Oh, oh...

The US defense industry is losing orders as the US is starting to be regarded as an unstable country and ally with tariffs playing directly into it. $300 billion yearly at stake. Lots of high quality non-US manufacturers seeing more business.

I've been seeing tons of ppl posting this article and while it is an important and rarely told story of fascism, it's way less relevant to modern (American) politics than its posters think.

Fascists don't need to restructure the US govt in order to do ethnic cleansing, etc they do that already. 1/

Exasperatingly frequently necessary reminder that the weaponization of ableism and fatphobia and homophobia and transphobia against your political enemies still works to NORMALIZE those things, thus SYSTEMICALLY HARMING your supposed allies.

Look none of this is difficult.

The billionaires want us to hate each other. They're buying every newspaper and social media company to flood the space with bots and hate speech to keep us fractured and divided. And we could do that - and tear each other apart - or we could try to fix things.

I am done messing with this thing but I think it's fair to assume that hundreds of millions of people experience the computer in a way that is actively harmful

You're a fucking ballwasher for fascists, Will. You're playing "No u, no critique me, only you, no me."

You're just as fucking dishonest as Trump as his ghouls. You just want to pretend to be the good guy. You want to be a martyr to stroke your ego.

All you really are is a fascist's bitch.

we could use tech and eco-strats to mitigate this entirely predictable YEARLY occurrence and all we do is hire more slave catchers to throw bodies at flames while the fire hydrants RUN OUT OF WATER
“The consistent defunding of other city programs in order to give the LAPD billions a year has consequences, and these elected officials do actually have blood on their hands."

i'm not going to get into my personal experience with this, i will just say it is deeply fucked up even when it seems "ethical."
I’m not particularly absolutist but I do really feel like it’s hard to imagine a situation where putting a child in restraints isn’t deeply fucked up.
