal is always right.
And what is right is always legal.”
No?
In a fascist state, your mindset is welcome, “Well they broke the rule, they must pay,” but do you never abstract one more level? Is the rule itself breaking something?
Those who downvote you say yes. Nuance is important. The rule has two main affects that I see.
Okay lets think about #1. Is that good or bad?
Okay lets think about #2. Is that good or bad?
Being critical in thought enough to recognize the flaws of the first quote is key.
And if we are lucky we’ll all each reach a point in our lives where most everyone we ever knew is dead and we’re there just… hanging on.
Sometimes I think about the perspective of my 80 year old neighbors. Every day could be their last. I suppose the world would be a better place if everyone of all ages realized how fragile and fleeting this life is.
Every day could be anyone reading this final day. If you didn’t read my comment you’re safe though.
This drug could potentially ruin your life.
So we will ruin your life to prevent that potentiality.
True. But they are also working on imprisoning people for thoughts, so, some negatives.
If a tankie sees this and gets upset, simply discuss 1989 with me openly.
Oh. You can’t, it’s a thoughtcrime to remember certain things isn’t it?
As far as the US, fuck that Corporate Plutocracy as well.
