This is the logical conclusion of the neoliberal principle of expediency. It was most obvious when Trump said “it would be too expensive and take too long to give these people a trial” before he deported them. Legally that doesn’t mean you can deport people without a trial if it would take longer than you would like, but I might just be old fashioned too.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? Specifically the conclusion about what was on those boats.

This is the wrong approach imo. It doesn’t matter whether there were drugs on those boats or not (there were, those were obviously drug boats and there was much more cocaine on them than on a billionaire’s yacht) the problem here is the collapse of international law and the USA for the umpteenth time committing acts of aggression in foreign countries, trying to start a war. Even if the US grants itself power of World Police, there is a protocol for drug arrests and it is not blowing them out of the water. That is fascism, the logical conclusion of the neoliberal principle of expediency.

The same thought keeps occurring to me: “White America is just finding out that America is fascist.”

No outrage for the firehoses, the dogs… they think the Keystone pipeline protest was just a fluke.

Wait is the US more right-wing than China? Isn’t China supposed to be an authoritarian hell hole committing genocide and the USA a bastion of freedom, merely helping with a genocide?

In January 2025, the PSF submitted a proposal to the US government National Science Foundation under the Safety, Security, and Privacy of Open Source Ecosystems program to address structural vulnerabilities in Python and PyPI. It was the PSF’s first time applying for government funding, and navigating the intensive process was a steep learning curve for our small team to climb. Seth Larson, PSF Security Developer in Residence, serving as Principal Investigator (PI) with Loren Crary, PSF Deputy Executive Director, as co-PI, led the multi-round proposal writing process as well as the months-long vetting process. We invested our time and effort because we felt the PSF’s work is a strong fit for the program and that the benefit to the community if our proposal were accepted was considerable.

Imagine if Facebook existed during the Red Scare.

“You liked a meme 8 years ago that someone posted in a group. There was a Communist in that group, so off to the gulag with you!”

dusts off hands “We are much better than those authoritarian Communists.”

You and me are allies.

Hell yea we are. Let’s be real though, if we’re in jail we’re not doing shit. We have to stay out of jail to be effective.

But if you live in a city of 300,000 people and 99% don’t know about self-hosting you still have 3,000 people who do. Unite!

XD omg how embarrassing… Kanye and Sankara sound the same lmao

Do you think the analysis of Argentina was accurate?

The better way to make a change would be to become America’s Qaddafi. 1. Pull USA out of Caribbean and Venezuela 2. Use the military to get ICE off the street and prosecute the fascists at all levels of government 3. Transfer power to democratically elected body.

I don’t get why people in power quit out of protest. Then what, a fascist takes their place? Good thinking bozo.

Edit: this came up on my feed, I guess the wiretap is working lol

From barracks to palace: Soldiers who led military coups to become state leaders

“The slave who cannot organize his own revolt deserves no pity for his fate. He alone is responsible for his misfortune if he believes his master’s false promise of freedom. Freedom can be won only through struggle.”

This will just become an excuse to jail you, then. “Unlicensed radio broadcast” or whatever is the equivalent. With those kinds of brutish, authoritarian regimes, anyone of intelligence is a threat that needs to be disappeared, and that includes you poindexter with <checks notes> OsmAnd~ installed on their phone.

Hamas has been willing to hand over governership of Gaza to a Unity Government for over 10 years. When they first made the agreement back in 2014, Israel bombed them. Not in the 2008 Gaza war or the 2012 Gaza war, but actually it was the 2014 Gaza war.

They are also full of ex-IDF spies and hackers.

Exactly. Americans are all now Palestinians.

"A little-discussed detail in the Lavender AI article is that Israel is killing people based on being in the same Whatsapp group [1] as a suspected militant [2]. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it?

Lavender is Israel’s system of “pre-crime” [3] - they use AI to guess who to kill in Gaza, and then bomb them when they’re at home, along with their entire family. (Obscenely, they call this program “Where’s Daddy”)." source

Well, she’s actually on the same page. Machado has supported an American military intervention to oust the Maduro government.
