oooooookayyyyyyyy.
billionaires, man: they not like us ._.
edit: oh wow i suddenly just realized, the fact that i never installed the epic games store and didn’t accept from them even the things they were giving away FOR FREE means that i never aided or abetted this irredeemable monstrous pedophile scumbag sack of shit. I did not expect to feel vindicated today. What a pleasant surprise.

News@lemmy.world•Woman Killed by ICE Identified as Protesters Take to Streets in Minneapolis and BeyondEnglish
0·8 days agoMy faith in the law has been shattered for quite some time, and the insidious (subconscious) whispers in the back of my mind suggest that there has never been any justice, only an illusion of it.
And that what we call ‘justice’ is merely specific instances of harm happening to people in ways we happen to prefer–[sanity check stack-dump initialized]
[reconstructing from first principles]…which I suppose would make the only real point of contention the matter of what excuses we adopt, from which we derive such preferences:
Which of the excuses we adopt to determine preferred kinds of harm,
as well as which of the excuses we adopt to determine preferred recipients of said harm.We’ve come to use kinder euphemisms than “excuses”, such as “reasons”, “rationales”, “logic”…
Excuses with extra steps.
Not to imply that those extra steps are useless; they are the fulcrum around which we turn our aim.The biggest difference between us and the feral hog infestation terrorizing communities across this entire continent is which excuses we find most or least objectionable.
When Brennan Lee Mulligan joked in the voice of an anarchist fictional character, “Laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic ethnic group of a given nation; It’s just a promise of violence that’s enacted, and police are basically an occupying army, ya know what I mean?”, it is still referenced now and again even half a decade after he uttered it because it resonates with people. On some level, sometimes… maybe we’re afraid it’s the truth. Not that we know it’s the truth, but that it makes us wonder, makes us interrogate ourselves, makes us question. Like an intrusive thought. Like the call of the void. Most of the time we just usher it out of our minds and remind ourselves “no, we have systems in place to manage this, we already have it figured out, we all agreed to follow the same set of presuppositions and adhere to the same social contract, so I can trust that if I follow those directives then nobody will murder me, or if they do they’ll be punished, which is a very good reason for them to not murder me.”
… and then fucking shit like this happens.
KINDA HARD TO DISMISS THE SINKING FEELING NOWADAYS ISN’T IT
KINDA HARD TO JUST SMILE AND NOD AND ASSUME EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE NOW HUH
we’re either all safe or none of us are, and right now none of us are safe.
I still don’t know what to do. But my gut tells me that the very worst thing to do right now would be “nothing”.

1·8 days agoI wonder how long it’ll be before the domestic terrorist who murdered her in cold blood in broad daylight is identified and dragged kicking and screaming to the justice he painfully deserves…

0·2 months agoWe know that we’re looking at: a Holocaust.
That’s literally what’s actually fucking happening.
Palestine is experiencing a Holocaust.
And the fascist state of Israel is inflicting it.
So yeah. Holocaust education worked.


Well, shit. If they’re gonna treat minnesota like it’s seceding, it might as well go for it. Wonder if Canada would take them in.
