“with guns, there is no such thing as an accident”? Negligent discharges happen all the time. It’s a reasonably big part of gun injury statistics: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7250a1.htm
Guy should get in trouble for what happened. But it’s not reasonable to frame this like “we know he intentionally shot his daughter because of her views on Trump.” And don’t get me wrong, fuck trump and fuck maga.
Is that an upper class student radish hanging out with a subsistence farmer radish?
Yes, the list isn’t very useful if 70 million people are on it.
I’ve been reading “Fighters in the Shadows” by Robert Gildea, it’s about the resistance in France during World War 2. It’s funny how big the tent can be when you’re fighting fascism. They had people from all across the political spectrum, urban and rural, French plus countless other nationalities, and they were pursuing a really wide spectrum of activities.
If you read Stancil’s feed these days he’s really doing the work, plus publicizing the issue. I don’t think it makes sense to prioritize social media grudges at the moment.
What are you trying to accomplish here? Is your message to any Americans of conscience “no, you can’t beat fascists”? Don’t be a dick and don’t be defeatist
I didn’t do shit because I wasn’t alive then. And clearly they’re not gone, because here they are. But you may note that slavery is illegal now. Not enough but not nothing. If you want to doom keep it to yourself.
Better if it shows a Confederate soldier?
We will beat them again. It’s just a question of how much suffering until then, and how much we actually root out the ideology.
Because we live in a complicated system. If it was one guy inside a compound with more food than he could ever eat and there’s one person outside who’s starving, then yes, that’s immoral.
But there’s a ton of different participants and different incentives. For example, if a farmer stopped getting paid to grow food, they’d probably stop growing. (At least more than they need) Or if a store owner loses enough product to theft that they’re losing money, they’d probably close.
On the other hand if one person steals bread that’s not going to close a store or bankrupt a farmer. But as that number increases there’s some threshold where it becomes a problem, or if people stealing are all concentrated on one area.
I think we should guarantee that all people have enough to eat, a place to live, healthcare and education. I’m not entirely sure how to implement that even if I’m king of the world.
For food I think it could look like some sort of universal “food tax” based on income, then every person gets a food stipend. It could be rolled into a universal basic income. Some rich people pay much more than they’d ever eat, some poor people pay nothing. Food still gets paid for so food producers have an incentive to do what they’re doing, and we continue to have variety and innovation.
If the instance is in the same country, a government can much more effectively exercise leverage against some guy running a server than a publicly traded corporation with lawyers on retainer.
If it’s not the same country maybe easier just to ignore.
The best case in terms of privacy is just not collecting data. Something like mullvad vpn where they don’t keep the sort of records that governments ask for.
Unfortunately anti spam measures often involve collecting identifying information (like email addresses).
