Riley: Oh, yes, the victim! At what point does personal responsibility become a factor in this equation?

Dubois: I don’t think that’s–

Riley: I see piss coming, I move.

Huey: mmm

Riley: She saw piss coming, she stayed.

Dubois: Yes, she did, but–

Riley: And why should I have to miss out on the next R. Kelly album! Just for that?!

I would categorize them as conservative institutionalists. Which, in my opinion, the liberals have an easier time appealing to them ideologically.

Electorally thats a benefit and, thats the minimum we need against fascists right now.

More rams than a shepard. Respect.

Mad lad, hats off to you. If I have 6 or more open I start to feel uncomfortable.

I don’t think I’ve ever had 63 tabs open on my browser. Well done.

I hope they break up google. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I’m remaining cautiously optimistic.

That could very well be true. I chose to believe he doesn’t really believe he is making the country ‘great’. He is simply reading from fascisms playbook, as a result of late capital.

I agree, that some might say he subscribes to palingenetic ultranationalism. Yet, I think that would make him a fascistic collaborator.

Either way its all bad news.

In my personal opinion trump isn’t ideologically fascist. I would consider him opportunistically fascist.

I believe he wields his rhetoric for his own personal gain. I’m thinking he would just as quickly change his rhetoric if it advantaged him.

None of what I’ve seen from the current GOP tells me any one of them has the same saucy charisma as trumf. He’s not built like them, his defining trait with the GOP is that he’s a garbage human being.

I’m still waiting for my 40 acres and a mule.

Looks like Abbott and Paxton too

So Musk decided not to leverage this influence and instead acquiesced to a foreign government for funsies.

Sounds like him.

So in your mind the possibility of Musk being extradited could lead to those colossal outcomes?

The starlink thing died yesterday but, I can’t imagine a reaction this strong from the US financial sector or MAGA.

I disagree with the intensity of this response, if it were to happen.

I’m failing to see the connection with Brazil here.

What would the backlash be from the US financial sector?

Why would MAGA be mad about the US Government extraditing an African American?

Remember that time Musk expressed that he was in favor of free speech? Then he censored content on his platform for the Turkish government?

Why would the US strain their relationship with Brazil over Musk? Politically, it makes sense to extradite him.

Also imma need a citation on how extradition works, I searched the wiki and couldn’t find anything.

Something something, there are no republican states there are only voter suppressed states.

Oof, The ultimate “this you?”.

Absolutely, it was a delight speaking with you. Enjoy the rest of your day friend.

Sounds good to me. I like the idea of making corporations do what we want. I have very little concern for the freedoms of businesses.

I imagine it would work much the same way taxing any service industry would.

I wont pretend to understand how the sp500 calculates its value. I personally think the stock market is all smoke, mirrors & vibes. Tech still needs patents and copyrights, a likely vector of attack for a willing government I imagine.

Unfortunately, I have a vague memory of the video maybe its this one?
