Trump and co. are merely impatient oligarchs that feel that they now have the technological and propaganda controls fine tuned enough to reduce the chances of blowback ever reaching them as they ramp up the extraction of value from the rest of us.
For the other lot were doing this apace too but most of the worst of their efforts were hidden in the global south.
Maybe. But mostly it just looks like the boomerang effect.
Shocked. I am shocked. Shocked I tell you.
It was clearly fascism when Project 2025 was leaked.
Which goes to show that one of the mightiest weapons against the oligarchs turning the people against each other is the teaching of critical thinking in schools.
That’s why this cultural virus attacks teachers and coups education boards. The pay off is these automatons believing that there is a direct mirror between the egoless Dredd having the ultimate power to end a criminal’s life within the boundaries of a harsh but ultimately unprejudiced set of laws and their own prejudicial bloodthirsty fascism that constantly corrupts the law to suit their ingroup and individual needs.
Not to be overly Comic-book-guy but:
Judge Dredd is never portrayed killing someone for his own gratification in 2000AD. He isn’t racist, or to my knowledge, even a classist.
Yes, he is a ‘judge’ in an ultra violent society that devolves execution, due process and investigation to the officer on the beat.
But no one is above the law as far as he concerned not even the judiciary. There probably isn’t a president of the US that he wouldn’t have arrested for their crimes, and quite a few he’d execute for their crimes against humanity. Trump wouldn’t have made it to this millennium.
These ICE thugs are just cowardly fascist scum. Law is just a weapon of suppression to them. For Judge Dredd the law was sacred and the only thing preventing humanity from eating itself in his post apocalyptic future hellscape.
This is it: low income folks that graduated in '94 were the last to get full student grants and no fees to pay + renting was relatively way cheaper too.
Yeah, I think most people underestimate how vicious hungry wild animals can be.
Liberals don’t want truth or justice, they want a self serving narrative that disguises their contempt for people they feel are beneath them.
Verbicide’s first written use is recorded to have occurred in the 1820s. Which funnily enough was 200 years ago. Unfortunately, due to only a statistically insignificant number of people being aware of its meaning in the 1820s, your initial point is null and void…
It’s perfectly normal for a working glossary of terms to evolve within a limited interested group and then spread outside of that group if their utility aids the comprehension and discussion of current concepts.
