No and I haven’t seen any real evidence disinformation bots were affected by the data center strikes. If you want to do something more rigorous then I welcome it but it seems like a lot of wild speculation passing as fact has been making the rounds on this topic.

Nah he’s just kinda hot

I guess but there don’t seem to be more of us than the people they’ve fooled into backing their pet politicians…

Am I crazy or has basically every country moved to the right in recent years?

There are degrees of authoritarianism. But every state engages in it through policing, border controls, prisons, etc.

Just because some states are better than others doesn’t mean that the state is not a fundamentally coercive institution.

Most people are authoritarians. It’s not their fault though since opposing such systems is very dangerous and disadvantageous to people. Hence why they persist.

These techniques are targeted at individual species, not all mosquitoes, and the species in question are invasive species. If it was targeting native mosquitoes your comment would make more sense, but in this case the ecological effects should be neutral to positive.

But 18 is still a teenager…

Modern EVs have hundreds of miles of range and can easily do road trips as long as there are chargers along the route. I haven’t done any cross county trips but I have driven from NorCal to SoCal and eastern to western CO without issue.

So what’s the actual causation here? If it’s random noise it’s not clear to me why these things have a positive association rather than negative.

I always find these sentiments puzzling. As someone who tries to be nice to everyone I simply don’t encounter people like this. I’m not sure if I’m subconsciously avoiding bonding with such people, I’ve been lucky, or what. But I have a pretty big social circle so the second one seems hard to believe.

That’s over 50 years. I assumed you meant just from this conflict.

Climate change will also cause tens of millions of deaths over the next few decades fyi

Millions? Seems a pretty big exaggeration.

Needs to include a facial recognition ban.

Is 74 lashes likely to cause death?

No such thing as a bad country. Just bad governments/organizations.

Not really though. If anything the fascists have tried to push people into violence so they can arrest them. This is exactly how the FBI disassembled radical eco-anarchist groups in the 90s.

Your summary of the current situation is also pretty exaggerated. ICE is committing crimes against humanity but not mass murder. We have free press and those people have lawyers, family, etc. We would know if they were being exterminated, if that’s what you’re implying.

The reality is a coordinated general strike would much more easily bring a fascist government to its knees than even an army of Benjamin Songs. You are not going to defeat the US military and if you give them the political legitimacy to escalate to that kind of conflict we’re pretty much cooked, if we aren’t already.

That’s not to say if they do bring the war to us we shouldn’t fight back but it hasn’t happened yet. And we don’t want it to. We want to fight on ground that works to our strengths, not theirs. And a civil war where they control the entire military and policing systems is not to our advantage.

I mean there’s a few that are worse. Some Latin American countries that did more genocide than Mexico are pretty weak.

Dickens over here just trying to distract from his rizzlessness.
