Start shit, get hit.
The object of a system of authority is order, not justice. Justice matters only after injustice sufficiently compromises order.
Start shit, get hit.
It also has no basis in reality.
The Israeli Government used AIPAC to capture the American Political class. That is the reality.
Every US President and major political figure since the Clinton Administration has spoken at their annual Convention. US Politicians regularly travel to Israel.
I could keep going but you’d probably accuse me of Gish-Galloping.
None of this is conspiracy, it’s well documented and out in the open for everyone to see.
If US withdraws their support…
AIPAC has made it so that cannot happen and they do it intentionally.
I don’t agree with the Republican immigration bullshit but I’ve argued for over 30 years that if any of these blowhards were actually serious about immigration enforcement that they’d go after the employers. The I.R.S. has known for years which employers are hinky, they can see it with SSN re-use during employment verification.
SSN 506-03-2379 cannot possibly be working full time as a construction worker in Florida, a meat packer in Iowa, picking crops in California, ditch digging in Texas, and running Door Dash in 57 other cities…ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
Find the employers involved in this and fine the ever loving shit out of them. They can employee people and pay them real wages instead of building their business on the back of underpaid immigrants.
The modern NRA is near useless but what you’re accusing them of hasn’t been true in a long time.
The NRA that supported The Mulford Act ceased to exist on May 22nd, 1977. The membership was fed-up with their organization supporting Gun Control and in an event known as the Revolt at Cincinnati they removed and replaced the entire leadership then set the organization on an entirely new course.
Post '77 it’s been very rare for the NRA to support any kind of Gun Control, to the point that they’ve spent the last three decades getting torn up in the media for staunchly opposing any limits on 2A rights for anyone. They’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time, money, and energy winding back all of the gun controls and policies that they supported prior to '77 and to my knowledge they’ve made no attempt to limit 2A rights for non-whites.
Now some of the NRA members and 2A associated politicians are certainly racist / sexist / 'phobic fuckheads but the organization itself hasn’t cared about any of that for decades.
The biggest knock on the NRA in modern times, basically the WLP corruption era, is that they completely lost the willingness to go against the Police regardless of the circumstances. The '90s (Cold Dead Hands / Jackbooted Thugs) era NRA would likely have already been in the streets at this point.
The NRA is very nearly a failed organization at this point.
In regards to recent events there was a time back in the ‘90s where they were pretty willing to get involved in stuff like this. Ol’ WLP himself let fly with phrases like “Jackbooted thugs” and Charlton Heston proudly declared “From my cold dead hands.” The NRA of the '90s was a fiery organization that was increasingly positioning itself as an anti-government force.
Then it stopped. I’ve never seen confirmation as to why but my supposition is that after the “jackbooted thugs” comment that WLP got a tap on the shoulder from the men in black suits and a deal was struck.
If today’s NRA had the spirit it did 30 years ago they’d likely already be in the streets.
The car they’re describing is from the late 80s / 90s when “freeway speed” was just 55MPH (at least here in the United States). If car travel was forced to be any slower than that people would simply fly everywhere.
A common trip for me back then was 630 miles one way and at 55MPH it was 11 1/2 hours. If you lowered the speed just 5MPH it would take nearly 13 hours!
At that point I would have just gotten on a damn plane as 13 hours (likely longer with fuel stops) is simply too damned long.
I would argue that it is already the case that cheap cars look and perform excellently, compared with cars produced fifty years ago.
50 years? Try 30 and even 20 could be argued.
I wanted to read the article but it shares your data with 925 partners and they put down a tracking cookie that lasts for 6 months!

Ah yes, the classic “lOOk aT tHE TOlEraNt LEfT” argument.
The person I was replying too didn’t mention Left or Right and neither did I.
It’s a false equivalency.
Silencing your ideological opponents is ethically and morally inferior and I don’t care what your supposed motivation is.
My ideological opponents are already silencing speech.
Uh huh. I can fire up Social Media and find endless content openly discussing the entire spectrum of Political,Cultural, and Economic beliefs. Nearly all of that is openly discussed on Mainstream Media as well. You aren’t being silenced.
As long as fascists exist they must be silenced.
Define “fascist”.
When they seize power, they will not do you the courtesy of allowing you to speak…
Which is precisely what you yourself are proposing. Congratulations, you are rubbing elbows with the very people you claim to despise.
If you do not tolerate dissent then you are ethically and morally inferior.
Censorship of speech is a powerful tool. Why, if you have the true conviction of your beliefs, would you fight with one hand behind your back?
Yes, but have you considered the outcome of everyone doing this?
Moreover, I’ve seen no evidence in my lifetime that letting my ideological opponents speak leads to positive results.
Mmmmm, yes. All ideological opponents should be silenced. This is clearly the way.
Seriously, if this is what you believe then you are clearly stating that you have no interest in a Free Society. You are literally placing yourself in the same group with every other Tyrant, Authoritarian, and Fascists who needs to be resisted.
Free Societies must tolerate dissent, it is a foundational requirement.
This kind of crap is driving popular creators, like Geerling, to move to other places. YT / Alphabet has lost the plot.
YT Premium has no ads. YT Lite does, just fewer of them (supposedly).
If you are looking for a small and stable instance you should evaluate lemmy.today. It’s hosted in the U.S. (Pacific North West) and has a high degree of federation.
If HR isn’t asking candidates about themselves as a person, or is only asking generic “Tell me about yourself” kinds of questions, then **they are doing it wrong. **
On the other side if a candidate doesn’t have any questions about their future work environment, not just the role they applied for, then they too are doing it wrong. A candidate should care about whether they would fit into an environment / culture.
At its core employment is a relationship and both sides should treat it that way.
Big…if true. This article is long on claims but utterly bereft of proof.
The tracking and fire control systems already exist. The show stopper right now in 2025 is the cost; mostly because the needed missiles are ungodly expensive and you need so many of them.
About $300 is what the mechanics in the area usually charge.
That’s complete robbery. Go to a tire shop.
$300? A TPS sensor replacement should cost like $75 including the sensor itself.
As explained in the video you can’t run 50 amps ona dryer outlet. It’s 42 amps max.
