  • most of whom were arrested en masse without any process resembling justice—just tattoos, zip codes, or looking nervous.

    That’s the price they pay for letting their culture get that bad.

    Why are you talking about tattoos here?

    The person you’re responding to highlighted some text from the article, pointing to injustice of the regime by believing tattoos automatically = jail.

    You said their “bad culture” is the price they pay, implicitly grouping tattoo, zip codes, and looking nervous defined by the previous comment all under “bad culture” of those who do go to jail.

    You then gaslight me for pointing out your fascism and disregard for civil liberties by avoiding any correlation with tattoos because you didn’t mention them explicitly.

    Every knows what you were talking about bro. The fact you asked this question makes me think you’re a troll with no convictions for attacking modern fascism. Thanks for giving that away so all of us can treat you as such.











  • Even if he had gone all in on manufacturing, it’s not like a supply network of industrial goods can be built in a day. Hell, it’s hard to build that in a 4-year term. Trump is virtue signalling while at the same time jeopardizing any chance America had of reshoring.

    It’s honestly infuriating me how big projects needed to improve our infrastructure take years and years to complete, when from one administration to the next, those same projects can be cancelled.

    It takes multiple presidencies to build something good, and it takes one to tear it all down.

    I see now the benefits of China’s 5 year plans with how well organized they can control their economy.









  • Buddy half of American voters voted for trump.

    Incorrect. Only 63.7% of eligible voters turned out to vote in the 2024 US General Election.

    That comes out to around 155 million voters, of which around 77 million voted for Trump or ~49.8%. Democrats on the other hand got around 75 million or ~48.3%. of the vote.

    This comes out to ~31.7% of eligible voters voting Republican with ~30.8% voting Democrat.

    Less than a third of Americans wanted Trump in office, not half. Let’s get the facts straight.

    The reality is that the majority of American voters

    ~31.7% of Americans is not a majority, according to the American Heritage Dictionary.

    are stupid, lazy, or both.

    Have you considered that the actions of Republicans gerrymandering voting districts to hell and passing anti-voting laws and policies, that the actions of Democrats failing to represent their constituents by veering more and more Right, and that the pressures of capitalism, rising inflation, stagnating wages, and a lack of a national holiday where people take off work to go exercise their civic duties are reasons for why more people don’t go out and vote?

    Noooooooo, that can’t be. Voters are stupid. Voters are racist. Voters are lazy. And it isn’t the system that has stripped away their material needs that is the problem.
