  • Minnesota is one of the only states with large social protections, and is one of the most progressive States in terms of actual impactful policies. The MN Dem party also isn’t the US Dems. They are a seperate Democratic-Farmer-Labor which is significantly farther left than the center-right-wing dems.

    Walz even tried to ban corporations from owning single family homes outright a few years ago (republicans blocked it then wonder why home prices soar)


  • Star Tribune has been covering these protests more than national news.

    But yeah, early reports say 50,000 people, but the videos look much more like 100,000, and just in the main area.

    Plus Minnesotans are actually organizing and they have rapid response teams to pick people up in the woods as ice beats them, tortures them, and then leaves them to die in -30C, often naked in the woods. Media doesn’t cover that either.

    Plus, there are aid teams organizing food, diaper, and supply runs and distribution to at-risk population. A lot of people are working hard to keep people fed and alive while it is -30C outside

    Plus they have ICE locating teams that follow ice as pass news on to different neighborhood when ICE is going there and pass out instructions.

    Plus, smaller scale, but Minnesotans are starting to come out and have armed guards for neighborhoods against fascist occupation.

    This is compared to in Texas and a lot of the South (famously “you can’t push us around, we all are armed”) where there was the most ICE activity for all of 2025, and they just bent over and took it while licking the boot on the other end.



  • That is simply not true.

    Here in the EU we have chat control trying to be forced through every year for mass surveillance and targeting like Spain targeting catalan independence movements.

    Palantir is starting to expand into the EU and american fash-tech companies have been lobbying hard and giving money to fascist parties across the EU. Musk gave unprescidented money of AfD fascists, for example.

    UK has been getting more and more fascist for years, they have had mass surveillance for years and have been arresting people for simply attending zoom meetings supporting a country being killed off en-masse. Palantir literally just landed a £240 million deal with the UK government

    We don’t have an ICE problem yet. Neither did america 10 years ago. It is being pushed HARD here to create an ICE problem.


  • Almost Nothing.

    US had <0.2% conviction rate of war criminals, <1% of "major war criminals. Look it up, <200 convicted and actually punished of 100,000. Fascist war criminals is one of the lowest prosecution rates of all time. Very safe criminal activity apparently.

    They gave many of the Nazis jobs, land, and positions in government and the UN. Nuremberg was a complete joke for publicity.

    If US history is anything to go by, they will get off with 0 consequences. Just like WW2 and the civil war. The US needs a significant change to deal with it, like trial-less minimum life in prison for all ICE agents or it will be literally the same shit cycle of fascism.



  • If there are side effects, then the god is not all powerful like the bible claims.

    The thing is, the bible was written by corrupt and greedy humans, the bible has been selected (many books left out or included) by corrupt and greedy humans, modified by corrupt and greedy humans, and translated by corrupt and greedy humans.

    If I wrote a book and claimed “it is the direct word of god and this god is the only god that is all powerful and all knowing and better than your god” that doesn’t make it true. That is literally what happened thousands of years ago, and nobody could refute it or argue against it because the only people who were literate or educated at all were the elite who had a vested interest in control and order

    If there is a god and any of his word actually made it into the cherry picked bible, it is so mangled and corrupted beyond recognition as to be useless and unrecognizable, and people STILL have corrupted it so much further daily that they do not follow a single point of the bible. What makes anyone think that people back then were magically less hateful and had absolute 100% integrity even though there was significantly more war and corruption than now.


  • No, it truly isn’t. They don’t care even about the illusion of competancy.

    They literally illegally gave technofascists surveillance execs commissioned high ranking positions in the U.S. military with zero experience or training just because they got paid. They gave vibe coder teenagers full access to US social security. They put an alcoholic white supremecist in charge of the whole military.

    They will replace prosecutors with maga loyalists that maybe completed 1 year or law school and those prosecutors will do a horrible job (just like almost every person they installed in the past decade) but the important part is that when the time comes for the “pro quo”, they do their part and become yes men.

    And yet again, the democrats will, with corporate cum still on their lips, do nothing, even symbolic, as is tradition, even when they had the power to do something.



  • Cheese and cold cuts (maybe besides chicken/turkey cuts, but especially anything salami or sausage related) I would argue are not healthy. Better than the worst of the worst like ice cream, desserts, and candy, but it is just saturated fan + saturated fat + a small amount of protein, zero fiber, and not many vitamins or minerals.

    Very tasty, and fine to snack on in small amounts, but literally any edible plant, nut, fruit, yogurt, legume, or even things like granola or protein bars have much more nutritional content.






  • Except the 51% owner of the block chain can overwrite the ledger and billionaires and hostile governments have all of the computers to do it. This has already happened multiple times with smaller coins IIRC.

    Block chain is essentially just the techbro version of capitalism (not an alternative, a recreation). If there are distributed companies and enough competition, the system works pretty well, but when everything centralizes as has inevitably happened everywhere, the rules all get thrown away.
