That mostly has to do with people not understanding the implications of technology. It’s not that they want to be spies on, they’re just very ignorant and government laws against this spying has been lax at best and helping with the spying at worst

Yay, you’re right! We got one! Now we need some 10.000 more and we might have the same amount of movies out there about killing enemies

There are hundreds of movies about US soldiers being heroes by killing their enemies

How many movies are there about US citizens being fucked over by hospitals and insurance for more decades than I’ve been alive? I don’t know of any.

This really encapsulates the US in two paragraphs

Patel always looks like he’s a deer in the headlights. If only that car would speed up a little…

I’m… Not really getting it

So that’ll be shutdown in a cold minute, could that perhaps maybe drive more traffic to Lemmy?

rent a tv

No

Wow, the UK is speed running after the US, only less clowny

At least in the US there are finally some protests. When is the UK going to stand up for their rights?

teen prison officer

Wut?

How about we start with not letting teens do that? Most teens barely know how to take care of themselves and now we want them to work as an officer in a prison? Let’s set a minimum age there, 24 or something?

Oh come on, nobody would believe this nonsense, right?

Like, what kind of vagina do they put their dick in?

Oh come on, nobody would believe this nonsense, right?

Like, what kind of vagina do they put their dicks in?

I don’t get it, what is the appeal?

The Confederacy were a bunch of racist assholes that wanted to be able to subjugate people for their race. They lost.

So why would anyone want to even be associated with a loser racist club, let alone be so fixated on it that you tattoo your back full with it…

Once this is over, can the US please make that first amendment a little bit more sensible? Yeah, it’s fine to talk about Hitler, it’s not fine to start neo nazi groups, or saying that Hitler was right (except about killing Hitler, he was totally right). Similarly, I believe that the confederate flag should be prohibited except for education like schools and museums.

Yes, I want freedom of expression, but I think we’ve arrived at a point in time where we can safely say that allowing people to say anything positive about fascism never ends well.

Similarly, I want a law that needs organizations should always be factual. I know, I know, facts are hard and bias, up to a certain level, will always be there but there is a HUGE difference between any US news organization from the 70s and Fox News. Fox News is a propaganda platform, period. It should be prohibited, fuck all first amendment arguments about this. You can’t allow somebody to constantly lie to millions of people, it will end badly. News organizations should also be 100% independent. Put an independent news foundation funded by the government that can play journalists to make real news and inform people, for example.

I was already in March by January 6th…

Much worse the other way around, though

Much much worse: getting put a piece of apple in your mouth (so you are told) and its banana instead

Doubtful as it isn’t even needed at this point, but reading that article just makes you weep for humanity

Dude, NSFL that or spoiler it or whatever, not everyone needs to see this without a warning

I’m used to a lot, I’ve seen everything, doesn’t mean I enjoy having to watch an open mass grave

And one day after that the dinosaurs will have their revenge when the mammals have burnt all their carcasses, causing so much CO2 pollution that the world climate changes so fast that it kills every living thing.

The end.

Yeah, that would likely be zero

Kangaroos are ripped and just DGAF

So basically, all governments want more surveillance, almost no citizens want surveillance

How do we fix this? How can we ensure that, as citizens of any country, we can stop out government from slowly turning ball societies into surveillance states?

Jesus what a sad dollar store Gestapo wannabe
