  • There is a very American explanation for this. Capitalists have to run everything so Communists are seen as evil from the start. If you ignore how US minorities were treated, Russia and China were really up their citizens asses. Russia dropped the ball on the whole consumer electronics sector so you’re left with China and their Great Firewall, social monitoring, etc. Thus information control and Orwellian monitoring = China.

    The reality is that both tankies and capitalist dick riders are just two raccoons in the same feed sack, they only came into it from different ends.

    Of course the UK also catches flak for being an over monitored nanny state, depending on which way the wind is blowing.





  • I know a couple people who one could describe as “twat” who turn off traction control and abs, thinking they are going to be rally drivers on the way to McDonalds. They tend to end up in the ditch.

    Subaru has been good. The lane warning was the only thing we turned off because it was just obnoxious. If something is beeping constantly and erratically, what’s the point? The lane centering had a tendency to pull towards semis when passing but that seems to have been fixed in an update. The only other thing that is more a quality of life is a way easily and preemptively to turn off the backup warning and breaking assist when pulling a trailer.

    Mussolini started the fascist movement and was doing some serious aura farming ,as the kids would say. Going for rebuilding the Roman Empire would be a serious Minion bait.

    Hitler passed him in evilness and had a penchant for ridiculous super weapons. Some of the cockups they had could have been Minion level.

    Stalin was neck and neck with Hitler for evil, murder, and conquest. However, I think by the time they turn his way, the Minions would have looked at all the purges, holodomor, etc and just decided to take a personal vacation until the CIA showes up.



  • What we have seen with Tasers (the company is Axon now and they are doing Flock camera things too) is that the line didn’t noticeably move. The cops still shoot as much as they want and use tasers mostly for “compliance” and laziness. Giving cops shock gloves won’t lower shootings, they will only increase torture. Thought exercise. Person outside of touch range, gun or gloves? Next scenario: cop turns on gloves, grabs civilian, and starts yelling “stop resisting”.

    Taser/Axon coined the pseudoscientific term “exited delirium” as a cover for cops killing civilians with their tasers. This was cops tasing people for extended periods of time, even after handcuffed, and using tasers when they were not needed.
